00:10today? No sorry unfortunately he's not in the office right now. May I take a message for you?
00:22Okay perfect I will absolutely pass that message along. You have a wonderful day. All right bye-bye now.
00:38Oh hello hello what do we have here? Hi uh how you doing I'm Jamie. Jamie my friends call me
00:47Chad
00:47but you can call me anytime. All right well uh hello Chad anything I can help you with? Uh yeah
00:56actually yeah yeah you can help me by giving me your number. Are you always this forward with new
01:04employees around the office? No no no no only when they're as strikingly gorgeous and beautiful as
01:11you. I mean what can I say I see something I like I go after it I'm like I don't
01:15know the alpha male
01:16or whatever. All right well that was odd. Well it's your first day at the office you'll get used
01:27to my antics let me sort of just explain to you the pecking order here. I'm the top salesman okay
01:33and the top G the head honcho. I'm up here everybody else is down here. That's kind of how it
01:40goes. I'm
01:41like the lion of the jungle. Oh well having heard people say that you must be very proud. That's no
01:51small feat considering lions are not native to the jungle. You're a smart cookie. I like that and I also
02:03like this repartee that we got going on. I say we continue it later tonight. Where? At dinner. That's
02:10right. I make so much more money than any of these dweebs. I can take you out anywhere you want
02:14to go.
02:14Any place. You name it. Steak. We can do it. Sushi. Uh yeah. Seafood. Like sushi? It's the other
02:22kind. Yeah. Well while I appreciate the very flattering offer I will have to decline. I don't date
02:31co-workers. Besides it's against company policy. Okay company policy company schmalacy. Nobody's got to
02:39know. Plus I don't want to spread any rumors but I'm kind of up for the new regional manager position.
02:50So you know take that as you will but I'm going to be making a lot more money pretty soon.
02:56Well
02:58just chase Chad Chad uh good luck with that open position. I'm sure you would make a wonderful
03:07regional manager but if you would let me get to it I have a lot more work to get done
03:12over here to
03:13set up since it's my first day. Yeah no because it's I'm sure they're you know it's so hard to
03:17be
03:17a receptionist. It's so hard. It's not rocket science. You kind of just like send emails right
03:23like transfer calls or whatever. Okay well that was rude. Thank you. Yeah. Well I gotta go make
03:31some sales. Jamie nice meeting you. Oh hi there. Hi I'm Jamie. I'm Austin. Nice to meet you. Nice to
03:48meet
03:51you before. Oh no you know what I get that a lot. Familiar face all that. But yes it is
03:58my first day.
03:59This is my little corner of paradise. Welcome aboard. It's nice to have you on the team. It feels so
04:04good
04:04to be here. What do you do here at Griflin? Oh I'm a salesman. I've been doing it for about
04:09five years
04:09I think but I love every minute of it. I mean I truly believe in our products so I feel
04:16like it comes
04:16across when I'm speaking to my clients. Wow that's fantastic. I'm sure that they can feel that
04:21authenticity. Yeah but you know I started off as a receptionist just like yourself. You don't say.
04:28Yeah before I was a salesman this was my little corner of paradise.
04:35But you know I think the receptionist position is what makes this office run. You know that every
04:42position here in this office is important for sure but the receptionist is the first thing clients
04:46see when they walk in through these doors. And first impressions are the most important.
04:52I guess I never really thought of it that way. But you're right. I totally agree.
04:57Of course I just I just hope it wasn't anything too cheesy to say.
05:00Not at all. Are you kidding me? I really appreciate it.
05:04Well I gotta get to my station but if you have any questions any concerns please feel free to ask
05:09me.
05:09I know how hard it can be to be a new guy at work. So don't be a stranger.
05:14Thank you so much Austin. Appreciate it. No problem. Bye now.
05:20Yo. Hey man. Oh hey man. Dude how are your sales looking this quarter?
05:24Pretty good actually. I mean they're up 25% from last quarter and I'm pretty happy with the results.
05:30Dude 25%? That's like pathetic. That's wildly pathetic.
05:38God mine are like up by like 80% from last quarter. Wow. That's incredible.
05:45Dude how did you manage to get your numbers up that high?
05:47Well truth be told I did lose a couple of big accounts. Some words were exchanged over the phone.
05:54They didn't like what I was saying. But I was able to recoup those losses with a little accounting magic.
06:01You know what I mean? Uh no. I actually don't know what you mean.
06:05God I have to teach you everything. All right so here's the deal. Um basically when I make a sale
06:11right I'll log it once online and then I'll log it again over the phone. So I make twice the
06:17money
06:17two sales but doing like half the work. It's like it's genius.
06:22Dude but won't the company know if you're cheating the numbers?
06:26Oh my gosh. No way. There's no way they would find out if I'm lying about the numbers.
06:31I'm surrounded by idiots. This company isn't an idiot machine. It's powered by moron fuel. Okay?
06:38No no but seriously when I get that managerial position, regional manager, I'm just gonna sweep it
06:45under the rug. You know how it goes baby. Yeah I guess you could be right. No I am right.
06:50I am right.
06:51And things are gonna change. I'm gonna make some sweeping changes the second they make me manager.
06:57First change numero uno. I'm gonna take that sweet receptionist out for a date.
07:02Do you mean Jamie? Jamie sugar cakes. I forget her name.
07:06Dude I don't think you should be asking co-workers out on a date.
07:09Thanks. God. You are such a dweeb. You are such a dweeb. Always following the rules. Being a follower.
07:16You're not gonna get anywhere being a follower. You gotta grow some cojones. You know what I mean?
07:22Down there. Okay did you just get this notification to meet in the boardroom? Yeah I did. Well I guess
07:30they want to give me that promotion early. Which is cool because you'll get to watch.
07:36I mean I guess I could get the Audi R8 or the M3. You know or maybe the AMG C63.
07:44What do you think?
07:44Black on black? I feel like that'd look pretty good. Yeah I mean um they're all good choices.
07:52Why am I even asking you? I feel like I should just do the opposite of what you say. God.
07:57Oh hey Jamie. Hey what's up toots? Nice glasses. Nerd alert. Don't listen to me he's just kidding.
08:05Yeah but I'm not though. Could I get some coffee? Could you get me some coffee? I'm about to get
08:09promoted.
08:11Well um I'm not here for that. I'm actually here to see you get fired. What are you talking about?
08:18You're just like the dumb receptionist. Hmm sir I am not just the dumb receptionist. I'm actually the
08:25CEO of this company. Yeah my full name is Griflin. Jamie Griflin.
08:34Okay so this is a joke. This is a joke that's happening right now right in front of my very
08:40eyes
08:41because nobody would make the airhead receptionist CEO of this very important company. That just
08:48wouldn't happen. Which leads me to believe that right now I'm getting punked. You are not getting
08:53punked. This is not the magic castle. This is my company and this is real and the reality is that
08:59you are just a punk jerk salesperson who treated me like the bottom rung. From the moment you walked
09:05in today you started harassing me and in my company we do not tolerate that attitude of misogyny.
09:12You can kiss that promotion to regional manager goodbye.
09:16Okay just a quick question. I am the best salesman here so who are you going to find that's better
09:22than me to fill that position? I'm looking at him right now. Who? Me? Yes from the moment you walked
09:30in today you exuded positivity and respect. Just from our short conversation you made me feel valued,
09:38respected, excited to start my day. You cherish every position at this company and that is a quality that
09:45we need in our regional manager. Okay all right I hate to you know be that guy but who cares
09:53about
09:53feelings? Who cares about oh emotions you made me feel really good. I'm a better salesman okay. I'm a
09:59really good salesman. I'm the one that should be that regional manager. I'm the one who deserves it.
10:07Oh Chad. Yeah I had my accounting team double check your numbers and it is quite obvious you've been
10:14lying about your sales. So not only is Austin our most dignified and respectable candidate he's our top
10:23salesperson as well. Okay well you know what in that case I quit yeah didn't want to work here anyway
10:33and it's called accounting magic it's not called lying about the numbers just so you know.
10:39Hi Chad. What do you say? Can you uh handle the promotion? Yes I won't let you down. I'm sure
10:48you won't.
