Let's drive the truck

There was a smart ass. Who spoke to some people and got a nice deal of transporting their gold loaded truck to a certain location. Now, the smart ass, is very happy coz he got a contract that looks so intelligent from outside (well, that's what he thinks...) doesn't matter he has no idea how to drive the truck. He hires two people; one guy who can start the truck, one guy who can drive the truck. He doesnt disclose the secret that the truck is loaded with gold. The only thing both the guys are told is; YOU HAVE TO MOVE THIS TRUCK FROM PLACE ONE TO PLACE TWO. Now, the smart ass hires a huge number of people so that he can fool the actual truck owner that driving the truck is pretty complex task. So the truck owner pays a lot looot more than required amount.

Now, the guy who knows how to drive the truck, secretly knows how to start the truck. He goes to the smart ass and suggests that the other guy, who knows how to start the truck is not required. The smart ass thinks that this guy already knows how to start the truck and how to drive the truck is very risky for his top position, coz once the truck will reach the destination, next time he'll know everything, where to go, how to go ! so he puts the other guy (who knows how to start the truck) on top of him. The other guy (who knows how to start the truck) is already frustrated coz he doesnt know how to drive the truck, neither he knows where to go. However, the smart ass shares the destination with this guy so that he can influence him to keep fighting with the skilled-most driver. Thus, he secures his top level position.

Now, The truck has started. The guy who started the truck is no more required. He's just a burden on the truck. but, he islolates smart ass from the driver. Lot of people who were hired earlier have embarked the truck and they're added burden on the truck. They have no idea what is there in the truck, they have no idea who is driving the truck, they have no idea where the hell the truck is going. They are just enjoying the ride, and feeling happy about getting paid. Infact, they have crowded the truck so much that nobody is able to see who's driving the truck and who's sitting idle.

After a while, truck reaches the destination. Smart ass sends a command to driver to stop the truck and he jumps out. The guy who knows how to start the truck joins him blindly as he was already told by the smart ass that this is our destination. The people on the truck, who were nothing but a burden, jumps from the truck coz the smart ass and his followers just did. The guy, who was driving the truck all the while, is confused why the hell truck is stopped here. He places the truck safely aside and comes out from the truck in last. But by the time, the crdit of bringing the truck to the place two safely, is already given to the smart ass and other ppl coz they were the first ones to be seen from outside.

Now there comes the payment time. The smart ass starts distributing the cash among the group. The guy who knows how to start the truck is paid highest amount coz he know very very important function (okay, that was on paper, actually he was paid maximum coz he always took smart ass's side and he kept his secrets.) Rest of the people, including the driver are paid the same amount. The driver claims that he did all the work, and he knows all the functions (how to start the truck, how to drive the truck) so he should paid almost equal to the same guy. The smart ass moves him away by saying that he is supposed to drive the truck. He doesnt need to bother about how to start the truck, coz that knowledge is not expected from him. Neither he was the first one to fall in actual receiver's feet.

Our frustrated skilled driver furiously runs away from this truck transport agency when he comes to know that all the time, he was bringing nothing but gold. and all he got paid is just a bloody truck driver's salary.

He goes to another truck driving agency and this time, he plays safe. before, taking the contract of driving the truck, he puts two conditions. (1) he'll start the truck and he'll drive the truck. (2) the agency will have to let him know wat's there in the truck, according to that, he'll charge for the driving job. The agency let's him take care of everything. They told him the destination, they told them there is gold in the truck. they paid him according to gold. When he reached the destination with truck, the actual receivers of the truck laughed at him, coz he was paid the gold amount but actually there were diamonds in the truck !!!

So our driver is saturated with frustration now and he decides not to drive the truck anymore. He opens his own truck driving agency and decides to play the smart ass from now on.

This is exactly the way IT industry works !
