A joke abt HR manager i heard from my lecturer today

This is a very interesting joke which came out from my decent looking lecturer.

Today in class when my lecturer was teaching on the topic of staffing, this happens that he is talking abt HR (Human resource) dept. I think he is out to keep us awake, so he told us this funny joke.

Here it goes>>>>>>>

There was a HR manager (if you still do not know, HR main purpose is to do recruitment) who met an accident. He died and was brought up to heaven. He saw Saint Peter who was there standing in front of him. So Saint Peter call out to the manager saying, "Hi, welcome to heaven. I have 2 choices for you to choose. Which is where do you want to stay? Heaven or Hell?"

Even before Saint Peter can finish his speech, the manager replied "HEAVEN" instantly. He's laughing at the questions Saint Peter asked. But Saint Peter reply saying, "That’s a wise choice brother. BUT before you can enter into heaven, there is a rule for all newbie’s is that all newbie’s got to go thru 1 day in hell & 1 day in heaven before giving the final answer.". So the manager told himself, "Humm, why go thru so much trouble to sent me from the highest part of the universe to the lowest part of hell? No matter what, I’m answer will still be the same. Unless I’m a fool". So he reluctantly followed Saint Peter to the express lift to Hell. On the way to the lift, he saw none of his HR friends as he thought there should be at least a few good guys which deserved to be in heaven.

So upon reaching the lift, Saint Peter wishes him all the best and with a smile on his face, the lift door closes.
The manager was kind of worried to stay a day in hell, thinking it will surely be a hard time over there. So within a couple of minutes, he arrives in hell.

Stepping out of the lift, the first to greet him was Satan itself with 5 beauties on his left & right. The manager was shock to see Satan was so charming, wearing the most fashionable clothes and holding the latest LG-PRADA hp taking pictures with his beauties.
So Satan walks over to welcome the manager. Satan said, "Due to the privilege of not having daylight, all those who are in hell are not required to work. So there will only be all the after work parties which you like to hang out with ur friends in pub drinking.” WoW, the manager thot to himself, that’s not a bad idea.. Soon he was greeted by all his HR friends drinking at a corner. So he joins in and had a great time having fun with them.

Time flies, its almost coming to an end of a day. So his friends asked him will he still be joining them the following night. So the manager, felt reluctant to leave saying, "Humm.. Who knows, maybe you all will get to see me again.”
Before the manager can say more, he suddenly found himself in the lift he took from heaven and there he goes, back to heaven again. During the couple of minutes, he thot to himself that maybe hell is not such a bad place after all.

Reaching heaven, he saw Saint Peter again and he was led to a room to collect his cloud, harp, wings and the golden ring to be put on his head. So the day for him in heaven is jus to sit on the cloud and play harp thru out. So when reaching the end of the day, he was brought back to the place where he first met Saint Peter.

Saint Peter asks the question again, whether to choose heaven or hell for him to stay for eternity. This time the manager was being hold back by his answer which he first told Saint Peter that he will sure choose heaven before he went down to hell to spend a day.
After a while, a confident & sure look on his face, he replied "I'll go to Hell". Saint Peter asked him to reconsider and maybe he wants to use his helpline by consulting a friend. But the manager replies like a tone of a judge, "My decision is final". He was thinking why spending my time sitting on the cloud playing harp then having so many good friends waiting for him below.

Without further a-do, he was happily taking the lift back down to hell.
Upon reaching, he felt the lift is getting warmer. So when he reaches hell, again he was greeted by Satan himself. This time Satan was being seen in his original form, having horns and super uglified face with 5 super ugly & gross fat woman on his left & right. Wearing totally no fashion sense clothing & carrying an hp which our forefathers used. Those 1st batches of hp which was introduced to the world, which nowadays those joss-paper shops sell for burning to the dead during August.

Satan welcomes him once again and there he saw his friends burning in fire at a corner. So he asked Satan, the day before he went down here and you look great and I was having a great time being with me friend. But now why it turns out to be otherwise? Satan, putting a smile on his face and said, "That day is the orientation day for all newbie’s, so we got to put up a good show in order to recruit you all in. Dun you know that my words cannot be trusted? Muhahaha.." and Satan walk away.

That’s all folks.. End of story.. I think its funny although is long winded..
Bcos there are many parts I personally add in more flavors to make it sound better.

Till now if you still dun get the joke regarding HR dept, then let me tell you.
Human resource is the department that in-charge of orientation, interview & recruitment.
So Satan is using his HR dept to recruit those newbie’s by putting up a show during the orientation.

The moral of the story my lecturer told us is some companies are like that.
During interview, everything looks so good, sounds so good, everything you hope to have they have it for you. So when you are confirmed as a staff of the company at the moment you sign on the dotted line, there's no turning back.
Haha..
This is only referring to some companies not all companies.
Hope you all had a good laugh.

Cheers...
