<p>I had this forwarded to me and I was extremely amused but at the same time I could relate to it. All most every boss I have ever had (either consulting or a permanent gig) always wants to come in and change the world overnight. Let&#8217;s just say with such ambitions come mistakes and here is a really good example of why you should get the facts and think things through before taking action on anything.</p>
<p>Arcelor-Mittal Steel, feeling it was time for a shakeup, hired a new CEO.<br />
The new boss was determined to rid the company of all slackers.</p>
<p>On a tour of the facilities, the CEO noticed a guy leaning against a wall.<br />
The room was full of workers and he wanted to let them know that he meant<br />
business.  He asked the guy, &#8220;How much money do you make a week?&#8221;</p>
<p>A little surprised, the young man looked at him and said, &#8220;I make $400 a<br />
week.. Why?&#8221;</p>
<p>The CEO said, &#8220;Wait right here.&#8221; He walked back to his office, came back in<br />
two minutes, and handed the guy $1,600 in cash and said, &#8220;Here&#8217;s four weeks&#8217;<br />
pay. Now GET OUT and don&#8217;t come back.&#8221;</p>
<p>Feeling pretty good about himself, the CEO looked around the room and asked,<br />
&#8220;Does anyone want to tell me what that goof-ball did here?&#8221;</p>
<p>From across the room a voice said, &#8220;Pizza delivery guy from Domino&#8217;s.&#8221;</p>
