Speaker 1: It is time for your brand new phone tap. It's

2
00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:05,600
Speaker 1: Brook and Jewel in the morning. And in today's brand

3
00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:07,800
Speaker 1: new phone tap, I call a woman who just told

4
00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:09,880
Speaker 1: her co workers that she's gonna leave her job that

5
00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:14,360
Speaker 1: she's been at for over four years. And unfortunately for her,

6
00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:16,960
Speaker 1: one of her best friends is also her co worker,

7
00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:19,960
Speaker 1: and she contacted me to prank her, hoping it might

8
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:24,040
Speaker 1: get her to stay. Hey, well we'll see if I'm successful.

9
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:27,240
Speaker 1: Probably not. In your brand new phone tap right now,

10
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:38,720
Speaker 1: it's another Jel phone taps on the twenties. Hello, Hi,

Speaker 1: We are so sorry to see you go. Thank you.

15
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 1: I know I know how that goes. Well, I'm calling

16
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:58,240
Speaker 1: because we need to carve out fifteen minutes on Friday,

17
00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 1: so you can come by hr for your exit interview

18
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:04,880
Speaker 1: and make sure you bring your checkbook. Okay, okay, and

19
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:08,680
Speaker 1: I'm sorry my TechBook. What do I need DEE for it? Well,

20
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 1: you know the company has a payback policy. I'm sure

21
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 1: you're very familiar with that. I'm not familiar. Oh you've

22
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:19,120
Speaker 1: never heard of our payback policy. I'm surprised. No, can

23
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:22,400
Speaker 1: you give me some more information. Yeah. Absolutely. Basically, all

24
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:25,200
Speaker 1: employees who have worked here for less than five years

25
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 1: have to payback the company for any perks that they

26
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 1: use during their time on the job. So since you've

27
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 1: only worked here four and a half years, you would

28
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:36,559
Speaker 1: fall under that umbrella. But doesn't make any sense, makes

29
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:39,679
Speaker 1: perfect sense unless I said something really confusing. I thought

30
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 1: I was pretty straightforward. No, I understood you. I just

31
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:45,400
Speaker 1: never agree to that, so I'm not I don't believe

32
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 1: that you can actually enforce that. Actually, you did agree

33
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 1: to it. You know. When you started here, you signed

34
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 1: an employment contract and the company payback policy was in there,

35
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 1: so you did agree to it. You know. I don't

36
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 1: even know what you're talking about. But there's nothing that

37
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 1: I have to repay any Oh, actually there's quite a

38
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 1: bit that you need to repay. We start with your vacations.

39
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 1: I have a paid vacation every year. Oh man, it's

40
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:12,360
Speaker 1: amazing that you were even able to hack it at

41
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 1: a job for almost five years, because you obviously well,

42
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:19,080
Speaker 1: because you obviously didn't read the fine print of your

43
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:21,640
Speaker 1: employment contract and you're still not really following along with

44
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So we're gonna need you to pay

45
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,079
Speaker 1: us back for the vacation days. And you're sick days

46
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:29,239
Speaker 1: six days, you want money for six days too. Yeah,

47
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 1: I'm not going to pay you back for any six days,

48
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:34,360
Speaker 1: any vacation days. So we're completely covered. You're going to

49
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 1: be paying us back. And we added it up and

50
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 1: the bill is eleven thousand, four hundred and sixty six

51
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 1: dollars in eighty seven thousand dollars. I'm sorry, there is

52
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 1: no way that I'm going to pay you that money.

53
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 1: You're right, there's no way you're going to pass eleven

54
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 1: thousand dollars. You're gonna pass eleven thousand, four hundred and

55
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 1: sixty sixty I'm not. I'm not going to pay you

56
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:53,640
Speaker 1: any extra money. That is that. It's unheard of. No

57
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 1: one has to pay a company back after working for them.

58
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:01,639
Speaker 1: You do? And do you remember Robin from sales? What

59
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 1: does she have to do with this? This is about me,

60
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 1: This isn't about anybody else. Well, Robin also thought that

61
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,240
Speaker 1: she didn't have to pay any money, and we had

62
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:11,920
Speaker 1: to alert the authorities. And it looks like she's about

63
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 1: a week away from serving time in prison for not

64
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 1: paying us back for her medical leave. Are you serious?

65
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 1: You are a flyball. You're gonna you're gonna go after

66
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 1: a woman for taking medical leave, you know, hip replacement,

67
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 1: SCHMIP replacement. At that point, we're not going to pay

68
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 1: for that hip replacement, SCHMIP replacement. What kind of horrible

69
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 1: person said something like that. So I'm going to hire

70
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:33,520
Speaker 1: a lawyer, and I'm going to make sure that this

71
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 1: doesn't happen to me or anybody else ever again. Okay, Well,

72
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 1: your lawyer is going to look at your employment agreement

73
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 1: and tell you that you have to pay back the money.

74
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 1: You know, if you just work for another six months

75
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 1: with us, you wouldn't have to pay anything. This is

76
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 1: unheard of, and if this was an issue, then someone

77
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 1: should have said something to me before I had to leave. Really,

78
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 1: you have three options. You pay us the money, or

79
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 1: you go to jail, or you can just work here

80
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 1: another six months then you wouldn't have to pay anything.

81
00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 1: All right, Well, you will be hearing from my lawyer.

82
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 1: We'll wait for your lawyer to call our twenty lawyers.

83
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 1: Oh it's always funny when the little person tries to

84
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 1: fight back. You know, I think this is a complete

85
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 1: bullshit that I'd rather not have lawyers involved. So if

86
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 1: we can find some kind of reasoning, if I can

87
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 1: work an extra month or something. Okay, Okay, there it is,

88
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 1: She's ready to deal. Grew you can we can find

89
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:22,119
Speaker 1: a way to end this agreement. Well, it might clear

90
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:24,159
Speaker 1: things up if you knew that this is actually Jewil

91
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,560

94
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:34,040
Speaker 1: not own? No? No, you don't owe any money. Your

95
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 1: co worker Becca set you up for a prank phone call.

96
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:37,920
Speaker 1: She told me that she's going to miss you at

97
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 1: the job and wanted me to find some way of

98
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 1: keeping you from leaving. So I guess I got a

99
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:45,159
Speaker 1: month out of you another month? Are serious? Yes, she

100
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:47,160
Speaker 1: just wanted you to stick around a little longer, So

101
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:49,040
Speaker 1: I guess you can count on you being there one

102
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:57,280
Speaker 1: more month. No way I am leaving, especially weak up
