00:12and competent absolutely incompetent service was slow hmm and food is right
00:22cool unbelievable do I have to do everything myself
00:27Lily explain something to me yes why did we have a 40-minute wait time last Saturday during a
00:34dinner service we were fully booked every table was occupied and that's a pathetic excuse but there
00:41was nowhere to see people you should have managed the floor better term tables faster found creative
00:47seating solutions your inability to think on your feet makes you worthless I followed the
00:54seating chart you created and the kitchen was backed up which slowed everything down stop
00:58making excuses stop blaming others for your failure I'm not making excuses I'm just explaining what
01:03maybe you're just not smart enough in this job managing reservations and flow requires intelligence
01:09and quick thinking qualities you clearly lack I'm sorry I'll do better oh you're sorry tears won't
01:17fix your incompetence Lily oh here read this one waited 30 minutes to be seated even though I could
01:29see empty tables those tables weren't clean yet hostess seemed disorganized and confused that's you
01:36Lily that's how customers see you some of those reviews mentioned food quality issues that have
01:41nothing to do with hosting stop talking back just stop accept responsibility for once in your life do you
01:50enjoy you shopping and conversations it's hard not to hear when you're speaking so loudly in an open
01:55dining room you've been smart with me no just stating a fact your voice carries your job is to serve
02:04food and
02:05keep your mouth shut now offer commentary on management discussions you have until opening one hour to come
02:12up with some real solutions proving wait times you can find your employment somewhere else your choice
02:23gonna be okay
02:26time's up let's see those brilliant solutions I came up with several ideas
02:35hmm implement a waitlist app offer bar seating for smaller parties better communication with kitchen
02:45this is what you came up with simplistic obvious nonsense any first-year hospitality student would
02:51suggest where is the real innovation these are practical solutions that other restaurants are
02:57successfully doing practical means mediocre and mediocre doesn't cut it and fine dining try again
03:04during your lunch break which you don't deserve but I'll graciously allow I worked hard on those ideas
03:09working hard doesn't matter if the results are garbage effort without excellence it's just wasted time
03:18excuse me I couldn't help but notice that Lily suggestions are actually aligned with industry best
03:24practices I've read about similar implementations at successful restaurants when did servers start
03:30having opinions about restaurant management I'm just sharing an observation based on experience your
03:35experience amounts to carrying plates and taking orders hardly qualifications for strategic planning
03:41everyone in a restaurant contributes to its success from the kitchen to the front of the house let me
03:47educate you about something the hierarchy of restaurants exists for a reason I worked my way up from one
03:54washing dishes to management over 15 years I earned this position through dedication and sacrifice
04:02servers don't get to have opinions until they're paid their dues and you clearly have not does paying dues mean
04:10treating people with disrespect it means understanding that leadership requires tough decisions and honest feedback
04:16even if it hurts feelings honest feedback can be delivered with dignity crumpling someone's work and throwing it on
04:24the floor isn't feedback it's humiliation you've crossed the line you're not just a server of opinions now
04:31you're in subordinate get back to your section before you join Lily on the unemployment line interesting management philosophy
04:41what's that supposed to mean nothing just that I'm learning a lot about how this restaurant operates
04:47I'm done wasting time of your incompetence both of you I have actual work to do meeting with the regional
04:53director this afternoon to
04:54discuss my promotion to the multi-unit supervisor and perhaps my departure will be good for you
04:59you'll get a softer manager who coddles mediocrity
05:16can I talk to you for a second of course
05:21thank you for speaking up earlier no one's ever defended me like that against James you deserve to be treated
05:27with respect
05:28everyone does I've been thinking about quitting but I love hospitality but I can't handle his constant
05:35criticism anymore this that's just the way he makes me feel so stupid and worthless don't give up on your
05:42dreams because of one bad manager how do you stay so calm when he attacks you I just I fall
05:47apart
05:48I've learned that bullies like James are usually insecure they try to feel powerful by diminishing others
05:58what gossiping about me now I'm not surprised unsuccessful people always blame their superiors
06:05instead of looking at their own shortcomings
06:09do you consider yourself successful obviously I manage a prestigious restaurant I'm considered for
06:16a major promotion is success measured by titles or by how you treat people philosophical questions
06:23don't pay bills or earn promotions results matter not feelings what about staff turnover negative
06:30reviews do those count as results where do you get off questioning my performance you've been here
06:36for what a few weeks I've built this operation over years I've been here for exactly two weeks working
06:44undercover to assess management practices across the restaurant group what are you talking about my name
06:50my name is Carmen Richardson I'm the CEO of the restaurant corporation that owns this establishment
06:56that's impossible the CEO wouldn't work as a server I do this regularly it helps me understand ground
07:03level operations and evaluate leadership quality firsthand well if this is true then you've seen I
07:10run a tight ship high standards that's what makes great restaurants I've seen you humiliate staff
07:17disregard good ideas create a toxic environment where talented people are afraid to speak
07:23I'm just passionate about excellence sometimes that requires tough love there's nothing loving about
07:29your behavior it's abuse disguised as management restaurants are high pressure environments not
07:35everyone can handle the heat pressure doesn't require cruelty great managers build people up they don't tear
07:42them down look if I know who you were I would have conducted myself differently that's exactly the problem
07:50everyone deserves the respect you would have shown me as the CEO the janitor the dishwasher the hostess
07:56everyone my methods get results that's what matters to the bottom line right
08:01all right these are your results customer satisfaction scores down 18 percent in six months staff turnover at 62 percent
08:13and seven HR complaints
08:15filed against you in the last year alone your employment is terminated effective immediately you need to collect your
08:23personal items and leave we'll see about this I have lawyers this is wrongful termination
08:31okay so you just want to make sure that the connection is secure before the power is on
08:36okay see the indicator light it should be solid green not blinking okay and once it's connected to the main
08:42hub
08:42we'll configure the sensors the client wanted extra coverage in the hallway and bedroom oh that wasn't on the original
08:47work order though right
08:48no but they asked this morning when we arrived it's part of the premium package they already paid for it
08:53so there's no issue
08:55that's what i'm saying
08:57yeah my bad yeah i'll be here no yeah just tell i'm dealing with incompetent staff
09:03that exactly all right
09:07and why aren't you doing it this was supposed to take three hours not four
09:11the client requested additional sensors that weren't in the original paperwork we're just finishing
09:16time is money baby every extra hour cost me my bonus finish the base installation and move on
09:24but the client specifically asked for full coverage don't know what they need that's why we are the
09:29professionals sell the approved package and move on to the next part of the house and who is this
09:35uh oh this is joe the new technician from corporate he's training with me this week
09:40great another body to slow things down word of advice new guy don't let emma's overachieving
09:46rebuff on you efficiency matters more than perfection in this business
09:50kyle what should i tell the client about the sensors they requested it schedule a second
09:55appointment charging the standard 500 service fee the sensors are included in the premium package
10:00they already paid for them the client does not know that um is over charging company policy
10:07does the new guy have opinions already i just trying to understand the procedures well here's
10:12a procedure for you sir do what management says without questioning me is that clear enough
10:17goodness and this is filthy
10:22what you plan on doing with this how you expect to do quality clean work with filthy lackluster equipment
10:31document slow progress for your performance reviews as well
10:34okay do you want to document the client's request as well for accuracy what you worry about your own
10:40performance new guy not mine next part of the house within the 45 minutes don't be slow
10:52i am so sorry you had to see that uh is he always like that i've seen trust me better
11:01days
11:07how long have you dealt with him look it's been two years since he got promoted to regional manager
11:14but that he he was tolerable before then now he only cares about the bonuses and performance metrics
11:20he's been adding unauthorized charges for months fees for services that already included fake upgrades
11:27that don't exist i've been keeping records but i don't know what to do with them can i see them
11:40wow these are thorough can you um send those to me yeah if uh kyle found out i showed he
11:46won't
11:46i promise all right wait a minute hello why aren't you at the next part of the house i can
11:56see the
11:56computer installed just went online you're still in the living room we finished early i added the
12:00sensors on the tv at no charge since they were included in the package who authorized that i use my
12:06judgment that's exactly why you are still a technician and not management leave the computer alone and move
12:14on to the next part of the house we have to finish in three hours we need to move on
12:23hey you're doing
12:25the right thing okay for the clients and for the company doesn't matter if cal takes my performance
12:31review again you know what let's just just move on before he finds something else to yell at me about
12:47you know what i'm going to call mark this as an emergency repair premium rate
12:58it's a minor calibration 15 minutes max yeah why would he mark it as an emergency because emergency
13:07calls justify premium charges he does it all the time with routine maintenance
13:16okay now you're finishing the job way too fast i see i just see the smart oven come on we
13:22need a full
13:22three hours to charge a premium because it really wasn't an emergency it was just a calibration stretch
13:30it out take your time justify the charge that's dishonest we've been charging them from work we're not
13:37doing it's business emma either learn how it works or stay a technician forever
13:47hi what's the criteria for marketing a call as an emergency who is this oh it's joe the new guy
13:53just trying to understand the emergency criteria the criteria is that i say it's an emergency that's it
13:59okay uh does corporate have different standards man you are a nice new guy questioning management is
14:05not how you keep this job understood take another hour on that oven minimum or you're both getting
14:13written up you know what i'm right over the corner let me just come in and supervise the work make
14:17sure
14:17y'all moving at the right pace
14:24welcome to working under kyle does he always start in write-ups only when you do something ethical
14:34oh don't mind me i'm just observing a new guy's training so what you want to verify each zone
14:40individually before well this that takes way too long just run a little master diagnostic and move it on
14:45the manual specifies individual zone testing to isolate potential issues real field work is
14:51different from what's in the manual you would know that if you had management experience well this
14:57seems to match the manual specifications exactly so field conditions vary you can't just follow a
15:03manual blindly the manual accounts for field variations section 7 page 12. mmm been doing some
15:09reading have we no just trying to learn the proper procedures that mountain bracket is off center
15:15it's leveled and centered to specification nah i consider the mounting bracket is off don't argue
15:19with me uh well i took measurements i have the specs right here if you'd like to see you know
15:23what
15:23i'm writing both of y'all up emma i'm writing you up for taking too long and you new guy
15:28with the shoes
15:29for insubordination can i see the write-up before you file it no management decisions aren't set up for
15:35discussion well actually employees have the right to review disciplinary actions before filing
15:40it's in the employee handbook section four oh you memorized the handbook yeah i'd like to be thorough
15:45i know you've been collecting data on me who are you showing it to i don't know what you're talking
15:50don't play dumb with me i saw you show something to the new guy on your phone earlier what was
15:56it
15:56in fact give me your phone no that's company property actually it's her personal phone you have no right to

20:45usually last this long well i've been fighting a stomach bug too so are you pregnant what no of course
20:52not it's just bad food i swear you sure about that you better not be i hate pregnant women yes

21:04i apologize uh for the interruption welcome no apology necessary are you feeling any better
21:11yes thank you just something i ate maybe you should take the first half of the day off to recover
21:18is that really necessary i'm sure i can push through no no need you clearly need the rest and
21:24there's no point in working if you're feeling unwell of course joy take the debt feel better
21:33thank you shall we proceed to the meeting yes of course lead the way accounting has prepared an
21:38exciting proposal for you hey are you okay yeah it's just a bug they said i could take a half
21:47day off
21:47do you need a ride home or anything that's sweet but i'll be fine you should just stay here and
21:52work
21:52i don't want to get you in trouble seth being hard on you again i know how he can be
21:56he's just
21:57difficult but i need this job porter i can't afford to get fired right now fired why would you get
22:04fired for being sick we can talk later i really should go rest joy look whatever's going on i'm here
22:10for you you know that right thanks porter that means a lot
22:21so for the upcoming week we've scheduled meetings with department's hands to give you a comprehensive
22:27overview of the strategies for the apex campaign that sounds great i'm particularly interested in
22:33seeing how your team collaborates day to day in my experience the company culture often reveals
22:39itself in those small interactions we have an excellent culture here productivity focus and
22:45result driven and what about joy will she be okay she'll be fine was there something specific about
22:52our campaign strategy you wanted to discuss actually i'm curious about joy she seemed really unwell and
22:59quite stressed between us can i ask you your honest opinion about a woman do you think she might be
23:07pregnant that's quite a personal assumption why do you ask the symptoms the sudden nausea running to
23:15the bathroom she denies it but i've seen it before i mean it's possible morning sickness can present that
23:23way but it could also genuinely be food poisoning i knew it women can always sense these things would it
23:30be a problem if she were pregnant let's get back to the apex campaign i think you will be impressed
23:35Seth you seem concerned about the possibility of joy being pregnant is that an issue for you or the
23:42company look i'm just thinking about the company a pregnant employee becomes a liability doctor's
23:49appointment sick days reduced productivity the maternity leave we have to find a replacement redistribute
23:57workload you and i both know it's a headache that perspective seems rather outdated
24:05if she's working here she must be highly qualified this company has a reputation for hiring the best
24:11talent and valuing its employees what exactly do you know about our company more than you think
24:18actually and we're not even certain joy is pregnant so all of this is speculation let's continue our
24:25meeting tomorrow when we're all fresh i'd like to review some materials before we proceed of course
24:30whatever works best for you
24:44oh hey welcome back feeling better yes much better thanks are nina and seth around
24:53seth's in his office he he asked to see you as soon as you came back and nina hasn't come
24:58in
24:58for lunch yet so he wants to see me already wait whatever it is i've got your back you know
25:03that right
25:04thanks porter that means a lot right now
25:13come in
25:18feeling better yes thank you i'm going to ask you one more time and i expect an honest answer
25:27are you pregnant i told you yesterday it's just food poisoning you're lying to me it's going to become
25:33obvious in a few months you won't be able to hide it forever think carefully about your answer
25:40i took a test last night and it was positive so you lied to me i was scared i'm i'm
25:49still processing
25:50it myself you understand this makes you a liability to the company right this is exactly what i was
25:55afraid of this is why i didn't tell you you're a terrible manager who can't handle anything that
26:01might slightly inconvenience you what's your tone this isn't about inconvenience this is about
26:08business we can't afford to have an employee who's going to need special accommodations
26:14that cost the company money always excelled at my job my performance reviews are stellar
26:22why would you assume that will change it always does the doctor appointments the morning sickness
26:28the maternity leave the divided attention this is better that we make a clean break now are you
26:35firing me i'm giving you the opportunity to resign that's illegal you can't fire someone for being
26:44pregnant sue me i'd rather deal with that than handle your maternity leave and all the disruption it may
26:51cause you haven't heard the last of this good lunch i did that was really good yeah all right everyone
27:07joy what's wrong i'm pregnant and seth just fired me he what that's completely unacceptable is there a
27:15problem yes there is i understand you just fired joy because she's pregnant that's a simplification
27:23of a complex performance issue okay that's a lie joy is one of our best account executives i made my
27:29decision the company can't afford a disruption that a pregnancy will cause joy is not fired excuse me
27:36i don't think you have any authority to make that decision actually i do i'm not nina davis from apex
27:43marketing i'm nina chambers ceo of tristar's parent company i've been visiting our offices undercover to
27:50assess company culture and management practices i knew there was something different about you you
27:56asked too many good questions nina i can explain i was only thinking of the company's best interest
28:02by discriminating against a pregnant employee by creating a hostile work environment by violating
28:09multiple labor laws the pregnancy would affect her performance whoa she's always been amazing at her
28:16job you're just a bully who can't handle any situation that requires basic human compassion
28:21i've spent one day in this office and witnessed multiple instances of unprofessional behavior from
28:27you i can only imagine what goes on when there isn't a ceo watching i'm going to be a top
28:32regional
28:33performance the numbers speak for themselves nina numbers aren't everything our company values include
28:39respect integrity and fostering a supportive environment for all employees that's all corporate
28:44talk the bottom line is what matters and nina you know that the bottom line is that you're fired
28:50effective immediately hr will be contacting you about the terms of your separation and be aware that
28:56your attempt to terminate joy's employment will be fully documented to the appropriate authorities
29:01you can't do this to me i've given years to this company please collect your personal items and
29:07leave the premises within the hour security will escort you out if necessary

31:54please go ahead and tell me a bit about yourself and your professional journey thank you so much for
31:59saying that about my resume i really appreciate it well i started my career about eight years ago as
32:05an intern at morrison associates which is a major consulting firm here in the city i was there for
32:11about six months learning the basics of project coordination and client relations morrison associates
32:17that's a very well respected firm absolutely after my internship i was hired as a junior project
32:23manager at tech vision solutions where i spent three and a half years i was responsible for coordinating
32:29multiple client projects simultaneously managing timelines budgets and cross-functional teams
32:35from there i moved to apex consulting as a senior project manager which is the role i held most
32:41recently and in that position i was overseeing projects with budgets exceeding over two million
32:46dollars and managing teams of up to 15 people that's quite a progression it sounds like you've taken
32:51on increasing levels of responsibility at each step exactly i've always been someone who seeks out
32:56challenges and opportunities to grow i believe that's what makes me effective in leadership roles i can
33:02see that from your track record uh now i do notice there's a gap in your uh let's see important
33:07history
33:08here um you left apex consulting about 14 months ago but your previous position ended only two months
33:13ago can you tell me about that year in between that's a great question and i'm glad you asked i
33:20made the decision to take a year off to focus on my mental health and personal well-being i see
33:24that
33:25takes courage to do thank you it wasn't an easy decision but i recognized that i had been pushing
33:31myself pretty hard for several years without taking time to recharge and during that year i did some
33:36traveling i spent about four months in europe staying with friends that i had made during college
33:41that sounds wonderful traveling can be so enriching it really was i also used that time to work with a
33:46therapist to develop a better work-life balance strategies and stress management techniques i felt
33:52it was important to invest in myself so that i could return to the workforce as the best version of
33:57myself i think that's fantastic honestly i wish i could take a break like that sometimes sometimes i
34:02feel like i'm just drowning in this place oh i'm sorry where were we um yes so um um camilla
34:14now please
34:15tell me why did you decide to leave your most recent position i see you were a senior manager for
34:20for
34:21almost five years there yes that's correct i left because i started to notice some concerning changes in
34:27the company culture the environment was becoming increasingly toxic and management began treating
34:33employees poorly how so they started demanding excessive overtime without compensation disregarding
34:41work-life balance and generally not valuing employee well-being there was also a lack of professional
34:47development opportunities and very little recognition for good work that sounds really challenging it was
34:52i believe that employees do their best work when they feel valued and supported when that foundation
34:58wasn't there everyone suffers the employees the clients and ultimately the company itself yeah i
35:05completely understand and i want to assure you that our work environment here is much different we
35:10prioritize employee satisfaction and maintain reasonable expectations for work-life balance that is so
35:16wonderful to hear honestly camilla i have to say that i'm very happy with how this interview has gone
35:21you have exactly the kind of experience and mindset we're looking for and i have high hopes for your
35:26candidacy thank you so much i have to say i'm really excited too i've heard only positive things about
35:32this company and everything you've told me today reinforces that this would be a great fit
35:37i hope so too i can honestly say that things are looking very good for you thank you again for
35:42coming in
35:43today how thank you so much for your consideration what's wrong you forgot to mention that you're pregnant
35:51i'm sorry is that a problem you weren't honest with me you sat through this entire interview without
35:57disclosing your condition that completely changes everything how does it change anything and i didn't
36:03have to disclose anything about my personal life because my pregnancy doesn't affect my ability to work
36:08are you kidding me what about maternity leave how am i supposed to plan for that how am i going
36:12to
36:13find someone to cover your work when you're out for months those are normal considerations that any
36:17employer has to plan for and what about your emotional state huh pregnant women are moody they
36:23make decisions based on hormones instead of logic that's a liability we can't afford to take on what
36:27you're doing right now is completely illegal a company cannot refuse to hire someone solely because
36:32they're pregnant this is textbook pregnancy discrimination which violates federal law federal law
36:39i don't care about that well you have to care this company is supposed to have a reputation for being
36:45fair and understanding with all employees what do you know about this company i know more than you
36:50think i do follow me i need to clear some things up okay summer stop what you're doing right now
37:01is
37:02everything okay when this woman walked in here earlier did you know she was pregnant i i don't understand
37:07why you're asking me that it's a simple question summer did you or did you not notice that she's pregnant
37:13when she arrived you cannot interrogate her like shut up i'm not talking to you right now i'm not
37:18going to ask you again answer me now or you can join her in looking for a new job yes
37:23of course i i
37:24noticed how how could i not notice then you should have warned me it's unacceptable that you let me walk
37:29into that interview unprepared stop treating her like this she did not do anything wrong this is exactly
37:35what always happens i let women get what they want and then i end up regretting it every single time
37:40why do i keep doing this to myself why do i keep trusting them oliver you can't refuse to hire
37:46someone just because they're pregnant if she's qualified to do the job that should be enough thank
37:52you summer that's exactly right you should be considering my qualifications just like you were
37:57doing during the interview everything was going perfectly well and you were ready to hire me that was
38:02before i saw your situation my situation is that what you're calling my pregnancy oliver you're always
38:08treating women poorly in this office you can't keep getting away with it oh i see what's happening
38:13here you're ganging up on me now is that it no you need to leave right now and you're fired
38:19clean out
38:19your desk no i'm not going anywhere and you're not firing her what did you just say to me you
38:25heard
38:25me correctly my name is camilla mirren and i'm the ceo of this company i've been receiving multiple
38:32complaints about discriminatory behavior especially towards women employees and i wanted to see for myself what was
38:38really happening here oh my god i am so glad you were here are you one of the employees who
38:46made a
38:46complaint yes i was i have been documenting everything for months this is ridiculous okay you're both insane
38:54absolutely insane you set me up here this this whole thing was a trap well you know congratulations
39:00you got me oliver it's clear that you are not well i'm going to have to let you go at
39:07least temporarily
39:08wait wait wait wait i i can i can change i can be better okay i just i just i
39:14just need another chance
39:15i'm sorry but my decision is final what i witnessed today was completely unacceptable and illegal fine
39:23whatever however the company will pay for therapy sessions for you during your time away
39:29if you can get the help you need and demonstrate real change there might be a possibility for you
39:34to return in the future so like like take a gap year like the one you took something like that
39:40yes
39:40all right whatever but i still think pregnant women can't work as well as everyone else
