Murphy's Law's of workforce Management ...as compiled by workers
-------------------------------------------------------

   A pat on the back is only a few centimeters
   from a kick in the pants

   Don't be irreplaceable, if you can't be replaced
   you can't be promoted

   The more crap you put up with, the more crap you 
   are going to get.

   Never ask two questions in a business letter, The
   reply will discuss the one you are least interested
   in, and say nothing about the other.

   When the bosses talk about improving productivity,
   they are never talking about themselves.

   If at first you don't succeed, try again, Then quit,
   No use being a damn fool about it.

  There will always be beer cans rolling on the floor of
  your car when the boss asks for a ride home from the
  office.

  Keep your boss's boss off your boss's back.

  Never delay the ending of a meeting or the begining of 
  a cocktail hour.

  To err is human, to forgive is in-human ...as per
  company policy.

  Anyone can do any amount of work provided it isn't
  the work he is supposed to be doing.

  Important letters that contain no errors will develop
  errors in the mail ...e[lectronic]-world :(

  The last person that quit or was fired will be one 
  held responsible for everything that goes wrong until
  the next person quits or is fired.

  There is never enough time to do it right the first time, but there is always enough time to claim over time.

 The more pretentious a corporate name, the smaller the 
 organization.(For instance, The Murphy Center for 
 Codification of Human and Organizational Law, 
 contrasted to what may termed as BiG companies  (eg:GE,IBM)
 
 If you are good, you will be assigned all the work, 
 If you are really good, you will get out of it.

 You are always doing something marginal when the boss
 drops by your desk.

 People are always available for work in the past tense.

 If it wasn't for the last minute nothing would get done.

 At work, the power or authority of a person is 
 inversely proportional to the number of pens[colors]
 the person's desk is portraying.

 When you don't know what to do, walk fast and look
 worried ...preferably crash into some-one.

 You will always get the greatest recognition for the
 job you least like.

 Once a job is fouled up, anything done to improve it
 makes it worse.
