[joke] Ten Civil Servants

[6Foot2]

Actually a poem not a joke but this forum is the best fit:

 

Ten Civil Servants:

 

Ten civil servants standing in a line,

One of them was downsized - then there were nine.

Nine civil servants who must negotiate,

One joined the union - then there were eight.

Eight civil servants thought they were in heaven,

'Til one of them was redeployed - then there were seven.

Seven civil servants, their jobs as safe as bricks,

But one was reclassified - then there were six.

Six civil servants trying to survive,

One of them was privatised - then there were five.

Five civil servants ready to give more,

But one golden handshake reduced them to four.

Four civil servants full of loyalty,

Their jobs were all advertised - then there were three.

Three civil servants under review,

One left on secondment - then there were two.

Two civil servants coping on the run,

One went on stress leave - then there was one.

The last civil servant agreed to relocate,

Replaced by 10 consultants at twice the hourly rate.
