- 0:43Speaker 1: revenge yeah right, not not vindictive, but yeah, but like
- 0:46Speaker 1: little pranks exactly like today's where one of our listeners
- 0:49Speaker 1: wanted to prank a co worker by taking a picture
- 0:52Speaker 1: off his desk at work and then emailing us asking
- 0:56Speaker 1: if Brooke, the snarky HR rep can handle the situation.
- 1:01Speaker 1: I don't know why I'm so good. It's so easy
- 1:03Speaker 1: for me to be HR. You're just great at delivering
- 1:07Speaker 1: bad news partly men, and that's what you do in
- 1:10Speaker 1: today's phone tap right after this on the twenties. Hello, Hello,
- 1:19Speaker 1: I'm looking to speak with George. This is him. Who
- 1:23Speaker 1: is this? My name is Kristen. I work in corporate HR.
- 1:26Speaker 1: How are you today? I'm okay? Is everything all right? Well?
- 1:31Speaker 1: I was just calling today because someone said you were
- 1:34Speaker 1: upset about a picture that was taken off your desk. Yes,
- 1:38Speaker 1: that's a picture of my dog Brixby. That was on
- 1:41Speaker 1: my desk. I'm trying to figure out why anybody would
- 1:44Speaker 1: take it. It's pretty upsetting. Well, I'm sorry that happened.
- 1:48Speaker 1: It's probably a good time to tell you we took
- 1:50Speaker 1: the photo. What. Yeah, the company had to take it.
- 1:55Speaker 1: Why did you have to take a photo of my dog?
- 1:57Speaker 1: Why did you do that? We had to confiscate it
- 1:59Speaker 1: because of the nature of the photograph. What's wrong with
- 2:03Speaker 1: the photo? It's just a dog in the grass. I
- 2:06Speaker 1: don't know if you're remembering the right photo, Joel, your
- 2:09Speaker 1: dog looks extremely sad. That's not the case at all,
- 2:14Speaker 1: not in that photo. No way. We were actually getting
- 2:16Speaker 1: quite a few complaints about it. That makes no sense
- 2:19Speaker 1: at all. So we took matters into our own hands,
- 2:21Speaker 1: and we thought if we just took it, you wouldn't
- 2:25Speaker 1: miss it without even notifying me. Okay, Joel, again, this
- 2:29Speaker 1: is Kristen from Corporate HR, and we are notifying you
- 2:31Speaker 1: right now. You're notifying me after you took the picture.
- 2:34Speaker 1: That's not how this works. That's oh did you take
- 2:37Speaker 1: a lesson in Corporate HR recently? It is how it works, Joel.
- 2:40Speaker 1: You know it's our job to make sure the company
- 2:42Speaker 1: morale is up, and that picture was just bringing it down.
- 2:46Speaker 1: If you're talking about morale in an office workplace being down,
- 2:50Speaker 1: a way that you can get the morale down is
- 2:52Speaker 1: by taking people's things without talking them about it. I
- 2:55Speaker 1: don't understand how anybody could be angry about that. I'm
- 2:59Speaker 1: stunned here I begin, Joel, Joel, if I may interrupt,
- 3:03Speaker 1: No one was angry. They were just sad because of
- 3:05Speaker 1: the look on your dog's face. So I'm going to
- 3:08Speaker 1: have to tell you that the picture was destroyed. So
- 3:11Speaker 1: you destroyed the picture. That's my picture, that's my property,
- 3:16Speaker 1: and you destroyed or not even talking about this is
- 3:18Speaker 1: what is insane. When you put it that way, it
- 3:21Speaker 1: does sound kind of bad, but yes, because it ain't
- 3:24Speaker 1: kind of bad, it's very bad. Why that's not the
- 3:27Speaker 1: way that you should be doing, you think at all?
- 3:29Speaker 1: You come to me first, so I hear that you're upset.
- 3:31Speaker 1: I hear the anger in your voice. Of course I'm
- 3:34Speaker 1: very angry, but I do need to tell you that
- 3:35Speaker 1: we've set up some rules from now on, what RULs?
- 3:38Speaker 1: What possible rules could you be making based off of
- 3:41Speaker 1: this incident? Well, because of the sad dog fiasco. He
- 3:44Speaker 1: wasn't sad. That's not it. He wasn't sad on the picture.
- 3:48Speaker 1: I can tell you, if you can listen for a second,
- 3:50Speaker 1: that there's already been talks about the other picture you
- 3:52Speaker 1: have up of a dinner party where at least two
- 3:54Speaker 1: people look kind of sad. What are you talking about?
- 3:57Speaker 1: That's a picture of my thirty of birthday. Already everybody
- 4:01Speaker 1: is smiling in that picture. They were smiling, But were
- 4:04Speaker 1: they happy to be there? How dare you? Of course
- 4:07Speaker 1: they were. Look, if you want to hang up sad
- 4:10Speaker 1: photos all around your house, that's fine, but we can't
- 4:13Speaker 1: let that happen at the office. Though it shouldn't even
- 4:16Speaker 1: be company policy. Positive attitudes make a positive workplace, and
- 4:20Speaker 1: until you can exercise better judgment, Joel. We just plan
- 4:23Speaker 1: to replace all the pictures on your desk with cutouts
- 4:25Speaker 1: of happy people from maybe college catalogs or gap ads.
- 4:30Speaker 1: You're not going to replace my personal property with advertisements
- 4:35Speaker 1: of people in photoshoots. That's the line. I can't. I can't.
- 4:39Speaker 1: I hear the anger in your voice, and I can
- 4:41Speaker 1: see that maybe this would actually be helpful for you.
- 4:44Speaker 1: I mean, seeing a picture of a freshman with a
- 4:46Speaker 1: frisbee is a lot more uplifting for morale than a
- 4:49Speaker 1: sad dog. For the last time, Bribe is sad in
- 4:52Speaker 1: a picture, and I don't even want to work here anymore.
- 4:55Speaker 1: Well now, Joel, that makes me sad. Are you laughing?
- 4:58Speaker 1: This is actually brut Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
- 5:01Speaker 1: We're doing a phone tap on you. Why it's all
- 5:06Speaker 1: the joke Your co workers set you up? Waoun Who
- 5:09Speaker 1: was a picture of Briggsby? No, it was Pam. She said,
- 5:13Speaker 1: you guys pranked each other all the time and wanted
- 5:15Speaker 1: to get you back for the missing lunch joke or something.
- 5:18Speaker 1: Oh she did to get back for the lunch thing.
- 5:20Speaker 1: Oh my god, it was days of the making. She
- 5:22Speaker 1: stole the picture and everything. Yeah, she stolen so many
- 5:26Speaker 1: days ago. Oh this is good. Well, she said, she'll
- 5:28Speaker 1: give you the picture back as long as you treat
- 5:30Speaker 1: Briggsby with more respects. Because that dog, he's a glassy dog.
- 5:35Speaker 1: I can read him very well. He may be a
- 5:37Speaker 1: happy dog. But you are a terrible photographer. I'm not
- 5:39Speaker 1: a good photographer, sure, but he's not that wake up
- 5:45Speaker 1: every morning with phone taps weekday mornings. On the twenties,
- 5:48Speaker 1: Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning
