How much salary are you worth?

This is one of the weirdest recruitment process that I have ever heard.

20 candidates who applied for a position in a company were all led into a big hall with a huge wall of bricks in the center of the hall. Everyone was puzzled by the sight when the interviewer announced, "Now we shall begin with the interview."

Every one of the candidates was baffled. What, 20 candidates being interviewed all at once? They were then each handed a sack. The interviewer continued, "There are now 10,000 bricks in front of you. Each brick you take will be $1,000. Your monthly salary will depend on how many bricks you take. If you take 5 bricks,  you will draw a salary of $5,000 per month. However, you only have 2 minutes to decide and take how many bricks that you want and put inside your sack. Your 2 minutes starts now." And the timer countdown began.

What the? Everyone was dumbfounded and looked at one another. No one moved for a second, as their brain struggled to process the ridiculous information that had just been passed to them. "1 min and 50 seconds left", announced the interviewer. Gradually, some of them started rushing towards the bricks and tried putting in as many bricks as they could. The rest soon followed suit and soon everyone began filling up their sack furiously.

A wide smile spread across the interviewer's face. Soon the 2 minutes ran out. The interviewer asked, " So have you all taken the number of bricks (amount of salary) that you want?" He was greeted with nods and some mumbles. "Good. Now, carry the sack that you have filled with bricks up to the rooftop in 5 minutes. Those who reach the rooftop in time will be hired and given the salary based on the number of bricks you have."

Sacks of bricks dropped onto the floor. Jaws dropped. Some slumped onto the floor with disbelief.

The more you are paid, the more responsibility you have to shoulder. So, increase in salary, anyone?
