Out in the middle of a desert, the government owned an abandoned junkyard that nobody ever visited.
Someone in the capital suddenly panicked and said, “What if somebody steals from it at night?”
So they hired a night guard to watch over… the sand and rusty scrap.
A week later, another official asked, “But how will the guard know what to do?”
That created a brand-new Planning Office—one person to draft procedures, another to run “efficiency assessments.”
Soon after, someone else asked, “How do we know the guard is actually doing the job?”
Easy: create a Quality Oversight Unit. Two more hires—one to evaluate performance and another to file thick reports no one would ever read.
Then a new problem popped up: “Who’s paying all these people?”
Payroll Department to the rescue—one timekeeper, one accountant.
And of course, with all these new employees, someone wondered, “Who’s managing the whole operation?”
Boom—Administrative Division. An administrator, an assistant administrator, and a legal secretary.
A year later, the budget review landed on someone’s desk.
They were $18,000 over.
Their solution? Fire the night watchman.
