상사가한부하를 불러서...

[번역 : 일수거인 070301]

회장이 한 부하를 사무실로 불러놓고말했다, "밥, 자네가 입사한지 1 년이 됐구만. 자넨 우편물 정리하는 일로부터 시작해서, 일 주일 후엔 판매부로 영전하였고, 거기서 한 달만에 영업담당 지사장으로 승진하였고, 또 불과 4 개월 후에, 자네는 부회장이 되었어. 이제 내가 은퇴할 시기가 되었으니, 자네가 회사를 맡아주면 좋겠는데, 그에 대한 자네 생각은 어떤가?"

"고마워요," 부하가 말했다.

"고마워요라니?" 회장이 대답했다, "할 말이라는 게고작 그것 뿐이야?"

"제 대답이 너무 짧았나 보군요," 부하가 말했다, "고마워요, 아빠."

The boss called an employee into the office...

The boss called one of his employees into the office. "Bob," he said, "You've been with the company for a year. You started off in the post room, one week later you were promoted to a sales position, and one month after that you were promoted to district manager of the sales department. Just four short months later, you were promoted to vice-chairman. Now it's time for me to retire, and I want you to take over the company. What do you say to that?"

"Thanks," said the employee.

"Thanks?" the boss replied. "Is that all you can say?"

"I suppose not," the employee said. "Thanks, Dad."
