There was this pig on a farm who was multi-skilled. He would
crow in the
morning to awake the farmer. He could catch mice. He could herd
sheep like a
well-trained sheep dog. The other animals on the farm could not
understand
why Piggy was such a busy body, doing others' jobs. Piggy proudly
said that
in this society, it pays to be multi-skilled, and that his
multi-skills
would one day receive recognition.
However, the next day the farmer caught hold of piggy and wanted
to
slaughter him. Piggy pleaded and asked why he had to be slaughtered
since he
is so skill-ful. The farmer replied that he wanted to have
pork-chop for
dinner and that's piggy's purpose of existence.
Moral of the story : The boss views your efficiency according to
what U
SHOULD DO & not what U CAN DO. So much for
"recognition".
