A lesson

[planedriver]

A young engineer was leaving the office at 5.45 p.m. when he found the

 

Acting CEO standing in front of a shredder with a piece of paper in his

 

hand.

 

 

 

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

 

document, and my secretary is not here. Can you make this thing work?"

 

 

 

"Certainly," said the young engineer. He turned the machine on, inserted

 

the paper, and pressed the start button.

 

 

 

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

 

inside the machine, "I only need one copy."

 

 

Lesson:

 

Never, ever assume that your boss knows what he's doing.
