00:00 An employee just called out Corporate Natalie on TikTok for slamming them in a podcast episode.
00:06 TikToker Corporate Natalie recently started a podcast called Demoted, where she and her
00:11 co-host discuss corporate work and life.
00:13 In a recent episode, Corporate Natalie shared a listener-submitted anecdote where a Gen Z
00:18 co-worker said they could not make it to a meeting because they had a workout class.
00:22 When asked to come in for an 8am meeting, my Gen Z new hire said, "Ugh, sorry, I can't
00:25 make it.
00:26 I have a workout class."
00:27 My visceral reaction was, "Are you f*cking kidding me?"
00:29 I was like, fully, like, angered, typing this out.
00:31 I was like, "Please."
00:32 Like, my hand's shaking and it's not from the caffeine.
00:34 You just started this job.
00:36 I don't give a flying sh*t about your workout class.
00:38 Also, an 8am workout class is too late.
00:39 Workout at 6, maybe 7.
00:41 This worker was Alexandre Evidente, and after coming across the clip, he pushed back online,
00:46 telling his side of the story.
00:48 Hi, yeah, Natalie.
00:49 So we can talk about this more later, but I'm gonna address this now.
00:52 It was made very clear during the interview process that the working hours for this position
00:58 is between 9 to 5pm ET, and I am on ET.
01:02 I made that very clear with HR because I have commitments outside of work.
01:06 Sure, I can make a sacrifice to go to an 8am meeting had I known at least a week before
01:11 that I needed to go at 8am, not a day before.
01:14 Okay, let's just say I skipped the gym.
01:15 Two things.
01:16 When can I expect you to reimburse me for my class?
01:18 And two, are you gonna be paying me from 8am to 9am, or at the very least, let me leave
01:23 at 4pm?
01:24 Natalie, if your answer to both of those are no, then there's no discussion needed.
01:28 I will see you at 9 o'clock today.
01:30 People in the comments are largely siding with Evidente, with some previous fans of
01:34 corporate Natalie even condemning her for the podcast.
01:37 Natalie released an apology video clarifying that she is not Evidente's employer, but
01:42 TikTokers are still frustrated with her for her comments.
