- 1:30SPEAKER_03: One minute 30 seconds into it.
- 1:32SPEAKER_03: And you already hit me with the W D Y M.
- 1:35SPEAKER_03: Two for one today is we're gonna play everybody's favorite game here on the WDIWDYM.
- 1:41SPEAKER_03: Can't mess up my own podcast name.
- 1:44SPEAKER_03: The game is something we play with all former employees, right?
- 1:48SPEAKER_03: This one is were they a good employee?
- 1:52SPEAKER_03: Where we talk about previous employees and we ask four simple questions.
- 1:56SPEAKER_03: Without further ado, let's get it.
- 2:19SPEAKER_03: Lily only lasted three weeks, if that.
- 2:24SPEAKER_03: So the questions we have to ask are a little bit conscrewed.
- 2:29SPEAKER_03: We have to go about the whole experience we had with Lily.
- 2:34SPEAKER_03: Okay.
- 2:35SPEAKER_03: It all starts with the interview process.
- 2:37SPEAKER_03: Now, when I do interviews, I always keep myself stonewalled, which means a blank expression, hand on the face, and head nods.
- 2:45SPEAKER_03: That's that's about all you get in the interview process.
- 2:47SPEAKER_03: Because I don't want you to know that I like you, I don't like you.
- 2:50SPEAKER_03: You're just getting a straight stone face with everything.
- 2:52SPEAKER_03: Like, hey, what's your name?
- 2:53SPEAKER_03: She says, My name's Lily, so okay.
- 2:56SPEAKER_03: Okay, tell us how you found out about the job.
- 2:58SPEAKER_03: That's about all you're gonna get from me, is right there.
- 3:01SPEAKER_03: Stonewall and let the conversation break break away the wall, so to speak.
- 3:07SPEAKER_03: So therefore, hey, you said something, then we break into it as far as how you are acceptable to the job.
- 3:15SPEAKER_03: This situation, it's me and my boss, Nate, and we're sitting right, you know, we're sitting on the opposite side of Lily, right?
- 3:22SPEAKER_03: And during the whole conversation with Lily, it's going pretty darn well.
- 3:26SPEAKER_03: It's like, hey, you know, tell us about your work experience.
- 3:29SPEAKER_03: And she has great work experience.
- 3:31SPEAKER_03: Hey, I was a leader at the former club, at the uh former job.
- 3:35SPEAKER_03: So everything is good.
- 3:37SPEAKER_03: I'm like, okay, that's that's great.
- 3:38SPEAKER_03: And then we try to, or at least my tactic is try to get you to talk about, to talk about your personal life.
- 3:45SPEAKER_03: Like figure out, like, hey, what are you into?
- 3:48SPEAKER_03: Tell me some things about your life outside of work, because work is not about everything.
- 3:52SPEAKER_03: And we're starting to talk, and she's hints off us she likes Disney movies.
- 3:56SPEAKER_03: So, like me and Nancy, like, we're shaking our head, like, yeah, this is this is we like somebody like Disney.
- 4:01SPEAKER_03: We we try to dabble in Star Wars.
- 4:03SPEAKER_03: Now, if she's a Star Wars fan, she probably automatically got the job, right?
- 4:09SPEAKER_03: So if you just like, hey, yeah, Luke Skywalker has a blue lights, I'm like, you're hired.
- 4:14SPEAKER_03: You know, we don't, we're not, we're not here to judge.
- 4:16SPEAKER_03: You know, hey, if you know Star Wars at least a little bit, you might automatically have the job.
- 4:21SPEAKER_03: That's a joke, of course.
- 4:23SPEAKER_03: So we're talking, we talk about Disney, we dabble in the Star Wars, and she I get this general sense that she has she's enjoying the interview because she's starting to laugh and smile more.
- 4:34SPEAKER_03: So, and we're me and Nate are also laughing and smiling more too, right?
- 4:40SPEAKER_03: So, towards the middle to end of the interview process, she's like, hey guys, you know, I want to be honest with you.
- 4:47SPEAKER_03: And that immediately causes like me to go back to Stonewall.
- 4:50SPEAKER_03: Like, wait a minute, you haven't been honest with us this whole time?
- 4:54SPEAKER_03: She's like, No, no, I have, but I have to be honest with you.
- 4:57SPEAKER_03: I'm like, okay.
- 4:59SPEAKER_03: What what what we what are we talking about here?
- 5:02SPEAKER_03: I'm a little nervous now.
- 5:05SPEAKER_03: Well, what are you gonna be honest with?
- 5:07SPEAKER_03: She's like, okay, well, you know, um, I've gotten in trouble before.
- 5:10SPEAKER_03: I'm like, okay, then you know, we all get in trouble.
- 5:12SPEAKER_03: You know, we're not here to judge your past.
- 5:15SPEAKER_03: We're here to, you know, we're judging you right now.
- 5:17SPEAKER_03: She's like, yeah, I appreciate that, guys.
- 5:18SPEAKER_03: Well, you know, uh, I got in trouble for stealing.
- 5:21SPEAKER_03: And I'm looking at, I was stealing?

- 8:21SPEAKER_03: No, there's there's no, no, no, no.
- 8:24SPEAKER_03: So she exits the interview, and me and Nate were just sitting there like in like leaning back in our chair, like, whoa, like son.

- 8:57SPEAKER_03: Like that stuff.
- 8:59SPEAKER_03: She's like, Yeah, well, you know, Mike, you know, she interviewed really well.
- 9:02SPEAKER_03: I'm like, yeah, you're right, mate.
- 9:04SPEAKER_03: You're right.
- 9:08SPEAKER_03: We're gonna hire her, ain't we?

- 9:25SPEAKER_03: He said, exactly.
- 9:26SPEAKER_03: So Lily, so Lily's on board.
- 9:31SPEAKER_03: We hire her as a lead, and again, mind you, let's do a quick recap.
- 9:36SPEAKER_03: She lasted three weeks.
- 9:40SPEAKER_03: So now that we're in, she's on board, we talk.
- 9:44SPEAKER_03: Hey, you know, hey, Lily, I'm so glad you're on the team.
- 9:47SPEAKER_03: She's like, yo, during the interview, I couldn't read you for a second, Michael.
- 9:51SPEAKER_03: I said, That's the whole purpose, Lily.
- 9:53SPEAKER_03: Like, you're not gonna read me.
- 9:55SPEAKER_03: It's like, yeah, I couldn't tell.
- 9:56SPEAKER_03: I didn't think you liked me at all.
- 9:57SPEAKER_03: I mean, you know, I don't judge a book by its cover.
- 10:00SPEAKER_03: I started reading the chapters, and I got to chapter four where it said cracking.
- 10:03SPEAKER_03: I was like, oh, okay, well.
- 10:05SPEAKER_00: No, no, no, no, no.
- 10:06SPEAKER_03: But I digress.
- 10:07SPEAKER_03: You're here.
- 10:09SPEAKER_03: Let's do it.
- 10:09SPEAKER_03: Let's let's do it.
- 10:11SPEAKER_03: So I'm not calling her.
- 10:13SPEAKER_03: I hey, she's the one that came out and told us she likes to dabble with the rocks.
- 10:18SPEAKER_03: Okay.
- 10:18SPEAKER_03: So I'm like, whatever.
- 10:20SPEAKER_03: I'm not here to judge you on what you've done in the past.
- 10:24SPEAKER_03: I'm here to judge you what you do now.
- 10:26SPEAKER_03: What she does now is this.
- 10:29SPEAKER_05: I'm not saying she's a crackhead, but she's very crackish.
- 10:33SPEAKER_03: She's doing crackish type stuff.
- 10:38SPEAKER_03: Okay?
- 10:39SPEAKER_03: Prime example.
- 10:40SPEAKER_03: Again, mind you, this is three weeks worth of work we got, right?
- 10:44SPEAKER_03: So the first thing that I notice is she gets a new phone number within three weeks.
- 10:52SPEAKER_05: To me, I'm not saying she's a crackhead, but she's very crackish.
- 10:57SPEAKER_03: Now I know phones break and everything.
- 11:00SPEAKER_03: But you get two numbers within a span of three weeks.
- 11:05SPEAKER_03: I don't know about that.
- 11:06SPEAKER_03: That's very crackish.
- 11:09SPEAKER_03: Right?
- 11:09SPEAKER_03: That's one example of her antics.
- 11:12SPEAKER_03: Another antic that I was like, wait a minute.
- 11:15SPEAKER_03: I can I'm getting calls from my leads.
- 11:17SPEAKER_03: Lee's like, hey, you need to get down here.
- 11:19SPEAKER_03: Lily's acting crazy.
- 11:20SPEAKER_03: I said, How is she acting crazy?
- 11:22SPEAKER_03: Like, she keeps asking people for money.
- 11:25SPEAKER_03: I said, Really?
- 11:26SPEAKER_03: I'm like, hold on.
- 11:27SPEAKER_03: Like, you asking people for money?
- 11:29SPEAKER_03: What's going on?
- 11:29SPEAKER_03: So I jet down there, talked to my lead.
- 11:31SPEAKER_03: My lead's like, yeah, this is the situation.
- 11:33SPEAKER_03: One of the cooks dropped$40.
- 11:35SPEAKER_03: She found it, picked it up, gave it to him, and then a couple hours later came back and asked, Hey, can I borrow 20 of that?
- 11:40SPEAKER_03: I said, Wow, she's not a crackhead, she's just I'm crackish.
- 11:46SPEAKER_03: Crack ish.
- 11:47SPEAKER_03: How are you gonna ask somebody?
- 11:50SPEAKER_03: You drop 40, can I get half that?
- 11:53SPEAKER_03: Just just take the whole context out of it.
- 11:56SPEAKER_03: Just to go somebody, say, hey man, I know you got$40.
- 11:59SPEAKER_03: Can I borrow half of that?
- 12:00SPEAKER_03: Like, dude, you don't even know, and you don't even know me.
- 12:03SPEAKER_03: How are you gonna ask somebody for that?
- 12:05SPEAKER_03: This is her first full week here with us.
- 12:08SPEAKER_03: She's already bumming for money.
- 12:10SPEAKER_03: And the cook gave it to her.
- 12:12SPEAKER_03: I said, okay, okay, you know, that's not you that's not wrong.
- 12:16SPEAKER_03: She, you know, that's not something you can get in trouble for.
- 12:20SPEAKER_03: It just does it's frowned upon.
- 12:21SPEAKER_03: Because, you know, people asking you for money.
- 12:23SPEAKER_03: You how do you feel when people ask you for money all the time?
- 12:25SPEAKER_03: You just like, man, this mug, this dude be always asking, you broke.
- 12:29SPEAKER_03: Why?
- 12:30SPEAKER_03: Like, it gives a negative feeling when people ask you for money.
- 12:35SPEAKER_03: And it wasn't just the cook.
- 12:37SPEAKER_03: She started asking everybody.
- 12:39SPEAKER_05: Now, again, I'm I'm not saying she's a crackhead, but she's very crackish.
- 12:44SPEAKER_03: Crackish.
- 12:45SPEAKER_03: She's asking everybody for money.
- 12:48SPEAKER_03: Everybody.
- 12:49SPEAKER_03: I'm getting multiple texts.
- 12:51SPEAKER_03: Hey man, what's going on with Lily?
- 12:53SPEAKER_03: She's asking me for, hey man.
- 12:55SPEAKER_03: Lily came up and asked me for money, hey man.
- 12:58SPEAKER_03: She cornered me in the room asking for money.
- 13:01SPEAKER_03: I said, look, Hill.
- 13:03SPEAKER_03: I said, I'm gonna go handle this.
- 13:05SPEAKER_03: Now, the thing with Lily, Lily is like 5'11, six feet almost.
- 13:10SPEAKER_03: I'm 5'5, 1.5.
- 13:12SPEAKER_03: Shut up.
- 13:13SPEAKER_03: It's a size thing, but it's like, how do I approach somebody that's nah?
- 13:17SPEAKER_03: It doesn't matter.
- 13:18SPEAKER_03: I turn, I put that TI hat, put my Sergeant Gillespie on to look here.
- 13:24SPEAKER_03: Rumor goes around that you've been asking people for money.
- 13:28SPEAKER_03: She's like, well, yeah, I'm having tough times.
- 13:30SPEAKER_03: You know, I need a little extra money.
- 13:32SPEAKER_03: I said, you working, right?
- 13:33SPEAKER_03: She says, yeah.
- 13:34SPEAKER_03: So I need you to quit asking people for money.
- 13:36SPEAKER_03: You're making this a real weird situation, giving bad vibes in the work area.
- 13:41SPEAKER_03: We don't want that here, okay?
- 13:42SPEAKER_03: We don't want to hear that one of the best uh senior senior facilities in Butler County.
- 13:48SPEAKER_03: Like, we don't do that here.
- 13:49SPEAKER_03: You work, you get paid, you can take an advance on your pay if you really need the money.
- 13:54SPEAKER_03: She's like, oh, I didn't know that.
- 13:55SPEAKER_03: So yeah, you can do that.
- 13:57SPEAKER_03: So, okay.
- 13:58SPEAKER_03: Problem solved.
- 13:59SPEAKER_03: That's okay.
- 14:00SPEAKER_03: So don't be asking people for no more money.
- 14:02SPEAKER_03: The problems still didn't start.
- 14:04SPEAKER_03: Again.
- 14:05SPEAKER_05: But she's very crackish.
- 14:07SPEAKER_03: Okay.
- 14:08SPEAKER_03: Secondly, she started showing up late all the time, disappearing all the time.
- 14:15SPEAKER_03: Calling off work, but not calling off work.
- 14:18SPEAKER_03: Like, what's going on?
- 14:20SPEAKER_03: So the example is like, so as a lead, you're supposed to check on people.
- 14:25SPEAKER_03: Check on people.
- 14:26SPEAKER_03: Check on this dining room.
- 14:27SPEAKER_03: Check on that dining room.
- 14:28SPEAKER_03: Check on that dining room.
- 14:30SPEAKER_03: Hey, you guys doing okay?
- 14:31SPEAKER_03: You need anything?
- 14:32SPEAKER_03: I'm here to help.
- 14:33SPEAKER_03: I go back, go get you some fruit punch, bring it back, drink it, yum.
- 14:36SPEAKER_03: Good.
- 14:37SPEAKER_03: Done.
- 14:38SPEAKER_03: Woo-hoo.
- 14:40SPEAKER_03: Right?
- 14:41SPEAKER_03: So it gives the lead some wiggle room.
- 14:44SPEAKER_03: Unless there is no wiggle room and we're short.
- 14:46SPEAKER_03: And therefore you have the lead has to be in a position.
- 14:49SPEAKER_03: Tell me why she just disappeared.
- 14:50SPEAKER_03: Everybody like, well, we didn't have help today in our dining room.
- 14:53SPEAKER_03: Well, I said, Well, we were short, were we short today?
- 14:55SPEAKER_03: So yeah.
- 14:56SPEAKER_03: So where's Lily at?
- 14:58SPEAKER_03: I don't know.
- 14:58SPEAKER_03: I didn't see her.
- 15:00SPEAKER_03: So I gotta go look around for Lily.
- 15:03SPEAKER_03: So anybody see Lily?
- 15:04SPEAKER_03: Anybody see Lily?
- 15:05SPEAKER_03: Like, no, I ain't seen her.
- 15:06SPEAKER_03: Then someone's like, Yeah, she's out there smoking.
- 15:09SPEAKER_03: That's oh.
- 15:10SPEAKER_03: It's a no-smoke facility at Bartley County's best senior facility.
- 15:14SPEAKER_03: We don't smoke on the campus.
- 15:16unknown: Right.
- 15:17SPEAKER_03: So I go up to her and say, hey, what are you doing?
- 15:19SPEAKER_03: Oh, I just thought I'd get a smoke bag and she had a styrofoam container.
- 15:23SPEAKER_03: She used to eat.
- 15:24SPEAKER_03: I said, Are you eating?
- 15:26SPEAKER_03: She's like, Yeah, I was hungry.
- 15:27SPEAKER_03: I said, now's not the time for us to eat.
- 15:29SPEAKER_03: We're in the middle of service and you're hungry.
- 15:31SPEAKER_03: And then it's like, well, I wanted to make sure I got some.
- 15:34SPEAKER_03: I said, I said.
- 15:36SPEAKER_05: I'm not saying she's a crackhead, but she's very crackish.
- 15:40SPEAKER_03: I said, look here, seniors come first.
- 15:42SPEAKER_03: Our residents come first.
- 15:44SPEAKER_03: You can't just be sitting here eating because you won't, you want some of this.
- 15:47SPEAKER_03: I guarantee you're gonna get something to eat afterwards, right?
- 15:50SPEAKER_03: What's wrong with you?
- 15:51SPEAKER_03: Like we immediately, like that, that no that was in my head, I should have stuck with it.
- 15:57SPEAKER_03: I should be like, nah, this is not a good hire.
- 15:59SPEAKER_03: She already admitted, she done this stuff.
- 16:01SPEAKER_03: This is not gonna work.
- 16:03SPEAKER_03: Anyway, so that was that was strike two.
- 16:06SPEAKER_03: Another thing, we have a point system, like we discussed earlier.
- 16:10SPEAKER_03: And uh she's like, she called off, okay, cool, you know, call off, it happens.
- 16:15SPEAKER_03: Call off again, okay.
- 16:16SPEAKER_03: You know, it happens.
- 16:17SPEAKER_03: Like, mind you, you've been here only two weeks, you've already called off three times.
- 16:21SPEAKER_03: My other my other coworkers are yo, this is ridiculous.
- 16:24SPEAKER_03: Like, you need to get this in control, Mike, because I'm in charge of the servers, he's in charge of the cooks.
- 16:29SPEAKER_03: He's like, yo, this one's called off like twice, and we told her we want to point her, and then she just cool with it.
- 16:35SPEAKER_03: So again, we get to the point where she gets calls off again.
- 16:38SPEAKER_03: Paperwork.
- 16:39SPEAKER_03: It's time to get the paperwork going, okay?
- 16:41SPEAKER_03: You don't mess up.
- 16:42SPEAKER_03: I mean, you just sign this sheet saying I'm f uh uh uh oops, that I'm a mess up.
- 16:47SPEAKER_03: So, you know, you sign this paper, I don't know what to do.
- 16:50SPEAKER_03: She's crying, and at this point, I'm like I don't care about your tears.
- 16:53SPEAKER_03: I'm like, I don't care about your tears.
- 16:55SPEAKER_03: I I said that.
- 16:55SPEAKER_03: Like, I don't care about your tears.
- 16:57SPEAKER_03: Look, you don't got yourself in this situation, it's cause and effect because you you you ain't working, because you you lied to me and Nate in the interview process, because you ain't a leader, I don't want to see you crying.
- 17:08SPEAKER_03: You better do better.
- 17:09SPEAKER_03: Like, well, how do I do better?
- 17:12SPEAKER_03: I'm like, I don't know.
- 17:14SPEAKER_03: I'm just kidding.
- 17:15SPEAKER_03: I was like, look, you gotta use the routes, you gotta call people, got, hey, can you cover my shift?
- 17:19SPEAKER_03: I'll cover your shift.
- 17:20SPEAKER_03: You know, do that.
- 17:21SPEAKER_03: Like, network, okay?
- 17:22SPEAKER_03: So, okay, I get it.
- 17:24SPEAKER_03: So sober yourself up, and I'm gonna see you crying out there.
- 17:27SPEAKER_03: That's two examples of it.
- 17:29SPEAKER_03: The third and final example I'm gonna I'm gonna say with this one is because we we were having a conversation.
- 17:34SPEAKER_03: And, you know, just shooting stuff, breeze and all this stuff.
- 17:37SPEAKER_03: Yeah, how you doing?
- 17:38SPEAKER_03: You know, everything's good at home, but you know, me and my sister baby daddy are um, we're having a uh little fight or something.
- 17:45SPEAKER_03: So I'm like, okay, yeah, what can y'all fight about?
- 17:47SPEAKER_03: But then my brain was like, wait a minute, bro.
- 17:49SPEAKER_03: She says, Sister baby daddy.
- 17:50SPEAKER_03: What is that?
- 17:51SPEAKER_03: I said, You right, brain?
- 17:53SPEAKER_03: What is a sister baby daddy?
- 17:56SPEAKER_03: So it's me, her, and another coworker.
- 17:58SPEAKER_03: And I'm looking at the co-worker, she's looking at me, she's like, Did you catch that?
- 18:02SPEAKER_03: Like mentally, she's like, Did you catch that?
- 18:04SPEAKER_03: She said, Sister baby daddy.
- 18:06SPEAKER_03: And I'm like, I didn't catch it at first, but now I caught it.
- 18:08SPEAKER_03: So we're still conversating, and then my brain says, Hey, you need to speak up, find out what a sister baby daddy is, because now I'm interested.
- 18:13SPEAKER_03: I said, Great, granted, brain.
- 18:15SPEAKER_03: I said, I said, uh, Lily, what's a sister baby daddy?
- 18:18SPEAKER_03: She said, Oh, well, me and another woman, we both have kids by the same daddy.
- 18:25SPEAKER_03: I said, Oh, that's that's that's cool, I think.
- 18:29SPEAKER_03: I'm like, all right, that's cool.
- 18:30SPEAKER_03: So she's like, yeah, and we all live in the same house.
- 18:33SPEAKER_03: I said, Oh.
- 18:35SPEAKER_03: So this is that Utah stuff where, you know, he's married, he's the man, and he got multiple wives.
- 18:40SPEAKER_03: No, it's not like that.
- 18:41SPEAKER_03: I said, it's not.
- 18:42SPEAKER_03: I said, okay.
- 18:43SPEAKER_03: What is it again?
- 18:44SPEAKER_03: She said, yeah, this is just my sister baby daddy.
- 18:46SPEAKER_03: So it's like some kind of what is this, a cult?
- 18:48SPEAKER_03: What?
- 18:49SPEAKER_03: I'm confused that you have something like this and you're okay with that.
- 18:54SPEAKER_03: Again.
- 18:55SPEAKER_05: I'm not saying she's a crackhead, but she's very crackish.
- 18:59SPEAKER_03: Who does that?
- 19:01SPEAKER_03: All right, I've touched it enough.
- 19:03SPEAKER_03: So le needless to say, those are the key moments.
- 19:07SPEAKER_03: Were they good at their job?
- 19:09SPEAKER_03: Did they do that job?
- 19:10SPEAKER_03: All those are nephatic.
- 19:12SPEAKER_03: No.
- 19:13SPEAKER_03: No, no, no, no, hold on.
- 19:15SPEAKER_03: No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
- 19:29SPEAKER_03: No, no, no, no, no.
- 19:32SPEAKER_03: Last question is, are they rehirable?
- 19:35SPEAKER_03: And you already know the answer to that.
- 19:36SPEAKER_03: No, no.
- 19:38SPEAKER_03: So we had to eventually let her go.
- 19:39SPEAKER_03: She got mad over she was gonna miss work again, and it's like, you know what, you keep missing work, you you're it's just not gonna work.
- 19:46SPEAKER_03: And she's like, well, if I keep getting all these points together, then yeah, I just consider this my two-week notice.
- 19:52SPEAKER_03: And we just like, no, you know what?
- 19:54SPEAKER_03: Don't even worry about two-week notice.
- 19:56SPEAKER_03: Just don't even come back because you you just yeah.
- 20:00SPEAKER_03: So needless to say, Lily got termed, wished her best in her future endeavors.
- 20:06SPEAKER_03: But uh, if that was bad, I got something even worse.
- 20:13SPEAKER_03: And this one almost lasted a whole year.
- 20:15SPEAKER_03: Now, when I hire somebody, you try to work things, you know, you try to hire somebody, you try to see what their strengths and weaknesses are, you know, you try to balance it out and try to give people a chance to thrive, right?
- 20:29SPEAKER_03: Um this one was was a headache in a handbasket, all in the same breath.
- 20:36SPEAKER_03: I have never met someone like Ms.
- 20:39SPEAKER_03: Cooper.
- 20:40SPEAKER_03: Ms.
- 20:40SPEAKER_03: Cooper.
- 20:42SPEAKER_03: She was a special one.
- 20:43SPEAKER_03: The thing with Ms.
- 20:44SPEAKER_03: Cooper was that I tried.
- 20:47SPEAKER_03: I tried to to make things balance for her.
- 20:55SPEAKER_03: She had transportation issues, and we all volunteered.
- 20:58SPEAKER_03: We had in my in my facility, we had cowboy.
- 21:02SPEAKER_03: Let's just call this one cowboy.
- 21:04SPEAKER_03: And the thing with Cowboy is that he's possibly one of the happiest people I ever met at the time.
- 21:10SPEAKER_03: Cowboy was just loved his music, he loved dance, he loved the cook, he loved, or I should say, he loves all that stuff, right?
- 21:19SPEAKER_03: And to see someone zap the energy out of Cowboy kills me because again, Cowboy was a he's he's a good guy.
- 21:29SPEAKER_03: He's he really is, he's a good guy.
- 21:31SPEAKER_03: But as soon as you mix oil and water, it just doesn't mix.
- 21:37SPEAKER_03: Was oil, water, vinegar, salt, sugar, sh everything in a in one human being.
- 21:43SPEAKER_03: I've never met somebody so combative at first.
- 21:47SPEAKER_03: I would try to work with her so many things.
- 21:50SPEAKER_03: Like because again, transportation was an issue.
- 21:53SPEAKER_03: I didn't like falter for that.
- 21:55SPEAKER_03: I didn't falter for that.
- 21:56SPEAKER_03: But she would get in trouble by doing silly things on the outside.
- 22:00SPEAKER_03: Like prime example, some of the examples, she would come in and she immediately have an attitude.
- 22:05SPEAKER_03: Why why is this a thing?
- 22:06SPEAKER_03: Why is this thing?
- 22:07SPEAKER_03: She would come in and it would it immediately be like mortal combat.
- 22:11SPEAKER_03: Like it would this is exactly where I go.
- 22:13SPEAKER_02: Hey, what's up?
- 22:14SPEAKER_02: What's up?
- 22:15SPEAKER_02: I'm saying what you want to do.
- 22:17SPEAKER_02: What's up?
- 22:17SPEAKER_02: What you mean when I do me?
- 22:18SPEAKER_02: Hey, what's up?
- 22:19unknown: What do you talking about?
- 22:20SPEAKER_03: Like, literally, what are you talking about?
- 22:22SPEAKER_03: I'm just saying hello.
- 22:23SPEAKER_03: And she's automatically combative as heck.
- 22:26SPEAKER_03: Like, what?
- 22:26SPEAKER_03: I'm just saying, that's that was the norm.
- 22:28SPEAKER_03: We always say, like, hey, hi McKinsey.
- 22:30SPEAKER_03: Hey, Michael.
- 22:31SPEAKER_03: What's up, cowboy?
- 22:32SPEAKER_03: Hey, Riley.
- 22:33SPEAKER_03: That was it.
- 22:33SPEAKER_03: That was the general gist of it.
- 22:35SPEAKER_03: She would come in.
- 22:36SPEAKER_02: Hey, what's up?
- 22:38SPEAKER_02: What's up?
- 22:38SPEAKER_02: I'm saying what you want to do?
- 22:40SPEAKER_02: What's up?
- 22:41SPEAKER_02: Ready to fight?
- 22:42SPEAKER_02: Hey, what's up?
- 22:43unknown: What are you talking about?
- 22:44SPEAKER_03: What are you talking about?
- 22:45SPEAKER_03: So she would come in combative, like, I'm not doing this.
- 22:48SPEAKER_01: I'm not doing that.
- 22:50SPEAKER_01: I'm not doing this.
- 22:51SPEAKER_03: Like, what?
- 22:51SPEAKER_03: Like, I never met somebody that tells their boss what they not gonna do.
- 22:56SPEAKER_03: Period.
- 22:56SPEAKER_03: Period.
- 22:56SPEAKER_03: Now, I think I'm a fault for that for being so open and you know, hey, I'm trying to work with you.
- 23:02SPEAKER_03: Hey, I'm trying to work with you.
- 23:04SPEAKER_03: Hey, let's work together so we can get a solution together.
- 23:07SPEAKER_03: No, no.
- 23:07SPEAKER_03: This is the things that she would, she was, she would send.
- 23:11SPEAKER_03: So we had this thing called group me.
- 23:13SPEAKER_03: So group me was something that we could communicate, say, hey, look, the service, or somebody would be like, hey, I can't make my shift.
- 23:19SPEAKER_03: Someone wanted to trade me, or hey, I want to be 15 minutes late.
- 23:22SPEAKER_03: Communication, right?
- 23:23SPEAKER_03: The thing with Ms.
- 23:24SPEAKER_03: Cooper is that she would complain after work about things, things that are out of control.
- 23:30SPEAKER_03: So these are some of the messages that I have.
- 23:33SPEAKER_03: These are only some because I got a new phone.
- 23:36SPEAKER_03: So therefore, I lost a crap ton of messages from her.
- 23:41SPEAKER_03: So these are all her messages.
- 23:44SPEAKER_01: One day soon I really need to sit down and talk to you on a personal level because I love my job.
- 23:49SPEAKER_01: I've been messed over at my last job because I came to work.
- 23:53SPEAKER_01: To work, I have my bills to pay.
- 23:55SPEAKER_01: I'm a team player, I do my job to the fullest, and I've been there a month, and I've gotten a lot of compliments.
- 24:01SPEAKER_01: Will you be there tomorrow?
- 24:03SPEAKER_03: I reply, I am the cook tomorrow, I will be there.
- 24:06SPEAKER_03: Was that the end of the conversation?
- 24:08SPEAKER_03: That absolutely was.
- 24:09SPEAKER_03: She would not follow through on what this personal thing that she wanted to talk about.
- 24:14SPEAKER_03: Like, okay.
- 24:15SPEAKER_03: Weird, but let's continue.
- 24:17SPEAKER_03: Another example.
- 24:18SPEAKER_03: Again, after work.
- 24:21SPEAKER_01: I don't know about next Sunday.
- 24:23SPEAKER_01: I wish you would ask me, have a football game with my grandson.
- 24:27SPEAKER_01: Why can't someone else do a devil?
- 24:28SPEAKER_01: They do that on the weekend anyway.
- 24:30SPEAKER_01: I don't think it's fair.
- 24:31SPEAKER_03: I said, what is not fair?
- 24:39SPEAKER_03: Listen, we don't guarantee weekends.
- 24:42SPEAKER_03: We've never guaranteed weekends because we hurt four people.
- 24:46SPEAKER_03: I'm trying to fill in the spot.
- 24:47SPEAKER_03: You are a full-time employee.
- 24:50SPEAKER_03: You are expected to work when I need you to work.
- 24:52SPEAKER_03: As long as you get your 40 hours, right?
- 24:54SPEAKER_03: I need to t I need to talk to you.
- 24:57SPEAKER_03: No.
- 24:57SPEAKER_03: Again, maybe that's my fault for being so open.
- 25:01SPEAKER_03: That was one of her things.
- 25:02SPEAKER_03: Another thing she would complain about.
- 25:04SPEAKER_01: How come my days are not together?
- 25:06SPEAKER_03: And I said, and I reply, first week or second week, because I put two weeks worth of schedules out.
- 25:12SPEAKER_03: So you can at least plan the next two weeks out.
- 25:15SPEAKER_03: That's what we're saying.
- 25:17SPEAKER_01: I'm over it.
- 25:18SPEAKER_01: I none of this is right.
- 25:19SPEAKER_01: I'm not playing this game no more to fit my life around those girls.
- 25:23SPEAKER_01: Not doing it, having a night.
- 25:26SPEAKER_03: And I reply, and I reply, did you even read the schedule?
- 25:32SPEAKER_03: The schedule says you're off on Saturday and Sunday.
- 25:36SPEAKER_03: Those are two days together.
- 25:38SPEAKER_03: Why are you not reading the schedule?
- 25:40SPEAKER_03: She's not reading the schedule.
- 25:42SPEAKER_03: She will continue.
- 25:43SPEAKER_01: I guess someone changed their mind and doing mornings, huh?
- 25:46SPEAKER_01: Why so many mornings?
- 25:47SPEAKER_01: But you know what?
- 25:48SPEAKER_01: It don't matter.
- 25:49SPEAKER_01: Waste of my energy.
- 25:52SPEAKER_03: I'm like, is it too much?
- 25:55SPEAKER_01: Just changing my body back and forth.
- 25:58SPEAKER_01: Curious why suddenly changes on give me all mornings.
- 26:01SPEAKER_01: It's cool.
- 26:02SPEAKER_03: Then I explained to her, okay, one employee has a funeral on Saturday, and it's for your Wednesday.
- 26:08SPEAKER_03: You usually do you usually do the AM shift and and Monday.
- 26:11SPEAKER_03: Again, one of my employees is off.
- 26:14SPEAKER_03: You are the full-time employee, therefore your schedule has to adjust.
- 26:18SPEAKER_03: She couldn't comprehend that notion.
- 26:20SPEAKER_03: Do you see the the energy that it takes dealing with this person?
- 26:24SPEAKER_03: Again, I kind of blame myself for being such an open person, but it couldn't happen.
- 26:28SPEAKER_03: And then here's here on top of it.
- 26:31SPEAKER_03: The reason why I had to switch her off morning shift.
- 26:36SPEAKER_03: Because her and Cowboy were fighting.
- 26:37SPEAKER_03: Again, the oil and water thing, I would not even be at the building, right?
- 26:41SPEAKER_03: Minding my business.
- 26:42SPEAKER_03: Working at another facility in Butler County.
- 26:44SPEAKER_03: One of the best facilities in Butler County, mind you.
- 26:46SPEAKER_01: And she's like, Michael, you need to get over here.
- 26:49SPEAKER_03: I said, So what what do I need to come over there for?
- 26:52SPEAKER_01: I said, uh Cowboy just threw a sandwich at me.
- 26:56SPEAKER_03: I said, I said, what?
- 26:58SPEAKER_03: She said, Cowboy has threw a sandwich at me.
- 27:02SPEAKER_03: I said, okay, okay.
- 27:04SPEAKER_03: So let me call Cowboy and find out what's going on.
- 27:08SPEAKER_03: So I c I get on the phone and call Cowboy.
- 27:11SPEAKER_03: Cowboy's like, yo, man, I can't I can't deal with this one.
- 27:14SPEAKER_03: I said, I said, why do you think I'm at this other facility?
- 27:18SPEAKER_03: I can't deal with her.
- 27:19SPEAKER_03: He said, man, listen, she's driving me crazy, man.
- 27:21SPEAKER_03: I said, guess what?
- 27:22SPEAKER_03: All right, let me handle this.
- 27:24SPEAKER_03: So I I tell my boss, Nate, I said, Nate, so you know that one you got me over there, that's crazy.
- 27:28SPEAKER_03: He said, Oh, I said, yeah.
- 27:30SPEAKER_03: Well, allegedly they're throwing sandwiches at each other.
- 27:32SPEAKER_03: It's like they're throwing sandwiches at each other.
- 27:34SPEAKER_03: I said, they are throwing sandwiches at each other.
- 27:36SPEAKER_03: He's like, you know what that means, Michael?
- 27:38SPEAKER_03: I said, what?
- 27:39SPEAKER_03: Says it's time for an investigation.
- 27:43SPEAKER_03: An investigation?
- 27:45SPEAKER_03: Say, yes, Mike, an investigation.
- 27:48SPEAKER_03: So shoot.
- 27:49SPEAKER_03: No, I don't want investigations.
- 27:53SPEAKER_03: An investigation is where me and Ornate take time of our daily schedule to find out what's going on.
- 28:00SPEAKER_03: Who threw the sandwich?
- 28:01SPEAKER_03: Who did this?
- 28:02SPEAKER_03: Who did that?
- 28:02SPEAKER_03: Why'd you do this?
- 28:03SPEAKER_03: Where were you at when the sandwich was thrown?
- 28:04SPEAKER_03: What kind of sandwich was thrown?
- 28:06SPEAKER_03: Did you throw a deli sandwich?
- 28:07SPEAKER_03: Did you waste my turkey?
- 28:08SPEAKER_03: Why didn't you throw in a deli sandwich with a ham salad?
- 28:10SPEAKER_03: You know, gotta do that.
- 28:11SPEAKER_03: An investigation.
- 28:14SPEAKER_03: So that was one of the things that was all about.
- 28:20SPEAKER_03: A little bit of chaos.
- 28:21SPEAKER_03: Okay.
- 28:22SPEAKER_03: It goes on.
- 28:23SPEAKER_03: Now mind you, these are texts.
- 28:26SPEAKER_03: Text messages that she's sending her boss.
- 28:28SPEAKER_03: Let me take let me ask you guys something.
- 28:30SPEAKER_03: Do you ever text your boss and be like, I'm not gonna do this, I'm do this, I'm tired of this, da da da da, and be in the positive?
- 28:38SPEAKER_03: No?
- 28:39SPEAKER_03: Okay, just checking.
- 28:40SPEAKER_03: Next message.
- 28:41SPEAKER_01: I'm gonna go by this one, Michael.
- 28:43SPEAKER_01: I'm overgoing back and forth with my employment.
- 28:46SPEAKER_01: No one communicates to me.
- 28:47SPEAKER_01: I so I got enough stress on me.
- 28:50SPEAKER_01: Schedule continues to be revised without my knowledge.
- 28:53SPEAKER_01: Like I'm stupid.
- 28:54SPEAKER_01: I deserve better respect from as an employee.
- 28:57SPEAKER_01: Maybe HR can help me.
- 28:59SPEAKER_03: So, oh, you wanna threaten me with HR.
- 29:02SPEAKER_03: This is my response.
- 29:03SPEAKER_03: Okay.
- 29:03SPEAKER_03: Remember, this was a revision when the girls picked up hours and it's posted on the wall all week.
- 29:09SPEAKER_03: Do you not look?
- 29:10SPEAKER_01: Says she says, It's been blacked out, roll on more more than once this week.
- 29:14SPEAKER_01: 10 30 to 6 30.
- 29:16SPEAKER_01: Have a good evening.
- 29:17SPEAKER_03: So I said, so I send her a picture.
- 29:19SPEAKER_03: Oh, you mean a computer generated one?
- 29:21SPEAKER_03: She would go.
- 29:23SPEAKER_01: Yes, you would say that.
- 29:25SPEAKER_01: I've listened to people who respect my work at Jameson telling me to go to HR.
- 29:30SPEAKER_01: Everybody sees it, sir.
- 29:32SPEAKER_03: So I just send her the big old thumb up emoji.
- 29:34SPEAKER_03: If you want to do go to HR, feel free.
- 29:38SPEAKER_03: Go.
- 29:39SPEAKER_03: Please.
- 29:41SPEAKER_03: One of the other messages, and this is pretty much the end of it, so to speak.
- 29:47SPEAKER_03: So again, we always have when people eat late and stuff and we don't get able to collect collect their trays.
- 29:53SPEAKER_03: There's normally like maybe two, three, four, maybe five, maybe six.
- 29:57SPEAKER_03: But no, usually no more than that.
- 29:59SPEAKER_03: Eight o'clock in the morning, she goes.
- 30:01SPEAKER_01: Six trays from last night.
- 30:03SPEAKER_01: How many eggs worked?
- 30:04SPEAKER_01: When I left Thursday, I stacked butter, clean cheese, wiped under the juice machine, and so forth.
- 30:10SPEAKER_01: Today's food wasn't stocked, cereal wasn't stocked, nurse station ice, ice cream still in boxes, juice tray wasn't clean.
- 30:17SPEAKER_01: Basically, same messiness going on from the day I started, June 27th.
- 30:22SPEAKER_01: I've been getting harassed since day one.
- 30:24SPEAKER_01: Once again, I respect you, sir, but as a full-time employer, I didn't sign up for this, gossiping the way food being served on and so forth.
- 30:33SPEAKER_01: You don't share things with the girls and it's gotten back to me the next time one of your lead cooks, lead server, or whoever talks to me crazy again.
- 30:43SPEAKER_01: God help me.
- 30:44SPEAKER_01: I'm trying to follow the chain of command, but no one is addressing issues.
- 30:48SPEAKER_01: I have nothing to lose.
- 30:50SPEAKER_01: You have nothing to lose.
- 30:51SPEAKER_03: This is interesting.
- 30:52SPEAKER_03: So again, as a good boss, I'm gonna reply to your shenanigans.
- 30:57SPEAKER_03: Harassance day one.
- 30:59SPEAKER_03: Same day you were in the break room reading the paper because you thought that this is what we do?
- 31:02SPEAKER_03: Understand that we have we have new employees and things may be getting missed.
- 31:06SPEAKER_03: Things I've said is no secret to anyone.
- 31:08SPEAKER_03: It doesn't bother me.
- 31:09SPEAKER_03: Let's remember what a lead is in a position of leadership.
- 31:13SPEAKER_03: It should be respected.
- 31:15SPEAKER_03: But it appears to me that's not the case because my leads tell me how you can communicate with them, and I see how you communicate with them.
- 31:21SPEAKER_03: It's not acceptable.
- 31:22SPEAKER_03: Lastly, there always seems to be a problem.
- 31:25SPEAKER_03: Problem with cell phone or Carmella, because we're in good standings now.
- 31:29SPEAKER_03: With Cowboy, with Riley, with McKenzie, and now my new cook, John.
- 31:34SPEAKER_03: That's three out of five leads.
- 31:36SPEAKER_03: So you're telling me that it's all them.
- 31:38SPEAKER_03: I'm checking video on Monday.
- 31:40SPEAKER_03: I'd like to see what's going on.
- 31:41SPEAKER_01: So Ms.
- 31:42SPEAKER_03: Cooper, have a good night.
- 31:45SPEAKER_03: Her response?
- 31:46SPEAKER_03: Her response was, sir, I'm not reading this.
- 31:49SPEAKER_01: That's okay.
- 31:50unknown: Are you serious?
- 31:51SPEAKER_03: Like this is a Bible you sent me.
- 31:55SPEAKER_03: I send you the Bible back, and you're like, I'm not gonna read that.
- 31:57SPEAKER_01: It's okay.
- 31:58SPEAKER_03: Imagine this is the person I'm dealing with.
- 32:00SPEAKER_03: It was crazy.
- 32:02SPEAKER_03: So the final example that I have about this one.
- 32:06SPEAKER_03: So again, my daily routine is I send I send out a preschedule to everybody, either by phone or by physical copy.
- 32:14SPEAKER_03: This has always been the case.
- 32:15SPEAKER_03: I give it to my lead first, my lead checks it.
- 32:18SPEAKER_03: She says, hey, it's good with me, and then it gets disseminated to everybody else.
- 32:21SPEAKER_01: Except for Miss Cooper.
- 32:24SPEAKER_01: She's like, everybody knows a change except me.
- 32:28SPEAKER_01: And they get started.
- 32:29SPEAKER_01: Do I not have seniority?
- 32:31SPEAKER_03: I said, the schedule isn't even finished yet.
- 32:34SPEAKER_03: What are you talking about?
- 32:35SPEAKER_03: How can there be a change when it's not even done?
- 32:38SPEAKER_03: Preschedule.
- 32:39SPEAKER_01: I got bills to pay.
- 32:41SPEAKER_01: Five days off for what?
- 32:42SPEAKER_01: And I keep rescheduling my doctor appointment.
- 32:45SPEAKER_01: Nine, ten, eleven was the agreement when you asked me to do two weekends in a row.
- 32:49SPEAKER_03: Again, this is what we agreed upon when you picked up the weekends, remember?
- 32:53SPEAKER_03: And you added PTO.
- 32:54SPEAKER_03: That's pay time off.
- 32:56SPEAKER_03: Which means pay time off.
- 32:58SPEAKER_03: Are you kidding me?
- 33:00SPEAKER_03: But safe to say after that, she no longer was employed with us.
- 33:05SPEAKER_03: So, that whole segment doesn't even get music because that's how crazy Ms.
- 33:10SPEAKER_03: Cooper was.
- 33:11SPEAKER_03: Now, you may think that I was I might have been unfair to her, whatever, whatnot.
- 33:16SPEAKER_03: But when there was a lead position open, who was the first one I came to?
- 33:19unknown: I came to Ms.
- 33:20SPEAKER_03: Cooper.
- 33:21SPEAKER_03: Miss Cooper would always downplay herself.
- 33:23SPEAKER_03: A prime example, we have a lead spot open.
- 33:26SPEAKER_03: I'm like, did you apply for this?
- 33:28SPEAKER_03: I gave her the piece of paper, so you should apply for this.
- 33:31SPEAKER_03: So she goes, I ain't gonna I ain't gonna get you to get in this position.
- 33:35SPEAKER_01: I don't even do computers.
- 33:37SPEAKER_03: I said, Miss Cooper, you have a notebook?
- 33:40SPEAKER_03: You can write down all the notes you want and take the notes to the computer to do the job.
- 33:44SPEAKER_03: And she she would say this about herself.
- 33:48SPEAKER_03: Michael, you know I'm slow.
- 33:49SPEAKER_01: I can't figure it out.
- 33:51SPEAKER_01: I said, Miss Cooper.
- 33:53SPEAKER_03: You should at least try.
- 33:55SPEAKER_03: At least try.
- 33:56SPEAKER_03: Cause guess what?
- 33:57SPEAKER_03: I'm doing the interview process.
- 33:59SPEAKER_03: If I feel like you it's in you're encouraging enough to give you a shot and to pawn you off at another location, then so be it.
- 34:08SPEAKER_03: Right?
- 34:08SPEAKER_03: I'm trying to at this point, I'm just trying to get rid of her to be honest.
- 34:11SPEAKER_03: Like, yo, this one is dry.
- 34:13SPEAKER_03: I think some of the grays on top of my head is because of her.
- 34:16SPEAKER_03: I couldn't do it.
- 34:17SPEAKER_03: I couldn't do it.
- 34:19SPEAKER_03: But I tried to promote her and eventually it didn't work out, and now she's gone.
- 34:24SPEAKER_03: So nothing but the best for best keeper.
- 34:28SPEAKER_03: And whatever you're doing now.
- 34:29SPEAKER_03: Congratulations.
- 34:30SPEAKER_03: So that's the two for the one.
- 34:35SPEAKER_03: Now we're back to the original game where we can actually talk about good things.
- 34:40SPEAKER_03: Or back to the game and do the actual game and the music and all that good stuff.
- 34:44SPEAKER_03: This contestant, McKenzie, is probably one of the best employees I've had.
- 34:51SPEAKER_03: Now, where she's come and where she was taken to, two different levels.
- 34:56SPEAKER_03: When she came in, she's very soft spoken, very soft spoken, and you know, nobody hears her and all this.
- 35:03SPEAKER_03: I'm like, whatever the case may be.
- 35:06SPEAKER_03: So um when she came in, she well, this is her second stint with the company, the greatest company in Butler County, by you, by the way.
- 35:16unknown: Yeah.
- 35:16SPEAKER_03: So the first question, easy question.
- 35:19SPEAKER_03: Did they do their job?
- 35:24SPEAKER_03: Yes, this is the easy question.
- 35:26SPEAKER_03: McKinse came in, did her job, served, was great with the customers, great with the residents, great with everybody, was communicated, was able to communicate with everybody, didn't have no problems with McKenzie.
- 35:39SPEAKER_03: Now, when she became a lead, did she do everything?
- 35:43SPEAKER_03: No, but I don't fall for that because nurses like to steal.
- 35:49SPEAKER_03: Yes, they do.
- 35:50SPEAKER_03: So therefore, easy peasy lemon squeezy.
- 35:53SPEAKER_03: Did she do her job?
- 35:58SPEAKER_03: Yeah, she did her job.
- 35:59SPEAKER_03: I already told you that.
- 36:00SPEAKER_03: Easy.
- 36:02SPEAKER_03: Okay.
- 36:05SPEAKER_03: So the second question is were they good at their job?
- 36:13SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 36:14SPEAKER_03: I mean, this again, if I'm using their real name, nine out of ten, they did a good job, right?
- 36:21SPEAKER_03: And I'm proud of that.
- 36:23SPEAKER_03: They do a good job, absolutely.
- 36:25SPEAKER_03: She could do, she could do the solo, as some people have a hard time doing to this day.
- 36:30SPEAKER_03: My listen, working at my facility is not easy.
- 36:35SPEAKER_03: Again, if one person calls off, my whole operation is shot.
- 36:41SPEAKER_03: But she did it by herself, hands down, easy peasy, didn't complain, except when we had to do dishes by hand.
- 36:48SPEAKER_03: I think she complained a little bit, but I think we all did a little bit because nobody wants to wash dishes by hand.
- 36:53SPEAKER_03: So were they good at their job?
- 36:58SPEAKER_03: You hear the music.
- 37:00SPEAKER_03: Yes, she was good at her job.
- 37:02SPEAKER_03: I'd rehire her in a heartbeat.
- 37:03SPEAKER_03: Well, wait, wait, wait.
- 37:06SPEAKER_03: Ignore that one.
- 37:08SPEAKER_03: Alright.
- 37:11SPEAKER_03: So, the last question, and last question, because you already know the is she rehired.
- 37:16SPEAKER_03: Yeah, we're hiring a heartbeat.
- 37:18SPEAKER_03: Uh, last question.
- 37:19SPEAKER_03: Key moments.
- 37:20SPEAKER_03: Now, this is the thing, this is the funny thing about McKenzie that I found out lately.
- 37:27SPEAKER_03: So, we have residents that want things that they shouldn't want.
- 37:31SPEAKER_03: Prime example, we got these chocolate chunk cookies.
- 37:34SPEAKER_03: These cookies are outstanding.
- 37:37SPEAKER_03: Okay.
- 37:38SPEAKER_03: So, we had one resident ask for a cookie.
- 37:41SPEAKER_03: We gave her the cookie.
- 37:42SPEAKER_03: Against my judgment, whatever.
- 37:44SPEAKER_03: I'm the cook, I don't have time for it, whatever.
- 37:46SPEAKER_03: So, um, I'm cooking, I'm cooking this day.
- 37:50SPEAKER_03: In the corner of my eye, I see McKenzie wrapping like three or four cookies.
- 37:54SPEAKER_03: I'm like, what is she doing?
- 37:56SPEAKER_03: Alright, maybe she's taking them home.
- 37:58SPEAKER_03: Because they're really, I'm ladies and gentlemen, these chocolate chunk cookies are freaking delicious, right?
- 38:03SPEAKER_03: I see her wrapping the cookies up, and then she skedaddles out of here.
- 38:07SPEAKER_03: I'm like, okay, you know, whatever.
- 38:08SPEAKER_03: Bye, McKenzie.
- 38:09SPEAKER_03: Have a good one, McKenzie.
- 38:10SPEAKER_03: Cool.
- 38:11SPEAKER_03: So I'm staying till dinner, and I go into this room of a patient that's a diabetic.
- 38:18SPEAKER_03: And lo and behold, I see those three or four wrapped cookies.
- 38:27SPEAKER_03: I'm like, man, where'd you get all these cookies from?
- 38:29SPEAKER_03: She says, Oh, because she knew she wasn't supposed to have them.
- 38:32SPEAKER_03: She's like, oh, um, I just got them.
- 38:35SPEAKER_03: I'm gonna eat them later.
- 38:37SPEAKER_03: Excuse me.
- 38:37SPEAKER_03: I said, okay.
- 38:39SPEAKER_03: Alright.
- 38:41SPEAKER_03: Whatever.
- 38:42SPEAKER_03: So the next day, I'm acting like I'm angry.
- 38:44SPEAKER_03: Like, McKinsey! Come here! She's like, What?
- 38:48SPEAKER_03: What did I do?
- 38:49SPEAKER_03: I said, I went to this person's room and there was three or four cookies wrapped.
- 38:54SPEAKER_03: And the McKinsey, she puts her head down in shame, right?
- 39:00SPEAKER_03: But she has the devil's grin going from ear to ear, ear to ear, like oh my, like it's such a funny look.
- 39:08SPEAKER_03: She's like, I'm sorry, but she really wanted the cookies.
- 39:14SPEAKER_03: I'm sorry, McKinsey.
- 39:16SPEAKER_03: But this the head down and the big old smile underneath, like, yeah, I did wrong, but she got the cookies.
- 39:23SPEAKER_03: It's like it was freaking hilarious with McKinsey.
- 39:26SPEAKER_03: So that's one of the key moments.
- 39:28SPEAKER_03: Another key moment we had.
- 39:31SPEAKER_03: She might kill me for this, but this stuff's funny.
- 39:34SPEAKER_03: Um again, I'm the cook this day, and I make vanilla pudding, right?
- 39:41SPEAKER_03: She's gonna kill me for this.
- 39:43SPEAKER_03: So uh we get we're ready to serve lunch, and I was like, hey, make sure you try the pudding, make sure it's good.
- 39:51SPEAKER_03: She's go over there and takes a scoop, eats it.
- 39:54SPEAKER_03: She's like, oh, this is really good.
- 39:56SPEAKER_03: I say, well then, you know, thank you.
- 39:57SPEAKER_03: You know, I went to culinary school, you know, I know how to cook, you know what I'm saying?
- 40:01SPEAKER_03: So it's good.
- 40:02SPEAKER_03: So I cut I I expect one spoon swipe in my pudding, right?
- 40:07SPEAKER_03: I leave, do something, come back, and there's like three or four spoon swipes out of my pudding out of this big bowl.
- 40:14SPEAKER_03: I'm looking around, like, who has ate all this pudding?
- 40:17SPEAKER_03: I said, she does the same thing.
- 40:19SPEAKER_03: She puts her head down.
- 40:21SPEAKER_03: Has this big old smile?
- 40:24SPEAKER_03: Sorry.
- 40:25SPEAKER_03: She has this big old smile on her face, like you know, oh, you caught me, but this stuff is so good.
- 40:30SPEAKER_03: It's like, it's really good pudding.
- 40:32SPEAKER_03: It's like, yeah, I know.
- 40:34SPEAKER_03: It's just those those those reactions are freaking hilarious to me.
- 40:40SPEAKER_03: So yeah, those are the key moments with uh working with McKinsey.
- 40:44SPEAKER_03: I have another one, but I need the music for it.
- 40:47SPEAKER_03: But I'll go on it real quick because this one's a real quick one.
- 40:49SPEAKER_03: Um, we were sitting here talking, playing Disney music, and there's this song on Toy Story 2 that triggered uh a memory of when I was with my one of my ex-girlfriends a long time ago.
- 41:03SPEAKER_03: So, right?
- 41:03SPEAKER_03: So basically, it's the song where Jesse, the doll, is left behind.
- 41:08SPEAKER_03: And I told her, like, when this song came on in the theater, I started bawling, crying because I knew it was over.
- 41:15SPEAKER_03: And whatever, you know, it's like this song triggers that that memory.
- 41:21SPEAKER_03: It's like, oh, she's like, oh, you know, whatever.
- 41:24SPEAKER_03: I'm like, yeah, you know, sad, whatever.
- 41:27SPEAKER_03: So this is on Spotify where I'm listening to it, right?
- 41:31SPEAKER_03: And and I'm telling her, you know, the song came on, and we're uh and the song goes off, and we switched to another Disney song or Disney channel.
- 41:40SPEAKER_03: As soon as it comes on, that same damn song came on, and I was like, ain't this a B?
- 41:47SPEAKER_03: This thing is following me, and she starts cracking up laughing.
- 41:50SPEAKER_03: I said, I cannot believe this.
- 41:51SPEAKER_03: I'm starting, I've really started getting teary-eyed and emotional from hearing this song again.
- 41:56SPEAKER_03: I said, And she's over there laughing.
- 41:59SPEAKER_03: What are you laughing about?
- 42:01SPEAKER_03: Good times.
- 42:02SPEAKER_03: So, yeah.
- 42:04SPEAKER_03: So safe to say, question four, is she rehirable?
- 42:12SPEAKER_03: Do I really need to say it?
- 42:13SPEAKER_03: Yes, I would hire McKenzie in a heartbeat.
- 42:16SPEAKER_03: Uh, I really appreciate her.
- 42:17SPEAKER_03: I appreciate the growth that she's had and um everything I do appreciate.
- 42:25SPEAKER_03: I still have her picture in my office, and you know, to remind me of quite possibly the best employee I've had with this company.
- 42:35SPEAKER_03: So yeah, that's your two for one today here on the WDYM.
- 42:39SPEAKER_03: With that being said, we're ending the episode.
- 42:45SPEAKER_03: That was fun.
- 42:48SPEAKER_03: I do, I do, I do like talking about the good times and the bad.
- 42:54SPEAKER_03: Boy, I tell you that that's cool for Lily.
- 42:58SPEAKER_03: Don't wish that on nobody.
- 43:00SPEAKER_03: I'm your host, Michael Gillespie of the WDYM.
- 43:03SPEAKER_03: Thank you for tuning in, and as always, peace out, boy Scout, peace.
