CEO: When you joined the company, you were just an intern.

Within a year, I promoted you from intern to associate, from associate to manager, and from manager to senior manager.

I keep promoting you because I recognized your talent and hard work.

Today, I’ve called you in to tell you that I’m preparing to promote you to vice president.

Do you have anything to say?”

The young man replies, “Thanks.”

CEO: “Thanks? Is that really all you have to say to me?”

After thinking for a while, the young man finally spoke:

“Thanks, Dad.”
