00:00:01During a routine company meeting, the new intern suddenly put my attendance record up on the screen.
00:00:10Mr. Hayes, I'm reporting Ms. Parker. She uses the company car for school runs every day.
00:00:17That's personal use of company assets. In my opinion, she should be terminated on the spot.
00:00:24She didn't even know the car she was calling company property was my own custom half-million-dollar Rolls-Royce
00:00:30Cullinion.
00:00:31For two years, I let this company use it for free just to make them look successful.
00:00:38According to the company's vehicle management policy, company vehicles are strictly prohibited from personal use.
00:00:44Yet Ms. Parker, a senior member of management, abused the most expensive client reception car?
00:00:51As if it were her private family showver. School runs, grocery runs, and even weekend getaways.
00:01:00Mrs. Parker drives that Cullinion roughly 25 miles a day for her commute and her kids' school drop-offs and
00:01:05pickups, fuel, mileage, depreciation, detailing, and impact.
00:01:08We're talking several thousand dollars a month in so-called hidden company costs.
00:01:14Mr. Hayes, if we're serious about cutting costs and improving efficiency, then leadership has to be held accountable first.
00:01:22If this kind of behavior, turning company assets into personal property, goes unpunished, how can anyone respect company policy?
00:01:30Liam was my college classmate. He was also the founder of this company.
00:01:34In the early days, when he didn't even have enough cash to pay the staff, I stepped in with my
00:01:40own savings.
00:01:41Emma, I'm a little short on employee salaries this month. I wanted to ask.
00:01:49Don't worry. I'll cover it for now.
00:01:54Later, when the company needed a luxury car to impress major clients, I didn't hesitate.
00:01:58I brought over the Cullinion we had bought less than a month ago.
00:02:03It's brand new.
00:02:05Use it first. The client meetings are more important.
00:02:10I loaned this car to the company for two years. Gas, insurance, maintenance.
00:02:15I paid for all of it myself.
00:02:17And there wasn't a single person in this company who didn't know that Cullinion was mine.

00:25:24Later, when the company needed a luxury car to impress major clients, I didn't hesitate.
00:25:29I brought over the Cullinan we had bought less than a month ago.
00:25:33It's brand new. Use it first. The client meetings are more important.
00:25:41I loaned this car to the company for two years. Gas, insurance, maintenance.
00:25:45I paid for all of it myself. And there wasn't a single person in this company who didn't know that
00:25:51Cullinan was mine.
00:25:53Mr. Hayes, that car...
00:25:56Emma, are Ava's accusations accurate?
00:26:00Mr. Hayes, do you personally believe her accusation is true?
00:26:09During a routine company meeting, the new intern suddenly put my attendance record up onto the screen.
00:26:17Mr. Hayes, I'm reporting Ms. Parker. She uses the company car for school runs every day.
00:26:24That's personal use of company assets. In my opinion, she should be terminated on the spot.
00:26:32She didn't even know the car she was calling company property was my own custom half-million dollar Rolls-Royce
00:26:38Cullinan.
00:26:38For two years, I let this company use it for free just to make them look successful.
00:26:45According to the company's vehicle management policy, company vehicles are strictly prohibited from personal use.
00:26:51Yet Ms. Parker, a senior member of management, abused the most expensive client reception car as if it were her
00:27:00private family chauver.
00:27:02School runs, grocery runs, and even weekend getaways.
00:27:07Ms. Parker drives that Cullinan roughly 25 miles a day for her commute and her kids' school drop-offs and
00:27:12pickups, fuel, mileage,
00:27:13to creation detailing and its impact. We're talking several thousand dollars a month in so-called hidden company costs.
00:27:22Mr. Hayes, if we're serious about cutting costs and improving efficiency, then leadership has to be held accountable first.
00:27:29If this kind of behavior, turning company assets into personal property, goes unpunished, how can anyone respect company policy?
00:27:37Liam was my college classmate. He was also the founder of this company.
00:27:42In the early days, when he didn't even have enough cash to pay the staff, I stepped in with my
00:27:47own savings.
00:27:48Emma, I'm a little short on employee salaries this month.
00:27:53I wanted to ask.
00:27:56Don't worry, I'll cover it for now.

00:50:22Yet, Ms. Parker, a senior member of management, abused the most expensive client reception car as if it were her
00:50:31private family chauver.
00:50:33School runs, grocery runs, and even weekend getaways.
00:50:38Since Parker drives that Cullinan roughly 25 miles a day for her commute and her kids' school drop-offs and
00:50:43pickups, fuel, mileage, depreciation, detailing, and its impact,
00:50:46we're talking several thousand dollars a month in so-called hidden company costs.
00:50:53Mr. Hayes, if we're serious about cutting costs and improving efficiency, then leadership has to be held accountable first.
00:51:00If this kind of behavior, turning company assets into personal property, goes unpunished, how can anyone respect company policy?
00:51:08Liam was my college classmate. He was also the founder of this company.
00:51:12In the early days, when he didn't even have enough cash to pay the staff, I stepped in with my
00:51:18own savings.
00:51:18Emma, I'm a little short on employee salaries this month.
00:51:24I wanted to ask.
00:51:27Don't worry. I'll cover it for now.
00:51:32Later, when the company needed a luxury car to impress major clients, I didn't hesitate.
00:51:37I brought over the Cullinan we had bought less than a month ago.
00:51:40It's brand new.
00:51:43Use it first.
00:51:44The client meetings are more important.
00:51:48I loaned this car to the company for two years.
00:51:51Gas, insurance, maintenance.
00:51:53I paid for all of it myself.
00:51:55And there wasn't a single person in this company who didn't know that Cullinan was mine.
00:52:00Mr. Hayes, that car...
00:52:04Emma, are Ava's accusations accurate?
00:52:08Mr. Hayes, do you personally believe her accusation is true?
00:52:16During a routine company meeting, the new intern suddenly put my attendance record up onto the screen.
00:52:25Mr. Hayes, I'm reporting Ms. Parker.
00:52:27She uses the company car for school runs every day.
00:52:32That's personal use of company assets.
00:52:34In my opinion, she should be terminated on the spot.
00:52:39She didn't even know the car she was calling company property was my own custom half-million dollar Rolls-Royce
00:52:45Cullinan.
00:52:46For two years, I let this company use it for free just to make them look successful.
00:52:51According to the company's vehicle management policy, company vehicles are strictly prohibited from personal use.
