I guess it doesn't. It doesn't. No love, 31 00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:24,240 Speaker 3: Bestly that makes me sad. Yes, I'm gonna cry. John 32 00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:27,320 Speaker 3: doesn't value my love. I had a manager who hated 33 00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:31,399 Speaker 3: reading emails and would miss important issues slash meetings because 34 00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:34,360 Speaker 3: of it. I even suggested a text to speech to 35 00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:37,520 Speaker 3: make it less unpleasant, but he told me off. He 36 00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:42,640 Speaker 3: spent a lot of time playing golf with clients and 37 00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:45,840 Speaker 3: was mostly inaccessible. It got to the point where most 38 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:48,320 Speaker 3: of the team ce seed me. I was next on 39 00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:50,720 Speaker 3: the totem pole so I could grant approvals for stuff 40 00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:53,880 Speaker 3: like expense reports and help on on projects my manager 41 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:56,120 Speaker 3: was supposed to work on. So the manager's not doing 42 00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:56,920 Speaker 3: jack shit. 43 00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:01,040 Speaker 4: Basically, he's just not doing his Jesus not war, not managing, 44 00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:02,080 Speaker 4: he is playing golf. 45 00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:05,480 Speaker 2: You know what's less productive than being in love? Sam? 46 00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:07,360 Speaker 2: Literally not working, not working at all? 47 00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:11,080 Speaker 3: Come on, let love be. When I was getting married, congrats, 48 00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:14,480 Speaker 3: op hey, I requested three weeks off for my honeymoon. 49 00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:19,920 Speaker 3: Everyone knew I was getting married. My manager even congratulated 50 00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:22,520 Speaker 3: me on the engagement when it happened. I had five 51 00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:25,960 Speaker 3: weeks vacation accumulated and really didn't think it was gonna 52 00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,840 Speaker 3: be a big deal, especially since I requested it nearly 53 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:32,280 Speaker 3: eight weeks in advance. So not only does OP have 54 00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:36,359 Speaker 3: the vagation days, but she requested it months in advance. 55 00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,880 Speaker 4: And it's like not even the he could have taken five. 56 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:42,120 Speaker 3: Weeks off, yeah, exactly two three. I think Op is 57 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:45,799 Speaker 3: a woman. I think pretty sure. So they took three 58 00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:48,799 Speaker 3: weeks off when they could have taken five exactly exactly. 59 00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:49,480 Speaker 2: Goodness. 60 00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:54,919 Speaker 3: Then, uh, vacation request to not email comes in from 61 00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:58,520 Speaker 3: our time off system. I emailed the manager, following up 62 00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:02,840 Speaker 3: left voicemails, and after a week he finally replied to 63 00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:06,720 Speaker 3: an email, probably after a golf game, and said, look, 64 00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:08,920 Speaker 3: we need dedicated people. 65 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:12,320 Speaker 1: If you think you can take three weeks off vacation, 66 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,280 Speaker 1: you need to reconsider your position. Here. 67 00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:20,720 Speaker 3: Keep in mind my request stated vacation request for honeymoon. 68 00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:25,320 Speaker 3: The manager already knew about this. Oh god, I replied 69 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:29,440 Speaker 3: with no consideration needed. My last date will be in 70 00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 3: three weeks. Let me know about transitioning duties. So Op 71 00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:34,440 Speaker 3: just quit on this. 72 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:38,840 Speaker 4: I love how like everyone just like escalated. So quickly 73 00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,720 Speaker 4: to the furthest point, OHP just leaving the company. 74 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,000 Speaker 3: I forward this to hr C seeing manager in HR, 75 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:47,800 Speaker 3: and they set up the exit interview. But HR tells 76 00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:50,800 Speaker 3: my manager to set up transition for my responsibilities during 77 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:53,840 Speaker 3: my notice period. I even replied all to this email 78 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:58,480 Speaker 3: twice asking about transition plans, since I didn't get any 79 00:03:58,480 --> 00:03:59,240 Speaker 3: transition plan. 80 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,640 Speaker 4: I love how no one's pointing out, like, wait, you're 81 00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:06,000 Speaker 4: quitting because your boss didn't give you the time. 82 00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:06,280 Speaker 2: Off you have. 83 00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:09,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, what's the deal with that? Come on, it's insane, dude, 84 00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:13,640 Speaker 3: And she has, she has the time, she has the receipts. 85 00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:16,200 Speaker 3: Let it take it off. It's her honeymoon. Do it 86 00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:16,599 Speaker 3: for love? 87 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:17,920 Speaker 2: Come on, for love? 88 00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:20,680 Speaker 3: I tell my team they asked the manager what to 89 00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:22,960 Speaker 3: do with my duties, and the manager says you'll think 90 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:26,000 Speaker 3: about it, but doesn't do anything nor email about it. 91 00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 3: Four weeks later, I get a call from my old boss. 92 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:34,479 Speaker 3: Are you planning on coming in this week? Why would I? 93 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:41,200 Speaker 3: Because you work for me, not as of last week. 94 00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:46,840 Speaker 1: Stop promissing about gets your butt yours offers. 95 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,560 Speaker 3: I told you my last day when you denied my 96 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:51,600 Speaker 3: vacation request. 97 00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:55,880 Speaker 1: How about giving proper notice, for transitions. 98 00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:00,080 Speaker 3: HR asked you to develop a transition plan and to 99 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:03,360 Speaker 3: attend my exit interview. It's not my fault you don't 100 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:06,960 Speaker 3: read any of your emails and are too busy playing golf. 101 00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:08,680 Speaker 3: Boom boom. 102 00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:13,080 Speaker 4: Also, I'm envisioning the manager as like a bear on steroids. 103 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:18,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's exactly what I'm envisioning too, like the beefiest, 104 00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:20,240 Speaker 3: strongest bear you. 105 00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:22,120 Speaker 2: Can puzzle it with, but with like a tie, like 106 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:22,760 Speaker 2: Yogi bear. 107 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,680 Speaker 1: Woo click. 108 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:29,359 Speaker 3: I hang up and block his number, but screenshot the 109 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:32,640 Speaker 3: call log and sent it to the HR contact with it. Innocent. 110 00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:36,200 Speaker 3: Should I be worried? Old manager thinks I still work 111 00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:38,039 Speaker 3: for him? Savage savage? 112 00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:40,240 Speaker 2: Nice? All right, Now. 113 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:44,279 Speaker 3: Here is the fallout. Ooh, things went from bad to 114 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:48,440 Speaker 3: worse for my old manager. Apparently I was doing most 115 00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:53,000 Speaker 3: of his managerial duties, basically doing his job, so he 116 00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:55,719 Speaker 3: actually had to try and get stuff done himself. 117 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,680 Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, doing your own job. 118 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:03,400 Speaker 3: What to consay the tyranny. He also got into some 119 00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:07,600 Speaker 3: legal issues, you know, those client golf outings. He played golf, 120 00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:12,440 Speaker 3: but not with his clients. Oh, and that made his 121 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:18,440 Speaker 3: termination with cause, so no sufferance for him. I ended 122 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:20,880 Speaker 3: up at a competitor with a nice bump and pay. 123 00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,800 Speaker 3: I wanted to start after my honeymoon, but the new 124 00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:26,799 Speaker 3: company really wanted my help on a pitch. I joined 125 00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:29,240 Speaker 3: for several weeks, reworking one third of the pitch, and 126 00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:32,480 Speaker 3: then went on my honeymoon for three weeks. They paid 127 00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:35,680 Speaker 3: me for the entire time off, and that garnered a 128 00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:40,200 Speaker 3: lot of goodwill from both me and my wife. I 129 00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:42,800 Speaker 3: guess it is a man or a man, could be 130 00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:44,839 Speaker 3: a woman or a man who knows twenty twenty one, 131 00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:45,880 Speaker 3: twenty twenty. 132 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:49,440 Speaker 4: Two, twenty twenty two, So that's the reasonable thing. They're like, Okay, 133 00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:51,560 Speaker 4: we have this need, we need to do something, but 134 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:54,240 Speaker 4: obviously we want you to take your time help us 135 00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:57,359 Speaker 4: with this thing. Once we're done with it, go off, 136 00:06:57,520 --> 00:06:59,560 Speaker 4: enjoy live your life. 137 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:03,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, And that is how you keep happy employees and 138 00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:06,080 Speaker 3: have them do great work for you.
