A Lesson To Learn

[jayenram]

CEO standing in front of a shredder with a piece of paper in his hand.

"Listen," said the CEO, "this is a very sensitive and important

document, and my secretary has left. Can you make this thing work?"

"Certainly," said the young executive. He turned the machine on,

inserted the paper, and pressed the start button.

"Excellent, excellent!" said the CEO as his paper disappeared inside

the shredder machine. "I just need one copy."

Lesson - Never, never assume that your BOSS knows everything.

Tell the boss the machine just turned his copy into 100 elongated copies... He'll just walk away smiling

If he looks worried, tell him it takes a while for the copy to come out and that what is coming out now is for today's ticker tape parade!

Could not have been Enron. They had only shredders, no photocopy machines and EVERYBODY knew how to use them,...

Must have been Arthur Andersen then Doesn’t the story go: an Arthur Andersen partner comes back to his office and says to his manager, "Did you get my message where I said, 'Ship the Enron documents to the Feds'?"

The manager goes white and says, "Oh My God! I thought you said ‘rip the Enron documents to shreds’.”
