There's a lady called 119 00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:05,280 Speaker 2: Lawrence van Wassenhove. She's a frenchwoman trained as an HR specialist, 120 00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:08,960 Speaker 2: s ripe now. She spent over twenty years on the 121 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:14,720 Speaker 2: payroll of telecom giant Orange without being assigned any work, 122 00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:16,200 Speaker 2: full pay. 123 00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,920 Speaker 1: Twenty years, did no work right. 124 00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:25,120 Speaker 2: They reassigned her early on due to some epilepsy issues, 125 00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:28,360 Speaker 2: so trying to look after it right, she eventually found 126 00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:35,000 Speaker 2: herself isolated but paid full salary, with no tasks, no colleagues, 127 00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:39,080 Speaker 2: and she said, no sense of purpose right. She described 128 00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:42,840 Speaker 2: it not as a privilege, but a silent nightmare that 129 00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:48,760 Speaker 2: then led to severe depression. So I work. I'd love 130 00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:51,640 Speaker 2: to work for twenty years and get paid to do 131 00:07:51,720 --> 00:08:00,400 Speaker 2: nothing right. Van Wassenhoven sued Orange for forced inactivity and 132 00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:06,440 Speaker 2: workplace discrimination, arguing that being paid and ignored is far 133 00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:10,560 Speaker 2: from a dream scenario. The case highlights how critical engagement, 134 00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:14,880 Speaker 2: respect and meaningful roles to workers well being, even with 135 00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:18,200 Speaker 2: the paycheck coming, is very, very important. So this bird 136 00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:21,640 Speaker 2: is taking the absolute piss. She's paid for twenty years 137 00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:24,120 Speaker 2: to do fucking enough, and then she turns around and 138 00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:26,080 Speaker 2: sues them. Anyway, What a world? 139 00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:29,120 Speaker 1: What a world? Now? Tell us what you think about this? 140 00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:32,720 Speaker 2: All right? Because I think it's completely fair from this bloke. 141 00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:37,520 Speaker 2: A woman back in twenty twenty one made headlines after 142 00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:41,920 Speaker 2: bringing twenty three of her family members along to what 143 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:44,960 Speaker 2: was supposed to be a simple blind date. So she's 144 00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:47,000 Speaker 2: a blind date with this guy. He thinks he's going 145 00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:48,720 Speaker 2: for dinner just the two of them to get to 146 00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:52,080 Speaker 2: know each other, and she decides to invite her whole family. 147 00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:57,520 Speaker 2: The dinner bill skyrocket skyrocket to a staggering three one 148 00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:01,920 Speaker 2: hundred dollars when the check arrived, expected her dates to 149 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,439 Speaker 2: cover the entire bill, even though he thought he was 150 00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:07,440 Speaker 2: only going out with her, and she's brought twenty three 151 00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:11,600 Speaker 2: of her family members. Shocked by the situation, the man 152 00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:14,280 Speaker 2: just flat and refused to pay for the extended family, 153 00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:16,640 Speaker 2: leaving her responsible to pick up. 154 00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:17,400 Speaker 1: The entire tab. 155 00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:17,839 Speaker 3: Now. 156 00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:21,000 Speaker 2: The incident quickly spread online, people debating who was in 157 00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:23,160 Speaker 2: the right and who was in the wrong. Many sided 158 00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:26,000 Speaker 2: with the man, in which I do one hundred percent, 159 00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:29,640 Speaker 2: saying it was unreasonable to expect someone to pay such 160 00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:32,200 Speaker 2: a large bill for a group on a first date, 161 00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:36,079 Speaker 2: while others criticized the woman for turning the one on 162 00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:39,679 Speaker 2: one meeting into a family feast. This bizarre story serves 163 00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:43,880 Speaker 2: as a cautionary tale about expectations and boundaries when it 164 00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:47,000 Speaker 2: comes to dating. Well, I got a pretty simple message 165 00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:49,760 Speaker 2: to her. You go on a blind date. It's one 166 00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:50,160 Speaker 2: on one. 167 00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:52,920 Speaker 1: Just fucking keep it that way.
