And since 9 00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:28,640 Speaker 1: it's Sean's five year anniversary with the company, they emailed 10 00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:32,400 Speaker 1: us to prank him. Oh what a cool company. Yeah, 11 00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:38,040 Speaker 1: I want to work for them, and so I'm just kidding. Yeah. 12 00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:40,800 Speaker 1: So we asked them a little bit about their office 13 00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:42,920 Speaker 1: and they told us their company has been coming down 14 00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:46,760 Speaker 1: with some stricter new policies about what you're allowed to 15 00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:49,000 Speaker 1: do and say and what you're not allowed to do 16 00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:52,800 Speaker 1: and say while you're at work. Are doing that? Yeah? 17 00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:56,800 Speaker 1: And so we asked our favorite corporate HR person, Brooke 18 00:00:56,880 --> 00:01:01,360 Speaker 1: Fox Oh to call Shaw and take some of those 19 00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:04,680 Speaker 1: policies to the next level.

I know we haven't spoken before, 25 00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:31,119 Speaker 1: but I needed to give you a call because unfortunately 26 00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:36,039 Speaker 1: we've gotten a complaint about you. What about me? Yes? 27 00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:38,920 Speaker 1: And maybe you'd rather do this in person, which is 28 00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:41,120 Speaker 1: an option, or we can just talk over the phone. 29 00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:44,640 Speaker 1: Right now on the phone is fine. I just I'm 30 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:46,840 Speaker 1: not sure what the problem could be. Well, that's what 31 00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:51,480 Speaker 1: we're going to go over your workplace correspondence. It's been 32 00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:55,480 Speaker 1: deemed offensive by some What does that mean? Well, your 33 00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:58,240 Speaker 1: emails are rubbing people the wrong way, and we're really 34 00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:00,960 Speaker 1: trying to make sure that we have a healthy environment here. 35 00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:05,240 Speaker 1: I want that too with everybody. That is so good 36 00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:06,960 Speaker 1: to hear, Sean. I just want to I'm sorry to 37 00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:09,320 Speaker 1: interrupt you, but let you know I'm happy to hear that. 38 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,960 Speaker 1: I'm good. Do you have any examples as to what 39 00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:16,640 Speaker 1: I did? Sure? Last Monday you responded to one of 40 00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:19,800 Speaker 1: your coworkers emails with and I have it right here quote. 41 00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:23,520 Speaker 1: I'm not sure I understand the concept for the project. 42 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,480 Speaker 1: Can you elaborate further. Do you see how that can 43 00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:32,640 Speaker 1: be perceived as rude? No, I don't understand. That's okay, 44 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:34,760 Speaker 1: we can work through this together, Sean. This is what 45 00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,160 Speaker 1: I'm here for, you know, So I wrote up a 46 00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:39,920 Speaker 1: different idea, so, you know, maybe instead of questioning the 47 00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:43,680 Speaker 1: concept of the project, which can be construed as being rude, 48 00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:47,200 Speaker 1: why don't you try saying something like quote, I'm sorry, 49 00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:51,840 Speaker 1: I have a learning disability. So can you explain it 50 00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:57,079 Speaker 1: to me in more detail? Please? This isn't funny. I'm 51 00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:00,640 Speaker 1: not sure why you're laughing. Oh, I'm sorry. I don't 52 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,680 Speaker 1: have a learning disability. I just I really don't understand. 53 00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:07,040 Speaker 1: Don't you think that that would make someone else feel better? Like, 54 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:09,960 Speaker 1: maybe that's the reason you don't understand, not because they 55 00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:13,560 Speaker 1: did something wrong, but because you were a little behind. Oh, 56 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:15,720 Speaker 1: I'm trying to wrap my head around this. So you 57 00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:18,720 Speaker 1: want me to lie in my office emails and tell 58 00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:21,760 Speaker 1: my coworkers that I have a learning disability so that 59 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,480 Speaker 1: their feelings don't get hurt. Well, you're having a hard 60 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:26,720 Speaker 1: time understanding what I'm saying, so I'm not sure that 61 00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:30,880 Speaker 1: it's a lie, Sean. I just think it ll no 62 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,520 Speaker 1: this is HR corporate HR. I want to remind you 63 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:35,800 Speaker 1: of that, Sean. And I just think everybody would feel 64 00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:38,640 Speaker 1: a lot more comfortable this way. I don't know about that. 65 00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:42,080 Speaker 1: I'm not comfortable right now. Okay, I hear you, Sean. 66 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:44,000 Speaker 1: How about this? Going to move on to the next 67 00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:48,360 Speaker 1: complaint we received? There's another. Yes, I hate to say it, 68 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:51,520 Speaker 1: but last Tuesday we received a complaint about an email 69 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:54,320 Speaker 1: you sent to an employee asking if they could quote 70 00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:59,200 Speaker 1: meet for a meeting at ten am the following morning. Yeah, okay, 71 00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:01,840 Speaker 1: so what's the probably that one? I don't how is 72 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:05,720 Speaker 1: that offensive? Well? Ten am is that employee's normal snack time. 73 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:09,960 Speaker 1: And they said you knew that? What I didn't know? 74 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:14,080 Speaker 1: I am so confused right now. I'd watch it, Sean. 75 00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:17,400 Speaker 1: They are hyperglycemic, so they thought by you trying to 76 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:21,000 Speaker 1: schedule a meeting at ten am, that's suggesting you hope 77 00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:26,480 Speaker 1: they fall ill. What. I would never think that, you know. 78 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:29,520 Speaker 1: I believe. I believe you. I do, Sean, and I 79 00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:31,880 Speaker 1: hear you getting upset. I'm just trying to work with 80 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:35,359 Speaker 1: you to manage this. Okay. I really don't understand what 81 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,720 Speaker 1: we're managing. Listen, we don't want to be attacking people's 82 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:42,600 Speaker 1: medical history. Oh, so instead, we're going to have you 83 00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:46,400 Speaker 1: call out a medical issue you have first, so you 84 00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:48,840 Speaker 1: can schedule the meeting around that, so you know they 85 00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:51,520 Speaker 1: can feel sorry for you. Why would I say that? 86 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:55,560 Speaker 1: First of all, my medical history is supposed to be confidential. 87 00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:57,800 Speaker 1: I shouldn't have to share that with anyone. I understand 88 00:04:57,839 --> 00:04:59,919 Speaker 1: what you're saying, Sean. It's not your real medical history. 89 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:01,960 Speaker 1: We're not asking you to divulge that. It's just to 90 00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:05,600 Speaker 1: make them feel better about themselves. So let maybe lupus asthma. 91 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:08,600 Speaker 1: I mean, even if you don't have it, you want 92 00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:11,800 Speaker 1: sympathy so that that way they don't hate you, they 93 00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:14,279 Speaker 1: just feel sorry for you. You want my co workers 94 00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:17,200 Speaker 1: to feel sorry for me. Vitamin C deficiency is at 95 00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:20,120 Speaker 1: an option? You want meeting? Email my co workers and 96 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:25,920 Speaker 1: tell them I have scurby. No, actually I don't. I 97 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:29,120 Speaker 1: don't email your co workers that tell them that at all. 98 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:32,400 Speaker 1: Then what the hell is going on? This is a joke. 99 00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:35,800 Speaker 1: I'm so sorry. My name is actually Broke. Through the 100 00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:37,760 Speaker 1: radio show Broke and Jeffrey in the morning, we're doing 101 00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:42,160 Speaker 1: a phone tap on you. I knew I knew something 102 00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:47,839 Speaker 1: was going on saying I could not keep it together. Oh, 103 00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:50,840 Speaker 1: your employee Zach and James set you up to congratulate 104 00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:53,839 Speaker 1: you on your five year anniversary. I work with some 105 00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:57,960 Speaker 1: bleeding hearts, but this was too much. Well, I just 106 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:01,240 Speaker 1: would say, you know, when you're scheduling your celebration cake, 107 00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:04,440 Speaker 1: make sure you do it around their snack time.
