From a manager:

Last week you trained a colleague in a skill and it took three days. Now I want you to train two colleagues. Two colleagues can do twice the work of one, and in a team should be even faster. Therefore, you have a single day to train them.

Reminds me of a recent story:

A technology firm discovered that 40% of all sick days were taken on a Friday or a Monday. They immediately clamped down on sick leave before they realised their mistake. Forty per cent represents two days out of a five day working week and therefore is a normal spread, rather than a reflection of swathes of feckless opportunists trying to extend their weekends.

Do you work in a Dilbert cartoon, Judge Mentalist?
