Do The Management Really Know Their Staff?

Acknowledgement-- I came across the following write up in one of the HRD magazines the other day.Though it did appear a case of exaggeration,I found it an interesting reading worth sharing with others.

Quote---On walking into the factory the MD noticed an young guy leaning against a wall,doing nothing.He approached the young man and asked him calmly "How much do you earn"? The young man was quite amazedthat he was asked such a personal question by someone,whom he did not know but nonetheless replied"I earn two thousand dollars a month,Sir,Why?"Without answering the MD took out his wallet and removed 6000Dollars in cash and gave it to the young man and said"Around here I pay people for working and not for standing around whileling away the time.Here is your three months salary.Now get out and don't come back."The young man turned around and was quickly out of sight.

Noticing a few onlookers the MD said in a very upset manner"And that applies to one and all in the company."He then approached one of the onlookers and asked him "Who is this young man whom I had just fired?"To which an amazing reply he got."He was the Pizza delivery man,Sir."

Dear Reader Howdo you like this even if it be a case of exaggeration?
