A large corporation recently hired several cannibals. During the welcoming briefing the HR rep said, "You are all part of our team now. You get all the usual benefits and you can go to the cafeteria for something to eat, but
please do not eat any of the other employees". The cannibals promised they would not.
Four weeks later their boss remarked, "You are all working very hard and I am satisfied with your work. However, one of our admin assistants has disappeared. Do any of you know what happened to her?" The cannibals all shook their heads, "No".
After the boss had left, the leader of the cannibals said to the others, "Which one of you idiots ate the admin assistant?"
A hand rose hesitantly.
"You fool!" the leader said to the guilty person. "For four weeks we have been eating managers and no one noticed anything. But NOOOOOOO, you had to go and eat someone who actually does something!!!"
