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.
