A manufacturing plant hired a new foreman. He embarked upon a restructuring program designed to eliminate inefficiencies and increase worker productivity. Seeing a young man leaning against the wall and doing nothing, the foreman figured this is an opportunity for him to show the employees that he means business. He went over to the man and asked him:”How much do you earn each week?” The young man replied “I make $300 per week, why do you ask?” The foreman pulled out three one hundred dollar bills from his wallet, handed them to the young man and said “Here’s a week’s pay. Leave the factory now and don’t let me see you here again.” Feeling proud of his decisiveness, he called out and asked “What did that loafer do here?” With a grin on his face, one of the workers replied “He’s a pizza delivery guy from down the block.”
