the old ones are always the best. This joke has been passed off as a true story for years - the CEO was Robert Maxwell in the version I first heard. But it dates from the 1920s..... _http://www.snopes.com/embarrass/business/fired.asp_ (http://www.snopes.com/embarrass/business/fired.asp) Mark
>>Ford, feeling it was time for a shake-up, 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 on 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 £200 a week. Why?" The CEO then hands the guy £800 in cash and screams, "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 f****** slacker did here?" >From across the room came a voice: "Pizza delivery guy from Domino's."<< _______________________________________________ the Leeds List is an unmoderated mailing list and the list administrators accept no liability for the personal views and opinions of contributors.
