    A well known company was performing at a mediocre level and its stock was
    slowly sinking so the Board decided it was time for a shakeup. They hired a
    tough new CEO who would knock a few heads and get the company's profitability
    momentum going again. The new boss began his first morning walking around
    the headquarters building with the intention of slashing any low-productive
    workforce jobs he could find.

    As he toured the facilities he noticed a guy leaning against a wall counting
    some money from his pocket. The room was full of workers and he thought this
    would be an ideal opportunity to show everyone he was tough and he meant
    business! So he walked up to the guy and asked, "And how much money do you
    make a week ?"

    Undaunted, the teenager looks at him and replied, "I make about $200.00 a
    week. Why?"

    The CEO reached into his pocket, pulled out four $100 bills, handed them to
    the guy and yelled, "Here's two week's pay, now GET OUT OF HERE and don't
    come back!"

    Feeling pretty macho about his first public firing, the CEO looked around the
    room and asked, "Can anyone tell me what that slacker did here?"

    With a shy look, one of the secretaries quietly muttered, "He's the pizza
    delivery guy."
