Daniel 1:1-21

Danny's New Job

In the 3rd fiscal year under the management of Israel Inc. CEO Jehoiakim, Nebuchadnezzar, rival CEO of Babylon, came to the Jerusalem HQ and bought it out. The Lord had fired Jehoiakim from his management position and all the sacred assets of the company got taken over. Nebu now controlled both businesses including the sacred assets that were now under Nebu's business plan.

Nebu then tasked Ashpenaz, HR of Babylon, to take inventory of the employees of Israel Inc. He was to find their top value workers and train them up for management positions. These employees would be quick on their feet, business saavy and real charmers on the sales floor. Ash was to teach the Babylonian business model to these top employees.  On top of that, the CEO would allow these men to sit in on the management meetings that were held in an exotic gentleman's club. These meetings are where management was trained to be future leaders of the business.

Israel Inc's top men were Danny, Hana, Mish and Aza. The first day of work they got new name tags that tested better in Babylon. Danny become Belter, Hana became Shady, Mish became Meshack and Aza became Abe.

But the one thing Danny was not going to stand for was the monthly management meetings at the exotic club of defilement. He marched to HR and explained that he and his crew would not be partaking in these events. HR carefully explained that these events were crucial to climbing the corporate ladder. Those who failed to rise were fired. But God was not about to lose his most faithful employees to defilement so he put HR on Danny's side. Danny compromised with HR and said, "Me and my work mates can sit in the office and read the business manuals while this is going on." HR tried to reason with Danny that the manuals were boring and dry, but Danny seemed confident that this would work.

Danny, Hana, Aza and Mish went to their Sales Supervisor and explained that they would be missing ten meetings at the exotic night club. They would instead be reading manuals in the office. He explained it like this to the supervisor, "If we don't have equal or better sales metrics on the floor than we will gladly join you at the meetings. Just let us have ten meetings in the office." The Supervisor gave the green light and Danny tried his new tactic.

By the end of the fiscal year, Danny and his sales team were in the top five. They had the highest conversion rates and customer satisfaction. Their methods were so inspiring that the Supervisor put the rest of the Sales team under Danny's method.

Danny and his fellow co-workers continued to be promoted by God. They had amazing work ethic, understanding of customer needs and the winning spirit for sales. God even gave Danny the gift of interpreting the business world. He could see the future of Babylon Inc.

When it came time to evaluate the employees, the Supervisor had no problem presenting Danny and his team. Their numbers and work ethic were beyond every sales team in the company. Nebu found them to be way more qualified than all the middle management, analysts and accountants he had working for him.

Danny remained in the company even after Nebu passed CEO to his understudy, Cyrus.
