27
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 3: you did it and what good came out of it?

28
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 4: Anything good?

29
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 1: Not really? I mean I was a little blindsided.

30
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 2: You know, I've I've always you know, taken pride in

31
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 2: my work and not feeling too.

32
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 1: Hot about this one.

33
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:24,040
Speaker 2: To be honest with you guys, and you know reason

34
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:27,399
Speaker 2: for my calling. You know, I respect your opinions. I

35
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:28,279
Speaker 2: think you guys give.

36
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:30,120
Speaker 1: A lot of really good advice. It's like, I just

37
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 1: wanted to talk through it.

38
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:34,679
Speaker 4: So what did they say about you and your work ethic?

39
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 2: I mean they just set up not giving quote unquote

40
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 2: one hundred percent, which I always do.

41
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:44,120
Speaker 1: I feel like I give one hundred and fifty percent.

42
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 2: But there's just a lot of really strange, awkward comments.

43
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 2: Like my manager, who is actually new in the role,

44
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 2: said that, you know, when they look at me and

45
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 2: when I smile, it looks like I'm unfulfilled.

46
00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 4: What so they're analyzing you through your Okay, all right?

47
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 4: What else?

48
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 1: What's weird?

49
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 2: I mean just other things that you know, my work

50
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 2: could be sharper, and that I'm not meeting specific deadlines,

51
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 2: which I always be my deadlines everything and I'm always early.

52
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 5: Well did you ask them to be specific? Like to say, okay, well,

53
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:20,520
Speaker 5: what do you mean by I don't meet deadlines when

54
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 5: I always meet a deadline?

55
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:22,960
Speaker 3: Yeah?

56
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:25,080
Speaker 1: I mean I think that there's are some follow ups.

57
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:27,359
Speaker 2: I need to have with them, But you know, honestly,

58
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 2: I always finish them ahead of time, and in fact,

59
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 2: I help my coworkers with their projects. Who so again,

60
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 2: I truly believe I'm going one hundred and fifty percent.

61
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:42,079
Speaker 3: So, Sam, I mean before this year in review, did

62
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 3: you feel totally fine with this job?

63
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 4: Is it something you wanted? You weren't even thinking about

64
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 4: leaving or changing?

65
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, I'm about too hot about it.

66
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 2: Like you know, I work in marketing. It's an interesting company,

67
00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:57,240
Speaker 2: you know.

68
00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 1: To be honest, I don't really feel like the the

69
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:01,360
Speaker 1: culture is there.

70
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 2: And I'll give you an example, like today is Taco Tuesday.

71
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 2: I'm calling you for a conference room right now, I'm

72
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:12,080
Speaker 2: in the office, and they only put out vegetarian tacos. Oh,

73
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 2: there's no carnetas, there's no fried fish, there's no charizo.

74
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:20,240
Speaker 2: They just put out vegetarian tacos. And they think that

75
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:22,240
Speaker 2: their employees are happy with that.

76
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,399
Speaker 5: So today you would be feeling unfulfilled.

77
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a good point, and thank you for making

78
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 2: me laugh.

79
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 1: I appreciate that.

80
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 3: We So are you thinking about maybe another place in

81
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 3: this company or another company? Maybe it's time to realize

82
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 3: that maybe you guys aren't lining up, you know.

83
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, you.

84
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 4: Know, I try that vegetarian tacos.

85
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 3: But look if they look at me and say, you're

86
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 3: not giving you all, well that's what their perception is

87
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 3: of me. Do I really want to fight harder to

88
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 3: make them think I'm giving my all and give them more?

89
00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 3: Or is it time to be considering other things?

90
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 2: Right? No? And I couldn't agree boring honestly, like maybe

91
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 2: this is a blessing in disguise, Like maybe there's a

92
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 2: silver lining here. Maybe it's time for me to figure

93
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 2: out a new career path or like point of what

94
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 2: I'm doing in.

95
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 1: My existence, you know, like honestly, I love food. Maybe

96
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 1: going to the food industry, Yeah.

97
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:19,720
Speaker 5: You can have a way better taco Tuesday than what

98
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:20,279
Speaker 5: they're giving you.

99
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I sure. I mean, you know, just talking

100
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 1: off the cuff. I love sourdough.

101
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 2: Why don't I start a micro bakery and call it

102
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 2: Sam Sowardough?

103
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 1: Yeah?

104
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,160
Speaker 6: I think the food that they're serving over there says

105
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:36,600
Speaker 6: a lot about their characters. I think you should move on,

106
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:39,480
Speaker 6: and you know you're doing yourself a favor. Get out now,

107
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 6: because vegetarians are very finicky, weird people and.

108
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 1: I don't want to dig a hole here.

109
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:49,160
Speaker 4: But it's just the fact that.

110
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 1: They're not hope, my sister isn't listening, the food, that they're.

111
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 4: Not thinking about everybody in the office.

112
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:56,920
Speaker 3: And it's like, well, we're the vegan clubs, so we're

113
00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 3: just going to do this scary scary I do.

114
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:02,160
Speaker 1: Is cut costs and burn people out.

115
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,359
Speaker 3: Well no, but okay, okay, see this is your opinion. Okay,

116
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:06,360
Speaker 3: maybe this is true.

117
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:06,719
Speaker 1: I know.

118
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 3: But maybe their point of view is, look, not everyone

119
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 3: eats meat, but everyone eats vegetables. Let's have a vegetarian

120
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:13,280
Speaker 3: taco and.

121
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 4: Everybody be happy. Maybe that's what they think is the

122
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:17,360
Speaker 4: right thing. I'm not saying I would like it.

123
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 1: I will.

124
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:19,840
Speaker 4: I want to meet in my taco. You know what

125
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 4: I'm saying, Scarry would not thrive.

126
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:27,720
Speaker 2: It's just there's a number of things, from the lack

127
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 2: of culture there to the people.

128
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 1: That I work with on it, like my colleagues as well.

129
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 2: I feel like they all hate each other, like everyone's

130
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 2: just always in the bad.

131
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 1: And if you have answered everything environment.

132
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 3: I think you've answered everything in this call you you

133
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 3: want to move.

134
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 4: And it doesn't mean it's a bad company.

135
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 1: It's just isn't for you.

136
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 3: You know, you deserve you deserve something different, something better.

137
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 3: Do you guys want to add.

138
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 2: To that, My entire Instagram feed is filled with sour

139
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,599
Speaker 2: dough bakers and people that are starting micro bakeries.

140
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 1: It just makes sense.

141
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 2: Here's the other thing, from like a financial standpoint, because

142
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 2: I think we all know in marketing, especially you know,

143
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:10,799
Speaker 2: I'm mid level. It's not great money. I could probably

144
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:13,920
Speaker 2: make more money from Sourdale. I think fifteen loaves a

145
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 2: day Monday or Friday. I'm bringing it like forty five hundred,

146
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:18,720
Speaker 2: five thousand dollars a month.

147
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 3: You could, you know what, And even if even if

148
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:22,919
Speaker 3: you didn't bring in more money, I mean, going to

149
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 3: where you were satisfied is really that.

150
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 1: I couldn't agree more. I couldn't agree more. Yeah.

151
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 2: Wow, I was just really thrown off by this performance review.

152
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:34,800
Speaker 2: And maybe that's what's setting me over the edge.

153
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:36,479
Speaker 4: Well, maybe that's a great thing.

154
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:38,359
Speaker 3: This could be the best thing that's ever happened to you,

155
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 3: even though it wasn't pleasant.

156
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 1: But you know, like I tell someone that they look

157
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:44,279
Speaker 1: unfulfilled when they're smiling.

158
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:46,360
Speaker 5: That's the craziest one to me, because that's not really

159
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 5: a work or performance evaluation at all. So if you

160
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:51,119
Speaker 5: can appeal it, I would go after that one for sure.

161
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:52,880
