1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,080
Speaker 1: I was the last surviving employee in a toxic company.

2
00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:05,880
Speaker 1: When they tried to extort me, I burned the company

3
00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:06,600
Speaker 1: to the ground.

4
00:00:07,320 --> 00:00:11,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, screw capitalism, burn it all, burn themand burn burn

5
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:15,319
Speaker 2: knows those fat pigs in him suits. Yeah, I'm trying

6
00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:19,800
Speaker 2: to make some bacon, baby, a nice little barbecue lin sizzlin.

7
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:24,720
Speaker 2: Let's let's go back to communism. Oh goodness, communism with

8
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:28,600
Speaker 2: barbecue and some what's the other thing sickle? And with

9
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:34,400
Speaker 2: star sickle and pickax sickle? Yeah, and sword sickle.

10
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:37,240
Speaker 3: And the axe right sickle and it's a sickle.

11
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:38,240
Speaker 1: It's a sickle.

12
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:40,400
Speaker 3: What's the other one?

13
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:42,159
Speaker 1: And hammer sickle?

14
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:42,600
Speaker 3: And am.

15
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 1: Let's throw it back, go back, let's see what let's see.

16
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 1: If that's a uprising here.

17
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:50,159
Speaker 3: Maybe I'm ready for it.

18
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:53,159
Speaker 1: I was working in an organization that was super toxic,

19
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:56,080
Speaker 1: so much so that we had a revolving door. Most

20
00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 1: employees only lasted a few months. That is terrible.

21
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 2: I feel like you would check that before, like before

22
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:06,480
Speaker 2: accepting a job. Like if you're that you have a

23
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:09,119
Speaker 2: crazy employee turnover, just don't take.

24
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:10,039
Speaker 3: It, you know.

25
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 1: I think that's smart, But to be honest, I don't

26
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 1: know if I would ever think to check that's true.

27
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 2: That's true Tooby, I also would not think to check

28
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:20,119
Speaker 2: with now I know. Now I'm thinking to counter this.

29
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:24,039
Speaker 1: Our management put a three months notice into everyone's contract,

30
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 1: including the existing employees, so they have to give three

31
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 1: months notice before they quit.

32
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 3: So yeah, this isn't like two weeks the norm.

33
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 1: Literally two weeks is the norm. This is like over

34
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 1: six x over six times longer. It's crazy, that makes sense,

35
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 1: it's insane.

36
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 2: You know this company is good when they force you

37
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 2: to stay after you want to leave.

38
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 1: Uh huh. Work. Now, it's not strictly illegal where this happened,

39
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 1: but it is very unusual. I believe the idea behind

40
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 1: it was that it would make it harder for the

41
00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 1: employees to find a job outside, as potential employee didn't

42
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 1: usually want to wait for three months.

43
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, they want to just lock these people down, so

44
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 2: they basically have slaves.

45
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:12,959
Speaker 1: That However, this didn't work, as most people just simply

46
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:15,360
Speaker 1: quit and waited a month or two before starting their

47
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:19,080
Speaker 1: job hunt. Now, I was there for almost four years.

48
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 1: I needed the money, so I put up with whatever

49
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 1: abusive crap.

50
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:25,080
Speaker 3: Was thrown at me. It sounds like a terrible company.

51
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 1: It doesn't sound fun.

52
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:27,800
Speaker 3: No, what are they even doing?

53
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 1: We don't know? Okay, more details, we'd ever sayam always

54
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 1: wants to know the pertinent details, which are actually pertinent.

55
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:36,080
Speaker 3: They are the heck's going on here.

56
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:39,679
Speaker 1: My boss was a guy we'll call Vince, not his

57
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 1: actual name. Now, Vince was not particularly good, but he

58
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:46,520
Speaker 1: sometimes respected the fact that I was the most tenured

59
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 1: grunt in this organization.

60
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 3: Oh, tenured grunt.

61
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 1: So sad, Like, when you refer to yourself as a grunty,

62
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 1: you're kind of losing loser.

63
00:02:55,520 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm the best of the worst. Congratulations, what's another

64
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 2: example of that?

65
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 3: So you got tenured grunt? You got first?

66
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 1: The is like the worst uh like it's like the worst.

67
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:16,640
Speaker 2: Films, Yeah, the best worst films. Yeah, but it's like

68
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 2: the it's like the room equipment. Yeah yeah, the best

69
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:24,960
Speaker 2: worst film ever ever made. So you're the best worst

70
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 2: employee in the whole company. Good job, But that on

71
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 2: the placard, that's right, the best worst employee of the month.

72
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 1: Boom boom boom by that gold star. Do note that

73
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 1: after two years, I was doing a lot of additional

74
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 1: work to my official responsibilities, primarily because I was the

75
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 1: only one who know how to do it. Everyone else

76
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 1: who knew had already left. This will be important later.

77
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 1: Enter Regish, also not his actual name. Regish was poached

78
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 1: by a somewhat infamous company and was literally flown in

79
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 1: from a different continent.

80
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 2: I feel like is a interesting name to choose for

81
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 2: a made up name. That's true, because it's like I

82
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 2: wonder if it's like representative.

83
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 1: I feel like it is like probably a Southeast Asian country.

84
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 1: He was flown in from a somewhat infamous company. Hmmm, Google,

85
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 1: I feel that they seem somewhat infamous. Run Microsoft, Uh

86
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 1: Sundar or that's Microsoft. I think Microsoft.

87
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:28,479
Speaker 3: They flew.

88
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:35,040
Speaker 2: He has the best voice ever, very nice, very nice.

89
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:38,240
Speaker 3: Henrite a story, Oh dude, he could good.

90
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:41,479
Speaker 2: He could read me some erotic fan fiction? Oh god,

91
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 2: oh jeez.

92
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 1: Now Regis was brought into the company to strategically improve

93
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 1: our division. This was quite strange, given that our division

94
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 1: generated the most profits. That is strange.

95
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:01,920
Speaker 2: Maybe I'm but I feel like, you gotta, you gotta

96
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:02,719
Speaker 2: look at everything.

97
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:03,240
Speaker 3: You know.

98
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 1: That's true.

99
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:07,360
Speaker 2: You know, no left, no leave, no division unturned. That's

100
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 2: what they say, leave no division undivided.

101
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 1: That's what they want. That's what the people crave. It

102
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 1: is division. Have you seen social media today? Exactly? Yeah,

103
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 1: have you seen? Have you seen idiocracy? No, that's another

104
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 1: it's like arrested development level.

105
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 3: Like show it's a good movie.

106
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 1: It's good movie.

107
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I feel like it didn't. I've looked at

108
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 2: reviews for it.

109
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 3: The reviews.

110
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 1: Don't listen to believe it, do not listen to the

111
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 1: review Now. Within months, Regis made the environment even more toxic.

112
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:48,720
Speaker 1: He pulled Vince's team under him and got Vince fired,

113
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:52,279
Speaker 1: and he actively encouraged us grunts to spy on each other.

114
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 1: Is dastardly, dude. He is just sowing seeds of disruption

115
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 1: in here. Oh my god, right to spy on each other.

116
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:02,359
Speaker 3: Man.

117
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 2: It's bad enough being a grunt, but when you can't

118
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:07,240
Speaker 2: even trust your fellow grunts.

119
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 1: Your fellow gruntman, Yeah, like you have, but your fellow grunts.

120
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 1: But your grunt hood.

121
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:15,680
Speaker 2: Your grunt hood, your your your your your grunt memorabilia.

122
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 2: You know, your grunt grand children, grunt babies. Yeah, your

123
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:23,719
Speaker 2: grunt but oh you have your your work wife, you

124
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 2: have your work grunt. Yeah, I got your work or

125
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 2: grunt husband.

126
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 1: Ye. Gotta respect those Regis also had it out for

127
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 1: me from day one until today. I don't know why.

128
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 1: He started making my life much harder than the others.

129
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 1: This culminated in him taking me aside and telling me

130
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 1: that I'm not pulling my weight now. At this point,

131
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 1: I was doing quite well in the organization, and I

132
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:51,599
Speaker 1: had been doing a lot of additional work critical to

133
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 1: our business since I only knew certain systems and processes.

134
00:06:56,240 --> 00:07:00,200
Speaker 1: So I was quite angry. I started looking around. I

135
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:02,599
Speaker 1: still wasn't brave enough to quit. I just started looking.

136
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 1: But fortunately I was able to find a job that

137
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 1: was willing to wait the three months.

138
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 3: Okay, so it was good out.

172
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 1: turn to take REGIESI aside and tell him I quit.

173
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:40,200
Speaker 3: Let's go stick it to the man.

174
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 1: That's right, boy, Regish was pissed. He went from denial

175
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 1: you can't quit to negotiation. What if I gave you

176
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:54,920
Speaker 1: a raise at the end of the year, before finally acceptance.

177
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 3: I feel like a raise the end of the year

178
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 3: is not like anywhere near.

179
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like you usually get a raise at the end

180
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 2: of the year for inflation, Like give.

181
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:07,720
Speaker 1: Me a raise right now if you like, Hey, in

182
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 1: twelve months, we'll give you more money, but it's gonna

183
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:12,440
Speaker 1: be worth the same amount of money.

184
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:16,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're gonna give you a three percent raise because

185
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 2: there was a four percent raise of inflation.

186
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:22,680
Speaker 1: And you know, the big boss upstairs didn't want me

187
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 1: to do it, but you know, I hammered him up.

188
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:26,320
Speaker 3: I got you.

189
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 1: I got you. Thus, I was serving my notice and

190
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 1: working away like an honest b my usual work and

191
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 1: the additional work. At this point I was called in

192
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 1: by Hr and told that Regish wanted me.

193
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 3: Gone, but Op wanted themselves gone.

194
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 1: Literally, But she's just like, nah, you're out here.

195
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 2: Like it's like, hey, I really think we should break up.

196
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:52,200
Speaker 2: And then that person you're breaking up is like, no,

197
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:53,839
Speaker 2: I'm breaking up with.

198
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:57,000
Speaker 1: You right now. Yeah, or it's like, hey, maybe we

199
00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:59,160
Speaker 1: should go to like get it, get some counseling or

200
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 1: something like, no, we're done this second.

201
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 3: It's right now, it's over, Get out of here. Uh.

202
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:08,839
Speaker 1: The insane part was that they wanted me to pay

203
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 1: the company this salary from the two and a half

204
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:15,680
Speaker 1: months that I would be missing. So they want to

205
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:19,720
Speaker 1: OPE to pay like a reverse severance, reverse severance, like

206
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 1: oh hey, instead of you know, getting my salary or

207
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:25,800
Speaker 1: seventh or whatever. No, I'm just gonna pay you for

208
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:27,559
Speaker 1: two and I'm gonna pay you two and a half

209
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:30,800
Speaker 1: months of my salary. What that's wacko.

210
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 2: That is super wacko. If they're firing, they're firing. Yeah,

211
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:36,679
Speaker 2: it makes no sense.

212
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:41,119
Speaker 1: I obviously refuse, then went back in to check the contract.

213
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 1: Good on EUOP. Turns out both parties had to agree

214
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 1: to leave early, otherwise the company would have to compensate

215
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:52,600
Speaker 1: the person leaving.

216
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 2: Oh so, actually the company has to pay OPE if

217
00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 2: they want to fire OP earlier than the three months first, let's.

218
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:08,680
Speaker 3: Go Hee always look at those contracts. So OP gets

219
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 3: a little devious, devious, mischievous. What's OPE up to?

220
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 1: The Next day, I stopped doing almost all of my work.

221
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 1: I logged in and logged out my hours and did

222
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:24,200
Speaker 1: jack diddly nice. I stopped doing any of the additional

223
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:26,680
Speaker 1: work I've been doing as well, and started taking it

224
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:31,600
Speaker 1: really really slow on my primary job responsibilities. I love this,

225
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:35,160
Speaker 1: It's it's beautiful. I love how this revenge is like, Yeah,

226
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna like relax. Yeah, I'm just gonna I'm

227
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 1: just gonna kick back. This is like quiet quitting. Yeah,

228
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:45,320
Speaker 1: quiet quitting over here. Since no one else understood the

229
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 1: details of what I did, I knew it would be

230
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 1: very hard for Jish or Hr to prove that I

231
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:53,439
Speaker 1: was doing any of this on purpose. So I sat

232
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 1: back with my popcorn nice, just to join the view baby.

233
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:00,600
Speaker 3: With a Pina colada.

234
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,040
Speaker 2: And only you could do this like job remote, then

235
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 2: it would be that would be even that would be crazier.

236
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:07,959
Speaker 1: You'd be you'd be sitting back in instead of watching

237
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:12,320
Speaker 1: the office burn, you'd be watching Netflix clock and.

238
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:14,559
Speaker 3: You could probably still watch in the office.

239
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 1: That's true.

240
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 3: It would be a little bit sneakier about it.

241
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:21,960
Speaker 1: Yeah. You could put like a screen in shades.

242
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I've seen that.

243
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:25,480
Speaker 2: Where like you put your shade like it looks like

244
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 2: to everyone else, like yeah, and then you can put

245
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:28,719
Speaker 2: them in.

246
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:30,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's so funny.

247
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:32,040
Speaker 2: You've seen that right where it's like you put the

248
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 2: polarizer on your glasses and so no one else can

249
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:36,080
Speaker 2: see your screen except you.

250
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:42,080
Speaker 1: Oh oh no, that's smart. That's that's a smart boy

251
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:49,200
Speaker 1: move right there. Oh, they put a polarizer on the

252
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:57,560
Speaker 1: screen itself. That is insane. Wow, wow crazy. You can

253
00:12:57,600 --> 00:12:59,600
Speaker 1: literally see like it looks like the screen is a blank,

254
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:00,280
Speaker 1: but it's like.

255
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:07,640
Speaker 2: Pac Man, look like that. That's crazy.

256
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 1: Someone please replicate it and let us know how it

257
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 1: goes in the comments.

258
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:14,320
Speaker 3: Insane, Do that at your job.

259
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 1: So soon there was a complete meltdown all around. Reggie

260
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:23,560
Speaker 1: would pull me into meetings and scream and try to

261
00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:26,120
Speaker 1: boldy me, and I would say nothing but smirk in

262
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:26,559
Speaker 1: his face.

263
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 3: I gotta listen to you, REGI shake that. Yeah.

264
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:33,960
Speaker 1: Next, they tried to have someone else learn the additional

265
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:35,960
Speaker 1: work I used to do from me, so that way

266
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:39,160
Speaker 1: they could do what I was doing. Remember how I

267
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 1: said earlier that I was the only one who knew

268
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:45,080
Speaker 1: some of these old systems and processes. Well now I

269
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 1: claim that I you know, I can't quite remember.

270
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, it's really hard.

271
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 1: You know, I got amnesia.

272
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:56,319
Speaker 3: Hey, maybe a couple Benjamin's could jog my memory.

273
00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:59,319
Speaker 1: You know I heard that. You know, the more weight

274
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 1: you have in your pockets, the better your brain is

275
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 1: able to focus. Change, you know, some shatter, some bread,

276
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 1: biggest sandwich in my bom humbree. Well, now that I

277
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:16,360
Speaker 1: claimed that I didn't remember any of them, there was

278
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 1: obviously gonna be no handover. Regie could do nothing, as

279
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 1: none of this had been my responsibility or part of

280
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 1: my contract, since the leadership had only been too happy

281
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:27,880
Speaker 1: to see me do this for free.

282
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:30,320
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, get wrecked.

283
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:34,400
Speaker 1: Get soon my workplace turned into a dumpster fire hr

284
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:37,280
Speaker 1: and Regie smartened up and offered me to buy me

285
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:40,840
Speaker 1: out of my notice if I cooperated and helped my transition.

286
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:43,720
Speaker 1: But Sam, what do you what do you think?

287
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:43,920
Speaker 3: Op?

288
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:45,200
Speaker 1: He's gonna do here? What do you all think?

289
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:45,360
Speaker 3: Op?

290
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:46,000
Speaker 1: He's going to do here?

291
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 3: I say, Ope, he is just gonna watch the company burn.

292
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 1: I refuse. Let's we we're already halfway done. Let's watch

293
00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:58,320
Speaker 1: it burn all the weight? You know what I mean?

294
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 1: Let's just have a little patient. I want to see

295
00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:03,280
Speaker 1: that's same here, same here. I want to see a

296
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:07,440
Speaker 1: job completed. Me not completing jobs exactly. Then to twist

297
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:10,520
Speaker 1: the knife further. I started having meetings with fellow grunts,

298
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:14,320
Speaker 1: remember everyone was always a newbie, and encouraging them to

299
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:17,200
Speaker 1: leave as well. Indirectly though, so I couldn't be implicated.

300
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 1: HR tried to get me to leave twice more, but

301
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:23,880
Speaker 1: I ended up serving the full three months. Remember the

302
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:29,120
Speaker 1: mutual consents. Wow the contract? Wow wow wow wow.

303
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 3: I love this.

304
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 1: It's it's so delicious. I'm actually curious not only on

305
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 1: everyone's thoughts, but if you've been in a similar situation.

306
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:40,280
Speaker 1: I have to imagine one person watching this has been.

307
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:42,760
Speaker 1: I want to know your worst jobs? Yeah, your worst

308
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:45,080
Speaker 1: job experience? Like, how did that go? What did you

309
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 1: what did you do to get out of it? Do

310
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 1: you have a quick one?

311
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:50,240
Speaker 3: I don't have that many. Do you have any?

312
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:50,800
Speaker 2: Uh?

313
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:57,160
Speaker 1: Yeah? What was? I have a mister kobob and flaffel Ah.

314
00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 1: I love the mister and shout out to them they're done. Yeah.

315
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:04,360
Speaker 1: I would, you know, steal the manager's code to give

316
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 1: people discounts when they messed up the food, and you know,

317
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 1: apologize profusely and and just try to be kind. And

318
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:13,440
Speaker 1: you know, I.

319
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:17,680
Speaker 2: Feel like like if you were not a brilliant podcast

320
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:19,480
Speaker 2: or you would be great in customer service.

321
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:22,920
Speaker 1: You know, I was doing pretty decent, pretty Uh. There

322
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:25,240
Speaker 1: was a couple of old Russian ladies that uh each

323
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:26,600
Speaker 1: tipped me twenty dollars one night.

324
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:30,000
Speaker 2: Really so uh, your boy, I thought I was rich.

325
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:33,160
Speaker 2: Did you Did you give them any special sauce behind

326
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 2: the counter?

327
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 1: I might have given them the little the secret ingredients.

328
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:40,800
Speaker 2: Oh let's see what that is a little little drizzling

329
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:46,240
Speaker 2: on some Russian kebabs, little extra salty sauce. It was

330
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:51,160
Speaker 2: cuman where those Russian Oh cumin? Hmmm, as in you

331
00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 2: mean yes, hum inside me? But yeah, what do you

332
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:56,200
Speaker 2: think here?

333
00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 1: Is? Is OPI the ahole?

334
00:16:57,600 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 2: No? I mean it sounds like, oh p honestly is

335
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:03,160
Speaker 2: doing a good thing by preventing all these other workers

336
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 2: for getting abused in the same way. Like do you

337
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:09,240
Speaker 2: sound like some pretty predatory business practices? Very much so. Like,

338
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:12,880
Speaker 2: first of all, I'm going through contract reading stuff right now.

339
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:16,600
Speaker 2: Read your contract, Read it right, always read it and

340
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:19,040
Speaker 2: people will be like, oh, like I thought we were

341
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:21,399
Speaker 2: doing this in good faith, and like, you know, I

342
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:25,440
Speaker 2: thought we've showed enough like whatever whatever, like we've built

343
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:31,159
Speaker 2: this relationship, don't matter. Nope, have the contract there. You know,

344
00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:34,520
Speaker 2: the contract is there when times are bad, not when

345
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:39,679
Speaker 2: times are good exactly. So I feel like that that's

346
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:40,400
Speaker 2: what I learned.

347
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:40,840
Speaker 3: From the story.

348
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:42,800
Speaker 1: You know, that is a great lesson to take away.

349
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:44,800
Speaker 2: Hey, And that's what we do this show, you know,

350
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:48,800
Speaker 2: give you some legal advice, not legal advice.

351
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:53,040
Speaker 1: Love you.

352
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:56,159
Speaker 2: Men should always pay. If he splits the bill, then

353
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:58,399
Speaker 2: he doesn't love you. I told my wife that this

354
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:02,560
Speaker 2: advice is unaccepted and to stop coercing our daughter. Am

355
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:04,600
Speaker 2: I the ahole? My wife and I have been married

356
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 2: eighteen years. We have our sixteen year old who has

357
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:10,720
Speaker 2: been dating a slightly shy, awkward young man for about

358
00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:13,440
Speaker 2: three to four months now. He seems very nervous around

359
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 2: my daughter and is admitted in a passing comment here

360
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:18,240
Speaker 2: and there to my wife and I that he can't

361
00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:20,720
Speaker 2: believe she agreed to date him, and he thinks she

362
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:22,879
Speaker 2: is way out of his leak. My wife is usually

363
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 2: an independent, awesome woman, and her ideals align closely with mine,

364
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:30,880
Speaker 2: particularly in term of feminism inequality. We both have striven

365
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:33,400
Speaker 2: to raise our daughter to be as independent and as

366
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:34,360
Speaker 2: capable as possible.

367
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:35,640
Speaker 3: But since my daughter.

368
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:38,680
Speaker 2: Has been dating this kid, my wife has changed considerably

369
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:41,199
Speaker 2: and has given our daughter advice that has left me

370
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:44,760
Speaker 2: with raised eyebrows more than once. Some of the advice

371
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:47,919
Speaker 2: I've heard my wife give is, oh, it's cute for

372
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:51,320
Speaker 2: boys to pay for everything, especially in your first relationship,

373
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 2: or oh, honey, don't worry about that, he can pay

374
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:56,639
Speaker 2: for it for you. If he really liked you, he

375
00:18:56,720 --> 00:19:01,080
Speaker 2: would man sixteen, like we're he's getting this cash, he's

376
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:03,520
Speaker 2: just taking it from his parents. I've tried to balance

377
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:06,200
Speaker 2: this out by telling my daughter straight away two people

378
00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:10,240
Speaker 2: in a partnership should be contributing equally, and my personal favorite.

379
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:11,920
Speaker 3: If someone asked if they can take you.

380
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:14,760
Speaker 2: Out to dinner, it's reasonable to expect them to pay,

381
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:17,280
Speaker 2: But if someone asked you to grab dinner with them,

382
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 2: it's reasonable to split the payment. I figured that would

383
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:23,120
Speaker 2: be an easy way for a young person to understand

384
00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:27,080
Speaker 2: the difference. However, I've noticed my daughter becoming more and

385
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:30,240
Speaker 2: more entitled with her boyfriend's money. That don get loan,

386
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:33,200
Speaker 2: it's money you spending it quickly. They haven't been anywhere obviously,

387
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:36,120
Speaker 2: since we're home, but the way she talks about him, oh,

388
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:38,080
Speaker 2: I'll just ask him to pay for ex et cetera.

389
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:41,879
Speaker 2: Leaves a bad taste in my mouth. She's also flippantly bragged.

390
00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:44,840
Speaker 2: Slash mentioned that she gets him to buy him gift

391
00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:48,480
Speaker 2: cards for her, et cetera, by mentioning her mother's advice,

392
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:51,399
Speaker 2: if you really like me, you pay for X man's

393
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:54,679
Speaker 2: buying gift cards. This feels like a scam. This feels

394
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:57,160
Speaker 2: like like a catfish bro I spoke to my wife

395
00:19:57,240 --> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 2: privately and told her my concerns. She it's a right

396
00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 2: of passage for girls, and it's cute that she should

397
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:04,920
Speaker 2: feel a guy is.

398
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:06,320
Speaker 3: Completely spoiling her.

399
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:08,199
Speaker 2: I told her that it's not cute for her to

400
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:11,920
Speaker 2: be thinking it's acceptable to view relationships as personal ATMs.

401
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:14,560
Speaker 2: And my wife became very angry with me and is

402
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:17,320
Speaker 2: now calling me an a hole with a lot of hostility.

403
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 3: Am I the a hole?

404
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:21,040
Speaker 2: That's so terrible and it's and I think it also

405
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:23,359
Speaker 2: cheapens the relationship. You are a piggy bank to me.

406
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:26,240
Speaker 2: You know, life's done fair for us fella stuff. You know,

407
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 2: it's so hard being with the Patriots.

408
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:33,440
Speaker 3: Just kidding, just kidding. We know it's not hard anyway,

409
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:35,159
Speaker 3: but you know what, it's.
