- 0:52Speaker 1: off his desk at work and then emailing us asking
- 0:57Speaker 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
- 1:04Speaker 1: for me to be HR. You're just great. At delivering
- 1:07Speaker 1: bad news, particularly men, and that's what you do in
- 1:11Speaker 1: today's phone tap right now, I'm moving point five. Hello. Hello,
- 1:21Speaker 1: I'm looking to speak with Geoege This is him? So
- 1:24Speaker 1: is this My name is Kristen. I work in corporate HR.
- 1:28Speaker 1: How are you today? I'm okay? Is everything all right? Well?
- 1:33Speaker 1: I was just calling today because someone said you were
- 1:36Speaker 1: upset about a picture that was taken off your desk. Yes,
- 1:40Speaker 1: that's a picture of my dog Brixby. That was on
- 1:43Speaker 1: my desk. I'm trying to figure out why anybody would
- 1:46Speaker 1: take it. It's pretty upsetting. Well, I'm sorry that happened.
- 1:50Speaker 1: It's probably a good time to tell you we took
- 1:52Speaker 1: the photo. What. Yeah, the company had to take it.
- 1:57Speaker 1: Why did you have to take a photo of my dog?
- 1:59Speaker 1: Why did you do that? We had to confiscate it
- 2:01Speaker 1: because of the nature of the photograph. What's wrong with
- 2:05Speaker 1: the photo? It's just a dog in the grass. I
- 2:08Speaker 1: don't know if you're remembering the right photo, Joel, your
- 2:11Speaker 1: dog looks extremely sad. That's not the case at all,
- 2:16Speaker 1: not in that photo. No way. We were actually getting
- 2:18Speaker 1: quite a few complaints about it. That makes no sense
- 2:20Speaker 1: at all. So we took matters into our own hands,
- 2:23Speaker 1: and we thought if we just took it, you wouldn't
- 2:26Speaker 1: miss it without even notifying me. Okay, Joel, again, this
- 2:31Speaker 1: is Kristen from Corporate HR, and we are notifying you
- 2:33Speaker 1: right now. You're notifying me after you took the picture.
- 2:36Speaker 1: That's not how this works. That's oh did you take
- 2:39Speaker 1: a lesson in Corporate HR recently? It is how it works, Joel.
- 2:42Speaker 1: You know, it's our job to make sure the company
- 2:44Speaker 1: morale is up, and that picture was just bringing it down.
- 2:48Speaker 1: If you're talking about morale in an office workplace being down,
- 2:52Speaker 1: whether you can get the morale down is by taking
- 2:54Speaker 1: people's things without talking about it. And I don't understand
- 2:58Speaker 1: how anybody could be angry about that. I'm stunned here
- 3:02Speaker 1: I begin, Joel, Joel, if I may interrupt, No one
- 3:05Speaker 1: was angry. They were just sad because of the look
- 3:08Speaker 1: on your dog's face. So I'm going to have to
- 3:10Speaker 1: tell you that the picture was destroyed. So destroyed the picture.
- 3:15Speaker 1: That's my picture, that's my property. And you're just sure
- 3:19Speaker 1: and we're not even talking about this is what is insane.
- 3:22Speaker 1: When you put it that way, it does sound kind
- 3:23Speaker 1: of bad, but yes, because it ain't kind of bad,
- 3:27Speaker 1: it's very bad. Why are you not even you should
- 3:29Speaker 1: be when you think at all, you come to me first,
- 3:32Speaker 1: so I hear that you're upset. I hear the anger
- 3:34Speaker 1: in your voice. Of course I'm marrying Gray, but I
- 3:36Speaker 1: do need to tell you that we've set up some
- 3:38Speaker 1: rules from now on. What rulves, what possible rulf could
- 3:42Speaker 1: you be making this incident? Well because of the sad
- 3:45Speaker 1: dog fiasco. He wasn't sad. That's funny. He wasn't sad
- 3:49Speaker 1: on the picture. I can tell you, if you can
- 3:51Speaker 1: listen for a second, that there's already been talks about
- 3:53Speaker 1: the other picture you have up of a dinner party
- 3:56Speaker 1: where at least two people look kind of sad. What
- 3:58Speaker 1: are you talking about? A picture of my thirtieth birthday party?
- 4:02Speaker 1: Everybody is smiling in that picture. They were smiling, But
- 4:06Speaker 1: were they happy to be there? How dare you? Of
- 4:09Speaker 1: course they were. Look, if you want to hang up
- 4:12Speaker 1: sad photos all around your house, that's fine, but we
- 4:15Speaker 1: can't let that happen at the office though it shouldn't
- 4:18Speaker 1: even be company policy. Positive attitudes make a positive workplace,
- 4:22Speaker 1: and until you can exercise better judgment. Joel, we just
- 4:25Speaker 1: plan to replace all the pictures on your desk with
- 4:27Speaker 1: cutouts of happy people from maybe college catalogs or gap ads.
- 4:32Speaker 1: You're not going to replace my personal property with advertisements
- 4:37Speaker 1: of people in photoshoots. That's the line. I can't. I can't.
- 4:41Speaker 1: I hear the anger in your voice, and I can
- 4:43Speaker 1: see that maybe this would actually be helpful for you.
- 4:46Speaker 1: I mean, seeing a picture of a freshman with a
- 4:48Speaker 1: frisbee is a lot more uplifting for morale than a
- 4:51Speaker 1: sad dog for the last time is not sad in
- 4:54Speaker 1: the picture. And I don't even want to work here anymore.
- 4:57Speaker 1: Well now, Joel, that makes me sad? Are you? Because
- 5:00Speaker 1: this is actually broke from Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning,
- 5:03Speaker 1: we're doing a phone tap on you. Why it's all
- 5:07Speaker 1: a joke. Your co workers set you up. We're wound.
- 5:11Speaker 1: Who's the picture of Briggsby? No, it was Pam. She said,
- 5:15Speaker 1: you guys pranked each other all the time and wanted
- 5:17Speaker 1: to get you back for the missing lunch joke or something.
- 5:20Speaker 1: Oh she didn't to get back from the lunch thing.
- 5:22Speaker 1: Oh my god, it was days of the making. She
- 5:24Speaker 1: stole the picture and everything yeah, she stolen so many
- 5:27Speaker 1: days ago. Oh this is good. Well, she said, she'll
- 5:30Speaker 1: give you the picture back as long as you treat
- 5:32Speaker 1: Briggsby with more respects. Because that dog, he's a glassy dog.
- 5:37Speaker 1: I meet him very well. He may be a happy dog.
- 5:39Speaker 1: But you are a terrible photographer. I'm not a good photographer, sure,
- 5:42Speaker 1: but he's not that wake up every morning with phone
- 5:49Speaker 1: taps weekday mornings on the twenty five
