Ceo corporate shake-upeo

CORPORATE SHAKE-UP









If you've ever worked for a boss


who reacts before getting



the facts and thinking things through,


you will love this!








Arcelor-Mittal Steel, feeling it was time for a shakeup,



hired a new CEO CORPORATE SHAKE-UPEO.








The new boss was determined to rid the company of all



slackers.







On a tour of the facilities, the CEO noticed a guy


leaning against a wall. The room was full of workers and he


wanted to let them know that he meant business. 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 $400 a week. Why?"






The CEO said, "Wait right here." He walked back to his


office, 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."






Feeling pretty good about himself, the CEO looked around the


room and asked, "Does anyone want to tell me what that


goof-ball did here?"






From across the room a voice said,






"Pizza delivery guy from Domino's."

In the same vein. Decades ago I worked for what used to be a well known Wall Street Investment bank (one of three over the years, in fact). In NY a new head had been appointed to run the international division. His name was "Lazor" and he soon came to be known as the "Razor". London, Paris and many other European offices fell under his authority. In a whistle-stop tour of his new domain, he lined up everyone in the Paris office and sacked them, telling them that, henceforward, their work would be handled by the soon to be beefed up London office. Content with himself he returned to New York, a hero in his own mind. When he arrived in the office a French lawsuit awaited him for a million dollars. It was contrary to French law to sack an employee (let alone all of them) without very good cause. There was no defence and the Paris office survived intact.

The last time I saw him in NY I was in the company of a colleague who told me that on clear days one could see right through the Razor and out the window behind him. He had been given notice of his termination of employment by the Board and was literally fading from sight.

A salutary story, I think.
