Director Hired A Deaf Girl For A Laugh… Office Shuddered When Video Surveillance Was Installed…

The Miserly Director

Mr. Smith became director recently, but he immediately decided to change the office’s charter. First, he revised the salary fund, bypassing his rate. Being a miser, he reduced the salary of almost all the staff.

Many people almost the same day wrote a letter of resignation. Those who remained wanted to escape from there and continue to endure the antics of the new director only due to circumstances.

The biggest problem was finding cleaners. No one wanted to go wash the floors and rub the door handles to a shine all day for a meagre salary; it was the mania of the new boss. Mrs. Harris, deputy personnel officer, urged the director to add some money to the cleaning lady’s salary almost every day.

After all, they will never find employees for such a salary. But every morning at the meeting, Mr. Smith only said angrily that the office was already full of dirt and dust.

He almost yelled at Mrs. Harris, “If you don’t find a cleaning lady soon, I’ll make cleaning up your job.”

The woman herself was ready to run anywhere from this monster of savings, but she perfectly understood that it was not so easy to find a job at her age. So every time, she silently listened to his unreasonable reproaches and demands.

A Desperate Search

At the next morning meeting, he once again expressed his dissatisfaction with the work of his deputy because the cleaners were never found.

Mr. Smith said angrily as he approached the window, “Is it really that hard for you to find a cleaner lady? After all, there are a lot of people who want to work in a stable company.”

At some point, he silently froze and began to look at something in the distance. A very sparsely dressed woman was neatly stacking cardboard boxes by the trash cans.

He said, smiling slyly and turning towards his deputy, “Are you saying that no one is coming to your ads and advertisements are not helping you? See how it’s supposed to be done.”

He opened the window wide and leaned half a length out of it.

Mr. Smith called out, “Hey, poor thing, come to my place for a minute. Maybe I can help you.”

But the girl didn’t stop her work even for a second and continued to fold the cardboard. The boss was surprised but was not going to back down; there was even some excitement in his eyes. He turned to Mrs. Harris, winked at her, and called the guard.

He said to the guy in the uniform as soon as he appeared, “Bring this miserable woman here no matter what it cost you.”

The Unexpected Hire

When the girl entered the office, he realized that she was completely deaf. She had a hearing aid, but apparently, it was not quite serviceable or from very cheap options. The beggar girl was about 30 years old.

Surprisingly, she turned out to be a very neat girl. Her hands were clean, as were her clothes and hair. The lack of makeup made her face look younger. Her hair was neatly combed and tied into a bun.

Her clothes were old but clean. True, it was not an agent’s size, but at least without the smell inherent in homeless people.

The director apparently remembered that the deaf can read lips, so he began to explain very slowly, pronouncing each sound, “Do you want to get paid? You will clean the office.”

The girl stood silently for a couple of minutes, looking at the office and those present. She then silently nodded in agreement. This gesture seemed to lift the director to the Olympus of victory.

He turned proudly to Mrs. Harris, who was quietly watching what was happening, “Is it impossible to find a cleaning lady? Maybe you have forgotten how to select staff? Here’s a lesson for you. This beggar girl would agree for less pay. By the way, until I told her her salary, think I can reduce it.”

But when he saw the insane look of his deputy, he apparently realized that even this cleaning lady would run away for even less money, and he didn’t continue to promote this topic.
