Once upon a time in a company of over 10,000 employees, there was a CEO who had an interesting journey to the top. This CEO, let's call him Jack, was the founder's son, but his father had a unique way of grooming him for the role. Jack had to start from the most basic jobs and work his way up, just like any other new hire. It was a brilliant strategy to ensure he gained a comprehensive understanding of the company and the different departments.
Now, Jack was not a bad guy to work for. In fact, he had earned the respect of his employees by going through the same challenges they faced and proving his competence. But little did they know that one late night shift would unleash a hilarious and unexpected adventure.
It was a quiet evening, and our protagonist, an employee working overtime, received an unexpected call. A slightly slurred voice came through the line, asking for an electrician. Confused, our employee inquired about the caller's identity, and to their surprise, it was none other than Jack, the CEO himself.
Jack had a peculiar request—he wanted someone to come to his house, which was an hour away, to fix his internet connection. It seemed like an odd situation, but our protagonist, fueled by boredom, decided to volunteer for this impromptu mission.
Arriving at Jack's house, our employee encountered a scene straight out of a comedy movie. The entry gate was smashed, a section of white horse fencing was missing, and there, in the field, sat a Jaguar, stuck and helpless. Clearly, Jack had embarked on some misadventure while under the influence.
As they entered the house, our employee noticed a significant cut on Jack's hairline. Concerned, they asked if he was okay. In a drunken state, Jack responded, completely unfazed by his injury. With blood caked on his face, he claimed he was fine and didn't understand why anyone would be worried.
Playing the role of a makeshift nurse, our employee accompanied Jack to the bathroom. They helped him clean up, washed off the gash, and applied some bandages. Who knew that fixing the CEO's internet would also involve providing impromptu first aid?
With Jack patched up and the internet issue resolved (a simple unplug-plug maneuver), it was time to bid adieu. But before our employee could leave, Jack insisted on doing a shot together. Sensing the potential risks to their job, our employee hesitated, suggesting it might not be the best idea. Surprisingly, Jack agreed, handing them a bottle and advising them to take it home for a shot later.
Eager to know the value of their unexpected gift, our employee researched the bottle of scotch and discovered it was worth a staggering $1500. This encounter was turning out to be more surreal than they could have ever imagined!
The next day, as the sun rose on the office, our employee arrived early. Around 11 am, Jack strolled up to them, clearly a bit nervous. With a hint of anticipation, he asked, "Uh... we're not going to be... talking about last night, right?" Sensing the CEO's apprehension, our employee reassured him that everything was perfectly fine. Jack let out a sigh of relief, exclaiming, "Awesome!"
Just when they thought the adventure had come to an end, our employee found an envelope waiting for them. To their astonishment, it contained a check labeled "Emergency Tech Support" for a whopping $5,000. It seemed that Jack wanted to express his gratitude in a way that only he could—through unexpected generosity.
