Jumping to Conclusions
Story★★★★The owner of a large warehouse was concerned about his profit margin, and he decided to make an on site inspection. He saw a young man leaning against the wall, not working. He asked the young man how much he made per week and his reply was $320.00. The owner reached into his pocket, pulled out $320.00 and handed it to the young man and told him “you can leave, we don’t need you around here anymore.” When the supervisor arrived the owner asked him how long the young man had been working for them. The supervisor replied,” He doesn’t work for us; he was making a delivery.” Moral of the story: Don’t jump to conclusions.
