Hi,


A few Managers were given an assignment to measure the height of a
flagpole. So the Managers go out to the flagpole with ladders and tape.
They're falling off the ladders, dropping the tape measures - the whole
thing is just a mess. An Engineer comes along and sees what they're
trying to do, walks over, pulls the flagpole out of the ground, lays it
flat, measures it from end to end, gives the measurement to one of the
managers and walks away. After the Engineer has gone, one manager turns
to another and laughs. "Isn't that just like an engineer! We're looking
for height and he gives the length!"

Moral:
No matter what good you do, Managers can always find fault in you.

Dear Jkbyets!


I am here to say say, the engineers are wrong. By this process, they has demolished one structure.

Second, When the height is to be measured, the pole must be having some of its portion grounded inside the floor. But as they measured whole thing they could given only the length as a whole.

Third, If you want to measure the height of one Building, can they follow the same process?

Regards,
Rahadhus

Hi,

I hope those engineers thought this raw data is enough for those managers.

Since they are not as good as you or may be they are bihari engineers
