My office supplies salesman that comes in every week to fill up our office supply closet came in early to fill our order. I guess that he won some big contest that his company was running and he was taking off for a week long cruise to the Bahamas. All of my employees heard him say this and were all jealous.

He told them that he had worked for a different office supply store before coming to work for his current company and when he learned about all the promotional things they give to their top salesman, he knew that he just had to go and work for them. I told him to let my employees know how many hours he had to work to win the cruise and he told them that for the past year, he has worked seven days a week and that usually added up to about seventy to eighty hours per week.

For some reason, after hearing that, my employees were not as jealous of the office supply store salesman anymore. I told them that I could afford to send them all on a cruise if they wanted to work seven days a week for the next year, but no one wanted to take me up on that deal. We all told our office supplies salesman to have a good time and we would see him when he got back.
