00:08Can I help you?
00:10Hi, I'm Jennifer. I'm the new marketing specialist.
00:13Today's my first day.
00:14Oh, you're Dom's new hire?
00:17Yeah, I'm really excited to join a team.
00:19I've worked in marketing for a few years now,
00:21and I love the creative side of it.
00:22I think I'll fit right in here.
00:25Don't get too comfortable.
00:26People come and go around here pretty quickly.
00:28What do you mean?
00:30I guess you'll figure it out.
00:32Hey there, I'm Finn.
00:34Welcome to the team.
00:35High five.
00:36Knock turkey!
00:39How's your first day going?
00:40Oh, thanks. I'm Jennifer.
00:42It's going well so far, just getting settled in.
00:44Well, if you need any help, just let me know.
00:46Of course. Thank you so much.
00:48And just so you know, I'm the funny guy around here.
00:52People love me.
00:53Oh, really? We'll see about that.
00:55You'll see. You're gonna see. You won't stop laughing.
00:58Isn't that just convenient?
01:00Well, I should let you get back to it.
01:03Catch you later, Jennifer.
01:05This place has become a circus.
01:13Hey there, Jennifer.
01:15How's your first day going?
01:17It's been great so far.
01:18A little overwhelming, but I'm settling in.
01:21Thanks for checking on me.
01:22Of course.
01:23We want to make sure you feel comfortable here.
01:25We're part of the team now.
01:33Look at that.
01:34Getting cozy with the boss already.
01:37I wonder how that works.
01:38Hey, I would love for you to join our meeting this afternoon.
01:42If you're up for it, you can share some of your great ideas with the team.
01:46That sounds great. I'd love to.
01:49That settles it.
01:50I'll see you this afternoon.
01:52Okay.
01:53Hi.
01:58Getting cozy with the boss already?
02:00I guess that's how it works when you're both, you know.
02:03Excuse me?
02:04Dom's never fast-tracked anyone like this before.
02:07Must be nice having that special connection.
02:11Just saying.
02:12When you know someone, things get easier.
02:16Don't worry, Jennifer.
02:17I'm sure you'll fit right in here.
02:31And by partnering with influencers who resonate with our target demographic,
02:35we can increase brand awareness and engagement, driving sales through the roof.
02:39This strategy is tailored to align with our current resources
02:42and the direction the company is taking over the next quarter.
02:45That's a solid approach, Jennifer.
02:46I'm really liking this.
02:48We've been needing fresh perspectives like yours.
02:52It's certainly an interesting take, Jennifer.
02:54But I think we should look at something a bit more aggressive, you know.
02:59This seems a little predictable for my liking.
03:01I see what you're saying, Leslie.
03:04But Jennifer's approach is actually more aligned with our current goals.
03:08Sure, but maybe we could just play it safe.
03:11We need to take calculated risks to stay ahead of the competition.
03:14Exactly.
03:15We've been talking about modernizing for months.
03:18This could be a first step in a very exciting new direction for us.
03:23Well, I gotta run, but hey, you guys keep up the good work.
03:29I just want to say, great job.
03:32I mean, seriously, your ideas are really solid.
03:35I really appreciate it.
03:37Don't forget our dinner plans, babe.
03:39We've got that reservation at that new place.
03:43I've been here for years, Jennifer.
03:45But sure, let's all follow the diversity hires' advice.
03:48Hmm?
03:49Hmm.
03:54I am so sorry.
04:12What the hell, Leslie?
04:14My god, are you okay?
04:16What was that, Leslie?
04:17What's up?
04:17I'm fine, but this is ridiculous.
04:20I'm so sorry.
04:21I didn't mean to.
04:22It was just one of those clumsy moments, you know?
04:25Really?
04:25That was more than just a clumsy moment, Leslie.
04:28You've been doing everything you can to make my life harder.
04:31You have a problem with me, and it's obvious.
04:33Please.
04:33I didn't do it on purpose.
04:35You're overreacting.
04:37You people are always like this.
04:39So quick to play the victim.
04:40What do you mean by my people?
04:43You're not even trying to hide it now, are you?
04:45I know exactly what I mean.
04:47People like you always make things about race.
04:50Are you being serious?
04:51You're being racist.
04:53You just spilled coffee on me, then threw out some garbage about my people.
04:56Racist?
04:56Please.
04:57You really are playing the race card.
04:59Whatever.
05:00You can twist this however you want.
05:02I don't have time for this.
05:04You deal with your own drama.
05:10Jennifer, I am so sorry about that.
05:12She's out of line.
05:12I didn't think that she'd go do something like that and go that far.
05:16You know what?
05:17I'm gonna go talk to her.
05:26Hey!
05:26What the hell was that?
05:28Come on, Finn.
05:30Don't tell me you're getting sucked into her little victim act, too.
05:33This isn't about a victim act.
05:35You just humiliated her.
05:36And for what?
05:36Because she's new?
05:38Because Dom actually sees potential in her?
05:40Ugh.
05:41Please.
05:42We both know why she's really here.
05:44Dom's just looking out for his own kind.
05:47Jesus, Leslie.
05:48Do you even hear yourself?
05:50I just have the guts to say what everyone else is thinking.
05:53You know, I don't even recognize you right now.
05:56Babe, don't be mad at me.
05:58You know how I get sometimes.
06:00You don't really think I meant all that, do you?
06:03I was just...
06:04Ugh.
06:05I don't know.
06:06Frustrated.
06:07You know how hard I've worked here.
06:09And now this perfect little hire swoops in, getting praised left and right.
06:12It's not fair.
06:13No.
06:14You don't get to make this about you being the victim.
06:16But I know you hate fighting with me, don't you?
06:18I need you to be better than Miss Leslie.
06:22You need me, babe.
06:25That's what you need.
06:34First of all, I just want to commend all of you for your hard work these past few weeks.
06:38The marketing team has made incredible strides, and I'm proud of what we're building here.
06:44But I want to take a moment to highlight someone who has truly stepped up, showing skill, dedication, and more
06:52importantly, integrity.
06:54Finn, your leadership has been outstanding.
06:59I'm happy to announce that you will be promoted.
07:02And with this promotion, you have more to say in the company's decision, including hiring, and when necessary, firing.
07:12Wow.
07:14Seriously?
07:15Thank you, Dom.
07:17This means the world to me.
07:20Congrats, babe.
07:21And I have another exciting update.
07:25Jennifer, your creativity and fresh approach has been a game changer.
07:29I'd like you to lead our new marketing project.
07:33Wow.
07:34Thank you so much, Dom.
07:36There's just one thing.
07:37You'll be working closely with Leslie.
07:43You've got to be kidding me.
07:45She just got here, and she's already leading a project?
07:48I've been here for years.
07:50And now I have to work with her?
07:53Leslie, stop.
07:55I don't want to work with someone like her.
07:58Someone of her kind.
08:00Excuse me?
08:02Come on.
08:03We all know why you're here.
08:05You and Dom.
08:06Enough, Leslie.
08:07I didn't say anything before because I wasn't sure.
08:10Maybe I was being dramatic, but I'm sure now.
08:14Leslie has been targeting me since day one.
08:16The comments, the attitude, the accidents.
08:19She made it clear exactly what she thinks of me.
08:23Jennifer, thank you for being honest.
08:26Of course, ganging up on me.
08:28How convenient.
08:30Dom just wanted his little companion in the office,
08:33and now you two are playing the victim.
08:35Since you're now in management,
08:37this is a great opportunity for you to practice your authority.
08:40As your first official act,
08:42is there anything you would like to address with the team?
08:46Yes, actually.
08:48I've been silent about this for too long about something important,
08:52and Leslie, we're done.
08:56I can't be with someone who treats people like this.
08:59The way that you treat her, I can't be with you.
09:02I'm sorry.
09:03We're done.
09:04You're breaking up with me?
09:07Here?
09:08Over her?
09:10No, over you.
09:11Over who you've chosen to be.
09:13Leslie, we're done.
09:15You're pathetic.
09:16And you'll regret this.
09:18Okay, well, and as my first recommendation,
09:20I believe that we should terminate Leslie's employment
09:24effective immediately.
09:26I agree.
09:27Leslie, collect your things.
09:30You're done here.
09:32Are you serious?
09:34This, this is a joke.
09:36Security is right outside.
09:38If you need help finding the exit,
09:40they can help you.
09:43Wow.
09:44Screw all of you.
09:50I should have spoken out sooner.
09:54I'm sorry that I didn't, and I was a coward.
09:58And I hope that someday you can forgive me.
10:03Someday.
10:05But today you took the first step.
10:07Great job, you two.
10:09I look forward to our new partnership
10:11and building a great new team.
10:14Keep it up.
10:18Congrats on your promotion.
10:20And congrats on your new project.
10:24Bye, God.
10:24Bye, Jesus.
