1. Bad news. You've just found out that you have to do a presentation in less than an hour. You're supposed to show how successful the company's latest advertising campaign was. You haven't even talked to the sales department. You don't even know what the campaign was. In fact, you don't even know what product your company makes. Luckily, Fred, a new hire is a whiz. He whipped up a bunch of fancy charts, breaking out the sales figures by a dozen different demographic categories. Not only did he get them done a half hour before you needed them, they're amazing charts! You've never seen anything that beautiful! In fact, the Louvre is on line two, wanting to know if they can have a couple of those charts after your meeting is over. How do you respond?

A. You tell everyone what a great employee Fred is and how they're wasting his talents by keeping in his current position, which is only to stand on the loading dock and sign for packages.

B. First, it goes without saying that you pass off the charts as your own creation. That said, you then fire off a nasty memo to Fred, telling him he's a complete idiot! After all, what the heck was he thinking printing those charts on 25-pound bond paper when EVERYBODY knows he should have used the 20-pound paper, even though you're out of 20-pound paper and it's been on back order for a month!

C. You fire off the nasty memo and you install the new version of Microsoft Windows on his computer system. That ought to slow him down!
