Speaker 1: way or even better, told not to wear what you

00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:20,960
Speaker 1: were currently wearing in the future.

10
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:25,800
Speaker 2: Actually, I have two ones. Oh yes, I'm excited. Okay, Well,

11
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:30,440

Speaker 2: And then the second one is you know the outfit.

Speaker 2: So I had a poetry night for my birthday, you

16
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:46,240
Speaker 2: know the outfit that like I wore.

17
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:49,159
Speaker 1: I remember you wore black shirt and some sort of

18
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:49,960
Speaker 1: like big necklace.

19
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,280
Speaker 2: Is that what it? Necklace? I wear this like tight

20
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:56,400
Speaker 2: like black turtleneck and then some my pattern pants Q

21
00:00:56,520 --> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 2: photo in in here editors, I'll send John John that thick.

22
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:05,040
Speaker 2: But my mom saw it and she's like, you cannot

23
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 2: dress that way. And I'm like, oh why, Like what's

24
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 2: what's the deal. She's like, you'll be giving people the

25
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 2: wrong impressive I'm like, what are you talking, mom, that

26
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 2: I'm a badass poet. But she really couldn't just back

27
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:23,679
Speaker 2: up what she like, why why she had a problem

28
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 2: with it. But I will say that the outfit was

29
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 2: fairly flamboyant, and my mom did not appreciate that.

30
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:36,120
Speaker 1: Dude, your Sam's mother is one of the most hilarious

31
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:40,839
Speaker 1: people because she is like so direct, like we'll call

32
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 1: him without any intro, just be like this, this sucks.

33
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:47,039
Speaker 2: What are you doing? I'm like, whoa?

34
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 1: She actually, actually, she's the reason that okop has the

35
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 1: name okop. She internet boys, internet boys, and she hated

36
00:01:57,720 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 1: that one. And we were like, all right, maybe we

37
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 1: should go back to the drawing boards. There's there's some

38
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:09,639
Speaker 1: connotations there that, like, you know, I think I think

39
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:12,799
Speaker 1: our generation gets it, which is still a prime demographic.

40
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:17,399
Speaker 2: But Okayopie, you know yeah, maybe yeah, OKAYOPI is better.

41
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 2: I like, Okayopie, But John, why do you ask about

42
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:23,239
Speaker 2: these uniforms? Oh?

43
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 1: I have a story involving someone not complying maliciously to

44
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:32,919
Speaker 1: address code. Years ago, in the nineties, I worked at

45
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:36,640
Speaker 1: a terrible call center. Now, this was my first office job,

46
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 1: and I tried really hard to be professional. What I

47
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,239
Speaker 1: didn't know was that a call center is basically the

48
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 1: same as a restaurant. Everyone was hooking up with each

49
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 1: other on drugs, and the managers were idiots.

50
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 2: It sounds like a recipe for beauty and growth.

51
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 1: There was a guy who worked in a different pod

52
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:55,359
Speaker 1: who was always hitting on me, but I was not interested.

53
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 1: I did my job and went home and didn't socialize.

54
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,120
Speaker 1: Didn't even eat lunch in the break room because I

55
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 1: lived about five minutes away. Well, there was a manager

56
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 1: who had been hooking up with that guy and thought

57
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 1: I was coming between that. The manager was mad at

58
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 1: op because her boo is hitting on her, so she

59
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 1: kept making up excuses to harass me. I wasn't taking

60
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 1: enough calls, I didn't clock in and out of the

61
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 1: system exactly on the minute, et cetera, et cetera. One day,

62
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 1: she really went off the rails and started publicly shaming

63
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 1: my outfit. I had on a dress and a cardigan,

64
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:30,080
Speaker 1: which she insisted was too revealing. The dress was to

65
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 1: my knees, and I had on panteose, so literally like

66
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 1: her entire body is covered he wrote me up and

67
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 1: sent me home to change. I was extremely upset and

68
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 1: started digging through my closet looking for something that she

69
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 1: couldn't just pick apart.

70
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:49,839
Speaker 2: But then inspiration struck, sweet sweet revenge.

71
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 1: My dad is a textbook account Kaki's short sleeve button

72
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 1: ups and ties, so I borrowed an outfit from him,

73
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 1: not too dissimilar to that of Steve Harvey.

74
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 2: I'm imagining Steve Harvey in his giant, oversized suit, this.

75
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 1: Tiny little girl just like walking around his giant suit.

76
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 1: I was swimming in this suit. You could not see

77
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 1: a single curve. I went back to work and headed

78
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:17,040
Speaker 1: straight from my desk, and don't you know the manager

79
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:20,040
Speaker 1: spotted me and made a B line directly for me.

80
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 2: Well, well, let's a manager get to say.

81
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 1: She pulled me into HR, complaining that I looked unprofessional.

82
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 2: It's a suit.

83
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:27,119
Speaker 1: It's a suit.

84
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 2: It's a suit you like professional aff And also, it's

85
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:33,160
Speaker 2: not like a video marketing thing. It's a telemarketing thing.

86
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:34,119
Speaker 2: You only use your voice.

87
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:36,279
Speaker 1: I told HR that this is what my dad wore

88
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 1: every day, and he is a consummate professional. HR agreed

89
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 1: that my outfit was acceptable, but the manager would not

90
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 1: let it.

91
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 2: Go, bye, Hr said, is acceptable, It's fine.

92
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 1: The dress code was jender specific, and she argued that

93
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:51,840
Speaker 1: I wasn't dressed like a woman. This lady's getting canceled

94
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty two. I'll tell you that much. I

95
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:57,160
Speaker 1: ended up just going home for the day rather than

96
00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:59,599
Speaker 1: deal with it anymore. A few days later, the dress

97
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 1: code had been updated with vague language about looking professional.

98
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:07,039
Speaker 1: But here's the thing. It didn't give any examples of

99
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:10,159
Speaker 1: what was appropriate. The moment was posted in several places. Basically,

100
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:12,919
Speaker 1: what it meant was that everyone in the call center

101
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 1: could now basically wear whatever they want, as long as

102
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:17,720
Speaker 1: it wasn't rip jeans or tube top.

103
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 2: Wow, freedom free lash. All right, well, ope, congrats to

104
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:26,480
Speaker 2: you for making big change in the telemarketing industry.

105
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 1: And no one will tell you what to wear. Be

106
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 1: the change you want to see in Steve Harvey.

107
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 2: Suit maybe, But you know what you should always change.

108
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:37,479
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, you should change the fact that you're

109
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 1: not subscribed to OKOPI.
