1
00:00:01,720 --> 00:00:04,840
Speaker 1: Oh, sorry about that. Didn't mean to scare you. Ohki,

2
00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:08,800
Speaker 1: my bad. It's Halloween, you know.

3
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:11,400
Speaker 2: And if you haven't figured out where your costume is yet,

4
00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:13,720
Speaker 2: you need to, especially if you're going to wear a

5
00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:16,680
Speaker 2: costume to work, because you need to make sure it's appropriate.

6
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:19,160
Speaker 2: And one CEO is actually having to step down from

7
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:23,040
Speaker 2: his company and making international news this morning because of

8
00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:27,200
Speaker 2: something that happened with his Halloween costume. Oh no, we'll

9
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:29,880
Speaker 2: tell you what happened next since you will show.

10
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:33,560
Speaker 3: Hi. Everyone, this is Kat with a message about tomorrow's

11
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:37,040
Speaker 3: office Halloween party. The company wants us to know the following.

12
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:40,279
Speaker 3: No dressing as a Karen, since we have people of

13
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:43,400
Speaker 3: that name working for the company. No dressing is the

14
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:47,080
Speaker 3: opposite sex, as that would be mocking the company's trans policy.

15
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 3: No dressing is anything quote unquote sexy, nothing political, like

16
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:55,960
Speaker 3: dressing is the president's drooel nurse, nothing satanic or religious.

17
00:00:56,360 --> 00:01:00,320
Speaker 3: Nothing COVID related, including bats saying doctors or nurse is

18
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 3: Sugarless candy will be provided no nuts, plus soft drinks

19
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:07,560
Speaker 3: and water. I'll be dressed as a giant candy corn again.

20
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:09,479
Speaker 3: See you at the party. It's gonna be a lot

21
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 3: of fun.

22
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:12,840
Speaker 2: It's the Jubile show and that's the way most office

23
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:15,399
Speaker 2: Halloween parties go. Right, you need to be very careful

24
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:18,400
Speaker 2: with what you wear to your office Halloween party.

25
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 1: And I bring that.

26
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 2: Up because a CEO is actually making international headlines and

27
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:26,320
Speaker 2: has to step down from his company all because of

28
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 2: something that happened with his Halloween costume at the workplace. No,

29
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 2: and if you're planning to wear a work costume, hr

30
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:37,839
Speaker 2: people have chimed in with five things to keep in mind,

31
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 2: all because of this story. But we'll tell you what

32
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:42,840
Speaker 2: happened and then go over that. But a business owner

33
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:45,119
Speaker 2: has gone viral after what employees are calling the most

34
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 2: traumatic Halloween costume in corporate history, according to staff. As

35
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 2: a financial solutions company, the CEO arrived dressed in the morning,

36
00:01:55,760 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 2: dressed head to toe as the Grim Reaper comes with

37
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 2: a black hood and a bluetooth speaker playing the sound

38
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 2: of tolling church bells. Yeah, that's polite in the mood,

39
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:10,959
Speaker 2: very creepy, right. It was during the company's Halloween costume day. Unfortunately,

40
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:14,680
Speaker 2: the same morning that he came to work dressed as

41
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 2: the Grim Reaper was also when the company's quarterly layoffs

42
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:19,679
Speaker 2: were scheduled.

43
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 1: I mean, he distressed for the event.

44
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:28,360
Speaker 4: But it's also kind of funny, right, even if you're

45
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 4: getting fired that day, I'd rather be fired by the

46
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 4: Grim Reaper.

47
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 2: He was walking around with a sign that said it's

48
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 2: your time, and one employee said they thought it was

49
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 2: a joke until they got called into an office and.

50
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 1: Let go lail did he didn't know?

51
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 2: He later said it was an innocent mix up and

52
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 2: he had forgotten that HR was doing all the layoffs

53
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 2: that same day. So the CEO showed up to his

54
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 2: office for the Halloween party day dressed as the Grim

55
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 2: Reaper with signs saying things like it's your time, and

56
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 2: they were doing this huge layoff and you forgot about it.

57
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 5: I'm sorry, but a CEO forgetting that his company was

58
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:08,519
Speaker 5: going to have layoffs is pretty crazy, right.

59
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 2: The company has since had to issue a public apology.

60
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 2: It offered effective affected employees one month's severance and a

61
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,080
Speaker 2: free pumpkin spicelot.

62
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 1: That's very nice month.

63
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 2: One month set not at all. Corporate experts say this

64
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 2: incident serves as a cautionary tale about mixing performance art

65
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 2: and performance management.

66
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 1: He actually did.

67
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 2: Step down from the company after this horrible decision. So

68
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 2: you need to be careful what you wear to your

69
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 2: Halloween office work party.

70
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 1: You stepped down for that. Yeah, I do find that dramatic.

71
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 1: That's a little Yeah.

72
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 3: Jr.

73
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 2: Manager's also chimed in after the story with things to

74
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 2: keep in mind. If you plan to wear a costume

75
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 2: to work for Halloween.

76
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 1: But Halloween, should you go to wear whatever? Well, you

77
00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 1: have to use common sense, they say, that makes more sense.

78
00:03:59,520 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 1: You can't come.

79
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 4: I'm in hearing your little sexy orange costume.

80
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 5: Hey, Halloween can be whatever you want.

81
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 2: It's pretty much anything that could potentially be offensive, they say,

82
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 2: should be left out of the office. If you're going

83
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 2: to wear a costume, I want to hear this worth

84
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 2: for Halloween. They say, bring a change of clothes because

85
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:20,040
Speaker 2: even if you don't have any meeting schedules, something could

86
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:21,840
Speaker 2: still come up and you don't want to be stuck

87
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:24,720
Speaker 2: in a costume dealing with a serious issue all day, which.

88
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:27,279
Speaker 1: I disagree that'd be more fun for are serious.

89
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:28,599
Speaker 2: I feel like on bad days, when you know you

90
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:29,719
Speaker 2: have a lot of meetings and stuff like that, you

91
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 2: should automatically come to work in a costume, whether it's

92
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 2: Halloween or not.

93
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:34,360
Speaker 1: I think it's way more fun to be in a costume.

94
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,159
Speaker 5: Yeah, until you're in that costume in a stressful environment

95
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:38,839
Speaker 5: in a meeting and you're like, oh my gosh, and

96
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 5: like you're tripping over your tail or something.

97
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 2: Then I do my report. Sorry, boss, I can't pumpkins

98
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:47,559
Speaker 2: don't do reports. See how that works. We're going over

99
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 2: a list of things you should keep in mind if

100
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 2: you plan to wear a costume to work for Halloween,

101
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:56,039
Speaker 2: because one CEO actually had to step down when he

102
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 2: showed up to work as the Grim Reaper because he

103
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:01,040
Speaker 2: forgot that they were doing up on of layoffs that day.

104
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:04,920
Speaker 1: So obviously employees very upset about that. It's a funny qui.

105
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:08,720
Speaker 2: And they say, check your calendar if you're going to

106
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 2: be wearing a costume to work, if you have zoom

107
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 2: meetings or other work commitments that they plan around them,

108
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 2: or just don't dress up you.

109
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 4: Guys, who cares? It's Halloween. Don't you expect people to

110
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:18,839
Speaker 4: be dressed up?

111
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 3: Yeah?

112
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 4: The person checking me out at Safeway is definitely gonna

113
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:23,799
Speaker 4: be dressed like a clown, Like my dentist is always

114
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:25,600
Speaker 4: dressed like a vampire, like who cares?

115
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 1: Also, it is Halloween. You don't have a zoom meeting.

116
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,920
Speaker 5: They're also still on the same normally time, so it's

117
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 5: no Halloween for them, it's Halloing for you.

118
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 1: Right.

119
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, they should understand that you're dressed up for Halloween. Yeah,

120
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 2: that just shows how some un fun a lot of

121
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 2: people are in like the offices, weller environments.

122
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:43,720
Speaker 4: Well, they don't wear costumes at schools anymore either. They

123
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:46,480
Speaker 4: don't know what really they can't dress up. I think

124
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 4: it's a religious man.

125
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:49,039
Speaker 1: Wow.

126
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 4: Certain they have certain events for it, like the trunk

127
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 4: retreats and stuff, but like to school, no, really.

128
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 2: They also say to make sure the costume doesn't interfere

129
00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:00,920
Speaker 2: with your job. If you can't sit down or walk easily,

130
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 2: or if it's just going to distract you all day,

131
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 2: pick something happens.

132
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:05,839
Speaker 4: That's what makes it fun.

133
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:07,920
Speaker 5: Though. If it can distract you and your coworkers, you're

134
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:09,719
Speaker 5: gonna have a great day because all of y'all are

135
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:11,360
Speaker 5: playing with your costume and know what.

136
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:13,279
Speaker 4: You really need to do is come and like costume

137
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:15,680
Speaker 4: as like a queen or something and really own that role,

138
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 4: like I'm the queen, bow down suka and then see

139
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:19,239
Speaker 4: what happens.

140
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:22,599
Speaker 2: Yeah, and It says the number one thing you should

141
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 2: think about if you're gonna wear a costume to the

142
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:26,840
Speaker 2: office for Halloween is make sure you talk to your

143
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 2: HR manager first, even if it's your first Halloween of

144
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 2: the job, because you don't want to be the one

145
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 2: person who didn't get the memo and dresses up as

146
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 2: something offensive or comes to work as the Grim Reaper

147
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 2: where they're doing layoffs, somethings like that.

148
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:41,600
Speaker 4: Can we please call ours? I'd like to ask permission

149
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:43,800
Speaker 4: to be a fairy at work? What I wonder what

150
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:44,640

Speaker 1: But I've never got in toutle four.

00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:00,920
Speaker 5: up like him. I got trold by the bunny, but
