1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,840
Speaker 1: It's time for your phone tap. And remember when pretty

2
00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:06,920
Speaker 1: much everyone worked remotely because of COVID, when they forced

3
00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:09,680
Speaker 1: everybody back into the offices. Wait, what's COVID?

4
00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:10,400
Speaker 2: I don't remember that.

5
00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:14,440
Speaker 1: But now we're left with the lucky few who still

6
00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:16,240
Speaker 1: get to type in their pajamas.

7
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:18,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, good for you. Hang on tight.

8
00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:21,759
Speaker 1: And so today we call a guy who just started

9
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:24,759
Speaker 1: a new position working from home, and we want to

10
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:29,320
Speaker 1: introduce him to his boss. Oh, she's a little overbearing,

11
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:33,840
Speaker 1: tad bit controlling, and I think he's going to understand

12
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:37,680
Speaker 1: the reason why the person before him quit. When you

13
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:40,479
Speaker 1: hear your phone tap right now, it's another.

14
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:45,080
Speaker 2: Hello.

00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:48,280

27
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:25,839
Speaker 3: Oh, well, he worked from home too, until we learned

28
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 3: he was grossly abusing company time.

29
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 2: Oh that's bad. Yeah, that's terrible.

30
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:34,559
Speaker 3: You know. It wasn't as much goofing off for doing

31
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 3: non work tasks during work hours. He just was really

32
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:42,840
Speaker 3: inefficient and couldn't handle quality coaching from yours truly.

33
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:45,960
Speaker 2: Oh man, that's that's terrible.

34
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 3: You know, i'd like to ask you you like to

35
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 3: be coached? Right?

36
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, sure, I'm open to it.

37
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 3: Uh huh great. We're on the same page then, So

38
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 3: I'm just gonna listen in while you do your thing

39
00:01:58,360 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 3: for the next six hours.

40
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 2: I'm sorry for the in six hours.

41
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I wouldn't even worry about it. You won't

42
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 3: notice me quiet as a mouse over here, So go ahead,

43
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:11,360
Speaker 3: just start working.

44
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 2: I don't understand.

45
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 3: Oh so hard to explain myself over and over. Yeah,

46
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:21,399
Speaker 3: you're gonna put the phone on speaker and then go

47
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 3: ahead and do your work.

48
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:27,360
Speaker 2: So you're going to listen to me do my work.

49
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:31,799
Speaker 3: Do you have a problem with coaching, Jeremy, because I'm

50
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:32,960
Speaker 3: sensing some pushback.

51
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:34,240
Speaker 2: No, no problem.

52
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 3: That's good because that's the one thing Loretta PLoP doesn't

53
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 3: stand for.

54
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 2: No, I was just trying to be clear. If that's all,

55
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 2: I've made.

56
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:45,640
Speaker 3: It pretty clear. So no, we're talking because that would

57
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 3: be considered an abuse of company time.

58
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 2: So just do my work, that's right, okay, mm hmm?

59
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 3: Sorry they interrupted? Is that a TV in the background?

60
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:07,800
Speaker 3: Is that what I'm picking up on?

61
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:10,360
Speaker 2: No, just neighbors.

62
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 3: Oh, could you put them on the phone. I can

63
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:16,000

67
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 2: They don't bother me. I can stay focused.

68
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:28,360
Speaker 3: If you say so. We'll let this one slide this time.

69
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:45,960

Speaker 3: I heard your neighbors again.

81
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 2: Oh my god.

82
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:23,720
Speaker 3: Isn't there like a noise ordinance in your neighborhood?

83
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:25,480
Speaker 2: It's an apartment building.

84
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:30,920
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I haven't been in an apartment in two decades, ma'am.

85
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 2: Respectfully. How about I just do my job and you

86
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 2: can call and checking on me from time to time.

87
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, respectfully, that's a terrible idea. Why don't you just

88
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:39,520

Speaker 2: Are we what?

92
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 3: Not my place to be your therapist? But you are

93
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:55,920
Speaker 3: hitting the enerchy a little too loudly, showing subtle signs

94
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 3: of aggression. To make a note of that one.

95
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:01,600
Speaker 2: Right now, I'm beginning to understand why the guy before

96
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 2: me didn't like the coaching.

97
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:05,799
Speaker 3: That's interesting because your girlfriend, Taylor said that you would

98
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 3: love to be micromanaged.

99
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 2: My girlfriend, Yeah, I.

00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:24,280
Speaker 2: Oh my god. I was like, what is going on?

00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:28,360
Speaker 2: You listen to me working on HR.

106
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:30,520

107
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:32,559
Speaker 3: got a new remote job and you were a little

108
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 3: worried about their management style.

109
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:36,919
Speaker 2: When you told me you wanted to talk to my neighbors.

110
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:39,039
Speaker 2: I was like, what is wrong with this lady?

111
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:41,559
Speaker 3: But honestly, they're really loud, Like what are they doing.

112
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 2: It's a common space, it's like the best place for

113
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 2: me to work.

114
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 3: That doesn't work for Loretta PLoP.

115
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 2: All right, yeah, not a lot of stuff does.
