- 0:23Speaker 1: the employees they have been doing for years as part
- 0:25Speaker 1: of the office culture to make everybody feel like they're
- 0:28Speaker 1: part of the team. You know. Well, today I pose
- 0:31Speaker 1: as an HR rep and I call a guy who's
- 0:33Speaker 1: about to start a brand new job next week, okay,
- 0:36Speaker 1: and I just want to let him know about one
- 0:38Speaker 1: of our unique company traditions. I think it might make
- 0:43Speaker 1: him feel a little uncomfortable, but I'm hoping he can
- 0:46Speaker 1: get on board by the end of this. It's your
- 0:49Speaker 1: brand new phone tap right now, it's another on the twenties.
- 0:55Speaker 1: Tell me I'm moving five. Hello. Hello, I'm looking to
- 1:00Speaker 1: speak with Ryan. This is Ryan. Hey Ryan, my name's Cooper.
- 1:05Speaker 1: I work in HR at the media Agency. Oh, absolutely, hello,
- 1:09Speaker 1: Cooper him. Yeah, I know we haven't spoken before. I
- 1:11Speaker 1: just want to call and welcome you to the team.
- 1:14Speaker 1: So it's very kind you. I'm very excited to be
- 1:15Speaker 1: joining you. Guys. We're excited to have you. And I
- 1:18Speaker 1: see right here your first days on Monday, Yes, sir,
- 1:22Speaker 1: Monday morning. That's really exciting. I want to give you
- 1:24Speaker 1: a quick rundown of your first day and kind of
- 1:26Speaker 1: what to expect. I really appreciate that. Yeah, so when
- 1:31Speaker 1: you come in, we'll get y'all set up with your
- 1:32Speaker 1: key card, badge and security and everything perfect. And do
- 1:36Speaker 1: you want if I ask, do you know of anyone
- 1:38Speaker 1: that's worked for the company before? No, I don't think so. Well.
- 1:44Speaker 1: Our CEO started this tradition about thirty years ago and
- 1:47Speaker 1: in still going on today. Before we have our morning
- 1:50Speaker 1: roundup meeting, we go around the room and kiss everyone
- 1:54Speaker 1: on the mouth. I need to be honest with you.
- 2:01Speaker 1: I've I've never heard of anything like this before. I
- 2:04Speaker 1: know it's it's a little unconventional, but it's just something
- 2:07Speaker 1: that the founders of the company did when they started,
- 2:09Speaker 1: and it turned into this big success and it stayed
- 2:12Speaker 1: with the culture ever since. I mean, why why do
- 2:15Speaker 1: you think we're so profitable? Now it's because of the
- 2:17Speaker 1: mouth kissing, you know, So I just didn't want you
- 2:20Speaker 1: to be surprised on Monday morning when you come in,
- 2:22Speaker 1: there's gonna be a lot of smooching going on and
- 2:24Speaker 1: it's very normal, all right. Again, I've never heard of
- 2:33Speaker 1: anything like this before. No, that makes sense because employees
- 2:35Speaker 1: are actually discouraged from talking about it outside the company
- 2:39Speaker 1: walls because you know, other groups or businesses might hear
- 2:42Speaker 1: about it and think it's weird or worse, they'll try
- 2:45Speaker 1: and steal it from us. But here we're just one big,
- 2:47Speaker 1: happy family. That's very interesting, you know. And I don't
- 2:52Speaker 1: want to be rude. But is this something that I
- 2:54Speaker 1: kid opt out of. Oh, definitely not. No, That's why
- 2:58Speaker 1: I'm calling you to make sure you're good with it.
- 3:01Speaker 1: If you're wondering. Tongue is not allowed. It's usually just
- 3:04Speaker 1: a quick peck, like how a granny might kiss. Yeah,
- 3:08Speaker 1: I was, I wasn't one very short. We don't want
- 3:11Speaker 1: it to get weird. Maybe this is a good time
- 3:13Speaker 1: to practice. I'll I'll kiss you over the phone and
- 3:15Speaker 1: then you kiss me back. Okay, So it's like this,
- 3:17Speaker 1: it's like, oh, hey, Ryan, good to see you. Um,
- 3:24Speaker 1: I guess I understand. But if you forgot, my name's Cooper,
- 3:27Speaker 1: so you can say it back to me, Hi Cooper,
- 3:31Speaker 1: m hm. And you want me to kiss you, Yeah,
- 3:37Speaker 1: go ahead, I'm ready on the mouth. H okay, okay,
- 3:42Speaker 1: um oh all right, great, let's get down to business.
- 3:48Speaker 1: And didn't that feel good? If I'm being honest, it
- 3:51Speaker 1: feels a little strange. You know, I've never done or
- 3:54Speaker 1: heard of this before. Yeah, I understand that, but you
- 3:57Speaker 1: have to admit it felt good, right. I really don't
- 4:03Speaker 1: have any any emotion to it. It just was kind
- 4:06Speaker 1: of shocking. I know some people think it's a little
- 4:08Speaker 1: bit weird at first, but as you do it more
- 4:10Speaker 1: like give it a week, you'll feel like it's perfectly normal.
- 4:13Speaker 1: And before you know, I mean, you're gonna be kissing salespeople,
- 4:16Speaker 1: the accounting team, even the janitor. Carl. I don't want
- 4:19Speaker 1: to kiss all these people. Why would you say that
- 4:22Speaker 1: they're part of your family? Now, your business family. Carl's
- 4:25Speaker 1: actually the best kisser of the group. Well that's great
- 4:28Speaker 1: for Carl. I just it's great for all of us
- 4:31Speaker 1: because we get to kiss him. I gotta be honest
- 4:34Speaker 1: with you, this doesn't sound legal. To me, I don't
- 4:37Speaker 1: don't I hear you, okay, and so maybe I mean,
- 4:40Speaker 1: there's a lot of people that are a little bit
- 4:42Speaker 1: uncomfortable with this at first. So here's what we'll do.
- 4:45Speaker 1: I'll tell the rest of the group not to kiss you,
- 4:47Speaker 1: and you and I can just kiss for the first day,
- 4:50Speaker 1: and then every day after that, we'll build up the
- 4:52Speaker 1: kisses until you're comfortable kissing other people. We could kiss
- 4:55Speaker 1: once an hour or twice an hour if you'd like.
- 4:58Speaker 1: I don't want to kiss schedule. That doesn't sound like,
- 5:00Speaker 1: that's not that's not okay with me. You don't understand.
- 5:03Speaker 1: I'm an HR, so it's okay, and I that okay,
- 5:07Speaker 1: that's that's not okay. It doesn't matter what your job
- 5:09Speaker 1: title is, like, you can't just speak like like I
- 5:11Speaker 1: don't know you Ryan. We just kissed, and now you're
- 5:14Speaker 1: treating me this way up. No, we didn't we you
- 5:17Speaker 1: you were like showing me how people kiss on the phone.
- 5:20Speaker 1: That's that's not a kiss. But you kissed me back.
- 5:23Speaker 1: I look, I felt a little pressure. I didn't like.
- 5:26Speaker 1: I didn't stick my tongue in you or kiss you
- 5:28Speaker 1: with my lips. I made a little sound. Now I
- 5:30Speaker 1: feel like you're using me. Have you just kissed me? Like?
- 5:33Speaker 1: I like, I meant nothing to you and now you're
- 5:34Speaker 1: tossing me aside? What are you talking about? Man? I
- 5:37Speaker 1: feel I feel like like I'm like, I'm a cheap prostitute? Now,
- 5:40Speaker 1: how is that? This is nothing? Prostitute? How are you
- 5:43Speaker 1: a prostitute? What are you? Ryan? If this is how
- 5:44Speaker 1: you want to treat someone that's in your family, your
- 5:47Speaker 1: business family, then I don't know. Maybe this isn't the
- 5:49Speaker 1: right job for you. Maybe you're right, Maybe I don't
- 5:52Speaker 1: goul on there all right, because I'm not okay with
- 5:54Speaker 1: kissing a bunch of randos on the mouth every single day. Okay, Well,
