Every day a small ant would arrive at work and start work immediately. He produced a lot and was very, very happy. 
His boss, a lion, was surprised to see that the ant was working without supervision.
He thought if the ant can produce so much without supervision.
Wouldn't he produce even more if he had a supervisor.
So he recruited a cockroach who had extensive experience as a supervisor and who was renowned for writing excellent reports.
The cockroach's first decision was to install a time clock and monitor the ant's attendance.
He then hired a lady bug to help him write and type his reports. He also hired a spider to manage the archives and monitor all phone calls.
The lion was delighted with the cockroach's reports and asked him to produce graphs to illustrate production rates and to analyze trends, so that he could use them for presentations at the board meetings.
So the cockroach had to buy a new computer and printer and then hired a fly to manage the IT Department.
The ant, who had once been so productive and relaxed. Hated this new workload of paperwork and meetings which used up most of his time.
The lion decided that it was high time to appoint someone to supervise the department in which the ant worked.
The position was given to a stink bug. Whose first decision was to renovate his office with ergonomic furniture and new carpeting.
The new person in charge, the stink bug, also needed a new computer and a personal assistant, who he brought from his previous department. To help him prepare a 'Work and Budget Control Strategic Optimization Plan.
The department where the ant works has now become a sad place, where no one laughs anymore and everyone has become upset.
It was at this time that the stink bug convinced the boss, the lion, of the absolute necessity to start a climatic study of the work environment.
After reviewing the charges for running the ant's department. The lion found out that the production was much less than before. 
So he hired an owl, a prestigious and renowned consultant to conduct an audit and suggest solutions.
The owl spent three months in the department and compiled a lengthy report in several volumes, that concluded:
The department is over staffed!
Guess who the lion fired first??

The ant, of course, because he "showed lack of motivation and had a negative attitude!"
