  Speaker 1: Today, we call a guy who works in the tech industry.
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: He's got a good job right now, but is hoping
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: to land an even better one the job market though. Eh,
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: it's a little bit tough on him lately, where he'll
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: get some interviews and then be rejected and never know why.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: Well that's about to change, not the rejection part, just
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: the finding out why part, because our company believes in
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: total brutal honesty and it's in your phone tap right now. Hello,
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: Hi is this Steve? Oh yeah, this is Steve Fantastic?
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: Hi Steve, this is chet Ferglaru. I'm sorry who chet Ferglaru?
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: I'm calling on behalf of consulting. Oh, I work in
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: our human fulfillment department. Okay, how are you emotionally and
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: spiritually today? I'm good? M mm hmmmmmm wonderful. We always
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: start with that question because wellness is one of our
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: core brand principles, along with synergy, integrity, and deeply confusing metaphors.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: I don't uh, that last one was a joke kind
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: of anyway. You applied to our strategic Cloud Alignment specialist
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: role and I'm calling with an update on that process.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, So, unfortunately you did not get the position. Oh,
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: but don't hang up, because this is where it gets fun. Fun. Right.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: We're piloting something new here at once. It's called the
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: pre rejection feedback session. Oh. I don't know anything what
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: that is, right, because we're just starting it here. Basically,
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: we let you hear exactly what went wrong during your interview.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: No fluff, no corporate speak, just raw brutal honesty from
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: our team. Seriously, Yes, we believe in transparency here, like
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: an emotional X ray that shows not just your heart
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: but the weird little grudge that it's holding from back
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: in twenty fourteen. That's right to the problem. That's different,
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: sure is now? I have here a few anonymous reviewer notes,
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: and these were all taken during your Zoom interview. Can
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: I read some of them to you? I guess perfect? Okay.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: First one says candidate maintained suspiciously strong eye contact, as
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: if trying to hypnotize us your thoughts on that, Steve,
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: I was just looking at the screen, right, Yes, but
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: some of our senior staff are very sensitive to laser eyes.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: But I don't have laser eyes. You gave the impression
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: that you did. But moving on, next, Zoom reviewer said,
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: a few times you laughed nervously and gave a strong
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: guy who microwaves fish at work energy. I don't eat
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: fish at all. Yeah, that doesn't matter, because that's the
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: energy that you gave off. Well, how am I supposed
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: to change that? It's just an opportunity for self reflection.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: And one of our managers said, you had the aura
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: of a man who brings a bean bag chair to
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: team meetings. What I'm actually feeling that vibe from you
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: right now, I can feel the beanbag entering the room.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: I don't know what to say here. This was just
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: a normal interview for me, and this feels me a
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: very harsh critique. Well, that's kind of our goal. We
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: aim for radical corporate intimacy. Okay, But now I do
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: have some good news for you. You are still eligible
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: for our other opening, junior back executive culture intern level zero.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: It's unpaid and unstructured. No, thank you. No, are you sure?
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: Because we might let you stand near someone important at
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: the company picnic. We never let any new hires do that.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: That's quite an honor. I'm fine, thank you. Okay. One
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: final note that I do need to pass along to
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: you this prank call is being recorded on the radio
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: for thousands of others to listen and judge, what are
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: you okay? If we give you their feedback as well.

• 4:39
  Speaker 1: a phone tap on you. Man. Oh my god. You
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: guys shuck so hard. You should really blame your roommate Baker,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: because he's the one who sets you up. You see,
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: there's that aggressive microwave fish energy that everyone was talking about.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: Something maybe you could work on while you're laying on
