WEBVTT - Welcome to Game Plan

0:00:10.800 --> 0:00:14.040
<v Speaker 1>Hi. I'm Francesco Leavie, the editor of Bloomberg's game Plan section,

0:00:14.080 --> 0:00:17.240
<v Speaker 1>which covers every step of the transition from college to work.

0:00:17.440 --> 0:00:20.520
<v Speaker 1>And I'm Rebecca Greenfield. I'm a reporter at Bloomberg, where

0:00:20.520 --> 0:00:24.360
<v Speaker 1>I cover workplace culture. That's everything from why you hate

0:00:24.400 --> 0:00:27.640
<v Speaker 1>your office air conditioning to the case for wearing yoga

0:00:27.680 --> 0:00:30.360
<v Speaker 1>pants at the office. We are starting something new that

0:00:30.440 --> 0:00:34.760
<v Speaker 1>we're really excited about, game Plan. This show takes your

0:00:34.800 --> 0:00:39.520
<v Speaker 1>workplace frustrations, rituals, and dilemmas and goes deep. We'll show

0:00:39.560 --> 0:00:41.519
<v Speaker 1>you how things that may seem but now, from what

0:00:41.560 --> 0:00:43.440
<v Speaker 1>you eat for lunch to who you're friends with at

0:00:43.440 --> 0:00:47.080
<v Speaker 1>the office, are actually fascinating. You live the majority of

0:00:47.120 --> 0:00:50.080
<v Speaker 1>your life at work. Our show shines a spotlight on

0:00:50.120 --> 0:00:52.200
<v Speaker 1>all of the little work life things that we take

0:00:52.240 --> 0:00:56.160
<v Speaker 1>for granted, Like how did we start speaking in office jargon?

0:00:56.600 --> 0:00:58.840
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, the word jargon before it was used and

0:00:58.840 --> 0:01:01.760
<v Speaker 1>the way we use it now came from the French

0:01:01.800 --> 0:01:05.959
<v Speaker 1>word for birds twittering. Please don't please them put that

0:01:06.000 --> 0:01:09.040
<v Speaker 1>on the show. Please. And it's being nice to your

0:01:09.080 --> 0:01:13.800
<v Speaker 1>coworkers always the best strategy. One of the statistics was

0:01:13.840 --> 0:01:16.800
<v Speaker 1>that people don't go on vacation with their coworkers anymore.

0:01:16.920 --> 0:01:19.560
<v Speaker 1>That seems like a really high bar. Yeah right, I

0:01:19.600 --> 0:01:21.760
<v Speaker 1>don't know. I go on vacation like with my family.

0:01:22.680 --> 0:01:25.920
<v Speaker 1>That's pretty much it. Of course, sometimes we get a

0:01:25.959 --> 0:01:30.000
<v Speaker 1>little off topic. If you roll your eyes, they can

0:01:30.000 --> 0:01:32.280
<v Speaker 1>hear it in your voice. That's a great point, and

0:01:32.319 --> 0:01:34.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to make the same point in slight different words.

0:01:34.680 --> 0:01:37.520
<v Speaker 1>You didn't hire me to be a cleaner. Okay, I'm

0:01:37.520 --> 0:01:39.840
<v Speaker 1>taking it too far, but I don't care about the

0:01:39.840 --> 0:01:42.200
<v Speaker 1>cleaniness of my desk, and you can't make me. I'm

0:01:42.200 --> 0:01:44.280
<v Speaker 1>an adult and I can have ice cream for breakfast.

0:01:47.160 --> 0:01:50.120
<v Speaker 1>Game Plan premiers on July twentie And if you've ever

0:01:50.200 --> 0:01:52.800
<v Speaker 1>had a job or wanted one, there's probably something in

0:01:52.840 --> 0:01:55.400
<v Speaker 1>there for you. We hope you'll listen. See you soon.
