The new CEO makes his bones.

The Board of Directors of a large corporation felt it was time for a shakeup and hired a new CEO. The new boss was determined to show some authority and rid the company of slackers. On a tour of the facilities, the CEO noticed a guy leaning against a wall. The room was filled with workers and he decided to let them know that he meant business. So he asked the guy, “How much money do you make a week?”

The young man was a little surprised and looked at him and replied, “$400 a week. Why?”

The CEO reached into his pocket, counted out $800 in cash and handed it to him saying, “Here is two weeks' pay. Now GET OUT and don't come back.”

Feeling pretty good about himself, the CEO looked around the room and asked, “Does anyone want to tell me what that goofball did here?”

From across the room a voice yelled, “Pizza delivery guy from Domino's.”
