Do U know?There were about 70 scientists working on a very hectic project.
Allof them were really frustrated due to the pressure of work and demands of their boss but everyone was loyal to him and did not think of quitting the job.
One day, one scientist came to his boss and told him - Sir, I havepromised to my children that I will take them to the exhibition goingon in our township.
So I want to leave the office at 5:30 pm.
His boss replied 'OK, You're permitted to leave the office early todayThe Scientist started working.
He continued his work after lunch.
Asusual he got involved to such an extent that he looked at his watchwhen he felt he was close to completion.
The time was 8.30 PM. Suddenlyhe remembered of the promise he had given to his children.
He looked for his boss,,He was not there.
Having told him in the morning itself,he closed everything and left for home.
Deep within himself, he was feeling guilty for having disappointed his children.
He reached home.Children were not there.His wife alone was sitting in the hall and reading magazines.
The situation was explosive, any talk would boomerang on him.
His wifeasked him 'Would you like to have coffee or shall I straight awayserve dinner if you are hungry.
The man replied 'If you would like to have coffee, i too will have butwhat about Children ??'Wife replied 'You don't know ??
Your manager came here at 5.15 PM andhas taken the children to the exhibition.
What had really happened was...
The boss who granted him permission was observing him workingseriously at 5.00 PM.
He thought to himself, this person will not leave the work, but if he has promised his children they should enjoy the visit to exhibition.
So he took the lead in taking them to exhibition The boss does not have to do it everytime.
But once it is done,loyalty is established.
That is why all the scientists at Thumba continued to work under theirboss even though the stress was tremendous.
can you guess boss?
