“The CEO of the company I worked for was the founder’s son. Not an unintelligent guy for the most part. His dad made him start with the most basic jobs in the company and work his way through the different departments. Managerial staff was ordered, upon penalty of termination, not to treat him any differently than a new hire. So when he became CEO, he wasn’t a bad guy to work for. This company has over 10,000 employees. One night, I’m working overtime on the late shift, and we get this call. ‘Hey! You guys…got…’lectrician?’ The guy was clearly drunk — we had no idea who he was or why he was calling our maintenance/engineering group. We asked who he was, and he informed us lightly. He wanted someone to take a ride to his house and figure out why the internet wasn’t working. This is an hour’s drive away.”
“I volunteered, as I was bored out of my mind anyway. I arrive at the house, and the entry gate is smashed, a section of the white horse fencing is missing, and the Jaguar is stuck in the field.
Here in the house is the dude, completely blasted. He’s got a huge cut on his hairline. I asked, ‘Are you ok, boss?’ ‘I’m fine! Why?’ he asked, blood literally caked on his face.
I accompanied him to the bathroom and helped him clean himself up, wash off the gash, and put some bandaging on it. Then I corrected the Internet. Unplug-plug.
As I was walking out, he asked me to do a shot with him. I comment, worried about my job, that it might be a bad idea. He agreed and handed me the bottle: ‘Take it home and do a shot later. Keep it.’
When I got back to work, I looked the stuff up because I had never heard of it. It was apparently a $1,500 bottle of scotch.
The next day, I’m at work early. About eleven in the morning, he came walking up to me and said, ‘Uh…we’re not going to be talking about last night, right?’ I told him it’s all good. A little bit later, I got an envelope. A $5,000 check was attached for ‘Emergency Tech Support.'”
