PAY FOR WORK

Book Summary by: rnmorales_07    

Original Author: Dieter Franke
     A veteran supervisor for a building firm was getting more and more irate about building

So on this particular job, he cut a lot of corners, intending by shipshod work to embarrass the owner of the house, as one thing after another would fall apart within a few years... He used rotten wood, cheap paint, wires which were too thin, wrong cement mixtures, rusty waterpipes, and crooked timber.
     About the time the house was finished, this supervisor was just finishing his building career. He was retiring, being pensioned off. So the company had a small celebration for him and told him that as a parting gift of gratitude, it was giving him the keys to the grand mansion which he had just built... 
      KNOW WHAT HAPPEN TO THE NEXT ...
