Hey guys I met Hem and Haw

Remember the book "Who moved my cheese" and the two characters "Hem" and "Haw".... I think I know them... I see them in office everyday. Everyday Haw comes to office and always feels good for he is controlling so much of marcom budgets (he actually enters the purchase requisitions into the system) and then there is Hem who believes that he controls the entire coverage that happens for the company (He coordinates for news stories and gives it to the PR agency)... Every day they come along and tell people stories about how they moved one file from point A and point B and how they did not let it happen, once in a while... The Irony of them been there is, they have to work together, but they don't trust each other... T are They are worried that the other person will take their cheese away... so every day they come together each morning , they follow each other in each others meeting and at the end of the day they meet their boss to tell tall stories on how they protected their cheese and made attempts to grow it....

I think every company has their own hems and haws and these are the characters who actually are not needed but have to be a part of the furniture of that company... they survive on other person's glory and yet feel important to have done that.... what they don't realize is that they are eating into their cheese everyday without realizing it and one day when the cheese gets stale or over, they will start blaming other people on how the cheese got depleted, because of others mistakes....

long live the king!!!!
