Topic: The new CEO

[nickjtc]

Corporate  Shakeup..........If you've ever worked for a boss who reacts before getting the facts and thinking things through, you will love this!
 
The board of 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. The room was full of workers and he wanted to let them know that he meant business. He walked up  to the guy leaning against the wall and asked, 'How much money do you make a week?'

A little surprised, the young man looked at him and replied, 'I make $400 a week.  Why?'

The CEO then handed the guy $1,600 in cash and screamed, 'Here's four weeks 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 goof-ball did here? '

From across the room came a voice, 'Pizza delivery guy from Domino's.'

Wellll, okay.  Back when computer first his the scene a couple of my coworkers started a small computer company.  They got pretty good at programming, and in fact sold a bookkeeping program to a local company.  They also sold supplies.  Disks, paper, ink ribbons (remember those?), etc. 

Our supervisor gave them some business and bought our 5 1/2 disks from them.  They charged $3.00 each for those.  One day at a staff meeting the boss came in all puffed up.  He stood at the head of the table and point at these two and said, "You two have been ripping us off.  You charge three dollars each for those disks.  I found out we can get a box of five of them for only fifteen dollars downtown!"

Dead silence for just a few seconds, then suppressed laughter.  Finally one of the braver souls said, "Uh, Bob, divide 15 by 5."

Bob (name changed to protect the innocent) looked blank for a few moments, then cleared his throat and went on to the first item of our meeting amid non-suppressed laughter.
