Have you
ever worked for a boss who reacts before getting the facts and thinking things
through?
Arcelor-Mittal Steel, feeling it was time for a shakeup, hired a new CEO. 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 in one
of the workshops. 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 $400 a week.
Why?"
The CEO said, "Wait right here." He walked back to his office, came back 2
minutes later and handed the guy $1,600 in cash and said, "Here's four weeks'
pay. Now GET OUT and don't come back."
Feeling pretty good about himself, the CEO waited till the guy had left and then
looked around the workshop and asked, "Does anyone want to tell me what that
goof-ball did here?"
From across the room a voice said, "He's the pizza delivery guy from Dominos."
