1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:03,960
Speaker 1: You think you deserve a honeymoon, no falling in love

2
00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:04,920
Speaker 1: under my watch?

3
00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:06,559
Speaker 2: You work for me?

4
00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:13,880
Speaker 3: This is Okayop. I'm Samuel Honor and I'm John Fry

5
00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:17,080
Speaker 3: and we tell the funniest stories on the Internet. And John,

6
00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:21,520
Speaker 3: you know what isn't funny? What the fact that Vladimir

7
00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:23,400
Speaker 3: Putin is invading Ukraine right now.

8
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:25,720
Speaker 4: It's just not hilarious.

9
00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:27,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, Vladdy Daddy, what are you doing?

10
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:29,520
Speaker 4: Blatty Daddy? Stop?

11
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:34,360
Speaker 3: Come home, Laddy Daddy. Daddy, Chell, this isn't like you, Daddy. Actually,

12
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:37,640
Speaker 3: it's very much like that's true, that's true. But you

13
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:40,480
Speaker 3: should stick to riding small horses that make you look large.

14
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:42,159
Speaker 4: Yeah, show off those beefcakes you don't.

15
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:45,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, just ride shirtless through the plains of Russia.

16
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 4: Exactly.

17
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:48,479
Speaker 3: That's what we know you for, Laddy Daddy. That's by

18
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:50,919
Speaker 3: your daddy. But you won't be daddy for long if

19
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 3: you keep the shit up. Unacceptable, unacceptable, Laddy Daddy. But anyway,

20
00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:59,080
Speaker 3: if Laddy Daddy is listening, I got a story for you.

21
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 4: Ooh, hit him.

22
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 1: You think you deserve a honeymoon, no falling in love

23
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:07,840
Speaker 1: under my watch? You work for me?

24
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, I dare that's that's actually, how does your love

25
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:17,480
Speaker 4: add to my bottom line? Sam?

26
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 3: It doesn't. I guess it doesn't. It doesn't. No love

27
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:24,399
Speaker 3: bestly that makes me sad. Yes, I'm gonna cry. John

28
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 3: doesn't value my love. I had a manager who hated

29
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:31,559
Speaker 3: reading emails and would miss important issues slash meetings because

30
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 3: of it. I even suggested a text to speech to

31
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:37,679
Speaker 3: make it less unpleasant, but he told me off. He

32
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 3: spent a lot of time playing golf with clients and

33
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:46,040
Speaker 3: was mostly inaccessible. It got to the point where most

34
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 3: of the team ce seed me. I was next on

35
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 3: the totem pole so I could grant approvals for stuff

36
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 3: like expense reports and help on on projects my manager

37
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 3: was supposed to work on. So the manager's not doing

38
00:01:56,400 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 3: jack shitz. Basically, he's just not doing his g'sus not working,

39
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 3: not managing. He is playing golf.

40
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 5: You know what's less productive than being in love?

41
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 4: Sam? Literally not working, not.

42
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 2: Working at all. Come on, let love be.

43
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 3: When I was getting married, congrats, op hey, I requested

44
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 3: three weeks off for my honeymoon. Everyone knew I was

45
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:20,959
Speaker 3: getting married. My manager even congratulated me on the engagement.

46
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:21,640
Speaker 2: When it happened.

47
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:25,680
Speaker 3: I had five weeks vacation accumulated and really didn't think

48
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 3: it was gonna be a big deal, especially since I

49
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 3: requested it nearly eight weeks in advance. So not only

50
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 3: does OP have the vagation days, but she requested it

51
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:36,919
Speaker 3: months in advance.

52
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 5: And it's like, not even the he could have taken

53
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:39,919
Speaker 5: five weeks.

54
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 3: Off, yeah, exactly three. I think Op is a woman.

55
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 3: I think pretty sure. So they took three weeks off

56
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 3: when they could have taken five exactly exactly.

57
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 4: Goodness.

58
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 3: Then, uh, vacation request to not email comes in from

59
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 3: our time off system. I emailed the manager, following up

60
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 3: left voice, and after a week he finally replied to

61
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:06,920
Speaker 3: an email, probably after a golf game, and said.

62
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 2: Look, we need dedicated people.

63
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 1: If you think you can take three weeks off vacation,

64
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:15,919
Speaker 1: you need to reconsider your position. Here.

65
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:21,359
Speaker 3: Keep in mind my request stated vacation request for honeymoon.

66
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 3: The manager already knew about this. Oh god, I replied

67
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 3: with no consideration needed. My last date will be in

68
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:34,359
Speaker 3: three weeks. Let me know about transitioning duties. So OP

69
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 3: just quit on this.

70
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 5: I love how like everyone just like escalated so quickly

71
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 5: to the furthest point.

72
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 4: Ohp just leaving the company.

73
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 3: I forward this to hr C seeing manager in HR,

74
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 3: and they set up the exit interview. But HR tells

75
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 3: my manager to set up transition for my responsibilities during

76
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 3: my notice period. I even replied all to this email

77
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 3: twice asking about transition plans, since I didn't get any

78
00:03:59,160 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 3: transition plan.

79
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 5: I love how no one's pointing out, like, wait, you're

80
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 5: quitting because your boss didn't give you the time off

81
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 5: you had.

82
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, what's the deal with that?

83
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:12,839
Speaker 3: Come on, it's insane, dude, And she has, she has

84
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 3: the time, she has the receipts.

85
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 2: Let it take it off. It's her honeymoon. Do it

86
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:18,599
Speaker 2: for love? Come on, for love.

87
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 3: I tell my team they asked the manager what to

88
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 3: do with my duties, and the manager says you'll think

89
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 3: about it, but doesn't do anything nor email about it.

90
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 3: Four weeks later, I get a call from my old boss.

91
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 2: Are you planning on coming in this week? Why would I?

92
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:41,839
Speaker 2: Because you work for me not as of last week.

93
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 1: Stop promissing about gets your bots yours offish.

94
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 3: I told you my last day when you denied my

95
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:52,239
Speaker 3: vacation request.

96
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 1: How bots giving proper notice for transitions?

97
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 3: HR asked you to develop a transition plan and to

98
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 3: attend my exit interview. It's not my fault you don't

99
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:07,599
Speaker 3: read any of your emails and are too busy playing golf.

100
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 2: Boom boom.

101
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 5: Also, I'm envisioning the manager as like a bear on steroids.

102
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's exactly what I'm envisioning too.

103
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:21,600
Speaker 5: Like the beefiest, strongest bear you can puzzle it with,

104
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 5: but with like a tie like Yogi bear.

105
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 1: Woo click.

106
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 3: I hang up and block his number, but screenshot the

107
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 3: call log and sent it to the HR contact with it. Innocent.

108
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 3: Should I be worried? Old manager thinks I still work

109
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 3: for him? Savage, savage, nice? All right, Now here is

110
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 3: the fallout. Ooh, things went from bad to worse for

111
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:49,359
Speaker 3: my old manager. Apparently I was doing most of his

112
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 3: managerial duties, basically doing his job, so he actually had

113
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 3: to try and get stuff done himself. Oh my gosh,

114
00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 3: doing your own job concept the tyranny. He also got

115
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 3: into some legal issues, you know, those client golf outings.

116
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 2: He played golf, but not with his clients.

117
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:15,920
Speaker 3: Oh, and that made his termination with cause, so no

118
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:20,279
Speaker 3: sufferance for him. I ended up at a competitor with

119
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:23,040
Speaker 3: a nice bump and pay. I wanted to start after

120
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:26,239
Speaker 3: my honeymoon, but the new company really wanted my help

121
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 3: on a pitch. I joined for several weeks, reworking one

122
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 3: third of the pitch, and then went on my honeymoon

123
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 3: for three weeks. They paid me for the entire time off,

124
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:38,039
Speaker 3: and that garnered a lot of goodwill from both me

125
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:42,840
Speaker 3: and my wife. I guess it is a man or

126
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 3: a man, could be a woman or a man who

127
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 3: knows twenty twenty one, twenty twenty two, twenty twenty two.

128
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:49,600
Speaker 4: So that's the reasonable thing.

129
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:51,719
Speaker 5: They're like, Okay, we have this need, we need to

130
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 5: do something, but obviously we want you to take your

131
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:55,680
Speaker 5: time help us with this thing.

132
00:06:55,800 --> 00:07:01,240
Speaker 4: Once we're done with it, go off, enjoy live yeah.

133
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 3: And that is how you keep happy employees and have

134
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 3: them do great work for you, you know, treat them right.

135
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 3: But you know who we always want to treat right.

136
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:11,640
