00:02Good morning. I'm Mariah Thompson. I'm here for the hotel manager interview.
00:07All right. Take a seat over there.
00:17Good morning, Mr. Daniel. Louis Martinez. Thank you for this opportunity.
00:22Yeah. Sit down. We'll get to you when we get to you.
00:31Is it me or is this completely unprofessional?
00:34Trust me, you're not imagining it.
00:39Hello. I'm here for the manager position. I assume you've been expecting me?
00:46Vanessa, what a pleasure. Please, please come in. It's a beautiful Chanel suit, if I'm not mistaken.
00:54Well, yes, it is. You have excellent taste. My personal shopper picked it up for me in Paris last month.
01:02Paris. How wonderful. And that necklace. Absolutely stunning.
01:08Oh, my God. Thank you. It's been in my family for generations. We own several properties in the hospitality industry,
01:16you know.
01:16My father has connections with major hotel chains all across the country.
01:23Really? Which chains? I'd love to hear more about your family's business empire.
01:28Well, my father owns the Grandview Resort chain and we have partnerships with Luxury Suites International.
01:37I'm used to the finer things, obviously, and I understand what wealthy guests expect.
01:43That's exactly what I needed to hear. Someone who understands our clientele. Someone with the right background and proper connections.
01:53Excuse me, but when we'll be discussing the actual interview process and timeline?
01:58You will have to wait your turn. Can't you see I'm speaking with a qualified candidate?
02:03I'd also like to mention my experience managing the downtown Marriott for the past five years. I have excellent references.
02:09Look, the position requires someone with the right background, the proper connections in this industry.
02:16Not everyone is cut out for this level of responsibility.
02:20I think we should start with your interview first, since you're clearly the most qualified candidate here.
02:27Oh my god, that sounds perfect. I had a feeling that this would go so smoothly.
02:32Right this way. I'm very impressed about your family's credentials.
02:52Did that really just happen? He's more interested in her jewelry than anyone's actual qualifications.
02:59What do you think about his behavior? Have you experienced this kind of bias before?
03:04Fortunately, yes, but never this blatant. He didn't even look at my resume.
03:09He just dismissed us both the moment he saw her design her clothes.
03:13How do you typically handle situations like this?
03:15Honestly? I usually just walk away. I mean, it's clear he's already made up his mind based on our family's
03:22money. Why waste our time?
03:24Maybe you should stay. Sometimes things aren't what they seem. Sometimes situations can change unexpectedly.
03:30Change? Did you see how he was practically bowing to her? I mean, the interview is just a formality at
03:37this point.
03:38Trust me on this. I have reasons to believe the right person would ultimately get this job.
03:43What reasons? You seem awfully confident for someone who just got dismissed as unqualified.
03:51Let's just say I have faith that justice will prevail. Sometimes the most unexpected things happen.
04:02Well, that went even better than I expected.
04:05I've essentially been offered the position. Just a few more formalities to complete.
04:10Formalities? The interview lasted less than ten minutes.
04:14Well, when you have the right background and connections, things move quickly. My family's business relationships really impressed him.
04:21Mrs. Vanessa is definitely our front runner and the remaining interviews are mostly procedural at this point.
04:29I'm really sorry that you two came all this way for nothing, but some positions require a certain pedigree.
04:36We'll see about that.
04:39Mariah Thompson, you're next. Let's get this over with.
04:44Actually, let's take our time with this one.
05:01Look, I'm gonna be honest with you. The position's already been filmed. I'm only doing this to complete the process,
05:08so let's keep it brief.
05:09I appreciate receiving a proper interview. I have extensive qualifications and experience in hotel management that I like to discuss.
05:18Your experience is irrelevant compared to what Mrs. Vanessa brings to the table. She has family connections, financial backings, and
05:25the right social standing.
05:27Shouldn't hotel management be based on professional competency, leadership skills, and industry knowledge rather than personal wealth?
05:34I don't understand how the hospitality business works. Successful hotels need managers with powerful connections and financial resources.
05:43Let me ask you about some specific scenarios. If you had a major guest complain about service quality, how would
05:50you expect your manager to handle it?
05:52Look, these are theoretical questions that don't matter. What matters is having the right background.
05:58What about staff scheduling conflicts during peak season? How important is experience with workforce management?
06:05Are we almost done here? I have things to do.
06:08What specific hotel management qualifications does Vanessa possess that makes her superior to other candidates?
06:13She has connections, money, influence. That is what business is about.
06:20And professional experience? Leadership skills? Customer service expertise?
06:24This interview is over. You failed to meet the position requirements. Your background isn't even suitable enough for this level
06:32of responsibility.
06:33Can you clarify exactly what those requirements are in writing?
06:38I don't need to clarify anything. My decision is final. Let's go.
06:51I made my decision. Vanessa, the position is yours. With your family connections and background, you're a clear choice for
07:01the job.
07:01You knew it. Thank you so much. Congratulations.
07:06I can't wait to start implementing all sorts of changes around here.
07:10This is unbelievable. You're making this decision based purely on wealth, not qualification.
07:16I'm making this decision based on what's best for the business. Vanessa understands our clientele.
07:23Yeah, she understands spending money, not making it through good management.
07:27Some people just don't understand how the business world works. Connections matter. Influence matters.
07:34I suggest you both accept the decision and leave. I won't tolerate any more of your challenges to my authority.
07:41Your authority? This isn't authority. It's discrimination. You're hiring based on financial background, not merit.
07:49That's enough. Security can escort you out if necessary.
07:54This is unethical and potentially illegal. I mean, qualified candidates deserve a fair consideration regardless of their bank account.
08:03Qualified? You're both delusional if you think you could compete with my credentials.
08:09Actually, I think there's been a misunderstanding.
08:13What kind of misunderstanding?
08:15I'm Mariah Thompson, CEO of this hotel chain. I've been conducting an undercover evaluation of your hiring practices.
08:23CEO? No, that's impossible. You're just a job candidate. There's no way.
08:30I'm the CEO. And I'm appalled by what I've witnessed today. You violated every principle of fair hiring practices.
08:39Wait. You're the CEO? But I thought this has to be some mistake.
08:47Ms. Thompson, I can explain. I was just trying to find the best fit for the company culture.
08:53Yeah. The best fit. You dismiss qualified candidates based solely on their appearance and financial status.
09:00That's not what happened. I was considering all factors, including business connection, to help.
09:07You never looked at anyone's qualifications except Vanessa's family's money. That's not just unprofessional. It's discriminatory.
09:15Ms. Thompson, I apologize if there was any misunderstanding. I certainly didn't mean to be disrespectful to any of my
09:23future colleagues.
09:24Future colleagues? Ms. Vanessa, you demonstrated an entitled attitude and showed no genuine qualifications for hotel management. You won't be
09:33receiving this position.
09:35But Daniel already offered me the job. You can't just take it back. I didn't recognize you.
09:41I can and I will. This position requires professional competency, not family connections.
09:48Please, Ms. Thompson, I made a mistake. I can learn from this. Give me another chance.
09:55Daniel, you're terminated effective immediately. Your bias towards wealthy candidates violates company policies and professional standards.
10:04You can't fire me. I've been with this company for three years. That is totally unfair.
10:10What's unfair is dismissing qualified candidates because they don't wear designer clothes.
10:17This is your fault. You said that the job was mine. You said my connections were everything.
10:22You're the one who came in here acting like you own the place. Ms. Thompson, I apologize.
10:27You're both responsible for your own behavior. I suggest you leave before I call security.
10:34This isn't over.
10:38My dad's going to be so mad at me.
10:40I'll be so happy.
10:40I'm happy.
10:42And now I don't even care about your family.
10:43I'm happy you are.
10:43I'm happy.
10:44You're well, you're kind of an old and old.
10:46I'm happy.
10:47You're a great day for me.
10:48I am happy.
