<v Speaker 1>and Frooms catch up podcast.

0:00:07.600 --> 0:00:09.640
<v Speaker 2>Welcome back to Flex and Rooms and FLEXI I have

0:00:09.680 --> 0:00:11.640
<v Speaker 2>a love line for you if you've just tuned into

0:00:11.640 --> 0:00:14.960
<v Speaker 2>the Flex and Froom Show. Every few days we come

0:00:15.000 --> 0:00:19.479
<v Speaker 2>to the table with a situationship, a relationship issue, or

0:00:19.480 --> 0:00:21.480
<v Speaker 2>perhaps a how do I say.

0:00:21.400 --> 0:00:25.480
<v Speaker 1>Relationship in trauma? In trauma? Yeah? In trauma? Yeah yeah,

0:00:25.520 --> 0:00:27.160
<v Speaker 1>that's skin cells and trauma, same vibe.

0:00:27.240 --> 0:00:28.200
<v Speaker 2>Is that like cancer?

0:00:29.000 --> 0:00:30.400
<v Speaker 1>I guess of the relationship?

0:00:30.600 --> 0:00:33.959
<v Speaker 2>All right, here goes I think I'm getting fired, And

0:00:34.000 --> 0:00:36.480
<v Speaker 2>then they follow up with I am madly in love

0:00:36.520 --> 0:00:39.199
<v Speaker 2>with my boss, but I know it's wrong. I've never

0:00:39.240 --> 0:00:42.199
<v Speaker 2>told him, and I don't think anyone in the office knows. However,

0:00:42.600 --> 0:00:44.800
<v Speaker 2>I was messaging my best friend about how sexy my

0:00:44.840 --> 0:00:47.400
<v Speaker 2>boss looks today with a haircut, and how if he

0:00:47.479 --> 0:00:49.720
<v Speaker 2>wasn't my boss I jump his bones? And then I

0:00:49.760 --> 0:00:52.120
<v Speaker 2>went into a zoom meeting with my entire team where

0:00:52.120 --> 0:00:54.080
<v Speaker 2>I had to share my screen and what popped up

0:00:54.280 --> 0:00:56.440
<v Speaker 2>and the message to my friend for everyone to see.

0:00:56.880 --> 0:00:59.440
<v Speaker 2>I ran out of the meeting and drove home in embarrassment.

0:00:59.840 --> 0:01:03.040
<v Speaker 2>Is it's so wrong to be in love with your boss. Wow,

0:01:03.920 --> 0:01:05.560
<v Speaker 2>let's sit. Never think about this one. I want to

0:01:05.560 --> 0:01:07.800
<v Speaker 2>reply seriously, I want to be serious.

0:01:08.640 --> 0:01:12.960
<v Speaker 1>Into employee dating. Let's get into it. Let's get into it.

0:01:13.240 --> 0:01:14.039
<v Speaker 1>Have I dabbled.

0:01:14.080 --> 0:01:17.640
<v Speaker 3>It's hard when you're a creative freelancer because realistically they're

0:01:17.680 --> 0:01:19.039
<v Speaker 3>all your peers, and.

0:01:18.959 --> 0:01:21.759
<v Speaker 1>So in that case I have, I have dabbled.

0:01:22.160 --> 0:01:27.120
<v Speaker 3>Would I date my a boss, Yeah, I'd do it,

0:01:28.120 --> 0:01:31.920
<v Speaker 3>but only if I was a contractor, true, or if

0:01:31.959 --> 0:01:35.280
<v Speaker 3>I was senior management. Would never do it if I

0:01:35.360 --> 0:01:42.280
<v Speaker 3>was middle management or what do you call runt yo? Yeah,

0:01:42.319 --> 0:01:44.960
<v Speaker 3>whatever that is because I feel like the stakes are

0:01:45.000 --> 0:01:47.360
<v Speaker 3>high for both of you in an equal way when

0:01:47.360 --> 0:01:49.640
<v Speaker 3>you're both seeing your management, you know, or when you're

0:01:49.640 --> 0:01:50.240
<v Speaker 3>a freelancer.

0:01:50.280 --> 0:01:51.960
<v Speaker 1>Okay, it doesn't work. I'm leaving anyway.

0:01:52.040 --> 0:01:54.240
<v Speaker 3>Right, I'm a contractor, the contracts are. But if you're

0:01:54.280 --> 0:01:56.960
<v Speaker 3>just a regular employee, get off it definitely still pine

0:01:57.000 --> 0:01:57.600
<v Speaker 3>after them though.

0:01:57.640 --> 0:01:59.840
<v Speaker 1>That's fun. To keep you young, I think if.

0:01:59.680 --> 0:02:04.880
<v Speaker 2>You will the youngest person in the business of legal edge.

0:02:05.360 --> 0:02:07.640
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but also that it's a trap. Trap for everyone

0:02:07.720 --> 0:02:08.400
<v Speaker 1>is everyone.

0:02:08.480 --> 0:02:10.680
<v Speaker 3>You're the youngest person in the business, you need to

0:02:10.760 --> 0:02:13.840
<v Speaker 3>mind your business. You need to pretend that nobody's ever

0:02:13.880 --> 0:02:17.960
<v Speaker 3>acknowledging you, because you'll always be the scapegoat if you're

0:02:18.000 --> 0:02:21.280
<v Speaker 3>the youngest person or the person with the least complex role,

0:02:21.560 --> 0:02:22.200
<v Speaker 3>like the junior.

0:02:22.280 --> 0:02:23.400
<v Speaker 1>Please be safe.

0:02:23.560 --> 0:02:26.120
<v Speaker 2>But I feel like if the boss gets in on that,

0:02:26.160 --> 0:02:29.000
<v Speaker 2>then they're in quite a precarious position, seeing as they're

0:02:29.000 --> 0:02:32.160
<v Speaker 2>in power. Who's going to know when when there's a

0:02:32.160 --> 0:02:35.280
<v Speaker 2>company wide email when they are the disgruntled ex employee.

0:02:35.680 --> 0:02:37.639
<v Speaker 1>I see what we're saying. Stranger things have happened? Is

0:02:37.680 --> 0:02:39.440
<v Speaker 1>a lost Yeah? Yeah, I see what you're saying here.

0:02:39.600 --> 0:02:43.840
<v Speaker 1>All in all, definitely quit your job for sure.

0:02:44.160 --> 0:02:47.480
<v Speaker 2>First quit, have a crack in the exit meeting, have

0:02:47.560 --> 0:02:48.160
<v Speaker 2>a crack.

0:02:48.000 --> 0:02:50.720
<v Speaker 3>On company time. Okay, that's what I want to hear.

0:02:51.000 --> 0:02:54.200
<v Speaker 3>And then it doesn't work out. Quit, We'll get them fired.

0:02:54.200 --> 0:02:55.240
<v Speaker 3>Whatever you have the energy for.

0:02:56.080 --> 0:02:58.640
