Thanks Dad

One day the boss called one of his employees into his office.

“Rob,” the boss said, “you’ve been with the company for a year now. You started off in the mailroom, one week later you were promoted to a sales position, one month after that you were promoted to district manager of the sales department, and just four short months later you were promoted to vice-chairman. Now it is time for me to retire and I want you to take over the company. What do you have to say to that?”

Quickly the employee looked at his boss and said, “Thanks.”

“Thanks?” the boss replied, “Thanks?! Is that all you can say?”

The employee looked down sheepishly at the ground and stuttered, “Okay, okay – thanks Dad.”
