NASA spends $400,000 to $4 Million a year on parties

[no_way]

In a company i used to work for, one of my managers wrote an e-mail, CCing me, describing one of our products to a possible large buyer. Not being a native english speaker, he ended his letter with words:<br /><blockquote><font class="small">In reply to:</font><hr /><p>That sums it up. If you have any interesting parties, please let us know ASAP<p><hr /></p></p></blockquote><br /><br />He meant to write, "interested parties" of course. People still keep asking this guy about all sorts of parties, but we never sold the product <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" /><br /><br />Thats off topic, but i thought it fits with the thread.

Heh, heh.<br /><br />Just think you are more likely to retain knowledge of the mysterious and little known Hawthorne Effect if you look it up yourself.<br /><br /><br />{Hawthorne Effect is from a lighting project at the Hawthorne factory. The company wanted to prove the new lights increased productivity, so they turned the new lights off for a week and used the old lights again. <br /><br />Productivity went up again instead of back down!<br /><br /><br />Why ?? Because the workers felt management cared about their working conditions and was an active participant in making the factory a better place to work.}<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font color="#ff0000"><strong>TPTB went to Dallas and all I got was Plucked !!</strong></font></p><p><font color="#339966"><strong>So many people, so few recipes !!</strong></font></p><p><font color="#0000ff"><strong>Let's clean up this stinkhole !!</strong></font> </p> </div>

Throwing the 'grunts' a bone once in a while is just good business.<br /><br /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font color="#ff0000"><strong>TPTB went to Dallas and all I got was Plucked !!</strong></font></p><p><font color="#339966"><strong>So many people, so few recipes !!</strong></font></p><p><font color="#0000ff"><strong>Let's clean up this stinkhole !!</strong></font> </p> </div>
