A Management Lesson...
A big steel company was feeling it was time for a shakeup so they hired a new Operations Manager. The new boss was determined to rid the company of all slackers and on a tour of the facilities, he noticed a guy leaning against a wall. The room was full of workers and he wanted to let them know that he meant business; so 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 new Boss said "Wait right here."
He walked back to his office, returning two minutes later and handed the guy £2,000 in cash and said, "Here's four weeks' pay. Now GET OUT and don't come back."
Feeling pretty good about himself; the new boss looked around the room and asked, "Does anyone want to tell me what that slacker did here?"...
... And from across the room a voice said, "He was a Pizza delivery guy from Domino's!!"
