The New CEO
Posted: Thu Mar 31, 2005 2:04 pm
An aggressive, young company's Board of Directors, feeling it was time for a shake-up, hires a new CEO. This new boss is determined to rid the company of all slackers. While making a tour of the facilities, the CEO notices a guy leaning against a wall. The room is full of workers and he thinks this is the perfect chance to show everyone he means business!
The CEO, walks up the guy and asks, “And how much money do you make a week?”
Undaunted, the young fellow looks at him and replies, “I make about $200.00 a week. Why?”
The CEO then hands the guy $200 in cash and screams, “Here’s a week’s pay, now GET OUT and don’t come back!” Feeling pretty good about his first firing, the CEO looks around the room and asks, “Does anyone want to tell me what that slacker did here?”
With a sheepish grin, one of the employees mutters, “That was Jimmy, the Pizza delivery guy.”
