Speaker 1: little bit of fun with their friend or their significant other,

9
00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:26,520

10
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:30,240
Speaker 1: Others want to do it as a grand gesture for

11
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:32,839
Speaker 1: a big life moment like a birthday, or as a

12
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:37,120
Speaker 1: marriage proposal. Yeah, totally, it's a weird marriage proposal, but okay.

13
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:43,600
Speaker 1: My personal favorite, though, are the revenge ones. Yeah. Nice

14
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 1: revenge yeah right, not not vindictive, but yeah, but like

15
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 1: little pranks exactly like today's where one of our listeners

16
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 1: wanted to prank a co worker by taking a picture

17
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 1: off his desk at work and then emailing us asking

18
00:00:56,760 --> 00:01:01,080
Speaker 1: if Brooke, the snarky HR rep can handle the situation.

19
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 1: I don't know why I'm so good. It's so easy

20
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 1: for me to be HR. You're just great at delivering

21
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 1: bad news partly men, and that's what you do in

22
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 1: today's phone tap right after this on the twenties. Hello, Hello,

23
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 1: I'm looking to speak with George. This is him. Who

24
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:25,959
Speaker 1: is this? My name is Kristen. I work in corporate HR.

25
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 1: How are you today? I'm okay? Is everything all right? Well?

26
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 1: I was just calling today because someone said you were

27
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:38,560
Speaker 1: upset about a picture that was taken off your desk. Yes,

28
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 1: that's a picture of my dog Brixby. That was on

29
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:44,400
Speaker 1: my desk. I'm trying to figure out why anybody would

30
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 1: take it. It's pretty upsetting. Well, I'm sorry that happened.

31
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 1: It's probably a good time to tell you we took

32
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 1: the photo. What. Yeah, the company had to take it.

33
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 1: Why did you have to take a photo of my dog?

34
00:01:57,520 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 1: Why did you do that? We had to confiscate it

35
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 1: because of the nature of the photograph. What's wrong with

36
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 1: the photo? It's just a dog in the grass. I

37
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 1: don't know if you're remembering the right photo, Joel, your

38
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 1: dog looks extremely sad. That's not the case at all,

39
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:16,680
Speaker 1: not in that photo. No way. We were actually getting

40
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 1: quite a few complaints about it. That makes no sense

41
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 1: at all. So we took matters into our own hands,

42
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 1: and we thought if we just took it, you wouldn't

43
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 1: miss it without even notifying me. Okay, Joel, again, this

44
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:31,800
Speaker 1: is Kristen from Corporate HR, and we are notifying you

45
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 1: right now. You're notifying me after you took the picture.

46
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:37,240
Speaker 1: That's not how this works. That's oh did you take

47
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 1: a lesson in Corporate HR recently? It is how it works, Joel.

48
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 1: You know it's our job to make sure the company

49
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:46,360
Speaker 1: morale is up, and that picture was just bringing it down.

50
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 1: If you're talking about morale in an office workplace being down,

51
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 1: a way that you can get the morale down is

52
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 1: by taking people's things without talking them about it. I

53
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 1: don't understand how anybody could be angry about that. I'm

54
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 1: stunned here I begin, Joel, Joel, if I may interrupt,

55
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 1: No one was angry. They were just sad because of

56
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 1: the look on your dog's face. So I'm going to

57
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,079
Speaker 1: have to tell you that the picture was destroyed. So

58
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 1: you destroyed the picture. That's my picture, that's my property,

59
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:18,519
Speaker 1: and you destroyed or not even talking about this is

60
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:21,240
Speaker 1: what is insane. When you put it that way, it

61
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 1: does sound kind of bad, but yes, because it ain't

62
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 1: kind of bad, it's very bad. Why that's not the

63
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 1: way that you should be doing, you think at all?

64
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:31,640
Speaker 1: You come to me first, so I hear that you're upset.

65
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 1: I hear the anger in your voice. Of course I'm

66
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 1: very angry, but I do need to tell you that

67
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 1: we've set up some rules from now on, what RULs?

68
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 1: What possible rules could you be making based off of

69
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 1: this incident? Well, because of the sad dog fiasco. He

70
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 1: wasn't sad. That's not it. He wasn't sad on the picture.

71
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 1: I can tell you, if you can listen for a second,

72
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 1: that there's already been talks about the other picture you

73
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 1: have up of a dinner party where at least two

74
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 1: people look kind of sad. What are you talking about?

75
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 1: That's a picture of my thirty of birthday. Already everybody

76
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 1: is smiling in that picture. They were smiling, But were

77
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 1: they happy to be there? How dare you? Of course

78
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 1: they were. Look, if you want to hang up sad

79
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 1: photos all around your house, that's fine, but we can't

80
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,280
Speaker 1: let that happen at the office. Though it shouldn't even

81
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 1: be company policy. Positive attitudes make a positive workplace, and

82
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 1: until you can exercise better judgment, Joel. We just plan

83
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:25,919
Speaker 1: to replace all the pictures on your desk with cutouts

84
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:29,840
Speaker 1: of happy people from maybe college catalogs or gap ads.

85
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:35,360
Speaker 1: You're not going to replace my personal property with advertisements

86
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 1: of people in photoshoots. That's the line. I can't. I can't.

87
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:41,480
Speaker 1: I hear the anger in your voice, and I can

88
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 1: see that maybe this would actually be helpful for you.

89
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 1: I mean, seeing a picture of a freshman with a

90
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 1: frisbee is a lot more uplifting for morale than a

91
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 1: sad dog. For the last time, Bribe is sad in

92
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 1: a picture, and I don't even want to work here anymore.

93
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:58,360
Speaker 1: Well now, Joel, that makes me sad. Are you laughing?

94
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,239
Speaker 1: This is actually brut Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

95
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:06,039
Speaker 1: We're doing a phone tap on you. Why it's all

96
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 1: the joke Your co workers set you up? Waoun Who

97
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 1: was a picture of Briggsby? No, it was Pam. She said,

98
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:15,360
Speaker 1: you guys pranked each other all the time and wanted

99
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 1: to get you back for the missing lunch joke or something.

100
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 1: Oh she did to get back for the lunch thing.

101
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:22,480
Speaker 1: Oh my god, it was days of the making. She

102
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 1: stole the picture and everything. Yeah, she stolen so many

103
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 1: days ago. Oh this is good. Well, she said, she'll

104
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 1: give you the picture back as long as you treat

105
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 1: Briggsby with more respects. Because that dog, he's a glassy dog.

106
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:37,120
Speaker 1: I can read him very well. He may be a

107
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 1: happy dog. But you are a terrible photographer. I'm not

108
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:45,360
Speaker 1: a good photographer, sure, but he's not that wake up

109
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 1: every morning with phone taps weekday mornings. On the twenties,

110
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 1: Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning
