A man offers a woman $1 million if she'll have sex with him. When she says yes, he then offers a dollar. She responds, "Do you think I'm a whore?" and he answers, "We've established that; now we're just negotiating the price." (George Bernard Shaw)

CEO - The Beginning

Having been recently appointed CEO (big mistake mr. employer), I am starting a new thread of posts relating management cartoons to daily events in this firm.

Last week one of the many million employees under my command had a small surgery in one of his testicles. Apparently he had had some kind of infection, so I told him "dude, don't listen to your hairy bald friends, always wear condoms".

Outrageously, he did not show up the following morning, and I was about to call his house when I was assaulted by a strange and mystical emotion: empathy. I figured "well, maybe he's in pain and I should just let him take the day off". Crazy, I know, but that's exactly how I reacted.

At the end of the day, while I was counting hundred dollar notes in my wallet, I wondered: "Am I getting too sentimental? Am I possibly on the verge of a CEO midlife crisis?". Next time I'll just tell him to get his ass and testicles over here and bear the stupid pain.
