The classic adage is: A CEO walks around the office floor and notices how wonderfully clean the place is. This CEO is all about efficiency, so he trots into his office and phones up the CFO. He asks how much is spent on cleaning, suprised at the cost decimates the cleaning budget.

In a brief email to the board, boasting of another hard day's work making the company leaner and faster he says: "The office is already squeaky clean, why would we need cleaners?"

Yeah, there's a common sysadmin joke about how if the CEO knows you exist, you aren't doing your job.

Sorry, accidental down vote on phone.
