6
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:19,360
Speaker 1: time for your phone tap. And today there's a guy

7
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:22,680
Speaker 1: working an office job named Sean, and he has a

8
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:25,040
Speaker 1: couple of buddies that he works with. And since it's

9
00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:28,720
Speaker 1: Sean's five year anniversary with the company, they emailed us

10
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:32,640
Speaker 1: to prank him. What a cool company. Yeah, I want

11
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:37,920
Speaker 1: to work for them, and so I'm just kidding. Yeah.

12
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:40,680
Speaker 1: So we asked them a little bit about their office

13
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:42,800
Speaker 1: and they told us their company has been coming down

14
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:46,640
Speaker 1: with some stricter new policies about what you're allowed to

15
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:48,879
Speaker 1: do and say and what you're not allowed to do

16
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:52,640
Speaker 1: and say while you're at work. Are doing that? Yeah?

17
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 1: And so we asked our favorite corporate HR person, Brooke

18
00:00:56,760 --> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 1: fox Oh, to call Sean and take some of those

19
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:04,560
Speaker 1: policies to the next level. I think we have a

20
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:07,839
Speaker 1: good plan. Yeah, We'll find out exactly what that means

21
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 1: in your phone tap right after this. Hello, Hi, this

22
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 1: is Minni Farow calling from corporate HR. Is this Sean? Yes,

23
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 1: it is Hi, Sean. I know we haven't spoken before,

24
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:27,759
Speaker 1: but I needed to give you a call because unfortunately

25
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 1: we've gotten a complaint about you. What about me? Yes,

26
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 1: and maybe you'd rather do this in person, which is

27
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 1: an option, or we can just talk over the phone.

28
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 1: Right now on the phone is fine. I just I'm

29
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 1: not sure what the problem could be. Well, that's what

30
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 1: we're going to go over your workplace correspondence. It's been

31
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 1: deemed offensive by some What does that mean? Well, your

32
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 1: emails are rubbing people the wrong way, and we're really

33
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 1: trying to make sure that we have a healthy work

34
00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 1: environment here. I want that too with everybody. That is

35
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 1: so good to hear, Sean, I just want to I'm

36
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 1: sorry to interrupt you, but let you know I'm happy

37
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 1: to hear that. I'm good. Do you have any examples

38
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 1: as to what I did? Sure? Last Monday you responded

39
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:15,360
Speaker 1: to one of your coworkers emails with and I have

40
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 1: it right here quote. I'm not sure I understand the

41
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 1: concept for the project. Can you elaborate further? Do you

42
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 1: see how that can be perceived as rude. No, I

43
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:30,920
Speaker 1: don't understand. That's okay if we can work through this together, Sean,

44
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,240
Speaker 1: this is what I'm here for, you know, So I

45
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:35,640
Speaker 1: wrote up a different idea, so, you know, maybe instead

46
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:38,920
Speaker 1: of questioning the concept of the project, which can be

47
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 1: construed as being rude, why don't you try saying something

48
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 1: like quote, I'm sorry, I have a learning disability. So

49
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:51,679
Speaker 1: can you explain it to me in more detail? Please? What?

50
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:55,360
Speaker 1: Don this isn't funny. I'm not sure why you're laughing. Oh,

51
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I don't have a learning disability. I just

52
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 1: I really don't understand. Don't you think that that would

53
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:04,919
Speaker 1: make someone else feel better? Like, maybe that's the reason

54
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 1: you don't understand, not because they did something wrong, but

55
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 1: because you were a little behind. Oh, I'm trying to

56
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:12,920
Speaker 1: wrap my head around this. So you want me to

57
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 1: lie in my office emails and tell my coworkers that

58
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:19,679
Speaker 1: I have a learning disability so that their feelings don't

59
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:21,920
Speaker 1: get hurt. Well, you're having a hard time understanding what

60
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 1: I'm saying, so I'm not sure that it's a lie, Sean.

61
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 1: I just think now I know this is HR corporate HR.

62
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 1: I want to remind you of that, Sean, And I

63
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:34,079
Speaker 1: just think everybody would feel a lot more comfortable this way.

64
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 1: I don't know about that. I'm not comfortable right now. Okay,

65
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 1: I hear you, Sean. How about this? Going to move

66
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 1: on to the next complaint we received? There's another. Yes,

67
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 1: I hate to say it, but last Tuesday, we received

68
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 1: a complaint about an email you sent to an employee

69
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 1: asking if they could quote meet for a meeting at

70
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 1: ten am the following morning. Yeah, okay, so what's the

71
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 1: problem with that one? I don't how is that offensive? Well?

72
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 1: Ten am is that employee's normal snack time. And they

73
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 1: said you knew that? What I didn't know? I am

74
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 1: so confused right now. I'd watch it, Sean. They are hyperglycemiic,

75
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 1: so they thought by you trying to schedule a meeting

76
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 1: at ten am, that's suggesting you hope they fall ill what.

77
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 1: I would never think that, you know. I believe you.

78
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 1: I believe you. I do, Sean, And I hear you

79
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 1: getting upset. I'm just trying to work with you to

80
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 1: manage this. Okay. I really don't understand what we're managing. Listen.

81
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 1: We don't want to be attacking people's medical history. Oh

82
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:39,719
Speaker 1: so instead, we're going to have you call out a

83
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:43,719
Speaker 1: medical issue you have first, so you can schedule the

84
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 1: meeting around that, so you know they can feel sorry

85
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 1: for you. Why would I say that? First of all,

86
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 1: my medical history is supposed to be confidential. I shouldn't

87
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 1: have to share that with anyone. I understand what you're saying, Sean.

88
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:57,359
Speaker 1: It's not your real medical history. We're not asking you

89
00:04:57,400 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 1: to divulge that. It's just to make them feel better

90
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 1: about themselves. So maybe lupus asthma. I mean, even if

91
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 1: you don't have it, you want sympathy so that that

92
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 1: way they don't hate you, they just feel sorry for you.

93
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 1: You want my coworkers to feel sorry for me? Vitamin

94
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 1: C deficiency? Is that an option? You want me to

95
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:20,840
Speaker 1: email my co workers and tell them I have scurvy? No, actually,

96
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:24,719
Speaker 1: I guess I don't. I don't email your co workers

97
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 1: that tell them that at all? Then what the hell

98
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 1: is going on? This is a joke. I'm so sorry.

99
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,279
Speaker 1: My name is actually broke through the radio show Broken

100
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 1: Jeffrey in the morning, we're doing a phone tap on you.

101
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 1: I knew I knew something was going on. I could

102
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 1: not keep it together. Oh, your employee Zach and James

103
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:49,360
Speaker 1: set you up to congratulate you on your five year anniversary.

104
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 1: I worked with some bleeding hearts, but this was too much. Well,

105
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:56,800
Speaker 1: I just would say, you know, when you're scheduling your

106
00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 1: celebration cake, make sure you do it around their snack time. Yeah.

107
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:05,360
Speaker 1: I wouldn't want them to pass out. Yeah, wake up

108
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 1: every morning with funk tabs weekday mornings on the twenties,

109
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 1: Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning
