- 0:18Speaker 1: that means down to phone tapes. Because of everything that's
- 0:24Speaker 1: been going on in the world, the average worker has
- 0:27Speaker 1: not had it easy, from layoffs to salary reductions, lack
- 0:33Speaker 1: of job security. It's been really really tough out there,
- 0:36Speaker 1: and a lot of workers are on edge. That's why
- 0:38Speaker 1: it's the perfect time for us to call one of
- 0:41Speaker 1: them and ask them to donate to a charity that's
- 0:45Speaker 1: strongly supported by the company she works for. And not
- 0:49Speaker 1: only are we going to ask her to give generously,
- 0:52Speaker 1: but once she finds out exactly what type of charity
- 0:55Speaker 1: this is, I'm pretty sure the only thing she's gonna
- 0:57Speaker 1: want to give is the middle finger. You hear your
- 1:00Speaker 1: phone's app right after the twenty HI, this is done. Hey, don,
- 1:10Speaker 1: this is Mark Thompson with Corporate HR. How are you
- 1:11Speaker 1: doing today. I'm doing well. In you I'm doing great.
- 1:15Speaker 1: Um I was just going down the employee list in
- 1:18Speaker 1: your region here and I saw that you donated to
- 1:20Speaker 1: the company's charity of choice last year. Um, I think
- 1:24Speaker 1: I did. Yeah, you did, and we just wanted to
- 1:27Speaker 1: say thank you for doing that, and we noticed you
- 1:29Speaker 1: didn't answer the email about this year's charity drive. UM,
- 1:34Speaker 1: I don't think I've got it. Hang on one second,
- 1:37Speaker 1: let me shut Oh no, look, it's okay. We can
- 1:39Speaker 1: just handle this over the phone, because I'll let you know.
- 1:41Speaker 1: They've decided to change up where the proceeds are going
- 1:44Speaker 1: to be going and instead of doing the United way,
- 1:46Speaker 1: it's going to be a different organization this year. Okay,
- 1:50Speaker 1: what's the organization. It's a new one. It's called CORE
- 1:54Speaker 1: and the company's really excited about this. We're one hundred
- 1:57Speaker 1: percent behind it. Yeah, they do. Can you tell me
- 2:00Speaker 1: a little bit more sure? Well, CORE is an acronym.
- 2:04Speaker 1: It stands for CEO Organizational Relief exclamation point. Oh that's interesting,
- 2:13Speaker 1: So yeah it is. Huh what exactly does that mean?
- 2:16Speaker 1: You know, with everything that went on in the world
- 2:18Speaker 1: last year, life hasn't been easy for anyone, especially for
- 2:22Speaker 1: our CEO. So this is going to be our way
- 2:24Speaker 1: of being able to give back to him and thank
- 2:26Speaker 1: him for all the sacrifices that he's made. What are
- 2:30Speaker 1: you still with me, the CEO of our company? Yeah, Robert, okay,
- 2:37Speaker 1: so let me kind of wrap my head around this.
- 2:39Speaker 1: So our company has a new charity and all the
- 2:43Speaker 1: proceeds go to Robert the CEO exactly, CEO Organizational Relief
- 2:49Speaker 1: exclamation point. So how much you think you'd like to donate?
- 2:52Speaker 1: Why would I give money to our CEO? He makes
- 2:57Speaker 1: millions of dollars a year, Like, I can't even understand.
- 3:00Speaker 1: I'm kind of okay, Well, let's put this in perspective, don,
- 3:03Speaker 1: I know everybody has had it hard, but I think
- 3:06Speaker 1: our CEO has probably gone through the toughest time of
- 3:09Speaker 1: anyone in the whole company. Really. You know a lot
- 3:13Speaker 1: of us took pay cuts, yes, and that was very
- 3:15Speaker 1: hard for Robert to take. A mental toll that he
- 3:19Speaker 1: experienced signing all those smaller paychecks. That was unprecedented mental toll.
- 3:25Speaker 1: So you're telling me that we're paying for his therapy
- 3:28Speaker 1: a multimillionaire Again, Don, this isn't about all layoffs and
- 3:31Speaker 1: salary reductions, which I know you personally experienced. Exactly, I
- 3:36Speaker 1: did personally experience that, So that's why none of this
- 3:38Speaker 1: makes sense. Well, first of all, Robert is very grateful
- 3:41Speaker 1: that you were willing to go through that, But this
- 3:43Speaker 1: is also about the drastic lifestyle changes that he suffered. Oh,
- 3:49Speaker 1: there's people that are facing eviction because they lost their jobs.
- 3:52Speaker 1: Robert was one of those people. He lost two of
- 3:54Speaker 1: his mansions. You've got to be kidding me. His lifestyle
- 3:57Speaker 1: changes are completely different than a lot of people, but
- 4:00Speaker 1: he suffers just as much as the average person. Like
- 4:03Speaker 1: you know, he has an annual trip to the Maldives
- 4:06Speaker 1: and they usually stop off at Turks and Kikos, but
- 4:08Speaker 1: this year he could only go to Kikos, not Turks.
- 4:12Speaker 1: Could you imagine more multimillionaires ceo Robert in his fancy
- 4:17Speaker 1: trips and expensive houses. Poor him. I know I felt
- 4:20Speaker 1: horrible about it too when I found out. Oh my god,
- 4:23Speaker 1: I can not even believe this is a real conversation
- 4:25Speaker 1: right now. I cannot believe it either, Dawn. So can
- 4:28Speaker 1: I put you down for two hundred dollars or three hundred?
- 4:30Speaker 1: Maybe four hundred would put you into the platinum level?
- 4:33Speaker 1: What the hell the freaking platinum level means? Oh? Well,
- 4:36Speaker 1: that guarantees you job security for at least six months,
- 4:39Speaker 1: because Robert does see who donates and exactly how much,
- 4:43Speaker 1: So I want you to keep your job. I'm pretty
- 4:45Speaker 1: sure this is illegal, and matter of fact, I'm probably
- 4:47Speaker 1: gonna own one of Robert's mansions at the end of
- 4:49Speaker 1: this one, I contact my lawyer. Okay, so is that
- 4:52Speaker 1: a yes or a no on the donation. That's a
- 4:55Speaker 1: big no. Oh okay, well that's unfortunate news. I'm probably
- 4:59Speaker 1: gonna to tell Robert about this directly, you know what,
- 5:02Speaker 1: I really hope you do. A matter of fact, I
- 5:03Speaker 1: want to get the chance to talk to him about
- 5:05Speaker 1: it myself. How about that. That sounds great? And maybe
- 5:08Speaker 1: Colleen can join you on that conversation so that we
- 5:11Speaker 1: can all be in on the prank call together. How
- 5:13Speaker 1: does that sound, Colleen? Colleen's the one that asked me
- 5:16Speaker 1: to call you to do this prank phone call, because
- 5:18Speaker 1: my name's actually Jeff from the radio show Broken Jeffrey
- 5:21Speaker 1: in the Morning, and we're doing the phone's app on you. Yeah,
- 5:24Speaker 1: I'm sorry, yeah, yeah, Colleen email. As she said, the
- 5:29Speaker 1: two of you were complaining to each other about how
- 5:31Speaker 1: your company was cheap, and we thought Core would be
- 5:34Speaker 1: a perfect charity for you to donate to. Do you
- 5:37Speaker 1: know how mad I was. Oh my god, I was
- 5:39Speaker 1: ready to strangle you over the phone. I didn't even
- 5:42Speaker 1: get to tell you Robert had to downgrade his yacht
- 5:45Speaker 1: from three jet skis down to just two. Get out
- 5:47Speaker 1: of here. Oh my goodness. But I guess we'll just
- 5:50Speaker 1: deal with that charity next Yearning Broke and Jeffrey in
- 5:59Speaker 1: the Morning,
