  SPEAKER_02: And I'm like, yeah.
• 0:32
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, so she takes it.
• 0:34
  SPEAKER_01: Sometimes.
• 0:35
  SPEAKER_02: Sometimes she's a sign, sometimes she takes it.
• 0:37
  SPEAKER_01: I see why.
• 0:38
  SPEAKER_01: Because also she is the person.
• 0:40
  SPEAKER_02: Because yeah.
• 0:41
  SPEAKER_02: She's also the I am expensive.
• 0:43
  SPEAKER_01: She also is the person.
• 0:44
  SPEAKER_01: Oh yes.
• 0:45
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, she's your sugar mama.
• 0:46
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, damn right.
• 0:47
  SPEAKER_02: Uh, but uh also she's one of those people that, you know, there's people, they just decide not to do it.
• 0:54
  SPEAKER_02: So of course she's like, I'll do it.
• 0:56
  SPEAKER_01: Don't they have a system?
• 0:58
  SPEAKER_02: Well, yeah, but apparently that piece of the system's not enforced.
• 1:01
  SPEAKER_01: Well, speaking of systems, I said whenever you're sick, is it you have to text or you have to call?
• 1:06
  SPEAKER_01: Well, if you're a boss, what would you prefer to get?
• 1:08
  SPEAKER_01: Do you want to get a call so that you can hear me go, I'm sick.
• 1:12
  SPEAKER_02: And you have to think of this in the sense of I number, yeah, that well, that was more real than not.
• 1:18
  SPEAKER_02: Uh, I have you have to think of this in the sense of two things.
• 1:21
  SPEAKER_02: Yes, I know it's 2026.
• 1:23
  SPEAKER_02: Everybody texts in that they're not coming in.
• 1:25
  SPEAKER_02: But I'm railing.
• 1:26
  SPEAKER_02: But the thing about it is, is put yourself in the mind of the manager.
• 1:31
  SPEAKER_02: Don't put yourself in the mind of just me getting everything I want because I'm me.
• 1:36
  SPEAKER_01: Here's a good one.
• 1:38
  SPEAKER_01: I do love this one from Carrie.
• 1:40
  SPEAKER_01: My job has a point system where if we don't call in, we get a half a point.
• 1:44
  SPEAKER_01: So if they text in, then they get that that's a different point, it sounds like.
• 1:49
  SPEAKER_01: So I'm guessing that like you lose points?
• 1:52
  SPEAKER_01: That's my guess.
• 1:53
  SPEAKER_01: I like this.
• 1:54
  SPEAKER_01: I kind of do too.
• 1:56
  SPEAKER_01: Also, I want to say something that I think is the obvious because we used to have a much bigger staff, and calling was something that yes, of course you want.
• 2:05
  SPEAKER_01: When we had like Chase and Eric and Sean, and yeah, we had a bunch of people.
• 2:09
  SPEAKER_01: So yeah.
• 2:10
  SPEAKER_01: Samantha and blah, blah, blah, blah.
• 2:12
  SPEAKER_01: Um, you want to hear their voice.
• 2:13
  SPEAKER_01: You want to hear, and that's also because with more people, I think that there is a little bit less trust.
• 2:20
  SPEAKER_01: When now, if for us, it's a little bit more of a skeleton crew, or maybe you have a very trustworthy crew.
• 2:25
  SPEAKER_01: If you have a really dedicated, loyal, trustworthy crew, then you're like, just text me.
• 2:30
  SPEAKER_01: Well, you're fine.
• 2:31
  SPEAKER_02: We've been around each other for 20 years.
• 2:33
  SPEAKER_01: We know if we're sick, we're sick.
• 2:35
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 2:35
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 2:36
  SPEAKER_01: But if it's something where there is, and you have to think like Zaxon Manufacturing.
• 2:41
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 2:42
  SPEAKER_02: So people are hands on deck or dang close to it.
• 2:46
  SPEAKER_01: Not even that, but the amount of people that call off and his sector is wild to me.
• 2:54
  SPEAKER_00: Yep.
• 2:54
  SPEAKER_01: Like these people are calling off on the daily.
• 2:56
  SPEAKER_01: And I'm like, if you if I called off every day, I wouldn't have a freaking job.
• 3:00
  SPEAKER_02: I love this.
• 3:01
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I can't even tell you how many times I'm like, yeah, get a point system and get rid of them.
• 3:07
  SPEAKER_01: I have no, I have no, I have no.
• 3:09
  SPEAKER_01: Uh Kathy said, I have an hour drive to work and I need an hour to get ready in the morning.
• 3:14
  SPEAKER_01: If I am sick and I'm going to stay home, I usually know by two or three in the morning.
• 3:18
  SPEAKER_01: That's actually similar to Scott and I.
• 3:20
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, that's a nod.
• 3:21
  SPEAKER_02: We have we welcome to our weird schedule, Kathy.
• 3:24
  SPEAKER_01: We will text each other if we've been up, like throwing up or something.
• 3:27
  SPEAKER_01: I will text him at three.
• 3:28
  SPEAKER_01: So when he wakes up, he gets it.
• 3:30
  SPEAKER_01: And it's, hey, I'm sick.
• 3:32
  SPEAKER_01: And he knows I really am like throwing up all night.
• 3:34
  SPEAKER_01: Kathy also said, part two.
• 3:35
  SPEAKER_01: I love that she said part two.
• 3:37
  SPEAKER_01: I am sending that text at two or three also because at six or seven, when it's acceptable, I'm gonna be sleeping.
• 3:42
  SPEAKER_01: That's the exact same as us, too.
• 3:44
  SPEAKER_01: We will go back to sleep and be like, I'm gonna go.
• 3:47
  SPEAKER_02: Kathy's a bit of an exception to the rule.
• 3:49
  SPEAKER_02: I'm talking let's think the eight to threeers, the nine to fiveers, the seven to three.
• 3:54
  SPEAKER_02: You know what I mean?

  SPEAKER_02: I I I I get you.
• 4:29
  SPEAKER_02: You're you're you're this much entitled.
• 4:32
  SPEAKER_01: That's not even true.
• 4:33
  SPEAKER_01: Just this much.
• 4:34
  SPEAKER_01: Wait, wait, he's totally pigeonholing this on an old co-worker that we had who sucked.
• 4:38
  SPEAKER_02: No, no, I didn't even think of her.
• 4:39
  SPEAKER_02: I'm just thinking of that.
• 4:44
  SPEAKER_02: What's Samantha's data year of birth?
• 4:46
  SPEAKER_01: 89.
• 4:47
  SPEAKER_02: I take it back, Samantha.
• 4:49
  SPEAKER_02: You're of an age group that you should know better.
• 4:52
  SPEAKER_02: But if you If you were born in 2000, I don't know, one, I would have said, okay, the world slightly revolves around you in your mind.
• 5:00
  SPEAKER_01: Also, I like this one.
• 5:02
  SPEAKER_01: I'm with Kathy, I'm sending emails at 3 a.m.
• 5:05
  SPEAKER_01: toddlers puke at the worst time.
• 5:06
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, well, that's true too.
• 5:08
  SPEAKER_01: And then you're gonna go back to sleep.
• 5:09
  SPEAKER_01: When your toddler goes back to sleep, you go back to sleep.
• 5:12
  SPEAKER_02: Hold on.
• 5:12
  SPEAKER_02: You just took it to a different level.
• 5:13
  SPEAKER_02: You said I'm sending emails.
• 5:15
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, so email's okay.
• 5:17
  SPEAKER_02: An email is more okay.
• 5:19
  SPEAKER_02: Here's the order of I know you're a dedicated person.
• 5:22
  SPEAKER_02: This is the thought of a manager.
• 5:23
  SPEAKER_02: You have to think of this.
• 5:25
  SPEAKER_02: We're asking you to think of it on the other side, not the employee.
• 5:28
  SPEAKER_02: The world owes me something.
• 5:30
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, phone call, top of the mountain.
• 5:33
  SPEAKER_02: That way I know you're you're decent enough to go, hey Chad.
• 5:37
  SPEAKER_02: I don't know why Chad's the name of the day.
• 5:39
  SPEAKER_02: Boss Ched, I just feel I got razor blades in the throat.
• 5:42
  SPEAKER_02: Can't do it today.
• 5:43
  SPEAKER_02: Okay, you know what?
• 5:44
  SPEAKER_02: Stay home.
• 5:45
  SPEAKER_02: We all don't need it.
• 5:46
  SPEAKER_02: Yep, get out of here.
• 5:47
  SPEAKER_02: Email, second, right below that.
• 5:50
  SPEAKER_02: Because for you to take the time to send an email, you get a little bit more than just and not coming in.
• 5:56
  SPEAKER_01: And not coming in.
• 5:58
  SPEAKER_01: I think that of course we all know it's a balance.
• 6:01
  SPEAKER_01: Unfortunately, some employees don't know it's a balance.
• 6:04
  SPEAKER_01: That's right.
• 6:04
  SPEAKER_02: Then that's what it comes to.
• 6:05
  SPEAKER_02: That's why we need to go to a point system.
• 6:07
  SPEAKER_02: You get seven points taken away, you're fired! And three, two, one.
• 6:12
  SPEAKER_02: You're listening to Scott and Allie.
• 6:14
  SPEAKER_02: Scott and Allie's big three.
• 6:15
  SPEAKER_01: I and not that I like want to live and die by this, but a lot of companies used to have kind of like a three strikes and you're out.
• 6:21
  SPEAKER_01: They write you up three times, and then on the fourth one, you're out type thing.
• 6:25
  SPEAKER_01: And I don't hate that either.
• 6:27
  SPEAKER_01: I know we have to have the balance of accepting uh families and sicknesses and and being a little bit more malleable.
• 6:33
  SPEAKER_01: But what I do think is is that you have to have some boundaries, or you're gonna end up being like places where you can call off 23 times.
• 6:44
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 6:44
  SPEAKER_01: And guess what?
• 6:45
  SPEAKER_01: I have I'm talking to Ched in his office because I'm doing Trevor's work.
