An employee asked me if he can WORK from HOME permanently. Here is what I told him:

"Bob, you drive an excavator, are you out of your mind?"

[–] Tryptaminev@lemm.ee 32 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Unbeknown to the company Bob had found a Diamond mine below his backyard. So he weathered another few months saving money to rent his own excavator and pay a lawyer to deal with the excavation rights. Within four weeks of his own excavations he made enough money to buy his old company and make changes to management. When he let go of his former boss he said:

"All i wanted you to do is listen to me for ten minutes and let me see my kids in the morning before heading to work so early."

The CEO: Well jeez, Bob, I wish you'd been more forceful, then I would have fired you and bought the property when you defaulted.

I hooked up a webcam and controller board to the excavator and a PlayStation controller at home. How about now?

Bob, you give submarine tours to the rich. Are you out of your mind?

[–] Colonel_Panic_@lemm.ee 6 points 4 months ago

Quite sane. My tours cost 10 million each. But I'll only use a little to buy ~~replacement~~ additional subs. The rest goes to food and homeless programs.

Ok, who wants tickets?
