1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:01,720
Speaker 1: I didn't go the extra mile at work.

2
00:00:01,840 --> 00:00:04,880
Speaker 2: Huh, Well, now I'll be deleting all your files and

3
00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:06,080
Speaker 2: destroying your company.

4
00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:10,680
Speaker 3: Okayop, this is OKAYOP. I'm Samuel Donner and I'm John Fry,

5
00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:11,000
Speaker 3: and we.

6
00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:14,400
Speaker 1: Tell the stories on the internet, so same.

7
00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:17,639
Speaker 2: I'm curious, have you ever accidentally deleted a file that

8
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:21,239
Speaker 2: you didn't mean to? I, like most people, I think

9
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:24,240
Speaker 2: have definitely deleted their fair share of files.

10
00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:30,160
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, but there is no f up like Pixar.

11
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:32,800
Speaker 1: Pixar Toy Story two.

12
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:36,960
Speaker 3: They were like, there was some back in like the

13
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:39,199
Speaker 3: good old days, used to like type commands into the

14
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 3: computer like people blah, No, icons know nothing, just straight

15
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:47,200
Speaker 3: and straight code and if you typed in the wrong code,

16
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:51,640
Speaker 3: bad things will happen. And someone accidentally typed in like

17
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:59,040
Speaker 3: like star slash delete and it deleted the entire Toy

18
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 3: Story two project file that everyone was using, which essentially

19
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:09,120
Speaker 3: meant that no one had access to the Toy Story movie.

20
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:12,120
Speaker 3: And they were like, holy crap, like, what are we

21
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 3: going to do? This is like years of work for real.

22
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 3: But luckily they had a woman who was on maternity

23
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:22,720
Speaker 3: leave and she was the only person that had backed

24
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 3: up the project. Files to another her home computer because

25
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:30,759
Speaker 3: she had to work from home because of maternity leave,

26
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 3: and so luckily she had everything there and they only

27
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:39,039
Speaker 3: lost two weeks worth of work instead of years and

28
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:39,680
Speaker 3: years and years.

29
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, that would just be so insane. If

30
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 2: I was that guy, I would probably be deleted. I

31
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 2: would I would delete myself.

32
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, I quit on the spot.

33
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 3: A go to Bermuda, because not only are you liable

34
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 3: for your job, but like hundreds and millions of dollars

35
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 3: of like production. Yeah, you'd probably be blackballed for making

36
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 3: every again in your life.

37
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 1: Oh tragic.

38
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 2: Well, I have a story today where someone else deleted

39
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:08,520
Speaker 2: some files. But it wasn't no accident.

40
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 1: It won with no accident. Oh crap, sabotage. I didn't

41
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:15,079
Speaker 1: go the extra mile at work. Huh.

42
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 2: Well, now I'll be deleting all your files and destroying

43
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:18,799
Speaker 2: your company.

44
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 3: Damn, going the extra mile, but in reverse destruction to destruction.

45
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 3: So the original owner of the business I worked for

46
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 3: was amazing.

47
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:32,079
Speaker 1: I'll call him Larry. Larry love a Larry love a

48
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:32,920
Speaker 1: Larry Baby.

49
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 2: He cared about every employee and realized how much we

50
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 2: helped the company with our respective positions. He'd even let

51
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:41,800
Speaker 2: me go over on my sick time once when I

52
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 2: was hospitalized for a week for something really awful, and

53
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:48,080
Speaker 2: the agreement was I would work the time back, which

54
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 2: I did. Just painting a picture of how wonderful Larry.

55
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 1: Was as our boss.

56
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 2: Now. Larry finally retired after forty five years of running

57
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 2: the business and sold it to his son, who I'll

58
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:00,399
Speaker 2: call Eric.

59
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:05,519
Speaker 1: Eric gotta be a wreck, I can already tell. Oh,

60
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 1: it's in the name.

61
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 2: Most people know how bad an idea that is, selling

62
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 2: a company to your son. But Larry thought his son

63
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:17,080
Speaker 2: could handle it. He couldn't at first, but that's another story.

64
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 2: Eric thought I wasn't doing enough during the working hours

65
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 2: office job, dealing with inventory coming into the retail store,

66
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 2: et cetera. But what he failed to realize was that

67
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 2: since I worked there for up to six years, I

68
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 2: got really familiar with the work and I was really

69
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 2: efficient at the job, which like makes a lot of sense.

70
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, Like, if you have the if you have the experience,

71
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 3: it's gonna make you faster at the job.

72
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 1: So you should be punished for that.

73
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it's literally punishing productivity.

74
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, ridiculous.

75
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 3: No, it should be all work should be task based

76
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 3: and not hourly one percent.

77
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 1: That's my thoughts. Well, I agree with your thoughts, sir,

78
00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 1: Thank you.

79
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 2: Now I got so efficient that I had collected more

80
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 2: responsibilities every single year. Larry was one of the main

81
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 2: people pushing for me to take on more each year,

82
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 2: with immediate raises every time something was added. Great love

83
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:18,479
Speaker 2: that Eric did not share this mentality. Oh no, Eric

84
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 2: ended up firing me for being inactive during the work day.

85
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 3: What Eric fired the op And I've always been worrying

86
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:28,360
Speaker 3: there for six years.

87
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:33,599
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's ridiculous me. He had some sort of say

88
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:34,840
Speaker 2: say what bad move?

89
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:35,679
Speaker 1: Bad move?

90
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 2: He had some sort of tracker on my computer to

91
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:40,920
Speaker 2: see how often my mouse moved or when I was

92
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:44,040
Speaker 2: using my keyboard. But the thing was a lot of

93
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 2: my duties were away from the computer, so it wasn't

94
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 2: a good way to track my activity. God, and there

95
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 2: was something else pretty major too. I've also struggled with

96
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 2: intermittent depression for most of my life. There was a

97
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:59,599
Speaker 2: boyfriend who I had who exacerbated the problem, but I

98
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 2: didn't recognize.

99
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:00,920
Speaker 1: It back then.

100
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:04,720
Speaker 2: He literally cheated on me, left me, and then his

101
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:07,920
Speaker 2: new girlfriend started harassing me through his social media. Can

102
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:13,040
Speaker 2: you imagine like terrible? Eventually I broke down and went

103
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 2: to a state facility for three days. I got a

104
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 2: diagnosis of bipolar type two while I was there. I

105
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 2: returned to work and now was on medication, which luckily

106
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:26,040
Speaker 2: helped my mood swings immensely. So it looks like there

107
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 2: was at least some yeah, good account of the situation exactly.

108
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 2: I told Eric, the new owner, about it, and we

109
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 2: discussed how to move forward with his information. I thought

110
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:39,160
Speaker 2: he'd be understanding since his brother suffered from debilitating depression.

111
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 1: I was wrong.

112
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 2: Now it can take a few years to get the

113
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,880
Speaker 2: dosage right for my medication, which I told the owner.

114
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 2: I was still experiencing some mood swings. They were much

115
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 2: more mild than before the medication. I still had lots

116
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 2: of mornings where I wasn't in a good mood, and

117
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:55,839
Speaker 2: it doesn't help that I'm not a morning person. The

118
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 2: owner talks to me about my attitude once, and I

119
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 2: explained about my medication, but I also put in more

120
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 2: effort into not being as abrasive in the mornings. I

121
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:05,920
Speaker 2: thought I was doing really well, and then they hired

122
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:10,600
Speaker 2: a new office manager. Now this manager had no business

123
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:13,919
Speaker 2: being in this position. He literally lied about his degree

124
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:16,280
Speaker 2: and work experience just to get the job.

125
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 1: How how did they not find out?

126
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 2: Dude, That's what I'm wondering, Like, do they really like

127
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 2: not check reference references like that?

128
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:25,479
Speaker 1: Like that's horrendous.

129
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 3: I think a lot of actually, I think a lot

130
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:30,800
Speaker 3: of jobs actually don't check. Yeah, yeah, a lot of it.

131
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:31,840
Speaker 3: It's the honor system.

132
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:34,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, unless you're like, like like a big company.

133
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 2: Yeah.

134
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 1: But even sometimes at a big company, they don't even

135
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 1: a check.

136
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:42,600
Speaker 2: I believe it. So, Uh, be honest to be honest guys, maybe,

137
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 2: or or be dishonest and get a job.

138
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:46,720
Speaker 1: Uh.

139
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 2: This person decided that because I didn't talk much in

140
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:52,159
Speaker 2: the mornings, I must be a terrible person with an

141
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:53,159
Speaker 2: awful attitude.

142
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:56,279
Speaker 1: What I know, Uh, this guy's just not a morning person.

143
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:56,680
Speaker 1: I know.

144
00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 2: They complained to the owner Eric almost daily, which I

145
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 2: didn't find out about until later. After the manager complained

146
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 2: for almost a month straight, I got pulled into a

147
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:08,920
Speaker 2: meeting with him. He said that I wasn't doing enough

148
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 2: work during the day and that we had previously talked

149
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 2: about my attitude. Oh no, I reminded him once again,

150
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 2: I had a medication change a couple months ago before

151
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 2: this and was still getting it all figured out. He said,

152
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 2: and direct quote, we don't know who you're going to

153
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 2: be each morning because of my condition.

154
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 1: How do you actually like manage that as an employer though?

155
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 1: Like if your employee is is you know, has bipolar disorder,

156
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 1: and like your customer service job, like how do you

157
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 1: like like if they do actually have big mood swings, like,

158
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 1: how do you how does that work?

159
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 2: I don't know if this person was customer facing, but

160
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 2: I could see it being the case where it's like,

161
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 2: imagine you have someone working for you for six years

162
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 2: that knows the in and outs of everything. I imagine

163
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 2: that probably especially with someone like Larry. Larry's like okay,

164
00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 2: this like way over compensates for you know, maybe the

165
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 2: adjustments and like the X he had a.

166
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 1: Couple of months need to do. Yeah.

167
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, so because of my condition, he fired me, but

168
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 2: let me finish that weeks of work. Gee, thanks buddy,

169
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 2: so kind. So I was really active with my last

170
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 2: three days deleting everything I had created for the company.

171
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 2: It was all the above and beyond work I did

172
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 2: so since I didn't ever go above and beyond, I

173
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 2: figured they did.

174
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 1: Deserve to keep it.

175
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 2: It was for signs, products, pictures gathered for advertising, vendor

176
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 2: contact information, a program that I designed to keep everything

177
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:45,640
Speaker 2: organizes and on time for invoices, and an entire instruction

178
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 2: manual on how to do my job.

179
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:50,840
Speaker 1: They had an.

180
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 2: Old version of my job instructions, but at this point

181
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 2: it was completely obsolete, especially with all the extra duties

182
00:08:57,280 --> 00:09:00,240
Speaker 2: I collected over the years. In the two years since

183
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 2: I've been gone, they've hired at least eight people for

184
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 2: my position, and every single person has quit within a

185
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:08,560
Speaker 2: few months of being hired.

186
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:10,199
Speaker 1: Hilarious.

187
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 3: Oh justice, I guess damn Hopefully Op doesn't get found

188
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:17,559
Speaker 3: out for deleting all that stuff, because like, couldn't that

189
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:20,319
Speaker 3: just be I feel like that could be Really it

190
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 3: could be a lawsuit.

191
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 2: I feel like I feel like it because they said

192
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:25,680
Speaker 2: it was like all of their like everything they did

193
00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 2: above their job description. But I also feel like there's

194
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:30,640
Speaker 2: probably a legal case for that.

195
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe that's good. We don't know P's real name. Yeah,

196
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 3: we're not trying to write you bad, Op.

197
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, not at all.

198
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:42,520
Speaker 2: I keep getting updates every few months from one of

199
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:44,080
Speaker 2: my friends in the office, so that's how I keep

200
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 2: up to date to address some of the concerns. I

201
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:49,440
Speaker 2: did these things off the clock on my own computer,

202
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:52,679
Speaker 2: except for some advertising images that were from a past

203
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:55,840
Speaker 2: promotion and no longer valid. I never had to sign

204
00:09:56,080 --> 00:10:00,360
Speaker 2: anything away saying my intellectual property became theirs. And neither

205
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 2: the job description nor the handbook had anything on intellectual

206
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:08,200
Speaker 2: property either. So I guess that is like Opie's basis,

207
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 2: but I could I could still see it getting in

208
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:11,200
Speaker 2: some fishy waters.

209
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:15,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, and there is an update. Oh geez, update, let's

210
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 1: hear it.

211
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:18,520
Speaker 2: A couple weeks after getting fired, I received a letter

212
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 2: from unemployment. It said that I was awarded funds for discrimination.

213
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 2: I got a humongous payout from that employer, plus eight

214
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:31,840
Speaker 2: months of unemployment at seventy five percent of my wages

215
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 2: from the company. What yes, bro, Yes, I wish I

216
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 2: knew that what I had gone through was classified as discrimination,

217
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:43,440
Speaker 2: but before I thought that only physical discrimination could get

218
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 2: you something like that. I'm so grateful for the payout.

219
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 2: It carried me out until I got the new job.

220
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:51,200
Speaker 2: I'm a contractor now working for myself. I paid off

221
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 2: almost all of my debt and the rest is put

222
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:54,840
Speaker 2: into savings.

00:10:56,040 --> 00:11:00,880
