Phil felt employees might be getting a little complacent. He thought a little shake-up was in order and decided it was time to rid the company of any slackers.

He went out into the shop and noticed a guy leaning against a wall doing nothing. There were workmen everywhere and he wanted them to know that he meant business. He asked the guy, "How much money do you make in a week?"

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

Phil walked out to the street, found a nearby ATM, made a withdrawal, came back in two minutes, and handed the guy $1,600 in cash and said, "Here"s four weeks" pay. Now GET OUT and don"t come back."

Phil watched the guy leave and felt pretty good about himself. He looked around the room and asked, "Does anyone want to tell me what that goof-off did here?"

From across the room a voice said, "Pizza delivery guy from Domino"s
 
I've heard that several times, and it's still funny.

I've also liked the adage, "Be nice to the people you pass on the way up. They're the same ones you'll meet on the way back down".
 
Worked as a delivery driver for Dominoes for a while nearly 20 years ago......and I never got a tip like that......
 
FWIW, that is a true story to my understanding. The CEO was Karl Kiekheifer of Mercury Outboards and it was the guy filling the coke machine. One other minor detail, he pulled the cash from his pocket.
 
Actually was kinda funny. I was one of several NCOs that were assigned to evaluate a National Guard unit on the tactical part of their 2 week AT. I was kinda appalled at how informal they were with some of the enlisted people calling some officers by first name. When I ask the commander about that it turned out that he was the civilian employee of one of his enlisted people.
