THE NEW CEO WANTED TO PROVE HE WAS TOUGH\u2014SO ON HIS FIRST TOUR, HE FIRED A MAN WHO WAS LEANING AGAINST A WALL IN FRONT OF EVERYONE.<\/p>\n
Determined to get rid of \u201cslackers,\u201d the CEO walked up to the young man and asked, \u201cHow much money do you make?\u201d<\/p>\n
The confused employee replied, \u201cAbout $400 a week. Why?\u201d<\/p>\n
The CEO smirked, marched back to his office, returned with $1,600 in cash, and shoved it into the man\u2019s hands.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s four weeks\u2019 pay. Now get out\u2014and don\u2019t come back!\u201d<\/p>\n
The employee took the money and walked away without saying a word.<\/p>\n
Feeling proud of himself, the CEO turned to the workers.<\/p>\n
\u201cDoes anyone want to tell me what that lazy guy\u2019s job was?\u201d<\/p>\n
The room went completely silent.<\/p>\n
Finally, one worker cleared his throat.<\/p>\n
\u201cSir\u2026 he wasn\u2019t an employee.\u201d<\/p>\n
The CEO frowned.<\/p>\n
\u201cThen who was he?\u201d<\/p>\n
The worker pointed toward the loading dock.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe was the pizza delivery guy.\u201d<\/p>\n
The entire room burst into laughter.<\/p>\n
The CEO\u2019s face turned bright red.<\/p>\n
He had just paid a complete stranger $1,600 to leave the building.<\/p>\n
But the embarrassment didn\u2019t end there.<\/p>\n
A few minutes later, the CEO\u2019s assistant walked into his office holding a receipt.<\/p>\n
\u201cSir, there\u2019s one more problem.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat now?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe pizza was for the board meeting.\u201d<\/p>\n
The CEO looked at the receipt.<\/p>\n
The order had been placed for thirty people.<\/p>\n
And the pizza delivery man had taken the entire order with him.<\/p>\n
The CEO sat silently behind his desk.<\/p>\n
Then he looked at his assistant and asked, \u201cCan we call him back?\u201d<\/p>\n
The assistant shook his head.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe already left.\u201d<\/p>\n
The CEO sighed.<\/p>\n
\u201cFine. Order another pizza.\u201d<\/p>\n
The assistant hesitated.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith what money?\u201d<\/p>\n
The CEO stared at him.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe company card.\u201d<\/p>\n
The assistant smiled.<\/p>\n
\u201cSir\u2026 you fired the person who had the company card.\u201d<\/p>\n
The room went silent again.<\/p>\n
The CEO finally realized the lesson: You should never judge someone’s job\u2014or their value\u2014just because you don’t understand what they’re doing.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" THE NEW CEO WANTED TO PROVE HE WAS TOUGH\u2014SO ON HIS FIRST TOUR, HE FIRED A MAN WHO WAS LEANING AGAINST A WALL IN FRONT OF EVERYONE.
