The new boss was determined to rid the company of all slackers. On a tour of the facilities, the CEO noticed a guy leaning against a wall. The room was full of workers, and he wanted to let them know that he meant business. He asked the guy, “How much money do you make a week?” A little surprised, the young man looked at him and said, “I make $500 a week. Why?” The CEO said, “Wait right here.” He walked back to his office, came back in two minutes, handed the guy $2,000 in cash, and said, “Here’s four week’s pay. Now GET OUT and don’t come back.” Feeling pretty good about himself, the CEO looked around the room and asked, “Does anyone want to tell me what that goofball did here?” From across the room a voice said, “Pizza delivery guy!” ••••• A firm’s head accountant wanted to check the newly employed graduate’s calculation skills.
