Teamwork story: What to do with the lazy member of the team?

One day at a team meeting it occurred to some of the members of the Body that they were doing all of the work while the Belly got all of the food. They believed the Belly was the most unproductive and lazy member of the body.

At the end of the meeting, they unanimously decided that they would hold another meeting that evening to discuss how unfair this seemed. After what was a very long meeting that night it was voted on that The Members of the Body would go on strike until the Belly agreed to take its proper share of the work.

The unhappy body parts didn’t do anything for several days in an attempt to stop feeding the Belly. After some time the Legs stopped walking, and then the hands stopped moving and finally, the Teeth stopped chewing.

As a result of this inactivity and the starving of the Belly, the Legs became more and more tired, the Hands could hardly move anymore and the Mouth became parched and very dry.

Eventually, the entire Body collapsed and passed away as the Belly completely starved and couldn’t do its job which until then no one understood how important it actually was.
