3
00:00:18,469 --> 00:00:20,549
Speaker 1: bride is potentially getting sacked because there's something to do

00:00:20,628 --> 00:00:21,869
Speaker 1: with a wedding very shortly.

5
00:00:22,069 --> 00:00:25,269
Speaker 2: But right now, thirteen one oh sixty five is our number.

6
00:00:26,149 --> 00:00:31,509
Speaker 2: If you work in HR human is it Human relations.

7
00:00:31,069 --> 00:00:32,469
Speaker 3: Or is it a human resources?

8
00:00:33,028 --> 00:00:34,989
Speaker 2: So they deal with all the all the complaints and

9
00:00:34,989 --> 00:00:35,869
Speaker 2: stuff within a world.

10
00:00:36,149 --> 00:00:39,789
Speaker 3: It's even called HR much all these days. No experience

11
00:00:39,829 --> 00:00:40,548
Speaker 3: with them, but.

12
00:00:40,668 --> 00:00:45,549
Speaker 2: HR deal with they do with complaints and inappropriate activities. Yeah, sure,

13
00:00:45,748 --> 00:00:49,949
Speaker 2: all that. Anyway, if you work in HR, I call it,

14
00:00:49,989 --> 00:00:52,309
Speaker 2: don't understand it. I would like to hear from you,

15
00:00:52,388 --> 00:00:55,709
Speaker 2: and specifically, I want to ask you what's the weirdest

16
00:00:55,749 --> 00:01:00,069
Speaker 2: complaint you've ever heard? I believe you want that's what

17
00:01:00,109 --> 00:01:02,549
Speaker 2: you're dealing with in HR. So if you can share

18
00:01:02,589 --> 00:01:04,908
Speaker 2: the weirdest complaints you've dealt with, I'd love to hear

19
00:01:04,949 --> 00:01:08,029
Speaker 2: from you. You can remain anonymous if it's an issue

20
00:01:08,429 --> 00:01:10,869
Speaker 2: in the position, you can remain anonymous.

21
00:01:10,549 --> 00:01:12,548
Speaker 3: And earlier I think there. Yeah, there definitely is a

22
00:01:12,829 --> 00:01:17,669
Speaker 3: confidentiality element to it, so you'd hope so anyway.

23
00:01:16,989 --> 00:01:18,509
Speaker 2: Definitely well, you can keep their names out of it,

24
00:01:18,549 --> 00:01:20,349
Speaker 2: you can remain anonymous. But yeah, I would love to

25
00:01:20,349 --> 00:01:22,589
Speaker 2: hear about the weird complaints that you get. And the

26
00:01:22,629 --> 00:01:25,269
Speaker 2: reason I'm talking about it will is because this story

27
00:01:25,389 --> 00:01:30,469
Speaker 2: is it's popping off online. Effectively, There's this bride who's

28
00:01:30,509 --> 00:01:35,908
Speaker 2: in trouble at work because she's getting all these complaints

29
00:01:35,949 --> 00:01:41,589
Speaker 2: at work about her because she hasn't invited a whole

30
00:01:41,589 --> 00:01:46,069
Speaker 2: bunch of co works. So one there's one in particular

31
00:01:47,349 --> 00:01:51,629
Speaker 2: uninvited coworker who is who is very angry, and she

32
00:01:51,789 --> 00:01:55,069
Speaker 2: has said that the bride is creating a hostile environment

33
00:01:55,949 --> 00:01:59,429
Speaker 2: at work by not inviting her on the half of

34
00:01:59,469 --> 00:02:02,029
Speaker 2: them or inviting nine.

35
00:02:02,029 --> 00:02:03,589
Speaker 3: Is we run into trouble?

36
00:02:03,629 --> 00:02:06,629
Speaker 2: Well, so obviously I've got married late last year and just.

37
00:02:06,989 --> 00:02:13,308
Speaker 3: Everyone, but well not well everyone, the tech team, the cleaners, everyone.

38
00:02:13,309 --> 00:02:17,069
Speaker 2: Had a great relationship with the was coming. I invited

39
00:02:17,109 --> 00:02:21,389
Speaker 2: everything beautiful in our direct team. But I did think

40
00:02:21,429 --> 00:02:24,149
Speaker 2: it was interesting that like, should I have invited my boss?

41
00:02:26,309 --> 00:02:28,909
Speaker 3: I'm pretty sure I had.

42
00:02:28,629 --> 00:02:31,189
Speaker 2: I had the conversation with Pooye where I was like,

43
00:02:31,749 --> 00:02:35,149
Speaker 2: do you think dB would would want to be invited

44
00:02:36,189 --> 00:02:38,789
Speaker 2: to the wedding? Did he want to be well we

45
00:02:38,789 --> 00:02:41,788
Speaker 2: we we run it past never how can I run

46
00:02:41,829 --> 00:02:42,349
Speaker 2: it past him?

47
00:02:42,309 --> 00:02:43,949
Speaker 3: I don't think you wanted to go?

48
00:02:44,109 --> 00:02:45,989
Speaker 2: Okay, well that's what that's what that's what poo he said.

49
00:02:46,029 --> 00:02:47,869
Speaker 2: Poo he said he doesn't want to come to your wedding, mate,

50
00:02:48,349 --> 00:02:50,548
Speaker 2: and that kind of buried it. Anyway. I do think

51
00:02:50,549 --> 00:02:53,149
Speaker 2: that that is interesting, but that's not the topic. The

52
00:02:53,189 --> 00:02:54,349
Speaker 2: topic depends on the boss.

53
00:02:54,349 --> 00:02:56,789
Speaker 3: Though. I had bosses that would have loved to have

54
00:02:56,789 --> 00:02:58,749
Speaker 3: gone to weddings. Sure to your wedding.

55
00:02:58,869 --> 00:03:01,029
Speaker 2: Sure are we going to name them?

56
00:03:01,229 --> 00:03:02,909
Speaker 3: I think Tony would have liked an invite when he.

57
00:03:02,869 --> 00:03:05,389
Speaker 2: Was around, Well he was at that at the time.

58
00:03:05,469 --> 00:03:09,629
Speaker 2: At that time he was still around. He wasn't invited anyway.

59
00:03:11,229 --> 00:03:14,589
Speaker 2: Thirteen one oh sixty five is the number. If he's

60
00:03:14,629 --> 00:03:17,909
Speaker 2: called different Tony, I imagine that. Surely this isn't Tony

61
00:03:17,949 --> 00:03:18,668
Speaker 2: my boss, is it.

62
00:03:20,109 --> 00:03:20,709
Speaker 4: No, it's not.

63
00:03:21,149 --> 00:03:25,149
Speaker 2: Okay, Okay, we'll get sector, we'll get doing a sect. Okay,

64
00:03:25,229 --> 00:03:28,909
Speaker 2: So topic he is, imagine complaints at work. I want

65
00:03:28,909 --> 00:03:30,949
Speaker 2: to hear about the weirdest complaints that you've heard of

66
00:03:31,069 --> 00:03:33,069
Speaker 2: at work. So whether this was a complaint made about

67
00:03:33,109 --> 00:03:35,669
Speaker 2: you or you work in HR, those are the calls

68
00:03:35,669 --> 00:03:37,349
Speaker 2: I want to take Let's take Tony. Let's take Tony

69
00:03:37,389 --> 00:03:39,469
Speaker 2: before the song Tony, do you work in HR?

70
00:03:42,109 --> 00:03:42,509
Speaker 3: What you do?

71
00:03:42,629 --> 00:03:44,269
Speaker 4: And it's called people a culture?

72
00:03:44,309 --> 00:03:46,349
Speaker 3: Now? Yeah, people culture. I told you the name that

73
00:03:46,509 --> 00:03:50,469
Speaker 3: changed people, people and culture, People in culture.

74
00:03:50,189 --> 00:03:55,629
Speaker 2: People in the culture. Okay, so what people in culture?

75
00:03:55,789 --> 00:03:58,549
Speaker 2: What's the weirdest complaint that you heard in the people

76
00:03:58,549 --> 00:03:59,189
Speaker 2: and the culture?

77
00:03:59,829 --> 00:04:03,429
Speaker 5: Oh, I'm going to a name where I am so

78
00:04:03,669 --> 00:04:07,109
Speaker 5: I managed a legal team and some past three months

79
00:04:07,149 --> 00:04:09,789
Speaker 5: we've had to change the toilet for how he got

80
00:04:09,789 --> 00:04:11,109
Speaker 5: to ply to PLI and so forth.

81
00:04:11,309 --> 00:04:15,069
Speaker 4: Yes, well, I've had to go through six supplies or

82
00:04:15,109 --> 00:04:21,349
Speaker 4: toilet paper because one of the principles decided the one

83
00:04:21,469 --> 00:04:25,189
Speaker 4: ply was a little bit too course, so we went

84
00:04:25,229 --> 00:04:27,349
Speaker 4: to three ply, and then the three ply then couldn't

85
00:04:27,349 --> 00:04:30,229
Speaker 4: flush that we had all these plumbers coming in and out,

86
00:04:32,349 --> 00:04:41,068
Speaker 4: and then we went to a more biodegradable paper softer

87
00:04:41,189 --> 00:04:45,349
Speaker 4: on the bum. So that is probably probably in my

88
00:04:47,629 --> 00:04:51,389
Speaker 4: in working the industry as s PNC, that's probably topped

89
00:04:51,389 --> 00:04:51,829
Speaker 4: it for me.

90
00:04:51,988 --> 00:04:53,709
Speaker 3: How did you bring it up with you? Tiny like

91
00:04:53,789 --> 00:04:56,748
Speaker 3: the because he said he's a principal, so he's a partner.

92
00:04:57,029 --> 00:04:59,988
Speaker 3: So he comes and sits down and how did that conversation?

93
00:05:01,349 --> 00:05:05,068
Speaker 4: It was not just the principle, there a few others

94
00:05:05,109 --> 00:05:07,669
Speaker 4: that I said. That was two course. So I said,

95
00:05:07,669 --> 00:05:10,549
Speaker 4: all right, so did submit sit down facilities and listening

96
00:05:10,549 --> 00:05:10,829
Speaker 4: to guys?

97
00:05:12,109 --> 00:05:17,109
Speaker 2: Investigation? Investigation? Did you put together a crack team? Mind

98
00:05:17,109 --> 00:05:17,709
Speaker 2: the fun.

99
00:05:19,149 --> 00:05:23,469
Speaker 4: I've seen the team of interns, because that's what you

102
00:05:28,509 --> 00:05:32,749
Speaker 2: Just some beta toilet paper testing. That's that's three roles.

00:05:32,789 --> 00:05:33,549

Speaker 3: No?

132
00:06:50,149 --> 00:06:52,189
Speaker 6: Not at all. I just kept doing what I was doing.

133
00:06:52,749 --> 00:06:55,149
Speaker 2: How much were you doing? Was it giving foot rubs

134
00:06:55,189 --> 00:06:56,909
Speaker 2: and like making treats?

135
00:06:56,949 --> 00:07:01,669
Speaker 4: Like was it just usual just making her comfortably.

136
00:07:01,349 --> 00:07:05,868
Speaker 3: Looking after doing your job? I can't, for the life

137
00:07:05,869 --> 00:07:07,029
Speaker 3: of me figure out what's wrong with that.

138
00:07:07,749 --> 00:07:09,669
Speaker 2: Obviously, it's an issue you for the daughter there that

139
00:07:10,109 --> 00:07:15,869
Speaker 2: Kelly set the bar so high that she if she's

140
00:07:15,869 --> 00:07:20,589
Speaker 2: given foot rubs for example, and for example, it's a neglectful.

141
00:07:20,949 --> 00:07:22,669
Speaker 2: So my dad comes home from Hsbital and it's like,

142
00:07:23,429 --> 00:07:25,549
Speaker 2: was giving me a foot rub every day? But I

00:07:27,029 --> 00:07:29,069
Speaker 3: You'd be going people in culture at the hospital.

145
00:07:31,229 --> 00:07:32,909
Speaker 2: Rub And I'm definitely not saying that Kelly was giving

146
00:07:32,909 --> 00:07:34,509
Speaker 2: the foot rubs there. I think she said that she

147
00:07:34,549 --> 00:07:37,029
Speaker 2: was just giving custard. I might have misheard her. Now

Speaker 6: the basin and and what was the reason for that

175
00:09:08,828 --> 00:09:13,189
Speaker 6: end And he said, well he saw a prostitute at lunchtime.

176
00:09:14,029 --> 00:09:16,268
Speaker 2: Whoah, God, that's honest.

177
00:09:16,868 --> 00:09:18,708
Speaker 3: Whoa what do you do with that?

178
00:09:21,268 --> 00:09:26,949
Speaker 6: Well? I would have probably sacked him, but okay, he wasn't.

179
00:09:27,348 --> 00:09:28,189
Speaker 6: He stayed on.

180
00:09:28,588 --> 00:09:30,468
Speaker 2: So he stayed sorry.

181
00:09:30,348 --> 00:09:34,628
Speaker 3: You told you told management And they were like, well,

182
00:09:34,669 --> 00:09:37,509
Speaker 3: that's that's not against company policy.

183
00:09:39,108 --> 00:09:42,748
Speaker 2: Yes, oh so does he does he? I'm not sure

184
00:09:42,789 --> 00:09:45,028
Speaker 2: if you're across his information, but so is he continuing

185
00:09:45,069 --> 00:09:47,189
Speaker 2: to do the thing that he does.

186
00:09:47,309 --> 00:09:49,949
Speaker 6: I don't work there anymore. He doesn't work there anymore.

187
00:09:50,069 --> 00:09:54,989
Speaker 6: Before many years ago, but a very memorable story.

188
00:09:55,228 --> 00:09:58,348
Speaker 3: Yeah, was he ducked out to see them, Like he

189
00:09:58,348 --> 00:09:58,828
Speaker 3: didn't see that.

190
00:09:58,868 --> 00:10:01,669
Speaker 6: He ducked out. He ducked out. It was his lunchtime.

191
00:10:01,708 --> 00:10:04,268
Speaker 6: He didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

192
00:10:04,268 --> 00:10:06,828
Speaker 3: It does raise an interesting question, doesn't it, Like, well,

193
00:10:06,909 --> 00:10:09,309
Speaker 3: I mean, ultimately, what someone does in there private life

194
00:10:09,429 --> 00:10:12,509
Speaker 3: outside of work, you start to getting into discrimination areas there.

195
00:10:12,508 --> 00:10:13,309
Speaker 3: Because he hasn't.

196
00:10:13,108 --> 00:10:14,708
Speaker 2: Anything illegal that I think he needs to go to

197
00:10:14,748 --> 00:10:17,749
Speaker 2: a public basin. Then he's bringing it to the workplace

198
00:10:17,789 --> 00:10:18,708
Speaker 2: when he washed.

199
00:10:19,069 --> 00:10:21,228
Speaker 3: Where do you draw the line with what somebody washes

200
00:10:21,228 --> 00:10:22,549
Speaker 3: in the workplace bathroom?

201
00:10:22,588 --> 00:10:26,069
Speaker 2: I think someone using the communal work basin to wash

202
00:10:26,508 --> 00:10:29,949
Speaker 2: the downstairs. I think that crosses the line. Yeah, I

203
00:10:29,949 --> 00:10:32,468
Speaker 2: think Maca's toilet.

204
00:10:32,069 --> 00:10:34,388
Speaker 3: And goings has got to deal with it.

205
00:10:34,828 --> 00:10:35,149
Speaker 2: Maas.

206
00:10:35,789 --> 00:10:37,989
Speaker 3: Let me just ask you anonymous though, so like obviously,

207
00:10:38,069 --> 00:10:40,108
Speaker 3: like legally, you've got an issue there, right, because if

208
00:10:40,149 --> 00:10:42,828
Speaker 3: you start saying to him, you know you can't do

209
00:10:42,868 --> 00:10:44,429
Speaker 3: this in that in your workplace, then he goes, will

210
00:10:44,429 --> 00:10:46,988
Speaker 3: you discriminating against me for my choice is outside of work?

211
00:10:47,669 --> 00:10:51,109
Speaker 6: Mm hmm. That that didn't happen. We didn't get that far.

212
00:10:52,029 --> 00:10:56,269
Speaker 6: He just yep, it was just well, it was a

213
00:10:56,309 --> 00:10:58,708
Speaker 6: mistake and we'll put it behind us and we won't

214
00:10:58,708 --> 00:11:01,628
Speaker 6: see you in that bathroom with anything in the basin

215
00:11:01,669 --> 00:11:03,108
Speaker 6: every again, Is that correct?

216
00:11:03,309 --> 00:11:03,549
Speaker 4: Yes?

217
00:11:04,429 --> 00:11:06,509
Speaker 2: All right? Okay, so he did agree to stop washing

218
00:11:06,549 --> 00:11:11,868
Speaker 2: in the wall. Wait, why do you try to use

219
00:11:11,909 --> 00:11:14,108
Speaker 2: the head drawer often
