COST TO THE COMPANY

A candidate at the job interview, when asked about what salary package he would seek, makes an irrational demand. To his surprise, he is offered a much more irrational salary. Who has been joking?

Cost to the Company

 

If you by the Board are selected for the task

What pay or perks you may deservingly ask

Sir, just half-a-million bucks in cash every month

A luxury car, furnished flat and one servant

PF, DA and Bonus as company’s policy offers

Other fringes commensurate with its coffers

For any other perk or benefits or accretions

I’ll just submit to the Company’s discretion

While gasping for breath, said the Chairman

Please accept chauffer driven car, if you can

And one car for your family’s travel and use

Else as stingy, they may our Company accuse 

Only one servant, will Company so low stoop

A chain of servants, to rub-polish your boots

Forget the flat, Company will a Bungalow give

Half-a-million bucks is too mean, on one you’ll live

Your entire leave, encashed at double the rate

PF and other perks, people would love to hate

A half of company’s annual profit it will reserve

For you though you in fact much more deserve

To top-up, bonus is a tithe of company’s profit

Please tell us, if this fits your profile and outfit

The candidate jumped and said, are you joking

Certainly, but it all begun with your nose poking.
