00:01Grace! What is this? Another mistake? You gotta be kidding me.
00:07I didn't make any mistakes, I swear. I double-checked everything.
00:10Double-checked, Grace. You with no attention to detail if it hit you in the face.
00:14This is sloppy work and you know it. I mean, come on. Is it really that hard?
00:21I followed your instructions exactly, Tom. The report's done. All the data is there and I made the adjustments you
00:27asked for.
00:28Okay, but look at it. Does it scream professional? No! It screams, I don't know what I'm doing.
00:34I worked really hard on it. I don't think it's fair to dismiss it without even reviewing it properly.
00:40Fair? You want to talk fair? How about the fact that you're still employed and you can't handle basic tasks?
00:46This is more than just a basic task. The workload you gave me is impossible to finish in one day.
00:52Impossible for you, maybe. But I'm telling you, any of the guys on the team could have had this done
00:58by lunch.
00:58You're just dragging your feet and that's why I give you the easy stuff so you don't fall behind or
01:04fall apart.
01:05It's not about being easy or hard. It's about the volume of work. No one could get it done in
01:10the time constraints that you gave me.
01:13Excuses, Grace! Always excuses! You know, maybe if you spent less time overthinking everything and more time actually working, you'd
01:22keep up.
01:22But I guess that's asking too much, right?
01:24I just want a chance to prove that I can do the job.
01:27Okay. Yeah, I'm sure you do. But let's be real. You've been here for how long? And we're still having
01:34this conversation.
01:36It's just not clicking for you. Maybe corporate isn't your thing. I don't know. Maybe something more fitting for you
01:42would be better.
01:43Fitting? What's that supposed to mean?
01:46You know what it means. You're in over your head. Maybe take a step back. Think about whether you're really
01:52cut out for this kind of thing.
01:53Most women aren't. It's not a crime. It's just a reality.
01:57This isn't fair. I've worked just as hard as anybody else on this team.
02:01Sure you have. But effort doesn't always equal results, does it?
02:06I'll tell you what. Why don't you finish this up, if you can, and we'll see if maybe, just maybe,
02:13you manage not to embarrass yourself this time.
02:17I'll get it done.
02:18Yeah, you do that.
02:21Yeah, you do that!
02:28Wow. This is a lot worse than I thought.
02:33Excuse me. Tom, right?
02:36Yeah, that's me. What do you want?
02:38I was just wondering if we could talk for a minute. I saw how you handled the situation with your
02:44employee earlier.
02:45Oh, you mean Grace. Yeah, she's a real piece of work, I swear. Every day is something new with her.
02:53And it doesn't matter how simple the task is, she finds a way to mess it up. But hey, you
02:58know how it is. Women in the office. What can you do?
03:02I'm sorry? Women in the office? Yeah. You know what I mean? Come on. They always need more time, more
03:08guidance. It's like babysitting half the time. I don't know how they expect to make it in this industry when
03:14they can't handle even basic tasks.
03:17What makes you say that? Don't you think maybe she has a lot on her plate? As a woman, I
03:23-
03:23Oh, please. If I gave her half the workload I give the guys, she'd still be behind. Trust me. I've
03:30been in this business a long time. Enough to know the type. Some people just aren't built for this kind
03:36of work. And Grace, she's one of them.
03:39And you really believe that's just because she's a woman? Well, yeah. I mean, look, I'm not trying to be
03:45rude, but facts are facts. Women just don't have the same drive. They get emotional. They overthink. They take forever
03:54to finish whatever should be a quick task. Honestly, I don't know why the higher ups even bother hiring them
04:01sometimes.
04:02So, you're saying you don't think women are capable of handling the same workload as men?
04:07Exactly. Look, you're probably great at your job as, you know, a janitor. Cooking, cleaning. You know, that comes naturally
04:15to you guys. I mean, I'm sure you're great at other things. Planning events. You know, making things look nice.
04:22You know, that kind of stuff. But when it comes to this kind of work, it's not for you girls.
04:27Trust me. I've tried. It's just not happening.
04:30You really believe that's just how things are? Oh, absolutely. It's how you women are wired. They're not built for
04:37this kind of pressure. It's the same story every time.
04:41And that's why you're so hard on her. Exactly. Hey, someone's got to be. Otherwise, she'll just keep falling behind.
04:49We've got real work to do here. And if she can't handle it, that's not my problem. I'm just trying
04:54to keep the team running smoothly.
04:56And you think belittling her is the way to do that? Belittling? Come on. I'm just giving her a reality
05:02check she needs. If I sugarcoat everything, she's not going to improve. Sometimes you just gotta be tough. And if
05:08she can't take it, maybe she should think about another career. I'm just being honest.
05:14Here are the drawings you asked for, Tom. I've made all the adjustments and I double checked everything just like
05:22you wanted.
05:22Yeah. Sure. I'm going to look at them later. And don't expect any praise, Grace. It's probably full of mistakes,
05:28just like the last one.
05:30I made sure I was accurate this time. I really worked hard on this.
05:34Yeah. I am sure it's still not good enough. I'll get to it when I can.
05:39May I?
05:39What? What do you care? They're just a bunch of drawings.
05:52These are excellent, Grace. You've got real talent.
05:56Thank you. I wasn't sure if I had done it good enough.
06:00Oh, they're more than good enough. They show creativity, precision, attention to detail. This is exactly what the company needs.
06:07Uh, hold on. They're not that great. I mean, they're fine for a beginner, but...
06:13Actually, no. These are better than fine. These are the kind of designs we should be celebrating.
06:19Grace has done incredible work here. And instead of acknowledging her efforts, you've done nothing but tear her down.
06:25Wait a second. Who do you think you are? You're just a janitor or something, right? Why do you even
06:32care about some drawings?
06:33Actually, I'm not a janitor. My name is Linda Wright. I am the CEO of this company.
06:41Wait. You're the CEO? Since when?
06:45Yes. I am the CEO. I just signed the papers this morning.
06:53All right. It's official.
06:56Congratulations, Linda. We're excited to see where you'll take the company.
06:59Thank you. I have big plans for us. But first, I want to get an honest look at how things
07:04are really running.
07:05You know, see things for myself without any filters.
07:08Of course. But you should know everything's running smoothly from what we could tell.
07:13That's exactly what I intend to make sure of. Thanks again, John. I'll report back with anything I find.
07:20Sounds great, Linda. And congratulations again.
07:22Thanks.
07:24And I've been listening to everything you've said. I've heard how you treat your employees, especially Grace here, and how
07:32you disrespect them based on nothing but your own prejudices. And I've heard enough.
07:37No, no, no, no, no, no. You got it all wrong. I was just trying to push her, you know,
07:41to make her better. You know, I didn't mean anything by it.
07:44Tough love? No, Tom. What you've shown isn't tough love. It's sexism. It's disrespect. And it has no place in
07:53this company.
07:53But I've been with this company for years. I know how things work. I've been doing this for a long
07:59time.
08:00And that's exactly the problem. You've been doing it wrong for a long time. You've held people like Grace back
08:06because of your outdated beliefs.
08:08You've created a toxic work environment. And it's time for that to change. It ends today.
08:15Wait, are you, are you firing me?
08:18Yes, Tom, I am. You're fired. And everything I've heard today will be fully documented in your termination report.
08:26You can't do this. You can't just come in here and do-
08:29Tom, it's your actions that have made me do this, not mine. You've made your choices and now you're facing
08:35the consequences. That's all there is to it.
08:38You'll regret this. Mark my words.
08:41I assure you I won't. Now leave before I call security and have you escorted out.
08:48Unbelievable. I can't believe that just happened.
08:51Oh, sweetheart. I can't wait to see you tomorrow night.
08:55How are rehearsals going? That's my girl. I know you're gonna be amazing up there.
09:01You've been working so hard on your lines.
09:04Now remember what we practiced about projecting your voice.
09:08And don't forget to have fun with it. The audience is going to love you.
09:14Yes, mommy will be there. I wouldn't miss it for the world.
09:20I should be landing by three, so I'll have plenty of time to get to the school.
09:24Good morning, sir. Welcome aboard. Is there anything I can get started for you today?
09:28Perhaps a mimosa or some fresh coffee?
09:31Oh, no, thank you. I'm all set. Everything looks perfect.
09:34Wonderful. Please do not hesitate to let me know if you need anything at all during the flight.
09:41Excuse me, I'm gonna need to see your boarding pass.
09:44I'm sorry, what?
09:46You heard me. I need to see your boarding pass and ID, please.
09:49Honey, something just came up here. Can I call you back in a few minutes?
09:53I love you too, baby. I'll call you right back, okay? Be good.
09:59I'm sorry, but why do you need to see my boarding pass? I'm already seated.
10:02Ma'am, I don't need to explain airline policy to you. I just need to see your documentation now or
10:07I'll have to call security.
10:09I don't understand. I have my boarding pass, but I don't see why I need to verify my seat when
10:14I'm clearly already sitting in first class.
10:17It's standard procedure. I don't need to give you explanations.
10:20You didn't ask him for his boarding pass.
10:22That's absolutely right. She didn't ask me for any documentation.
10:26Sir, I don't need to see your documents. Only hers.
10:29Are you asking for my documents because I'm black?
10:33Yeah, I'd like to hear the answer to that question too.
10:35This has nothing to do with race. I'm just doing my job.
10:38Then what is the real issue here?
10:39Look, if you must know, you don't have the right look for first class.
10:46What do you mean by look?
10:49You don't seem like someone who can afford to fly first class.
10:52This airline caters to a very exclusive clientele, and frankly, you don't fit the profile.
10:58So you're making an assumption about me based on my race and appearance?
11:03Fine. Think whatever you want. I still need to see your boarding pass and credit card if you want to
11:08stay in this seat.
11:13I need to verify the payment method at the gate counter. I'm not convinced this ticket was purchased legitimately.
11:19Okay, now wait just a minute. That is completely inappropriate.
11:22Sir, this doesn't concern you. Please stay in your seat.
11:25Like hell it doesn't concern me. You're accusing a paying passenger of fraud with absolutely no evidence.
11:30Expensive first class tickets are sometimes purchased with stolen credit cards. Given the circumstances, I have reasonable suspicion about how
11:39you could afford such an expensive seat.
11:42This is completely inappropriate and discriminatory. You have no right to question my ability to purchase a ticket.
11:49She's absolutely right. Leave her alone.
11:51I am going to double check anyway. Sometimes fraudulent purchases slip through our system and scammers will do anything to
11:58fight first class without paying.
12:00People try all sorts of tricks.
12:03I can't believe this is happening.
12:06I am so sorry you're having to deal with this. What she's doing is completely wrong.
12:10In 2025? I thought we were past this kind of treatment.
12:13We should be. But clearly some people haven't gotten the message.
12:18It's my daughter again. She's probably worried.
12:23Hi sweetie. No, no. Everything's okay. There's just a small delay with my seat assignment.
12:30The plane might take off a little late, but I promise I'll be there for your plate.
12:36Mommy wouldn't miss it for the world.
12:38I might be a few minutes late for my presentation tomorrow morning, but don't worry about that. That's grown-up
12:43stuff.
12:45I love you too, baby. I have to go now, but I'll see you tomorrow night. Break a leg up
12:51there.
12:54She's only eight, but she worries about me when she hears stress in my voice.
13:00Well, you handled that beautifully. You know, she's lucky to have a mom like you.
13:04I just, I hope this doesn't make me miss anything important.
13:08I have a major client presentation first thing tomorrow morning, and then her school plays tomorrow night.
13:14That's amazing. What do you do for work?
13:16I'm a marketing executive at Henderson & Associates. We're presenting a campaign to a potential client that could make or
13:26break our quarter.
13:27Well, that sounds like important work.
13:30I've, I've worked my way up from entry-level position over the past eight years.
13:35Everything I have earned through hard work and determination. I would never do anything dishonest to get ahead.
13:41No, I, I can tell. You know, and for what it's worth, you'll, you'll get through this.
13:46That flight attendant, she's ignorant and, and racist. And she's going to face consequences for her actions.
13:53Thank you for saying that. And thank you for speaking up back there. A lot of people would have just
13:59looked the other way.
14:01Well, what she's doing is just wrong. Plain and simple. I mean, you deserve to be treated with respect and
14:06dignity, just like any other passenger.
14:08You'd think that would go without saying, but apparently not everyone got that memo.
14:13Trust me. She's going to regret her behavior. You'll be at your destination on time, and she'll have to answer
14:19for what she's done here today.
14:20I hope you're right. I really need this trip to go smoothly.
14:26Here are your documents.
14:34So now will you leave me alone?
14:36Yes, I'll leave you alone. But I want to say that I still think people like you don't belong in
14:42first class.
14:43There is still something fishy about your ticket as far as I'm concerned.
14:47I still can't believe that you think you're doing your job when you're actually harassing a successful professional who worked
14:55hard for everything she has.
14:57It's 2025. People should be respectful and stop making judgments based on race and stereotypes.
15:04We're better than this.
15:06See, you're getting aggressive now. You're just proving my point about your type.
15:11Of course I'm upset. You're testing my patience by treating me like I'm a criminal for no reason other than
15:17the color of my skin.
15:19I'm completely appalled that someone like you could work for an airline.
15:24Flight attendants are supposed to serve passengers from all backgrounds and treat everyone with respect.
15:29She's absolutely right.
15:31You're narrow-minded and unprofessional, despite working in an international environment where you should be celebrating diversity, not discriminating against
15:40it.
15:41Whatever you have to say doesn't matter to me. All I'm doing is protecting my job and this airline's reputation.
15:47I could lose my job if I let suspicious passengers remain in premium seats. I'm just being cautious.
15:54You know, you're absolutely right about one thing. You could lose your job, but for an entirely different reason than
15:59you think.
16:01I wasn't planning on having to reveal my identity today. I was just trying to get home from a business
16:06trip and observe how employees interact with passengers.
16:10What do you mean?
16:12I'm Richard Morrison, CEO of Morrison Airlines. This is my airline. I was traveling undercover to get a first-hand
16:20look at our customer service, and your behavior has forced me to reveal myself.
16:24Mr. Morrison, I was having a bad day. This isn't how I normally behave. I'm usually very professional.
16:31Yeah, well, what I witnessed today was unacceptable discrimination against a paying customer. You racially profiled Miss…
16:38Johnson. Carla Johnson.
16:42You racially profiled Miss Johnson, questioned her right to be in first class based solely on her appearance, and accused
16:49her of credit card fraud without any evidence whatsoever.
16:52Please, Mr. Morrison, I can explain. I really was just trying to protect the airline. Sometimes we do have issues
16:58with fraudulent tickets.
16:59Now, in my 15 years running this airline, I have never seen such blatant discrimination from one of our employees.
17:06Your behavior is not only morally reprehensible, it's also a legal liability for this company. You're fired, effective immediately. Please,
17:15gather your things and leave this aircraft.
17:17You can't fire me. I have rights. I was just doing my job. Your job is to ensure passenger safety
17:23and comfort, not to harass customers based on their race. You violated company policy and federal anti-discrimination laws.
17:31This is ridiculous. I have worked for this airline for six years. And in those six years, how many other
17:37passengers have you treated this way?
17:38Fine. I never liked working for this airline anyway. Dealing with difficult passengers and impossible management. This company is going
17:47downhill anyway.
17:49Goodbye.
17:52Miss Johnson, I sincerely apologize what you experienced today. This kind of treatment is absolutely unacceptable and does not represent
18:01the values of our airline.
18:02I, thank you. Thank you for standing up for me. I honestly didn't know what was going to happen.
18:09Well, you handled yourself with incredible grace and dignity throughout this entire ordeal.
18:14You know, I can tell from your phone conversation with your daughter that you're a dedicated professional and mother.
18:19She's my world. Everything I do is for her.
18:22It shows. And you know, speaking of your work, you mentioned you're in marketing?
18:27Yes. I'm a senior marketing executive, specialized in brand strategy and campaign development.
18:33Well, as it happens, we're actually looking to revamp our marketing approach, particularly around diversity and inclusion initiatives.
18:41Would you be interested in a consulting opportunity with our marketing department?
18:44Are you serious?
18:46I'm completely serious. Based on how you've conducted yourself today, I think you'd bring exactly the kind of perspective and
18:53professionalism we need.
18:54The consulting work could potentially lead to a permanent executive position if things work out well.
18:59Mr. Morrison, I don't know what to say. This has turned from the worst flight experience of my life into
19:06potentially the best thing that's ever happened to my career.
19:09Well, you deserve it. Talent and character like yours shouldn't be wasted.
19:13Listen, this has my direct line. Call me next week and we'll set up a meeting to discuss the details.
19:19Thank you so much. This is incredible.
19:22I should be thanking you. Today, you helped me identify a serious problem in our company culture and you've shown
19:28me the kind of person we should be hiring, not firing.
19:31I can't wait to call my daughter and tell her about this. She's going to be so excited.
19:35I'll tell her her mom is a hero. Not everyone would have handled that with such dignity.
19:39I will. And Mr. Morrison?
19:41Please, call me Richard.
19:43Richard, thank you for proving that there are still people in positions of power who will do the right thing
19:49when they see injustice.
19:50Have an excellent flight, Carla. And I look forward to working with you.
19:53This is definitely going to be a flight to remember. Wait till she hears about this.
20:02Hey baby, guess what? You're not going to believe this. Mommy got a new job.
20:10My name is Stacy Johnson and I'm the new store associate.
20:14You're going to be the new associate?
20:16Yes. Yes, I am.
20:17Okay, but aren't you a little old? I mean, normally we have kids just out of high school doing this
20:22job.
20:24Oh, well, we all got to do what we got to do. I actually love clothes, so I think I'll
20:30be a great addition to the team.
20:32Uh, why don't you start somewhere over there with the jeans. Fold the jeans. If anyone comes in, ask any
20:38questions.
20:39Okay, is there any training involved? Any selling points on the clothes? It is my first day after all.
20:46Lady, it's not rocket science. It's clothing. So get to it before I have to dock your pay for not
20:54doing anything.
20:55Do you work here by any chance? Yes. Yes, I do.
20:58Well, I just graduated from school and I'm going to start applying for jobs.
21:02I do want to look more professional, but also like I want to feel comfortable for the interviews.
21:07And to be honest with you, this is my first time applying for jobs, so I really want to make
21:12a good impression.
21:13You know what? You can never go wrong with a blazer and pinstripes, and I believe these would probably be
21:20your size.
21:21Would you like to try them on? Yes, of course.
21:23All right, I'll show you the dress. Thank you so much. Thank you.
21:26Wow, this outfit really makes me feel professional. I think this could be my go-to look for work.
21:32Outfit is fantastic on you. Thank you.
21:35Miss New Associate, can I have a word with you for a moment over here?
21:41Oh, mm-hmm. Okay. What's up then?
21:46What's up? I'll tell you what's up. That girl can't afford any of the clothes that she's trying on.
21:51If you're not careful, she's going to run out the store with a mom.
21:54What are you talking about?
21:56Oh, don't be naive with me. This is the real world, Grandma.
21:59And girls like that can't afford clothes from Stacy's. They steal stuff.
22:03Um, excuse me, but are you all talking about me? I couldn't help but notice you look in my direction.
22:10As a matter of fact, we are. Girls like you can't afford to shop in a store like this. So
22:15please take off those clothes immediately.
22:18Okay, excuse me. I've heard enough.
22:20Hey, you can't speak to me like that. I'm the manager here.
22:22Not anymore. I'm Stacy Johnson, the founder and CEO of these clothing stores.
22:29What? Is this some kind of joke?
22:31You wish. Every year I go into one of my clothing stores posing as a new store associate to make
22:38sure things are running smoothly on the ground level.
22:40I have never met a ruder, more incompetent manager than you, Ben.
22:47Mrs. Johnson, I mean, this is a big miscommunication.
22:50See, with all the new associates, I like to joke around and tease them on their first day.
22:54My manager did it to me when I first started.
22:56Well, I'm sorry to hear that, but that's still no excuse for your sexist ways, which have no place here
23:02at Stacy's.
23:03We're all are welcome. Now you get your things and get out before I call security.
23:14Oh, hello. Hello. Huh. What do we have here?
23:19Hi. Uh, how you doing? I'm Jamie.
23:22Jamie? My friends call me Chad, but you can call me anytime.
23:26All right. Well, uh, hello, Chad. Anything I can help you with?
23:32Uh, yeah. Actually, yeah. Yeah, you can help me by giving me your number.
23:37Mm-hmm. Are you always this forward with new employees around the office?
23:42No. No, no, no. Only when they're as strikingly gorgeous and beautiful as you.
23:47I mean, what can I say? I see something I like, I go after it. I'm like, I don't know,
23:52the alpha male or whatever.
23:58All right. Well, that was odd.
24:00I'm the top salesman. Okay. I'm the top G, the head honcho. I'm up here. Everybody else is down here.
24:08It's kind of how it goes. I'm like the lion of the jungle.
24:13Oh, well, having heard people say that you must be very proud.
24:18That's no small feat, considering lions are not native to the jungle.
24:24Yeah.
24:27You're a smart cookie.
24:29I like that. And I also like this repartee that we got going on.
24:33I say we continue it later, tonight. Where? At dinner.
24:38Well, while I appreciate the very flattering offer, I will have to decline. I don't date coworkers.
24:47Besides, it's against company policy.
24:50Okay, company policy, company shmolicy. Nobody's got to know.
24:55Plus, I don't want to spread any rumors, but I'm kind of up for the new regional manager position.
25:04Chad. Chad. Chad. Good luck with that open position.
25:09I'm sure you would make a wonderful regional manager.
25:13But if you would let me get to it, I have a lot more work to get done over here
25:17to set up since it's my first day.
25:19Yeah, no, because I'm sure it's so hard to be a receptionist.
25:23It's so hard. It's not rocket science. You kind of just send emails, right?
25:28Like transfer calls or whatever.
25:30Okay, well, that was rude. Thank you.
25:32Yeah.
25:36Oh, hi there.
25:37Hi, I'm Jamie.
25:38I'm Austin. Nice to meet you.
25:39Nice to meet you, too.
25:41Is this your first day here? I'm sorry, I just feel like I've seen you before.
25:45Oh, no, you know what? I get that a lot. Familiar face, all that.
25:50But yes, it is my first day. This is my little corner of paradise.
25:54Welcome aboard. It's nice to have you on the team.
25:56It feels so good to be here. What do you do here at Griflin?
25:59Oh, I'm a salesman. I've been doing it for about five years, I think.
26:04Wow, that's fantastic.
26:07But you know, I started off as a receptionist just like yourself.
26:10You don't say.
26:12Yeah, before I was a salesman, this was my little corner of paradise.
26:19But you know, I think the receptionist position is what makes this office run.
26:24You know, every position here in this office is important for sure, but the receptionist is the first thing clients
26:30see when they walk in through these doors.
26:32And first impressions are the most important.
26:35I guess I never really thought of it that way. But you're right. I totally agree.
26:41Well, I got to get to my station. But if you have any questions, any concerns, please feel free to
26:46ask me.
26:46I know how hard it can be to be a new guy at work. So don't be a stranger.
26:51Thank you so much, Austin. Appreciate it.
26:53All right. So here's the deal.
26:56Basically, when I make a sale, right, I'll log it once online and then I'll log it again over the
27:01phone.
27:02So I make twice the money, two sales, but doing like half the work.
27:07It's like, it's genius.
27:09Dude, but won't the company know if you're cheating the numbers?
27:12Oh my gosh. No way. There's no way they would find out if I'm lying about the numbers.
27:17I'm surrounded by idiots. This company isn't an idiot machine. It's powered by moron fuel.
27:23I'm going to make some sweeping changes the second they make me manager.
27:27First change, numero uno, I'm going to take that sweet receptionist out for a date.
27:32Do you mean Jamie?
27:33Jamie. Sugarcakes. I forget her name.
27:36Dude, I don't think you should be asking coworkers out on a date.
27:40God.
27:43Okay. Did you just get this notification to meet in the boardroom?
27:45Yeah, I did.
27:47Well, I guess they want to give me that promotion early, which is cool because you'll get to watch.
27:51Hey, what's up toots? Nice glasses. Nerd alert.
27:56Don't listen to me. He's just kidding.
27:57Yeah, but I'm not though. Could I get some coffee? Could you get me some coffee? I'm about to get
28:02promoted.
28:04Well, I'm not here for that. I'm actually here to see you get fired.
28:09What are you talking about? You're just like the dumb receptionist.
28:13Hmm. Sir, I am not just the dumb receptionist. I'm actually the CEO of this company.
28:19Yeah. My full name is Griflin. Jamie Griflin.
28:25This is a joke that's happening right now, right in front of my very eyes,
28:29because nobody would make the airhead receptionist CEO of this very important company.
28:36That just wouldn't happen, which leads me to believe that right now I'm getting punked.
28:41You are not getting punked. This is not the Magic Castle.
28:44This is my company, and this is real.
28:46And the reality is that you are just a punk salesperson who treated me like the bottom rung.
28:52From the moment you walked in today, you started harassing me.
28:55And in my company, we do not tolerate that attitude of misogyny.
29:00Just a quick question. I am the best salesman here,
29:03so who are you going to find that's better than me to fill that position?
29:07I'm looking at him right now.
29:09Who? Me?
29:11Yes. From the moment you walked in today, you exuded positivity and respect.
29:16Just from our short conversation, you made me feel valued, respected, excited to start my day.
29:24Okay. All right. I hate to, you know, be that guy, but who cares about feelings?
29:29Yeah, I had my accounting team double-check your numbers, and it is quite obvious you've been lying about your
29:35sales.
29:36So, not only is Austin our most dignified and respectable candidate, he's our top salesperson as well.
29:45Hello. Hello, my name's Carol, and I was hired recently to be a waitress here.
29:50Oh, huh. I heard there was a new girl starting. I just am not exactly a girl, you know.
29:58Well, I'm a woman, not a girl, and I bet all the ladies here are women, not girls.
30:05Okay, well, don't get too snooty with me. My name's Todd. I'm the manager of this restaurant, and what was
30:12your name?
30:13My name's Carol, Carol Johnson.
30:15Oh, that's interesting. Carol's the name of our founder. Huh. Huh. That is a funny coincidence.
30:22Yeah. So, here's the thing, Carol. I usually don't like to hire old ladies as waitresses here,
30:28because they're a little slower, moving around, and they're not as fun to look at.
30:32So, I'm just not sure what I'm going to do with you.
30:35Well, sir, I have tons of experience as a waitress. I've been doing this virtually all my life.
30:42See, that's the thing. Any experience before the internet, I don't really consider relevant.
30:49So, here's what I'm going to do. Sweet Cheeks. Sweet Cheeks, come here.
30:54Hey, Todd. What's up?
30:55Hey, Sweet Cheeks. This is Sweet Cheeks. She's one of our best waiters.
30:59Apparently, we have this old lady starting as our newer waitress, and I think you ought to show her the
31:05ropes a little bit.
31:07Your name was Carol? Carol, right? Yes.
31:10Yeah, Carol. Well, Sweet Cheeks is our best waitress. The guys love to look at her, because she's so beautiful.
31:16What I'm thinking is, is you shadow her for the day, and then tomorrow you can get started on your
31:20own. Sound good?
31:21Well, sir, I think that... Here's the thing. I don't actually care what you think, so that's what we're going
31:26to do.
31:27Okay? Off you go. All right. Carol, why don't you follow me in the kitchen? I'll show you around.
31:30Sure. Good luck.
31:34All right, so back here is the register, and this is where we tell the chef the order so they
31:38can go ahead and get started.
31:39But we do have a very large menu, so there's a couple of things about your...
31:43Wait, hold on a second. What is your real name?
31:46Oh, sorry. It's Sarah.
31:50Then why does Todd call you Sweet Cheeks?
31:53Because Todd is a total idiot and a creep, and when he first met me, he said I had a
31:57nice s**t, so he calls me Sweet Cheeks.
31:59Have you ever asked him to stop it?
32:02So many times. But he said if I don't like it, then I can just go get another job. And
32:06I really need this job.
32:07That is totally unacceptable.
32:09Hey, Sweet Cheeks, you showing this old broad the tricks of the trade?
32:13Okay, that is enough.
32:15What?
32:16It's bad enough that you call employees unwanted names, but s**t, s**t of employee, that crosses the line.
32:23Whoa, whoa, whoa. Let's not get carried away here. S**t, s**t, that was a love tap at best.
32:27Sarah, did you want Todd to grab your s**t?
32:31Ew, no.
32:32Look at pal. I want you out of here or I'm going to call the police.
32:37Okay lady, listen here. I'm not going to listen to you. In fact, you're fired. So get out of here
32:42and don't expect to get paid for today.
32:47Todd, you're fired. I'm Carol Franklin, the founder and CEO of the Cheese Steak Factory.
32:54What?
32:56That's right, buddy. I go undercover as a waitress every year at my restaurants just to see how things are
33:02running at the ground level.
33:04But you are the worst, the most terrible, terrible manager I've ever seen.
33:09So, you need to get out of here. You have five seconds before I call the police.
33:14Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. This may-
33:15Yes, you have two seconds now, Todd.
33:17I'm going. I am going.
33:22Oh my God. That was incredible. Are you actually the founder and CEO?
33:28Yes, I am. And you, Sarah? Congratulations. You're the new manager of this store.
33:43Excuse me. What are you doing here?
33:46Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to just walk in like this. I was outside and then there's this man
33:52who's been following me around all day. He keeps making these comments and trying to get me to go with
33:57him for what he calls opportunities. I got scared and I ducked in here right away just to get away
34:03from him. I'm sorry.
34:04Okay, look. Just calm down. Okay. You can't just wander into random office buildings. You know that, right?
34:11Oh, I know. I know. I'm sorry. I just needed somewhere safe for a minute. Can I maybe just sit
34:17in your waiting area for a few minutes? Oh, and can I get a cup of water from that cooler
34:23over there?
34:23Do you have an appointment here or any business with this company?
34:27Well, I mean, I'd love to apply for a job if you're hiring. I've honestly been looking everywhere today.
34:34Things have been really tough for me financially and I'm just trying to find work. But I know you're probably
34:42not hiring right now.
34:43Listen, ma'am. Unfortunately, you can't stay here, okay? This is a professional office space, not a public waiting area.
34:49You have to leave.
34:50Please. I'm not asking for much. Just let me sit down for a few minutes and just until that guy
34:57moves on. I mean, maybe get some water. That's really all I need.
35:02I can't have you hanging around here. You'll make the office look unprofessional to our clients and visitors. Image matters
35:08in business.
35:09I promise I'll leave after five minutes. I don't want any trouble. I just need to feel safe for a
35:15moment. Please.
35:17Can you just show some basic human decency? Listen, I don't make the rules here, but...
35:23What's going on out here? This woman just walked in off the street. She claimed someone was bothering her outside,
35:27but she doesn't have any business here.
35:29I was explaining that she needs to leave.
35:32I don't want to cause any problems. I just need a safe place for a few minutes. That's it.
35:39Wait, wait, wait. You're refusing to help someone who's being harassed.
35:42I'm trying to maintain professional standards here, Dylan.
35:45Professional standards. She's a human being that needs help.
35:49Come on, sit down. Can I get you some water, some coffee or anything? Anything. Anything at all.
35:55Thank you so much. Water would be wonderful.
35:59The office manager is going to be furious when she finds out about this, okay?
36:03Then let her be furious. If they want to fire me for helping someone in need, then I don't want
36:07to work here anyway.
36:08Are you hungry too? We have some sandwiches from earlier. I'm more than happy to give you one.
36:13Actually, I haven't eaten all day. Oh, but I don't want to get you in any trouble.
36:18No, no, no. It's no trouble at all. None at all.
36:20Okay, you know what? I'm telling the manager about this right now.
36:24Go ahead, fine. Go ahead and tell her. You know what? I'll talk to her myself, if that's better.
36:27I'm going.
36:33Don't worry about him. Let me get you that food and coffee, okay? Come on.
36:38I can't tell you how much this means to me. After the day I've had, your kindness is a ray
36:45of sunshine.
36:46Everyone deserves to be treated with respect. I just don't understand how people can just turn away from somebody that's
36:52in need.
36:55See? This is exactly what I was talking about.
37:02Dylan, explain the situation to me now.
37:04Alright, this is Lily. She was being harassed outside and needed a safe place to sit for only a few
37:10minutes.
37:11And I thought that showing some basic human kindness would have been the right thing to do.
37:15I don't want to cause any problems. I just needed a secure place to collect myself.
37:20This is a professional office environment. Not a homeless shelter or a community center.
37:27We can't have random people off the street using our space like it's some kind of public facility.
37:32It's not about running a charity, Helen. It's about showing some human compassion to someone that needed our help.
37:38I'm a business professional who understands workplace boundaries, Dylan.
37:44Do you know where I'd be if I let every desperate person who walked the streets to come through this
37:52door to set up camp in our reception area?
37:54This is a place of business. Not a social service.
37:59Exactly. Okay, having random desperate people hanging around damages our professional reputation.
38:05What if a client walked in and saw this?
38:07It's fine. I can leave soon. I don't want you all to argue because of me.
38:12You should have left the moment you walked into here. You walked in here uninvited.
38:18She's not going anywhere until she feels safe.
38:21Then you have a choice to make, Dylan. Either you escort her out of this building or you're fired.
38:28Fine. Fire me then.
38:31You're willing to lose your job for a complete stranger? That's just stupid.
38:35At least I have my integrity. At least I treat people with dignity and respect.
38:41You're terminated. Effective immediately. Clear out your desk.
38:47Gladly.
38:56Good call.
39:04I can't believe you would sacrifice your job to protect a complete stranger.
39:08I'd do it again without hesitation. Because treating people with respect and kindness, it's just who I am. It's how
39:15I was raised.
39:16That's beautiful. The world needs more people like you.
39:22Well, I'll probably need to start job hunting immediately myself now, or I might end up to a similar situation
39:28as yours.
39:29Um, if you don't mind me asking, what's your story? How did you end up like this in such a
39:36difficult situation?
39:37Oh, I used to have a stable career, but I made some poor choices that led to where I am
39:45now.
39:46Let me tell you, life can knock you down hard and make you feel hopeless, but there's always a way
39:54forward if you don't give up.
39:56Wow. Your attitude's incredible. Even facing homelessness, unemployment, you still have hope and optimism, and that's truly inspiring.
40:07Staying positive and treating others with kindness is always the right path, no matter what circumstances you're facing.
40:14Well, I hope that I can maintain that attitude now that I need to find a new job, because the
40:19bills sure don't pay themselves.
40:21Something tells me you won't be unemployed for very long.
40:25What do you mean by that?
40:27I'm not finished with this office yet. Let's go back inside.
40:32What? Why would you go back in there?
40:34Trust me. There's something I need to take care of.
40:52What are you two losers doing back here? Didn't you get the message?
40:55I have some unfinished business to take care of.
40:58Helen, they're back!
41:05I already told you both to leave. If you don't go immediately, I'm calling building security to have you two
41:13escorted out.
41:15That won't be necessary. I've been appalled by the way you two have behaved today.
41:21What did you expect? You're some unemployed person who has no business being in our office.
41:29Actually, I'm not unemployed. And I'm not desperate.
41:34Huh. This should be good. What are you, some undercover reporter?
41:38I'm actually the CEO of this company.
41:42That's ridiculous. You expect us to believe that?
41:46I decided to go undercover to observe how my employees treat people, especially those who appear to be in vulnerable
41:54situations.
41:56And what I witnessed today was absolutely disgraceful.
42:00Look, even if that were true, which it's not...
42:04Let me tell you about our Q3 revenue projections, Garrett.
42:08We're looking at a 12% increase over last quarter, primarily driven by our new client acquisition in the new
42:14healthcare sector.
42:16Our overhead costs have been running about 8% higher than budgeted due to the office renovation project that Helen
42:24approved without proper authorization.
42:28Should I continue?
42:30Oh my God. Okay, look. You've proved your point. I'm so sorry. I didn't know. I was just trying to
42:35maintain professional standards like I was taught.
42:37Don't. Just don't.
42:39I was protecting the company's professional image and maintaining appropriate workplace boundaries. That's part of my job as office manager.
42:48Your job is to create a workplace environment that reflects our company's values. And what I saw today was the
42:55complete opposite of everything this company stands for.
42:58Please, I need this job. I have rent to pay. I have student loans.
43:02Yeah, well, you should have thought about that before you decided to treat another human being like garbage.
43:07But workplace policies exist for a reason. We can't just let anyone-
43:13Okay, stop talking. You're both terminated. Effective immediately.
43:18I can't believe this is happening.
43:20This whole thing is insane. She's probably going to run this whole company to the ground. That bleeding heart attitude.
43:36Close the door on your way out, please. Thank you.
