Four cannibals apply for a job in a big corporation…

'Well, says the boss, 'If I hire you guys, you have to promise not to eat any of our staff.'
The cannibals promise that they will not eat anyone and get hired.
Everything is going well for a while, and one day the boss calls them into his office.
“You’re working well and all, but we’re missing an office cleaner. Do you have something to do with that?”
The cannibals swear that they are innocent.
The boss believes them and leaves the office, and they all turn to their leader.
“You idiots!” he screams. “Who ate the cleaner?”
One of the cannibals sheepishly raises his hand.
“You fool!” shouts the leader.
"For weeks we've been feasting on directors, team leaders, project managers and human resource staff, and then you go and eat someone they'll actually miss!"

Terrible refs
RyoanJi@reddit
Why are there four of them? Looks like two would be sufficient.
Taviii@reddit
You need at least three for joke, in its current format, to work.

In the Soviet Union, it was told about lions released in a research institute so that the personnel won't be wandering in the corridors during working hours.

Oh I love this one!

I would notice pretty quickly if I wasn't being bothered by my director. It would be kind of nice, but after a couple days I would definitely get suspicious.
mougrim@reddit (OP)
Ah, but would you complain about it?

Glad to see this one revisited.
I had heard it as a secretary that got eaten and been feasting on middle management without anyone noticing.
Githyerazi@reddit
Middle management will be missed due to upper management not getting their reports. Upper management will not be missed for a long time.
WhatsHisNameHuh@reddit
Upper management will be missed by accounting when their bonus checks are not cashed, causing a huge cash surplus.
Embarrassed-Ad-723@reddit
Just eat upper management first, then noone will notice.

Did you remember to put the cover sheet on the TPS report? There was a memo.

Mmmm kay
EJoule@reddit
Finally ate someone that was working there

I'd upgrade the "Everything is going well for a while" for an additional setup for the punchline, "Since we hired you productivity has been skyrocketing, but..."

Cannibal: Boss was some tough arsehole.

In India, It was the guy who serves chai to everyone.
MrCrazyPussy@reddit
Lol, he will be the first one to be missed

We just passed the office cleaner in the hallway.
msfs1310@reddit
Couldn’t make it to the bathroom in time huh?
Dr-Chibi@reddit
Ewwwww! Go clean that up!

The first time I heard this it was a secretary...

Alternative punchline: "... and you go and eat the one person actually doing meaningful work!"
Thin-Walrus-1512@reddit
Like the one in the post more. Seems like a more natural response in the situation - your criteria in eating people wouldn't be "meaningless work" but "would be missed".
Independent_Bite4682@reddit
Yeah, that is the ending I remember too
