1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:04,600 Speaker 1: My students protested my curriculum. I want them expelled by 2 00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:08,239 Speaker 1: the way it comes from throwaway zero one, zero two 3 00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:11,160 Speaker 1: three on our slize okay story, Tom severed it. I 4 00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:14,680 Speaker 1: twenty nine mail am historian and I am a professor 5 00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:19,919 Speaker 1: assistant in a university. The professor in question teaches contemporary history, 6 00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:22,479 Speaker 1: and one of my main jobs is just tutor students 7 00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:25,800 Speaker 1: who are lagging behind. Since I have a considerable amount 8 00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:28,600 Speaker 1: of students, I've organized them in small groups instead of 9 00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:32,520 Speaker 1: doing one on one tutoring sessions. The exams quite hafty. 10 00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:35,080 Speaker 1: One inside the course of the students are heavily encouraged 11 00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:38,879 Speaker 1: to come to my classes in quotation mark why isn't 12 00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:41,720 Speaker 1: in quotes we might find out? Recently, one of the 13 00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:45,000 Speaker 1: exchange students, twenty one female American, said that she doesn't 14 00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:48,720 Speaker 1: want to learn about colonialism. The previous class was about 15 00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:54,440 Speaker 1: European colonial expansion at the end of the something century. 16 00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:56,720 Speaker 1: I can't read Roman umals. Can you read Roman numerals? 17 00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:59,040 Speaker 2: Molly huh in ninety. 18 00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:02,880 Speaker 1: Eight nineteenth country. We're going with that because that sounds accurate. 19 00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:07,000 Speaker 1: And she interrupted me mid lecture, asking me to stop 20 00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:11,000 Speaker 1: talking about colonialism because it could be offensive. Now, it 21 00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:14,679 Speaker 1: is sort of a rule of history of history profession 22 00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:18,480 Speaker 1: of history professors that you should never get offended by 23 00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:20,720 Speaker 1: your own studies. You are not to be the judge 24 00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:22,600 Speaker 1: of the past events. Your job should be only to 25 00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:25,880 Speaker 1: document the past as accurately as possible, and never express 26 00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:28,520 Speaker 1: your opinion on the matter. I asked her what she 27 00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:32,200 Speaker 1: meant by that, and she responded that colonialism and slavery 28 00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:34,720 Speaker 1: are horrible subjects for a lecture, and I shouldn't be 29 00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:37,120 Speaker 1: spending any time on that because it is offensive for 30 00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:40,280 Speaker 1: some people. At that, I rebutted that she can't choose 31 00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:43,160 Speaker 1: whatever she likes the most to study, and that a 32 00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:46,839 Speaker 1: historian's job is to document the past and not pick favorites. 33 00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:50,200 Speaker 1: She then abruptly called me a racist for dedicating a 34 00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:52,680 Speaker 1: lecture to slavery and that I shouldn't be teaching it. 35 00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:54,680 Speaker 1: I'll be honest with you. This got the best of 36 00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:57,880 Speaker 1: me and replied history does not care if you're offended, 37 00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:03,480 Speaker 1: it already happened, and that welcome to leave, guys. Wow. 38 00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:05,720 Speaker 1: She then called me a racist and said that I 39 00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:07,920 Speaker 1: should be banned from teaching, and I told her that 40 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:12,640 Speaker 1: she'd probably make for a terror for a terrible historian. Opie, 41 00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:15,200 Speaker 1: you're not helping your case at Oh my god. 42 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,320 Speaker 2: But the insults are also so pg you'd make a 43 00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:18,240 Speaker 2: terrible historian. 44 00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:21,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like you're trying to be all professional, like, 45 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:23,600 Speaker 1: oh oh, you'd be such a bad story. Like let's 46 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:27,720 Speaker 1: let's let's be a little more professory open. I'll admit 47 00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:30,320 Speaker 1: this was probably uncalled for, an extremely unprofessional case in 48 00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:32,840 Speaker 1: point boom literally just said what we just said. The 49 00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:36,280 Speaker 1: class proceeded without any more hiccups after that. The day 50 00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:39,560 Speaker 1: after that, the student went to my professor complaining, and 51 00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:43,240 Speaker 1: the professor called me to discuss the matter. Once I 52 00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:46,280 Speaker 1: explained the situation, she dismissed the whole thing as students 53 00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:48,680 Speaker 1: complain and said not to worry about it, although she 54 00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:51,400 Speaker 1: warned me to never again come back at a student, 55 00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:54,000 Speaker 1: but to let it slide and just put them at 56 00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:57,399 Speaker 1: the door if they so much, if if they if 57 00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:01,320 Speaker 1: they so badly want to complain. She then reassured me 58 00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:04,280 Speaker 1: and told me the student and told the student our 59 00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:08,560 Speaker 1: university does not condone racism, but does not condone her 60 00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:12,400 Speaker 1: behavior even and at that point the girl ended up 61 00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:15,880 Speaker 1: calmbing down. I keep doing my tutor in classes. However, 62 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:19,360 Speaker 1: I noticed that all American Exchange students, about five people 63 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:23,600 Speaker 1: stopped attending, shaking it off as friends supporting friends. 64 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:25,000 Speaker 2: Oh, that's interesting. 65 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:27,960 Speaker 1: About a week after the incident, word came to me 66 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:30,960 Speaker 1: that the American Exchange students were about to stage a 67 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:35,080 Speaker 1: protest against the racist members of the university. As such, 68 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,800 Speaker 1: I instantly summoned the main culprit to my office to 69 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:42,960 Speaker 1: talk about this main culprit dude, the instigator who she 70 00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:45,360 Speaker 1: came with all of the other American students. They look 71 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:49,360 Speaker 1: dead serious and when I asked, confirmed to me the 72 00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:51,960 Speaker 1: rumors are true and that they will stage a protest 73 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:55,960 Speaker 1: because it's unacceptable that a university has racist members. I 74 00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:58,320 Speaker 1: warned them not to proceed further because that could cause 75 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,960 Speaker 1: a lot of troubles, if not get them expelled outright wow, 76 00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:06,000 Speaker 1: and that the university won't tolerate such behavior. Again. Their 77 00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:08,560 Speaker 1: response was they won't back down because I am a 78 00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:11,440 Speaker 1: racist and bad at my job and many more slandering 79 00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:15,680 Speaker 1: things on my own profession. Ooh, there's a lot going 80 00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:17,839 Speaker 1: back and forth right now going on. I tried to 81 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:20,280 Speaker 1: bargain once again with them, saying that if they kept 82 00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:24,400 Speaker 1: quiet and just go on with their university classes. All 83 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,599 Speaker 1: I will try and speak with the professor to have 84 00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:31,720 Speaker 1: them exonerated from the history exam due to sports scholarships. 85 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,279 Speaker 2: That that's where you messed up, because that sounds like 86 00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:38,640 Speaker 2: a bribe. Yeah, yeah, sounds a little briby. 87 00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:41,640 Speaker 1: Since they're mainly here for sports. Anyways, no one would 88 00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:44,000 Speaker 1: mind that they get to avoid the history classes and 89 00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:48,760 Speaker 1: exam altogether, since they clearly despise the history classes so much. 90 00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:55,360 Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, and where are we again? Because American Exchange, 91 00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:56,440 Speaker 2: do we know where we are? 92 00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:58,400 Speaker 1: Basically to you, oh, oh, where. 93 00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:02,719 Speaker 2: We're geographically speaking? No, we're in Europe. I imagine, let's 94 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:03,599 Speaker 2: look back in chat. 95 00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:07,279 Speaker 1: Tell me if you know the location. I do not 96 00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:11,240 Speaker 1: believe we know. The only thing we know is we 97 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:15,040 Speaker 1: are not in America. I believe that there are American 98 00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:20,120 Speaker 1: Exchange students and this is a professor's assistant of history 99 00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:25,240 Speaker 1: at this specific university. So we don't know what the 100 00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:28,360 Speaker 1: country is. To be honest, we don't even know exactly 101 00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:34,039 Speaker 1: what's being taught right other than it's like colonialism and slavery, Like, 102 00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:37,320 Speaker 1: we don't have any other like details into the context 103 00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:41,119 Speaker 1: of what's being talked about how it's being talked about. 104 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,000 Speaker 1: But all we know is that right now, all of 105 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,880 Speaker 1: the all of these American exchange students are basically like, 106 00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:49,600 Speaker 1: I'm not doing this. The professor is trying to, like basically, 107 00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:52,080 Speaker 1: like you said, bribe them out of Like that's. 108 00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:54,279 Speaker 2: Where that's when he messed up a little bit, you know. 109 00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:58,240 Speaker 2: And I think that we already obviously, like I've been 110 00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:00,640 Speaker 2: out of school for a minute. Yeah a long guys, 111 00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:03,720 Speaker 2: but a minute, and I feel like they're already trying 112 00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:08,120 Speaker 2: to kind of rewire how history is taught, especially with 113 00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:12,280 Speaker 2: sensitive topics like those that are mentioned, And so I think, 114 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:15,480 Speaker 2: especially let's say we are in Europe, they're maybe not 115 00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:21,640 Speaker 2: going to be able to express things as well as 116 00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:24,640 Speaker 2: we might hear. There might be like a language barrier 117 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:29,760 Speaker 2: who even knows. Yeah, but to protest too, that feels 118 00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:32,479 Speaker 2: I mean, I'm all for your right to protest. 119 00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:34,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, but I say go for it. But I'm like, 120 00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:36,599 Speaker 1: at the end of the day, I feel like it's 121 00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:39,520 Speaker 1: important to teach us now. I think it should be 122 00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:42,720 Speaker 1: taught the right way by the right people a thousand percent, 123 00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:47,040 Speaker 1: But I would be worried that it's like, Okay, if 124 00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:50,360 Speaker 1: we literally stop teaching this altogether. Then it's like, well 125 00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:53,640 Speaker 1: then we don't like low key. I believe it's letting 126 00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:55,839 Speaker 1: them kind of get away with it because it's like, Okay, 127 00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:58,080 Speaker 1: now we're not saying, hey, look at this horrendous thing 128 00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:01,400 Speaker 1: that happened in history, and like basically, as as a lesson, 129 00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:03,560 Speaker 1: it means to make sure that this doesn't happen again, 130 00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:05,440 Speaker 1: and we like know the signs and put a stop 131 00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:05,680 Speaker 1: to this. 132 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:11,040 Speaker 2: And it's interesting what the assistant teacher said about history. 133 00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:14,120 Speaker 2: How can it be offensive if it already happened, if 134 00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:16,480 Speaker 2: it's like the past. I guess it's the way you 135 00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:17,440 Speaker 2: talk about the past. 136 00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:20,640 Speaker 1: I think, yeah, because I'm I'm very suspicious of like 137 00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:24,440 Speaker 1: just judging off of the way that the professor assistant 138 00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:28,800 Speaker 1: professor is talking to the student. How are they because 139 00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:30,920 Speaker 1: in my opinion, you always have a bias, no matter what, 140 00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:35,760 Speaker 1: everyone has a bias. So it's like like maybe the 141 00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:37,920 Speaker 1: way that they're talking about it and we're not seeing 142 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:41,920 Speaker 1: the pov of the other people, right, maybe maybe he 143 00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:44,440 Speaker 1: just said the Americans. Are they in the group that 144 00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:48,440 Speaker 1: he's talking about, and he's like doing it like to 145 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:51,160 Speaker 1: your point, like doing a terrible job, and like not 146 00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:53,440 Speaker 1: doing justice and not maybe it's not the right person, 147 00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:56,000 Speaker 1: et cetera, et cetera. We don't we don't know how 148 00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:58,160 Speaker 1: to begin in the context. But there is more to 149 00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:03,680 Speaker 1: the story. Okay, so we just got back from him 150 00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:06,160 Speaker 1: basically kind of giving the bribe, like, hey, I'll let 151 00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:08,440 Speaker 1: you out of the exam if you hate it so much. 152 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:09,840 Speaker 2: Now I'm realizing take the deal. 153 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:13,800 Speaker 1: But yeah, this apparently was not the correct answer and 154 00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:17,360 Speaker 1: infuriated them even more. Surprise, surprise, at which point they 155 00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:19,880 Speaker 1: started insulting me directly and said that they'll get me 156 00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:22,680 Speaker 1: fired and that I should be locked in jail. Oh 157 00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:25,840 Speaker 1: my gosh, at which point, at which point told them 158 00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:29,320 Speaker 1: to leave immediately or be forced to have them escorted out. 159 00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:31,680 Speaker 1: My god. This happened early in the morning, and for 160 00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:35,280 Speaker 1: what I know, they'll be doing this stunt tomorrow. After 161 00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:38,160 Speaker 1: being subjected to their insults, I honestly have ran out 162 00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:41,520 Speaker 1: of f's to give if they fail my professor's exam, 163 00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:44,200 Speaker 1: and for what I care, they are not students that 164 00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:47,640 Speaker 1: I would want inside a university. Nonetheless, it will be 165 00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:50,440 Speaker 1: a waste if they ruined their whole academic career because 166 00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:53,760 Speaker 1: of this. Just after lunch, my professor called me saying 167 00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:56,600 Speaker 1: that she heard about the protest too, asking me if 168 00:08:56,600 --> 00:09:00,320 Speaker 1: she has to void their enrollment and have them send 169 00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:01,199 Speaker 1: back home. Wow. 170 00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:02,400 Speaker 2: Wow. 171 00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:05,400 Speaker 1: She did not blame me, but was definitely unhappy and 172 00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:08,040 Speaker 1: probably wanted to end this whole situation once and for 173 00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:10,200 Speaker 1: all in the fastest way possible, because again, this is 174 00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:13,400 Speaker 1: the professor's assistant, so low key. It's like the way 175 00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:16,880 Speaker 1: that the professor's assistant is handling this will reflect on 176 00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:20,720 Speaker 1: the professor one hundred percent. This is ultimately the professor's class. 177 00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:22,080 Speaker 2: At the end of the day, they're definitely on the 178 00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:22,880 Speaker 2: same page. 179 00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:26,920 Speaker 1: It's yeah, it seems like they're they're conspiring to like 180 00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:29,720 Speaker 1: basically kind of get them out of here. This is 181 00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:33,280 Speaker 1: what I'm saying, what I'm seeing. I've also received a 182 00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:35,959 Speaker 1: call about an hour ago from one of my students, 183 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:37,959 Speaker 1: which is friends with the American girl who started this 184 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,640 Speaker 1: whole situation. She said to me that if I were 185 00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:43,680 Speaker 1: to apologize to Exchange students and talk with them about 186 00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:47,440 Speaker 1: the quote unquote ex sensitive topics for the lectures, whatever 187 00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:50,520 Speaker 1: that means, and as if I had the power to 188 00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:53,640 Speaker 1: change the whole examined course, they'll back down from the 189 00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:56,160 Speaker 1: protest and go on with their exams as if none 190 00:09:56,200 --> 00:10:00,160 Speaker 1: of us happened, which, to me, which makes me you 191 00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:02,520 Speaker 1: think that they were warned at their protest could get 192 00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:05,160 Speaker 1: them expelled by the professor and went in to damage control. 193 00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:07,839 Speaker 1: Let's stop real quick, Yeah, go ahead. 194 00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:10,079 Speaker 2: I was just gonna say. The one thing they came 195 00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:13,360 Speaker 2: to mind is that professor's assistant is like the messenger, right, like, 196 00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:16,480 Speaker 2: don't shoot the messenger. And also the professor being a 197 00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:19,920 Speaker 2: professor's assistant, like your job is dependent on your relationship 198 00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:22,160 Speaker 2: with the professor, right, and you have to advocate for 199 00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:24,199 Speaker 2: that and the course. So I think they kind of 200 00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:27,240 Speaker 2: feel just like, guys, I can't do anything. 201 00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:31,080 Speaker 1: Like the professor's assistant yeah right, and and like but 202 00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:35,040 Speaker 1: also like I feel like they've done their their initial 203 00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:37,920 Speaker 1: instinct throughout the whole experience is like, oh, let's not 204 00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:40,600 Speaker 1: sit down, Like to me, the whole point officials like, oh, 205 00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:42,600 Speaker 1: you have an opposing view, let's sit down and have 206 00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:45,680 Speaker 1: like a dialogue about that, Like isn't that the whole 207 00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:48,800 Speaker 1: point of like learning and studying things? Like to me, 208 00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:50,400 Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, if we just want to like read 209 00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:53,960 Speaker 1: a textbook and fill in a multiple choice well, what's 210 00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:56,720 Speaker 1: the point, right, like, truly what we're just wasting, in 211 00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:59,120 Speaker 1: my in my opinion, wasting your time. Take this as 212 00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:03,440 Speaker 1: an opportunity to have a discussion, and I would give 213 00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:05,920 Speaker 1: them a platform like, hey, let's all, let's all have 214 00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:08,600 Speaker 1: a discussion and like see what we can walk away 215 00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:10,880 Speaker 1: from this, because ultimately, don't you want your class to 216 00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:13,960 Speaker 1: have some kind of impact on the students, Like I don't. 217 00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:18,000 Speaker 1: I'm drop with you. Yeah, I'm like not a huge 218 00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:20,040 Speaker 1: on like higher education, and I think they just get 219 00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:22,760 Speaker 1: into this like button pushing, like all right, let's just 220 00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:26,280 Speaker 1: memorize this and fill it out, and like I feel 221 00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:30,880 Speaker 1: like the true job of a preface assistant professor is like, okay, 222 00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:34,319 Speaker 1: let's truly learn. What does that mean? Learning oftentimes means 223 00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:37,800 Speaker 1: having these dialogues, having these talks, like seeing the other perspectives, 224 00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:43,200 Speaker 1: and like everyone walking away like having explored all angles 225 00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:45,920 Speaker 1: and probably learned something that they might not have or 226 00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:49,040 Speaker 1: just considered another person's perspective. 227 00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:51,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, Mike drop, everybody might drop. 228 00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:53,040 Speaker 1: That's my take. That's my take. 229 00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:53,720 Speaker 2: I'm with you. 230 00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:55,920 Speaker 1: But also my take is that you can join us 231 00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:57,880 Speaker 1: every week day at three people, So what are you doing? 232 00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:00,679 Speaker 1: Tap on our profile. Let's get to the end of 233 00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:03,400 Speaker 1: the story. So, as I said, I didn't particularly enjoy 234 00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:06,839 Speaker 1: being insulted and my profession slandered, and I'll happily spare 235 00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:10,400 Speaker 1: myself from tutoring the American Exchange students, But having them 236 00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:13,320 Speaker 1: expelled right away doesn't sit right with me, thinking that 237 00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:17,200 Speaker 1: just an apology would do. Although insincere, however, when I 238 00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:20,360 Speaker 1: think what horrible students they become if let off free, 239 00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:23,480 Speaker 1: it pains me. I am stuck between having them go 240 00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:27,760 Speaker 1: off Scott Scott free Scott free, Scott that's what they. 241 00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:30,280 Speaker 2: Say in your stop free Now, I'm just kidding. 242 00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:33,480 Speaker 1: Good out here or ruining their academic career forever. And 243 00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:35,840 Speaker 1: I'm starting to think that I am the a hole here. 244 00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:38,480 Speaker 1: I am inclined to let them do their thing and 245 00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:43,000 Speaker 1: face the consequences, but I feel a bit crap. Nonetheless, 246 00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:46,440 Speaker 1: anyone face a similar situation, what would you do? In 247 00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:49,000 Speaker 1: my situation? I would like to get a poll real quick. 248 00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:53,640 Speaker 1: Uh is the professor's assistant ahole or not ahore? Hand? 249 00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:55,840 Speaker 1: Everyone was like, not the ajoe. But we have a 250 00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:58,199 Speaker 1: new poll, so you can change your answers if you'd 251 00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:00,320 Speaker 1: buy guys, new poll put your answers in.

I'm gonna say at least a little bit 253 00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:08,320 Speaker 1: the ahole, if not like squarely on the A hole side, 254 00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:12,240 Speaker 1: because I feel like the professor's assistant failed the job 255 00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:18,480 Speaker 1: of like having a learning discourse like this isn't isn't 256 00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:19,480 Speaker 1: this the whole point? 257 00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:20,479 Speaker 2: Yeah? 258 00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:22,920 Speaker 1: Is this not the whole point? To have a discussion 259 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:24,440 Speaker 1: of the effects of. 260 00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:27,320 Speaker 2: History and learning how to learn? 261 00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:30,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, learning how to learn and learn and and and 262 00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:34,360 Speaker 1: and learning about from like all different angles. I don't know, 263 00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:37,960 Speaker 1: Like to me, I would have been like, let's have 264 00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:40,959 Speaker 1: them come in and like give them a platform to 265 00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:44,720 Speaker 1: discuss and have like I don't know. 266 00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:49,400 Speaker 2: I just it's like I have a tough time right 267 00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:52,880 Speaker 2: like being like that person's the A hole because I 268 00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:55,760 Speaker 2: think I see some a whole tendencies. But I also 269 00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:58,280 Speaker 2: feel like if I were to put myself in their shoes, 270 00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:01,680 Speaker 2: the professor's assistant, I would feel a little helpless in 271 00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:04,679 Speaker 2: this situation totally. It's not my course. I'm probably not 272 00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:07,400 Speaker 2: being paid a lot, right, or sometimes you're not even 273 00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:09,440 Speaker 2: being paid, and you just have to do it because 274 00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:12,880 Speaker 2: of whatever the school the requirement requirement is and I'm 275 00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:17,040 Speaker 2: probably like, guys, I don't I don't plan the curriculum. 276 00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:21,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, like this is above my payroll. Like yeah, but. 277 00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:25,920 Speaker 2: I think that again, the professor's assistant could have created 278 00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:29,000 Speaker 2: that dialogue, been like gone to the professor, Hey, I 279 00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:31,520 Speaker 2: really think you should sit down with these kids because 280 00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:34,360 Speaker 2: they're really upset and they want to be heard low key. 281 00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:37,480 Speaker 1: I feel like you could easily argue that the professor 282 00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:39,960 Speaker 1: is even bigger a hole because it seems like the 283 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,560 Speaker 1: professor's like, all right, you handle us, Like, yeah, I'm 284 00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:45,600 Speaker 1: the professor's assistant.

Yes, yes, a hole, 288 00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:00,840 Speaker 2: but not the biggest. 289 00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:02,480 Speaker 1: Light light light on the head. And then the professor 290 00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:06,000 Speaker 1: it's like you you're I think the professor is like 291 00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:07,600 Speaker 1: failing at. 292 00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:11,160 Speaker 2: Their absolutely, Absolutely. 293 00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:13,600 Speaker 1: The professor should facilitate the conversation or whatever.

Well, even 333 00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:01,040 Speaker 2: with everyone's warnings, I tried to be nice to her, 334 00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:04,000 Speaker 2: and I even introduced myself, and she literally ignored me 335 00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:07,320 Speaker 2: and would pretend I didn't even exist, which is rude. 336 00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:10,320 Speaker 2: I then just felt she didn't want to interact with me, 337 00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:13,320 Speaker 2: so I just let it be right to prevent my problems. 338 00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:16,840 Speaker 2: About two weeks in, a supervisor position comes open, and 339 00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:18,879 Speaker 2: I applied to it because I have years of retail 340 00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:22,880 Speaker 2: management experience. Well, in July or January of twenty twenty three, 341 00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:26,640 Speaker 2: I got the position, and I got promoted within the company. Yay, Well, 342 00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:30,919 Speaker 2: guess who was under me? Yep, that's right, Molly. I 343 00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:33,560 Speaker 2: was now in charge of truck unloading, online orders and 344 00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:37,840 Speaker 2: shipping damages. In inventory and housekeeping. Molly did some register 345 00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:41,000 Speaker 2: but mostly worked on unloading trucks and was our main housekeeper. 346 00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:43,199 Speaker 2: So to be clear, Molly works under here. 347 00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:46,040 Speaker 1: Under the op is now Molly's superior. 348 00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:47,879 Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, switch up. 349 00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:49,080 Speaker 1: I like that. I like that. 350 00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:49,560 Speaker 2: I like that. 351 00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:50,639 Speaker 1: Get a good direction. 352 00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:53,000 Speaker 2: So from day one of getting the promotion, my store 353 00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:55,520 Speaker 2: manager told me all the issues that he wanted fixed 354 00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:57,600 Speaker 2: of people not doing what they needed to be done. 355 00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:00,159 Speaker 2: No needed to be done, so I immediately had at 356 00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:03,520 Speaker 2: with my team from housekipping keeping to receiving and shipping. 357 00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:06,000 Speaker 2: I told them the expectation and the things we need 358 00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:09,000 Speaker 2: to improve on, and communicated with everyone and advised them 359 00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:11,280 Speaker 2: to also give ideas on what we could do better, 360 00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:13,320 Speaker 2: and told them to help me as much as possible, 361 00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:15,200 Speaker 2: since a lot of them have been there a lot 362 00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:17,920 Speaker 2: longer than I had, since at the time I'd only 363 00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:20,720 Speaker 2: been there for a month. He got promoted after a month. 364 00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:26,680 Speaker 2: Ohp he's killing it. Wow, amazing Molly. That Molly suck 365 00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:31,720 Speaker 2: Molly suck this, Molly cool that Molly sucks, Opie says. 366 00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:35,320 Speaker 2: I created daily checklists, boards, and even cleaned and organized 367 00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:38,080 Speaker 2: everything because the back was a wreck. I didn't have 368 00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:41,800 Speaker 2: many issues with any employees except for Mollie. She would 369 00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:44,399 Speaker 2: ignore anything I would say and literally not do anything 370 00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:47,480 Speaker 2: I asked her to. I started doing a two way communication. 371 00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:49,920 Speaker 2: Whenever I would tell her anything, I would say that 372 00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:52,560 Speaker 2: I'm also going to communicate the same information to my 373 00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:56,239 Speaker 2: immediate supervisor. This helped for about two weeks, and then 374 00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:59,320 Speaker 2: it went back to normal, her not doing anything. Yep, 375 00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,159 Speaker 2: it went on like this for months. I was so 376 00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:04,359 Speaker 2: patient with it and tried to work with her and 377 00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:07,960 Speaker 2: find ways around it. Eventually, I started hating going to work. 378 00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:11,159 Speaker 2: That sucks, and when I would see her car in 379 00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:13,520 Speaker 2: the parking lot, I would get so upset and angry. 380 00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,480 Speaker 2: I started hating feeling like that and just hated my 381 00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:19,000 Speaker 2: life because I would bring it up to my supervisors 382 00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:21,480 Speaker 2: and they wouldn't do anything, and I thought I was 383 00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:22,240 Speaker 2: going insane. 384 00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:25,240 Speaker 1: That really sucks, because I was just about to say, 385 00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:28,359 Speaker 1: like everyone in the company says this, report this, and 386 00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:31,760 Speaker 1: get just her being racist off rip, get her fired immediately. 387 00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:35,640 Speaker 1: But before Opie even starts, or like, as Opie starts, 388 00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:38,520 Speaker 1: learns this immediately, it's like, all right, let's get a case. 389 00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:42,240 Speaker 1: We know everyone everyone is literally telling OPI, and Opie 390 00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:45,440 Speaker 1: is experiencing it. The evidence, yeah, is all there. How 391 00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:48,800 Speaker 1: can we not get her low key yeah to the company? Dude? 392 00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:52,120 Speaker 2: Does mody like? I don't know, does Molly know someone 393 00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:53,320 Speaker 2: high up in the company? 394 00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:54,480 Speaker 1: Why are they protecting her? 395 00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:54,840 Speaker 2: I know? 396 00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:59,280 Speaker 1: Absolutely, company sue the company. We'll see, we'll see hopefully kind. 397 00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:02,840 Speaker 2: Of expensive to sue, but to the company's true. Okay, Well, 398 00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:05,000 Speaker 2: one day I straight up told my supervisor that I 399 00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:07,520 Speaker 2: believe she is racist. And she said she gets along 400 00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:10,280 Speaker 2: with the black female employees, and I told her it's 401 00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:15,119 Speaker 2: only men of color. Oh okay, that's I don't like this. 402 00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:15,840 Speaker 1: Listening. 403 00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:18,000 Speaker 2: Well, they didn't want to hear it because they didn't 404 00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:20,800 Speaker 2: want to lose an employee. I ended up writing her 405 00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:23,399 Speaker 2: up multiple times for not doing her job right, and 406 00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:26,120 Speaker 2: I would explain her job expectations and what she needs 407 00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:29,120 Speaker 2: to improve multiple times, and again it would get better 408 00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:31,119 Speaker 2: for a few weeks and then go back to normal. 409 00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:34,359 Speaker 1: She's literally not doing her job. He's managing it incredibly 410 00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:36,800 Speaker 1: he's an incredible manager. Everyone else is doing well and 411 00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:40,399 Speaker 1: getting along except for her. She's racist and that at 412 00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:46,520 Speaker 1: her job. Double fired. Get out of my faights, Molly. 413 00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:47,919 Speaker 2: No, yeah, that Molly. 414 00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:49,359 Speaker 1: Yeah. 415 00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:51,720 Speaker 2: I'm sorry. Guys. Do you guys laugh at home as 416 00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:54,120 Speaker 2: much as I do? Because I think this is hilarious. 417 00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:58,520 Speaker 2: So around summertime of twenty twenty three June, I think 418 00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:00,520 Speaker 2: we were there early before the store open, and I 419 00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:04,840 Speaker 2: think we were doing inventory prep and Molly was cleaning shocker. 420 00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:07,960 Speaker 2: I was trying to tell her about a few things 421 00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:09,800 Speaker 2: that my boss told me he wanted her to get 422 00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:13,439 Speaker 2: done that day. And again she's walking past me, ignoring me. 423 00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:15,960 Speaker 2: And I kept calling her name multiple times, and I 424 00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:18,680 Speaker 2: was being loud just to get her attention, and when 425 00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:22,080 Speaker 2: she kept ignoring me, I just lost it. I literally said, 426 00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:25,400 Speaker 2: are you freaking deaf? I'm literally talking to you. What's 427 00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:27,880 Speaker 2: your problem? Every time I try to talk to you, 428 00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:30,080 Speaker 2: you want to act like I don't exist. I'm done 429 00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:34,240 Speaker 2: playing games with you, and this crap is ridiculous with you, 430 00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:40,000 Speaker 2: go off, go off, go off. Damn. That's kind of 431 00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:46,320 Speaker 2: nice too, Like I think I would have been like, okay. 432 00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:50,600 Speaker 2: So we had that that situation, and then Opie says, 433 00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:52,840 Speaker 2: I then went to the only supervisor there that day, 434 00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:55,760 Speaker 2: since he was technically above me, and told him what happened, 435 00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:59,760 Speaker 2: but he didn't do anything. Nobody's doing anything. Ah. When 436 00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:02,520 Speaker 2: I finally told my immediate supervisor, she said she will 437 00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:04,159 Speaker 2: try to talk to her. But they told me I 438 00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:06,520 Speaker 2: shouldn't have raised my voice and cuss at her and 439 00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:09,040 Speaker 2: lost it. I told them that I've been telling them 440 00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:11,639 Speaker 2: the issues for months, and I've written her up and 441 00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:15,240 Speaker 2: coached her multiple times, and they've done nothing about it. Well, 442 00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:17,880 Speaker 2: eventually we all had a meeting with me and Molly separately. 443 00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:20,800 Speaker 2: They told me what she did. She apparently said she 444 00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:24,240 Speaker 2: legit didn't hear me and was confused when I yelled. 445 00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:27,240 Speaker 2: She stated she did not know I was her boss, 446 00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:29,040 Speaker 2: even after six months. 447 00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:31,640 Speaker 1: Once again evidence of incompetence. 448 00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:36,200 Speaker 2: Way, but maybe Molly's like how old is Molly? Right? 449 00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:39,760 Speaker 2: Cause like not saying, not excusing anything. Does she have 450 00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:44,200 Speaker 2: like maybe like early on said dementia. 451 00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:47,040 Speaker 1: I'm saying no, I'm saying, oh. 452 00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:50,560 Speaker 2: My gosh, she didn't imagine imagine after six months you're 453 00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:51,320 Speaker 2: my boss. 454 00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:56,520 Speaker 1: That is crazy, that's insanity. Yeah. 455 00:22:57,080 --> 00:23:00,400 Speaker 2: So, and even she even had the audacity to say 456 00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:04,480 Speaker 2: that I treated her differently than everyone else. I said, no, crap, 457 00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:07,560 Speaker 2: she freaking ignores me. And then they told me she 458 00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:10,560 Speaker 2: had a similar issue with another coworker that no longer 459 00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:14,560 Speaker 2: works here. And I said, and I freaking quote, I 460 00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:17,280 Speaker 2: bet you the employee was a male of color. And 461 00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:21,040 Speaker 2: my boss looked down and said, yeah, I believe he was. 462 00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:29,480 Speaker 1: Got him, got him. Bruh, cam awe, huh eyes. 463 00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:32,080 Speaker 2: It is really, it's a shame. It is a shame 464 00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:35,399 Speaker 2: that upper management they don't care, they don't want to 465 00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:38,000 Speaker 2: make changes, they don't want to get people out that 466 00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:39,760 Speaker 2: are treating people disrespectfully. 467 00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:44,520 Speaker 1: It's amazing, literally off jump racism unacceptable.
