How long have you been gone?
Did you hear about the problem at the Tickle Me Elmo doll factory?
They hired a young lady to work as a quality control inspector. They gave her limited guidance and put her on the shop floor to perform inspections.
After a week, the production foreman went to HR and said “We need to fire the new inspector. She’s got production backed up horribly. We can’t get our shipments out.”
The HR manager wanted to see for himself. The HR manager and the production foreman went to the shop floor. Tickle Me Elmo dolls were piled up everywhere.
As they approached the new inspector’s work station, they saw that she had a large pile of small cloth strips next to her. She also had a big bag of marbles.
Drawing nearer, the HR manager saw the new inspector take one piece of cloth, two marbles, and she began sewing the cloth containing the marbles to the doll right between the dolls legs.
The HR manager told the foreman “I see what the problem is.”
The HR manager approached the new inspector and said “You misunderstood your job. You are supposed to give each doll two test tickles.”
