A lady manager of a big reputed office noticed a new man one day

and told him to come into her office.

” What is your name?” was the first thing she asked the new guy.

“John,” the new guy replied.

She scowled, “Look… I don’t know what kind of a namby-pamby place you

worked before, but I don’t call anyone by their first name.

It breeds familiarity and that leads to a breakdown in authority.

I refer to my employees by their last name only … Smith, Jones, Baker …that’s all.

I am to be referred to only as Mrs. Robertson. Now that we got that straight,

what is your last name?”

The new guy sighed, “Darling….. ……. My name is John Darling.”

” Okay John, the next thing I want to tell you is . . . ”
