Kevin Gaydos Told Holiday Party Is Next Saturday In an effort to keep the open bar tab from exceeding the budget, Widgets Corp LLC, Inc. management decided it was best for Kevin Gaydos not to be there. Therefore, Kevin's invitation says the party is actually next Saturday, December 17th.
"We set the real party for this weekend because we knew Kevin was going to a Covey Motivational Retreat," Janice Miller told reporters. "He wouldn't stop talking about how he was going to get his 7 Habits of Highly Effective People book autographed."
Reporters discovered that on December 17th, the venue is scheduled to host a Very Vegan Christmas. So the prank will not only be cost effective but also hilarious. New Hire Interviews Herself for HR Position Due to a rare set of circumstances, Lisa interviewed herself for the new HR Manager position. At the time, the Detroit office was without any Human Resources Department so no one else was qualified to do it.
But the interview didn't go as smoothly as you might expect. Lisa was disappointed in some of the answers she gave to standard interview questions. When asked how it went, Lisa told reporters, "She went on and on and on about her strengths but couldn't name a single weakness, like, say, talking to yourself in an interview room. Being crazy is probably a weakness at Widgets Corp LLC, Inc."
Obviously, Lisa did well enough to recover and get the job offer. Probably by answering "Why should I hire you?" with "Because we have a mortgage payment due in three weeks." New CPA-Only Table in Break Room In order to create more of an incentive for the Accounting Department staff to pass the CPA Exam, management has announced a CPA-only table in the break room. Julie Thompson told reporters, “Just like the cool table in high school, the CPA-only table is for a select group. Besides, most of the CPAs probably never got to sit at the cool table in high school so it’s nice for them to experience this feeling.”
Treasury Department Manager Harold Mercer is one that will continue to wonder what it’s like to be at the cool table. Despite having passed three certification tests, Tim has yet to pass the CPA Exam. “I bet he hasn’t even tried,” admitted Lori Anderson. “Sometimes I wonder if he’s really serious about his career.” Julie added, “Yeah, I think all that joking around is just to cover up his lack of GAAP knowledge.”
Unfortunately, none of Harold's certifications will get him a seat at the CPA-only table. “There are days I stare at that corner table as I eat my lunch,” Harold confessed. “I hear them all laughing at ratio jokes that I just don’t get. And that’s what hurts the most.”
It is rumored that Harold’s Secret Santa has purchased Becker CPA Review books to help Tim pass the exam.
