00:00Jason, it's Jill. I need those quarterly reports on my desk ASAP. It actually, it should have been
00:07here yesterday. I'm sorry, I'm working on it right now. It's quite detailed and I want to ensure
00:14accuracy. Accuracy? We don't have time for this perfectionism, Jason. The report should have been
00:20completed days ago and now you're just holding up the entire team. I understand and I apologize
00:25for any inconvenience. I'll do my best to speed things up. Your best? Well, your best is clearly
00:30not good enough, Jason. I can't have you slowing things down with your constant need for precision.
00:36This is a fast-paced environment and we need results.
00:45Can I help you? Oh, sorry. I'm just here for an interview. They directed me to your office.
00:50Okay, yeah. Can you come back in like five minutes? Oh, okay. Jason? Jason!
01:00Are you and your incompetence still there? Listen, if I don't have this report on my desk by end of
01:07day,
01:07it's your head that's going to be on the chopping block. Got it? I'll make sure to prioritize speed
01:13without compromising quality. I promise. You've been with this company long enough to know how things
01:18work. I shouldn't have to micromanage every aspect of your job if you can't handle the pressure.
01:25Maybe this position isn't right for you. Time is a luxury we don't have, Jason. I expect that report
01:31on my desk within the next hour. I hope you can deliver this time without any excuses.
01:39Hey, sorry if this is a bad time. I can come back later.
01:42No. I guess you've wasted enough of my attention. Let's just get this over with. Take a seat.
01:50So, Leela, tell me a bit about yourself.
01:54Certainly. I have a strong background in marketing with a focus on digital strategies. I've successfully
02:02managed campaigns for diverse clients, improving their online presence, and driving engagement.
02:07Diverse clients. Huh. See, we work with high-end clientele here, you know. So, will your approach
02:17really appeal to them? Absolutely. I believe my skills and experience make me well-equipped to handle
02:23the needs of any client. Well, our clients are a little bit traditional, you could say. Will they really
02:31relate to someone like you? Yeah, I think diversity is an asset in any workplace. It brings different
02:39perspectives and ideas which can only benefit the team and the clients we serve. Leela, I am just
02:45concerned that our clients might not relate to you. You know how they are. I understand the importance of
02:53client relations, but I believe my skills and accomplishments speak for themselves. Skills can only
02:58take you so far, dear. It's about connections, relationships. You know, you have to fit in.
03:04I've successfully built relationships with clients from various backgrounds in my previous roles. I'm
03:10confident that I can do the same here. Can you really navigate the subtleties of high-stakes deals,
03:16Leela? It's a different world here. I've navigated complex negotiations and secure deals
03:22that significantly impacted my previous employers positively. Oh, I'm sure. But you see, we're a
03:30we're a close-knit group here, like a family. I am just not sure you'd be a good fit. I
03:36believe
03:36diversity is an asset. Different perspectives can lead to innovative solutions and better results for
03:43the clients. In an ideal world, maybe, you know, but this is the real world. And our clients are more
03:50old school. They like familiarity. I'm confident in my abilities and I'm prepared to contribute
03:57effectively to the scene. My focus has always been on delivering results. Just not sure if our clients
04:03are ready for that kind of change. You know, they like the things to stay the way they are.
04:10I believe my track record of success and ability to adapt to different environments demonstrate that
04:15I can meet the expectations of this position. Don't you? It's just not about qualifications, Leela.
04:22It's about fitting in. Our clients need to feel comfortable and well, I'm just, I'm not sure you'd
04:27make them feel that way. I'm confident in my ability to build rapport with clients still. We have a certain
04:33image to maintain here and I'm not convinced you'll contribute to that image. I think we're looking for
04:39someone who, well, fits the mold better. I think, you know what, I think our business here is done.
04:47Really? Because I don't think it is. Oh, you don't think so? And who gave you the right to decide
04:54that?
04:55Get out of my office, please, and stop wasting my time. I'm not going anywhere. You're clearly
05:03discriminating against me because of my race and this is intolerable behavior. It needs to be addressed.
05:09What are you gonna do? Submit an HR complaint? You don't even work here. Oh, I have a few ideas
05:15of what to do.
05:15All right, this is ridiculous. Get out of my office now or I'm calling security. Try me.
05:24I need security in here right now. There's a woman here who's being aggressive and I need her escorted
05:31from the premises immediately. Oh, you're smiling now but you just wait. There won't be a smile left
05:39when you're leaving here in handcuffs. You've made a grave mistake, Jill. The only mistake I've made
05:45was giving you more than a minute of my time. Oh, thank goodness you're here. Now take this woman away.
05:56What are you waiting for? Get her! I'm afraid I can't do that, miss. And why ever not? Huh?
06:04Are you deaf? Hello? I said take her away! I can't do that, miss. Or rather, I won't do that.
06:12Great. This is perfect.
06:14Now I'm going to have to have two people escorted from the property. I won't because Ms.
06:20Strauss here is the one I report to know, not you. Ms. Strauss, what are you even talking about?
06:27I'm sorry, I don't think I got a chance to fully introduce myself. I'm Leela Strauss,
06:33the daughter and business associate of Dunham Strauss. Wait, I'm sorry. Dunham Strauss? As in CEO of
06:43Exterco Dunham Strauss? That's right. I'm sure you're aware of our acquisition of this company. As always,
06:51I like to get a good idea of who the people are and the positions of power with the companies
06:57that we
06:57partner with. And during my investigation, your name came up multiple times, Jill. Care to guess why?
07:05Uh, yeah. Because I'm a great boss that always delivers results. No. It's because there have been
07:11countless reports and mentions of you making racist remarks to staff and in the hiring processes.
07:18I wanted to verify these rumors myself, and I'm saddened to see that they appear to be true.
07:24Okay, well, I don't even know what you mean by that. Your racist views and discriminatory practices
07:31have no place in this company. Diversity is not a threat. It's an asset. It's about time you understand that.
07:39I was trying to maintain the images our clients expect. It's not personal.
07:46Maintaining an image at the cost of mistreating employees and perpetrating racial biases is not
07:52acceptable, and I won't tolerate it. I may have been tough, but it's what the clients would want.
07:57I was doing what needed to be done. It's not just about what the clients want, Jill. It's about creating
08:03a
08:04workplace where everyone feels valued and respected. That includes employees of all backgrounds.
08:10Get out of here with all that PC stuff. We all know what matters is just the numbers and the
08:15success
08:15of this company. If something is standing in the way of that, it needs to be removed.
08:20Frankly, Jill, your insensitivity to not only others, but the people who work
08:25so hard under your supervision is very telling of what type of person you are.
08:30Yeah, well, what are you going to do about it?
08:32Effective immediately, you are relieved of your managerial duties. We need a leader who values
08:39diversity and fosters inclusivity and treats every employee with respect.
08:45You can't fire me. I've been here a decade.
08:48I can and I will, Jill. Your tyrannical oppression and prejudice attitude over the company in this
08:54office is over. Yeah, we'll see how fast this company crumbles without me here. Soon you'll be
09:00crawling back, begging for me to return. I highly doubt that. Get out of my office, Jill.
09:05No, I won't let you just rip away everything that I've built.
09:11Liam, will you escort Jill out? She is no longer welcome here.
09:15Of course, Ms. Stross. Gladly.
09:20Come on, let's go.
09:21Ah, unhand me! I will leave on my own accord. And when I come back, trust me, I'll have my
09:29lawyers.
09:41Take a look at this disaster.
09:45Um, hi. Uh, sorry, how can I assist you?
09:51Isn't this a hair salon?
09:53Yeah, it is. Sorry, I'm just, I'm just not quite following. And would you just mind keeping your
09:59voice down a little bit? We like to maintain a peaceful environment here.
10:02Look at my hair! It's a mess! I will not stay peaceful with messy hair! I need it to be
10:07fixed immediately.
10:09Oh, okay. Got it. I understand now. You know, in my honest opinion, your hair doesn't actually seem that bad
10:15to me.
10:15I- I- Spare me the flattery. My regular style botched it yesterday with a terrible blowout that looks
10:21just
10:23so unnatural. Sorry, you didn't like your blowout?
10:27No! Are you listening to me? Hello? Fix it! I have a big fashion gala tonight at the Met and
10:34I need to look impeccable.
10:36Understood. Um, sorry about the confusion earlier. I think we're gonna get this sorted out right away.
10:42By the way, can I have your name just-
10:44You don't know who I am? I'm Victoria Reid. As in THE Victoria Reid. As in, if you've ever read
10:52a magazine in your life,
10:54then you will know who I am. I'm quite renowned in the fashion industry.
10:59Absolutely. My apologies. Um, why don't you follow me? I'll introduce you to Eliza, our top stylist here.
11:05Took you long enough.
11:12Eliza, this is our next client. This is Victoria. Hello, Victoria. Pleasure to meet you.
11:20Yeah, I'll pass. Sorry, is there a problem? Do you perhaps have other stylists available?
11:29Well, actually Eliza's our lead stylist for the afternoon and I assure you she's the best we have.
11:33I can get you started with whatever it is that you're looking for.
11:40Fine. Let's just get this over with.
11:44Okay, great. Well, uh, I'll leave you guys to it and I'll be here if you need anything.
11:49Great. Thanks, Liam.
11:51Mm-hmm.
11:58Mm-hmm. Gosh! Would you hurry it up already?
12:02Oh, of course. Um, what can we get?
12:05Okay, actually first, do you mind wearing gloves? I'm not comfortable otherwise.
12:10Our tools and hands are always sanitized, but sure, I can wear gloves if it comforts you.
12:16Your type sure does have a way with germs and spreading them around, don't you?
12:21Hmm, okay. I'm not sure what you meant by that, but no problem. Gloves coming on.
12:28Thank you. Now, can we please move this along? If I'm late for the gala, heads will roll.
12:34Oh, you're going to the Met Gala tonight. That's so dreamy and the fashion is always so amazing.
12:41It's been a dream of mine to go for a long time.
12:43Mm-hmm. Of course, it's your dream. It's everyone's dream to attend the Met Gala, but you can't just let
12:49anybody in. Then it will lose all of its allure. Maybe one day you can work there as a server
12:55or something.
12:56I'd really love to model or do some styling there.
13:00You? Modeling? At the Met Gala? OMG, give me a break. I didn't know you were a comedian, too.
13:09That's about the craziest thing I've ever heard. A girl can dream, right?
13:14Well, to your point, I do believe they're becoming way too inclusive with the guests that they're letting in.
13:22It seems like they're just trying to appease everyone these days. I personally find it disgusting.
13:27But fashion is for everybody, right? It seems to make sense to me that they would like to have all
13:33types of people at the event. Of course, you have this typical woke opinion. How original of you.
13:42Let's just focus on the hair, shall we? Of course.
13:49Okay.
13:56Enough of the fluffing. What is going on here? Why can't you people just do a simple job? Why do
14:02you have to drag it out? What? You think if you take a longer time, I'm going to tip more?
14:07Newsflash. I'm not.
14:12You people? What do you mean by you people? You know exactly what I mean by you people. I don't
14:20want to sugarcoat it anymore. You and all the people like you should go back to where you came from
14:25because this country is full. What on earth are you talking about? People like you are bad for America.
14:32You steal our jobs, work for less. It's completely out of control. And I am sorry if you are jealous
14:40of
14:41the immense success that I've had, but that's just the way it is, alright? Ma'am, I was born in
14:46Pasadena.
14:46Are you implying that because I'm a different complexion to you, that I don't belong in the
14:51United States of America? Why do you have to be so prejudiced? Always playing the victim card, aren't you?
15:00Sorry, what's going on here? Liam, she's... This woman burned me with the hair dryer. There is no way that
15:10she is professional. I demand compensation. Wait, what? Liam, that's a lie. I didn't even touch her
15:17with the hair dryer. This woman has been throwing around racist remarks since she got here and now
15:23she's lying saying I burned her hair. It's ridiculous. That is complete nonsense. You should be grateful.
15:28I even came in here. Okay, everybody calm down. Eliza, is there any chance you burned her with the
15:33hair dryer? Any chance at all? No, no, absolutely not. I haven't even used the hair dryer once. I
15:38haven't even plugged in any appliances. This is completely ridiculous. Don't listen to her. You know
15:45her type. Her people are liars from top to bottom. Okay, ma'am, I've heard enough. I trust Eliza completely,
15:53and given your attitude since you walked in here, I'm not surprised by your behavior. Whoa, whoa, wait a
15:59second. Are you saying you're going to take her side over mine? Yes, ma'am. How much more do I
16:05have to
16:05spell it out for you? You're going to regret this. I will ruin your reputation. Yeah, good luck. Well,
16:12this store has a ton of security cameras, so in case you want to accuse us of something that we
16:16didn't do,
16:17I could always put that security footage from today online. Then we'll see who has more damage done to
16:22their reputation. You wouldn't do that. Oh, I most certainly would. Now leave our salon. People
16:27with your attitude aren't welcome here. You haven't heard the last of me. You'll regret this.
16:38I'm so sorry about that, Eliza. You don't deserve to be treated like that and have to experience that
16:43whole ordeal. I appreciate that, Liam. You know, thank you for always, always having my back. Of
16:51course, any time. Why don't you take a break? I think you deserve it. Yeah, thank you. I think I'm
16:57going to go get a grand slam and a cup of coffee. Yeah, well, enjoy it. Thank you.
17:04Incomitant. I don't know, my staff is at a local client. Hi, ma'am. Welcome in. Uh,
17:10can I get you started with some water or anything else? Yeah, the only thing you can get me started
17:16with is a new waiter. Oh, I'm sorry. Is there a problem? Yeah, there's obviously a problem. I just
17:25asked you for a new waiter. Like, now. Do you mind if I ask why? I don't want to catch
17:31the virus
17:32from you. Okay, I know that it's people like you and your aunts and your uncles who brought those germs
17:38over from your homeland, all right? So, you're saying you don't want me as your server because
17:44I'm Asian? Okay, buddy. I know everyone is so woke, so PC these days, right? But people like me
17:53are not afraid to tell it like it is. Really say the truth, okay? And the truth is that people
17:57like
17:58you make me sick. Wow. Okay, I don't know what to tell you, ma'am. I don't have the power
18:05to switch
18:05tables or waiters, so. Then get me your manager. Okay.
18:15Hello, ma'am. I hear there's a problem here, is that correct? Yes, it is. Okay, I need another server
18:22right now. Um, okay. Well, here's the story. Uh, I only have two servers in the restaurant today,
18:29and my other server right now is on a break. Um, can I ask what the problem is? Well, yeah.
18:35Have
18:35you heard of the virus? Okay, it was his people who started it. Ma'am, I was born in Orange
18:40County. My
18:40parents are Korean. We had nothing to do with the virus. It's all the same. All you people are the
18:46same.
18:47Okay, well, ma'am, here's, here's the deal. Um, if you want to eat here, Nate is going to have
18:53to be
18:53your server, but if not, it will be totally fine if you leave.
19:02Fine. But don't expect a tip. All right. Enjoy your meal. Good luck. Thanks.
19:10All right, ma'am. Can I start you with something to drink?
19:13Uh, yeah. I'll take an iced tea, I guess. Uh, could you just wear gloves while you serve me, please?
19:22Sure. I'll check to see if we have some gloves in the back. Good.
19:29All right, ma'am. Here is your iced tea.
19:32Did you touch that glass with your hands before you put your gloves on?
19:36No, ma'am. I did not. Good. Because I don't want any nasty germs on my glass.
19:43Okay. Uh, could I get your order? Uh, yeah. I'll take the garden salad.
19:48Hmm. Excellent choice, ma'am. I'll be right back with that.
19:51Great. Make it quick. Okay. I didn't even write it down.
19:57All right, ma'am. Here is your garden salad.
20:01That took you long enough.
20:06This country is just going down the tubes. Don't let anybody in.
20:21Ma'am. Ma'am. Ma'am. Are you okay?
20:24Please stand up. Please stand up. I'm going to try to help you, all right?
20:26Call now. It's okay. I'm going to give you the Heimlich. Here we go. One, two, three.
20:31Ma'am. Are you okay? You're all right?
20:34Get your hands off of me. I do not give you permission to give me your virus.
20:39Ma'am. I literally just saved your life.
20:42Oh, do not go trying to play some hero. Please.
20:45Ma'am. Ma'am. Are you okay? I just saw that Nate was giving you the Heimlich. Do you need
20:48an ambulance?
20:49Yeah. I'm completely fine, but you may have a lawsuit on your hands.
20:52I'm sorry. What?
20:54Yeah. I did not give this virus lover permission to put his hands on me.
20:59Lady, he just saved your life.
21:01No, that is your word against mine, mister.
21:03It actually isn't. See, I have cameras all over this place. We have the whole thing videotaped.
21:09Oh. Oh.
21:11Is right. I think it's time for you to leave now.
21:14I'm not even done eating my salad.
21:15I don't care. I don't want people with your vile and sick attitudes in my restaurant any longer.
21:22Now you can get out.
21:23I am leaving you a terrible review.
21:26That is fantastic.
21:27Now go.
21:28My pleasure.
21:33Whoa.
21:35Nate, ma'am. I am so sorry about that.
21:38Don't worry about it, Dan. It's not the first time that's happened.
21:42I hope it is the last time.
21:45Um, listen.
21:48Why don't you just go on a break? I feel like you have deserved it.
21:52Thank you, boss. Appreciate you.
21:54Bye.
21:55Bye.
21:56Bye.
21:56Bye.
