00:12Hi! How's it going? Can I help you find anything today?
00:15Um, thank you. I'm just looking for a dress. I have an interview coming up and I wanted to find
00:23something nice. Sorry. I know this is totally weird. Um, but could I have some water? Oh, of course.
00:31I'd be happy to get you some water. Do you prefer bottled or I can get you a cup from
00:35the fountain?
00:36Bottled water, preferably? Thank you. And I really appreciate your help. It's been a while since I've
00:42done any shopping for myself. Not a problem at all. I'm here to help. You know, we actually have
00:47some great dresses that would be perfect for an interview. I can show you a few options if you'd
00:52like that would be wonderful. Thank you. I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed, to be honest. But,
01:00um, who knows what could happen. I mean, it's just been a few months. A few rough months.
01:06I totally understand. Finding the right outfit can be super stressful, especially when you're
01:11preparing for something as big as a job interview. Um, I'll be right back with your water. Thanks.
01:23Jane. What are you doing? Why are you helping her out? She looks like she just walked in off the
01:29street.
01:29Tom, she just asked for some water. I mean, she's looking for a dress. She has an interview coming up.
01:34We should be helping her. Just like we help everyone else. Jane, stop right now. Let me ask you something.
01:41Why don't we serve her kind here? Well, let me tell you. Go ahead. Look at her. Right. She probably
01:49can't even afford to buy anything. You're wasting your time. That is not fair, Tom. She's a customer.
01:55She deserves to be treated with respect. It's not our place to judge. Whatever, Jane. You're just too soft.
02:02How about this? Just get back to work and stop wasting your time on hopeless cases.
02:09Go, go, go. Oh, come on now. This is crazy.
02:18Here you go. One bottle of water. Thank you. And I've got a few dresses in mind that I think
02:23would be
02:23perfect for you. You want to take a look? Absolutely. Thank you so much. You're very kind. It's
02:31been a while since anyone's treated me with such respect. It's really no trouble at all. Everyone
02:36deserves to be treated with kindness. Now, let's find you that perfect dress for your interview.
02:40I appreciate it. This interview means so much to me. It's been so tough finding work these days.
02:46I just want to make the best impression I possibly can. I totally understand. And I'm sure you'll do great.
02:52You know, sometimes the right outfit can give you that little extra boost of confidence that you need.
02:57Let's go find you something that makes you feel amazing. That's just what I want. I want to feel
03:02amazing. Your kindness means more than you know. Anytime. Now, follow me. I'm ready to go shopping.
03:10Come on. What is going on here, Jane? What is she doing here still? Why are you still wasting your
03:16time?
03:17Tom, she's just looking for a dress for an interview. I mean, she's saved up for months. I don't see
03:21the
03:21problem. You know what the problem is, Jane, is that she doesn't belong here. Look at her. She's
03:29obviously not going to buy anything. We have a certain image to maintain, okay? Excuse me,
03:35but I'm here to buy a dress. I've been saving money for months for this interview.
03:41It's very important to me. Yeah, sure you are. Look, lady, we don't serve people like you here.
03:48You're probably just gonna try and steal something anyway. Tom, that's enough. You can't talk to people
03:53like that. Everyone deserves respect. Respect? She doesn't deserve to even be here. She's just
03:59wasting our time and scaring off real customers. I'm not here to cause trouble. I just need a dress
04:06for my interview. I've been out of work for months, and this is my one chance to get back on
04:12my feet.
04:12Boo hoo. Spare me the sob story, hun. Why don't you just try a thrift shop or something? Okay? This
04:19store is not for people like you. Tom, that is incredibly uncalled for. She's just looking for
04:25a dress. Why do you have to be so mean? Mean? No. I am just being realistic. If you keep
04:31coddling people
04:32like this, you'll drive away the real customers who actually spend money here. I really don't
04:39understand why you're being so hostile. I'm a single mom with two kids. I'm trying to turn my life
04:48around. Can't you see this interview means so much to me? Oh, yeah, yeah, whatever. Okay? Everyone has
04:55a sob story. Doesn't change the fact that you don't belong here. I don't know how you even got past
05:01the
05:01front door looking like that. Tom, enough. She's already explained her situation. She's just trying
05:07to find something nice for her interview. Jane, quiet yourself. You're too soft. This isn't a charity,
05:15okay? This is a business. We have standards. Now, ma'am, I'm going to ask you to leave, please. I
05:22don't
05:22understand. I have money to buy a dress. I've been saving this money for months. Why are you treating me
05:32like this? Because we don't want people like you here. Plain and simple. It's bad for business. Now, out.
05:45Thank you for your kindness. Sarah, you don't have to leave. No, this isn't right. I'm sorry. I wish
05:55I could do more. You've done enough, Jane. I appreciate it. I just, I don't want to cause you
06:04any more trouble. I better go. You don't have to be so cruel. She's just trying to get back on
06:15her
06:15feet. What if someone treated you like that? It's just business, Jane. You'll learn that eventually.
06:23Right now, we have to maintain our image. Now, back to work. Let's go. You know what, Tom? I hope
06:30you
06:30realize how wrong this is. Everyone deserves a chance. Save your lectures, Jane. I'm here to keep
06:37this place running smoothly, okay? Not to listen to sob stories anymore. Back to work. I hope one day
06:44you understand that treating people with kindness isn't a weakness, Tom. It's a strength. And it's
06:50what this store should stand for. Okay. Whatever, Jane. Please, just do your job. I am doing my job.
06:57And part of that is treating every customer with respect. You'll never get ahead with that
07:02attitude, Jane. Trust me. Okay. I'd rather be kind and fair than get ahead by being so cruel
07:08and mean to customers. Ridiculous.
07:21All right. And then at 430 is going to be my foot massage, okay? So make sure that you remember
07:26that. Hello, Tom. Jane. I'm Sarah Williams, the CEO of this clothing store chain. And judging
07:35by your shocked faces, I'm guessing you may already know who I am. We received some reports
07:43about mistreatment here. And I decided to investigate, you know, and go undercover as myself.
07:51Oh, Mrs. Williams, I, uh, I didn't, uh, I didn't know it was you. I, um, I mean, you,
07:59you look so different. I, I, I thought you were just some homeless person trying to cause trouble.
08:04That's the point, Tom. I wanted to see how my employees treated all customers. Not just those
08:12who appear wealthy or influential. And what I saw, it was pretty disappointing, Tom.
08:22I, I, I'm so sorry. I, I, I was just trying to protect the store's, the store's image for you.
08:27I,
08:27I, I didn't mean any harm. It's just that, you know, we all get all kinds of people in here
08:33and
08:34Tom, it's not about the store's image. It's about treating every person with respect
08:40and dignity, no matter their appearance. I mean, your behavior was absolutely unacceptable.
08:49Ms. Williams, I am so sorry about what happened. I tried to help, but I should have done more.
08:56I didn't stand up to Tom the way that I should have.
08:58Jane, you showed kindness and a lot of empathy in a very difficult situation.
09:05You did your best under the circumstances.
09:10Um, actually, it's exactly what we expect out of our employees here.
09:14Please, Ms. Williams, just, just give me another chance, okay? I'll do better.
09:19I promise. I just, you know, I didn't know.
09:22Tom, look, um, it's not about whether you know who I was. It's more about how you treat
09:30a person that you know needed help. There's no place in my company for such a disrespectful
09:36and discriminatory behavior. You're fired. Effective immediately.
09:42But, Mrs. Williams, I, I've been with the company for years. This, this is my livelihood.
09:47You can't just- No, yes, I can. And I will. And I did. Your actions today showed a complete
09:57lack of values. These are things that we care about in this company. I mean, your behavior.
10:06This decision is final. I can't believe this. Jane, thank you for your initial kindness and your
10:17willingness to help every customer, even when it wasn't easy. How can I say this? I feel like you just
10:25really embody the values of this company. And I'd like to promote you to assistant manager.
10:32Wow. Thank you so much, Mrs. Williams. I won't let you down. I promise to continue treating everyone
10:39with the respect that they deserve. I have no doubt that you will, Jane. It's people like you that make
10:47this company great. Keep up the good work. I just can't believe this. Just because I tried to keep the
10:56store's image intact, I'm being punished. This is ridiculous. Tom, Tom. This is not about the store's image,
11:03as I mentioned before. This is about human decency. Everyone deserves to be treated with kindness
11:10and respect. And that, Tom, is not negotiable. Whatever. You're making a mistake. Yeah. I've been
11:19known to do that. Like you, you are a mistake. And to allow your behavior to continue would be a
11:29continued
11:29mistake. So goodbye, Tom. Jane, kindness and respect are paramount in this company. You understand that
11:43we need to treat every customer as we would want to be treated? I mean, that's kind of the standard
11:50we
11:51uphold here. Thank you again, Mrs. Williams. I am so grateful for this opportunity. I'll do my best to
11:57look up to your expectations. I know you will, Jane. And if you ever see behavior that goes against
12:02our values, don't be afraid to speak up. We need people like you to help lead the way. I will,
12:10Ms. Williams. I promise. Good. Now let's get back to work. We've got some customers coming in to help
12:16out and we've got a reputation to uphold. Remember, our actions define us, not just our words.
12:27Definitely. You got it, boss. Let's get to work. Let's do it.
12:37Hey, new girl. Um, you think you could print me out a few things? I have a presentation I gotta
12:42prepare for. You think you could help me? I don't have time to just waste. Yes! Of course,
12:47Mr. Franklin. I'll, um, get those printed for you right away. And hurry up. As a secretary, I mean,
12:52you should be good at this sort of thing, you know? Um, I'll make sure it's done quickly.
12:58Is there anything else you need help with? Uh, well, since he asked, I mean, maybe, uh, you could,
13:03you know, print a few more things for me. Just, you know, some side, some side business stuff,
13:08if you could. I'll get that for you right away. Great. Um, and I hope you're not one of those
13:14who
13:14think they're like above their pay grade or above their job for me, you know, asking me to do this
13:18stuff.
13:19But, you know, there's no room for that kind of attitude here, okay? Oh, no, sir. I believe every
13:25role is important. And I'm here to do my best, Mr. Franklin. Great. Just don't make sure that you
13:31don't mess it up. I mean, we don't need another incompetent person around here, right? So, do you
13:37even know how this thing works? I mean, it's not as easy as it looks, but, you know, maybe I
13:42can show you?
13:44I really appreciate the offer, Mr. Franklin, but I've got it under control. Great. Oh, and what's
13:52your name again? Jessica. Jessica. Well, Jessica, you know, I have my doubts about you, but, you know,
13:58maybe you'll surprise me. I'll make sure everything is done to your specifications, Mr. Franklin. Great.
14:06Well, you can bring it by my office later and, uh, yeah, we'll go from there. Thank you, sir. Thank
14:13you.
14:23Emma, how many times do I have to tell you? Just get it right the first time.
14:28I mean, it's not that hard. And that dress, I mean, it's just hardly appropriate for a professional
14:36environment. I mean, seriously. I'm sorry. Do you want me to change? No, it's fine. I mean,
14:43just another thing, your attitude, it needs adjusting. You're here to learn, okay? You're
14:49not here to question me or my methods. Okay. I wasn't, I wasn't questioning your methods, Mr.
14:55Franklin. I just thought it would be helpful to ensure accuracy. Oh, helpful? You want to be
15:02helpful? Do as you're told without questioning me, okay? You understand? Yes, Mr. Franklin. I understand.
15:10Good. And I'll get out of my sight and fix those slides and don't come back until it's perfect.
15:17Okay.
15:22What are you looking at, secretary? Oh, um, I, nothing, sir.
15:30You know, there's incompetence at every level here. Just make sure you're not like her.
15:35I will definitely do my best, Mr. Franklin. You can go now. I mean, just keep your head down,
15:43okay? This place isn't for the fainthearted. Okay. Well, here's your, um, coffee with cream and the
15:50files you asked for. Lovely, lovely secretary. Um, you know, just go help your girlfriend. I think
16:00she could use your help. Absolutely, sir. Understood.
16:31Mr. Franklin. What is it now? I'm, uh, I'm busy. I just received a memo from the CEO's office.
16:40Yes. There's a mandatory meeting in the boardroom this afternoon. The CEO wants all department heads
16:44to attend. Oh, my goodness. The CEO? I mean, what is this about? I don't have time for another pointless
16:53meeting, Emma. Come on. Tell them we want to reschedule. I'm sure it's probably not pointless,
17:01but I'm not sure. Uh, the memo didn't specify details. It just emphasized the attendance is
17:06mandatory for all senior staff. Great.
17:11Ah, just what I needed. I mean, more disruptions, Emma. What did they say this time?
17:19What time is it at? I mean, come on. Give me the details. Yeah, um, the meeting's scheduled for
17:2730 minutes from now. Fine. I'll be there. But I swear, if it's another one of those silly corporate
17:34motivational speeches, I'm gonna lose it. It might. It could be important. The memo seemed urgent.
17:41Yeah. Okay. We'll see about that. Right. Do you want this? Close it. Okay.
17:54My voice is hurting my head. Jesus Christ.
18:02Hi. Jessica, what are you doing here? I thought this was a senior meeting.
18:09Well, good afternoon. I recently spent time undercover as a secretary to observe the day-to-day
18:16operations of our company. Now, during this time, I saw firsthand the dedication and hard work of our
18:25employees. However, I also witnessed some behavior that does not align with our company values.
18:36Well, I hope you've enjoyed your little experiment, Jessica, but let's get back to business, shall we?
18:43This is business, Mark. The way we treat each other is fundamental to our success as a company.
18:52I want to share a few of the observations and let you know how I felt and what I saw.
18:59I met employees who were diligent, who were skilled, but I also saw instances of
19:09disrespect and unprofessional behavior that simply can't be ignored.
19:17What kind of behavior are you talking about? For example, belittling comments, inappropriate remarks about
19:25attire, and a general lack of respect for our colleagues' contributions to this company.
19:36Look, if I was a bit harsh, it's because I expect high standards. We can't afford to be
19:41relaxed in this industry, okay? I respect that, but expecting high standards is one thing, Mark.
19:51Disrespecting your colleagues? See, that's another thing.
19:57Now, in my line of work, I believe that we should lead by example. Would you agree?
20:05Emma, you have shown exceptional dedication and skill in your roles. I mean, just being an intern,
20:16you've done some really, really great things. Her professionalism, despite your crude criticism,
20:26she's been doing a great job as an intern.
20:28Thank you, Jessica. I just, you know, try to do my best.
20:33And that's all we ask of you. And you do an excellent job, Emma. That's why, effective immediately,
20:41Emma, you will be promoted to a managerial position with a salary increase.
20:49What? You can't be serious. She's just an intern.
20:53Oh, I'm very serious, Mr. Franklin. Look, Emma has demonstrated the qualities we need in our leaders.
21:04Competence, dedication, respect for others. And while Emma is being promoted,
21:13it is my pleasure to inform you, Mark, that you have been demoted. Effective immediately.
21:24This is not a punishment, but an opportunity for you to learn. Maybe get an understanding of the
21:34importance of treating people respectfully. This is outrageous. I've been with the company for years,
21:40Jessica. And I must admit, you've been a valuable asset. But I can't overlook this behavior towards
21:50your colleagues. I mean, it needs to change. And as for now, this decision stands.
21:58Our company's values are not just words hanging on a wall. They are principles that we must live by
22:06every day every day. Thank you, Jessica. I will do my best to lead my example and uphold our values.
22:15I have full confidence in your abilities, Emma.
22:20Ah!
22:22Wow.
22:27And that's why he's been demoted. Yeah, it is.
