A woman walked into the office of the Personnel Manager of a large company and said: "I have decided to come work for your company, but there are a few things I felt you should be aware of before I start.
"First of all, I will only be working a couple of days each week. And when I do come in, it will only be for about three hours at a time.
"If I want to make plans to go somewhere with my family during such times as Christmas, Easter or school holidays, I will do so without anyone asking me questions about it. And, if some family difficulties arises, I will arrange for a postponement of my work until I can get back to it.
As a salesperson for this company I will do the best job I can, but I expect the company to provide all the incentives and awards needed to encourage my customers to buy our products. And please be sure the incentives and awards are changed on a regular basis to keep up the interest and motivation!
"I will not keep stock on hand, nor set aside any personal funds for processing customer orders.
"With regards to compensation, I would like a percentage of everything I sell, let's say about $20 or more per hour plus bonuses if I do a better than average job. I also expect you to offer me a variety of awards such as gifts and prizes just for doing my job.
"Oh, and by the way, if I decide to become a Manager with your company, I will expect additional commissions paid to me on my personal sales and the sales of all person's connected to me."
By now the Personnel Manager was in convulsions of laughter but managed to say, "I don't know where you're from, but there's no job in the world such as the one you just described!"
"Well, I beg to differ with you," the woman responded. "But my friend has joined a Party Plan company as a sales representative and that's exactly the kind of job she has!"
