00:09This? This is what you're going to present with? Alexa, this is insane. It's filled with errors.
00:15It's like you're not even a part of this team. Do you care to explain yourself?
00:19I'm really sorry, Mr. Rumley. I was trying really hard. I don't know what happened. I don't know why there's
00:24so many mistakes.
00:25I thought, I thought, I need you to be certain. I don't need you to think, okay?
00:30We deal in certainties, not thoughts. Every error is a mark against this company.
00:35Do it over. And I want you to think carefully about your future at this company.
00:41Okay. Yes, you're right.
00:46And you, is this your idea of cleaning? Shuffling dust from one shelf to another?
00:51I mean, Christ, show some passion in your work.
00:54Mr. Rumley, I assure you, I'm thorough. When I'm done, even the air will be purer here.
00:59You won't find a speck of dust, I promise.
01:01Yeah, well, I hope that thoroughness goes to every corner of the room.
01:05Because, so help me God, if I can write my name in the dust, I'll also be writing your walking
01:10out papers.
01:11Do you get what I'm saying? Do you speak English?
01:13Crystal clear, Mr. Chad.
01:16You'll have a pristine working environment. That's my guarantee.
01:24I have to get this presentation right. I really can't lose this job. All that sacrifice and time, I won't
01:30let that go to waste.
01:36Heartwarming tale, Alexa. But around here, it's the bottom line that sings lullabies, not dreams. Results are the only currency
01:43we trade in.
01:44Of course, Mr. Rumley. I was just trying to motivate myself to do better, that's all.
01:47Yeah, right. You're missing the point. Look, it's great to have dreams, but they won't climb the corporate ladder for
01:52you.
01:53What are you bringing to the table besides that horrible dress you probably picked up from Ross?
01:58Look, boo-hoo, okay? You should feel lucky we even hired you to be an intern here in the first
02:02place.
02:03Sir, in all fairness, I bring a lot to the table. I analyze data, I optimize our strategies, and I
02:09innovate solutions.
02:10My results aren't just numbers. I promise I have a lot to offer, and even more to learn.
02:15Don't you think we all started with the dream?
02:18Alexa's passion is her asset. It's what drives her to push past the expected.
02:22Oh, sorry. Who's talking to me right now?
02:25Oh, oh, the cleaning lady wants to put in her two cents.
02:28That's rich. That's not why we pay you, okay?
02:31Shouldn't you go to the bathroom and scrub some toilets?
02:33You're wasting space here, but if we're going to go ahead and talk about passion,
02:38then why don't you tell me any problem you've solved here, Alexa?
02:42I mean, come on, impress me.
02:43I mean, just last week, I identified a bottleneck in our supply chain.
02:47I stayed late, ran the numbers, and proposed a new vendor strategy.
02:50We're now set to decrease shipment delays by 15%,
02:53which will in turn increase profit revenue by 30% each quarter.
02:57Okay, whatever. That's just beginner's luck, okay?
03:00Shoot, even a broken clock is right twice a day.
03:03Look, it's one thing to score a point. It's another to win the game.
03:05Maybe one day you'll make it big, but right now, you're just an intern.
03:09So stick to your intern duties and go fetch me some coffee.
03:12She doesn't need to prove anything. She's already showing her worth.
03:16Okay, all right, that's enough from you.
03:18I wouldn't take this cleaning lady's advice too close to heart.
03:21If she knew anything about business and success,
03:24she wouldn't be working as a low-level janitor, now would she?
03:28Look, this is a shark tank, and you need to be more shark than fish.
03:32It was already a miracle we hired you to this position with you being a girl.
03:35Don't give us any more reason to doubt you.
03:48Hello, you two.
03:53Chad, we need to talk.
03:55You've been under a microscope, and the findings are troubling.
03:58Okay, okay, whoa, what?
04:00Who are you to be talking to me like this?
04:02I'm under a microscope? Yeah, by who?
04:05You?
04:05I don't think you even know how to handle a microscope.
04:08Maybe even a toaster oven?
04:10I've been watching you more closely than you could ever imagine.
04:14Every harsh word, every dismissal.
04:16This is absurd.
04:18I don't even know what's going on right now.
04:19How have you been spying on me?
04:21By becoming somebody you wouldn't notice, Chad.
04:24The cleaning lady.
04:25That was me.
04:27Wait, that was you?
04:30For what?
04:31This is ridiculous.
04:32Why would you do that?
04:33To see the true face of my company.
04:36To see how my managers act when they think no one important is watching.
04:40Oh, so CEOs just have all the time in the world now
04:43to pull some silly pranks like this, huh?
04:45This isn't a prank, Chad.
04:47I do this to protect the integrity of the company.
04:50To understand the cracks in our foundation.
04:52Oh yeah?
04:52You've watched me for one day and you think you've got me all figured out?
04:56I saw more than that, Chad.
04:57I saw the fear and shame in the eyes of our employees.
05:01I heard the whispers of discontent.
05:03Your attitude towards Alexa and women in general in this office
05:07cannot be tolerated any longer.
05:09It's an outright shame that you've lasted here this long.
05:11Okay, listen, look, please, that's just water cooler talk, all right?
05:15Office politics, it's nothing.
05:18No, it's the culture of our workplace.
05:20This is people's livelihoods.
05:22It's everything.
05:23Look, if it's just about a dumb intern, I can explain.
05:26It's the pattern of behavior that's clearly hurting our company.
05:29But I brought in results.
05:31Doesn't that count for something?
05:33Results at what cost, Chad?
05:35At the expense of our team's morale and well-being?
05:39This is entrapment.
05:41It's manipulation.
05:42It's leadership, Chad.
05:44Something you've clearly failed to exhibit.
05:46You're relieved of your position, effective immediately.
05:49I mean, no, you can't do this.
05:52I'm going to fight it.
05:53I'm confident the board will be unanimous on this.
05:56Your tenure here is over.
05:58Pack your bags and go.
06:06Alexa, please take a seat.
06:12Whoa, you really cleaned up.
06:15Thanks.
06:15I appreciate it.
06:17You're not actually the...
06:19No, I'm not.
06:20I'm actually the CEO of this place, and I've been meaning to talk to you.
06:24Your recent work, it's exceptional.
06:28I can't believe it.
06:29The CEO right in front of me?
06:31I mean, I feel like I'm in a dream.
06:33Thank you for saying that, but I've just been doing my part.
06:36Hmm.
06:36Well, your part seems to include the jobs of three people.
06:40How do you manage all of this?
06:42I mean, I don't mind the extra hours.
06:44I just really love the work, and I actually do want to see this company succeed.
06:48That's exactly the spirit we need.
06:50And to see how you dealt with your ignorant and ruthless manager with such poise and grace
06:55left a huge impression on me.
06:57Have you ever thought of management?
06:59Management?
07:01Um, I don't even know what to say to that.
07:04Say you'll think about it.
07:05Your dedication has been duly noted.
07:08I mean, it's a big step.
07:11I need to be sure I can balance everything.
07:13You wouldn't be alone.
07:14I'd support you and guide you through the entire process.
07:17And of course, there's going to be a pay raise involved.
07:20I really appreciate that, but it's always been about more than just the money for me.
07:24I can see that.
07:25See this more as about growth, perhaps.
07:28About becoming who you're meant to be.
07:31I do want to make a difference in this company.
07:33I don't think I'll need much time to think about it after all.
07:35I'd like to take your offer.
07:37Then it's decided.
07:38Welcome to the team, Alexa.
07:41Thank you, boss.
07:42I won't let you down.
07:48Hey, Sandra.
07:50Mind if I have a word?
07:51Sure, Owen.
07:53What's up?
07:54I've been thinking, you know, about how we present ourselves in the workplace.
07:59It's essential to make a lasting impression, especially when dealing with clients.
08:03Absolutely, Owen.
08:04Professionalism is key.
08:06Well, that's the thing.
08:07I've noticed your wardrobe, and I thought, maybe it could use a little upgrade.
08:12You should consider dressing more, you know, sexy.
08:18Clients love that.
08:19It helps seal the deals.
08:21Thanks for the thought, Owen.
08:22But I think my performance should be the main focus, and I don't think my attire has any
08:28bearings on the deals we close.
08:29Come on, Sandra.
08:31Don't be so modest.
08:32In this world, a woman's appearance matters.
08:34You want to be taken seriously?
08:36Show some skin, sweetie.
08:38Owen, you know what?
08:39That's completely inappropriate, and my work should be evaluated on my merit, not how I dress.
08:43Look, Sandra.
08:44Let's be real.
08:45Women like you?
08:45You're just not cut out for management.
08:48It's a man's world up there, dealing with complex decisions and strategies.
08:52You're not smart enough for that.
08:53Owen, you know what?
08:54I really don't appreciate the comments you're making.
08:56Well, you know what?
08:58I don't care.
08:59See, as your manager, I kind of get the right to say what's on my mind, and you just have
09:03to sit there and nod your head.
09:04You got it?
09:06Hi.
09:07I, uh, overheard the conversation?
09:10That's not cool, man.
09:11Oh, spare me.
09:13What do you care?
09:14You're just the janitor.
09:15Just because I clean up after you doesn't mean I have to tolerate your attitude.
09:20You were out of line with Sandra.
09:22And what would you know about it, janitor?
09:24Stick to your mops and brooms.
09:26I may be the janitor, but I'm also a person.
09:28I've seen enough in this office to know that everyone deserves respect, regardless of their
09:33job title or gender.
09:35Look, lady.
09:36I don't need a lecture from someone at the bottom of the corporate ladder.
09:39Mind your own business.
09:40Your attitude is the business of everyone in this office.
09:44It's toxic, and it affects the whole workplace.
09:47Treat people with respect, Owen.
09:50Whatever.
09:52Some people never learn.
09:54Yeah.
09:55Tell me about it.
09:56Thanks for standing up for me.
09:58No problem.
09:59It's not right the way some people think they can treat others.
10:02Exactly.
10:03I mean, I've been dealing with this for so long, and it's just, it's so frustrating seeing
10:07that someone's judging a person's worth by their gender.
10:10If I was the man, right?
10:11It's disappointing, but unfortunately not surprising.
10:14I've seen it all.
10:15I hear every sexist and racist remark imaginable, it feels like.
10:19Dang.
10:20I'm sorry.
10:22You deserve better than that.
10:23Thank you, Sandra.
10:24Thank you, Sandra.
10:25But it's not just about me, it's about all of us.
10:27Every woman who has to put up with this nonsense.
10:30We deserve respect and equality.
10:32Absolutely.
10:32I mean, you're absolutely right.
10:34I mean, it's disheartening to think that even in this day and age, we still have to fight
10:38for equality.
10:39We should be judged on our abilities, not our gender.
10:41Exactly.
10:43We're here to work, to contribute, just like everyone else.
10:46It shouldn't matter if we're women or men.
10:49What matters is what we bring to the table.
10:51I couldn't agree more.
10:53It's inspiring just to have you stand up for me against Owen.
10:56I'm not going to lie.
10:57Well, someone's got to do it.
10:59Even if it's that someone is the janitor, so be it.
11:02We should support each other and create a workplace where everyone feels valued and respected.
11:06And it's not just about the workplace.
11:08Women are more than just our appearances.
11:10We have so much to offer the world and careers and all parts of life.
11:14Absolutely.
11:15I mean, women are doctors, engineers, lawyers, artists, you name it.
11:19We just bring a diverse perspective that enriches every aspect of society.
11:23Exactly.
11:24It's high time that everyone recognizes it and appreciates that.
11:28Yeah.
11:29Well, thanks for talking to me.
11:31I feel a lot better now.
11:33I'm sorry.
11:34What did you say your name was?
11:36It's Leela.
11:37Leela Strauss.
11:38Thanks for talking to me, Leela.
11:40It means a lot.
11:41I'm glad to help.
11:42You're doing a great job, Sandra.
11:44And after what I've seen today, I'm more sure than ever it's time for some change around
11:48here.
11:48I agree, but I don't get it.
11:51What are you going to do?
11:52I'm afraid I haven't been completely honest with you, Sandra.
11:55I'm actually not the office janitor.
11:57What?
11:58Then who are you?
12:00I'm actually the new CEO of the company that was appointed after the merger with Exterior
12:05Co. earlier this month.
12:06You're the Ms. Strauss?
12:08Yes.
12:09Oh my gosh.
12:10This is incredible.
12:11I mean, it's like an episode of like undercover CEO or something.
12:15Well, I wanted to get a view of the company from a position of janitor to get a better
12:19look at the true nature of the employees.
12:21I'm glad I did because what I saw with Owen was completely unacceptable, and that ends
12:26today.
12:27What do you mean?
12:28Why don't you follow me?
12:29Um, okay.
12:36Owen!
12:38God, did no one ever teach you to knock?
12:40What is the janitor doing in my office?
12:43And Sandra, don't you have some spreadsheets to mess up or something?
12:46Owen, your son, you and I need to talk.
12:49How do you know my name?
12:51No, it doesn't matter.
12:52Look, if this is about earlier, I really don't need a lecture about equality or whatever from
12:57the janitor, alright?
12:58I'm very busy.
12:59Oh, I have a feeling your schedule is about to clear up real soon.
13:03I don't think you'll need to be handling any of the company's affairs in a couple of
13:07minutes.
13:08What are you going on about?
13:10The thing is, Owen, you never even bothered to ask my name.
13:14And because if you did, you would realize that I'm actually not the office janitor.
13:20Oh, yeah?
13:21What are you, the office receptionist or something?
13:23Big whoop.
13:24No, Owen, I'm Leela Strauss, the CEO of this company.
13:30Yeah, good one.
13:30No, you're not.
13:31How else would I know that you have 12 late reports yet to be submitted to Leela?
13:36Oh, God.
13:38Ms. Strauss, I...
13:39That's right.
13:39And I've been observing your behavior, Owen.
13:41Your sexism is deplorable and not tolerated in my office.
13:46I...
13:47I didn't know.
13:48I mean...
13:48I didn't...
13:49Save it, Owen.
13:50Your actions speak louder than words.
13:52It's time for you to face the consequences.
13:55You're fired, Owen.
13:57I won't tolerate such behavior in my company.
14:00You can't do this.
14:01You can't fire me.
14:02Oh, I can, Owen, and I just did.
14:04This is ridiculous.
14:05Why should I be fired?
14:07I've contributed so much to this company.
14:09Your contributions don't excuse your toxic behavior, Owen.
14:13It's not just about your work.
14:15It's about fostering a workplace where everyone else feels respected.
14:19What about my rights?
14:20This is political correctness gone mad.
14:23It's not about political correctness.
14:25It's about human decency.
14:27Women are valuable, equal members of the workforce.
14:30We bring diverse perspectives, creativity, and intelligence.
14:35Your behavior undermines the principles we stand for.
14:38Women can't handle the pressure of leadership.
14:41This is just some feminist agenda.
14:43Owen, your views are outdated and harmful.
14:45Women have proven themselves in every field, including leadership.
14:48It's time to acknowledge that and appreciate the contributions of everyone, regardless of gender.
14:54This is absurd.
14:55I bet you got this job because you're a woman.
14:58I earned this position through hard work and competence, just like everyone else.
15:02Women are not tokens.
15:04We're capable professionals.
15:06Your attitude only holds us back.
15:08You can't silence me.
15:10I'll expose this company for what it is.
15:12You're free to express your opinions, Owen.
15:15But now that the world is changing, more and more people are standing up against discrimination.
15:20And your outdated views won't be tolerated.
15:22But...
15:24But...
15:24This is crazy.
15:26I'm going to HR.
15:29You won't find much help there.
15:30I can guarantee it.
15:31Yeah.
15:32Hey, thanks so much for standing up for me, Ms. Strauss.
15:35I mean, for all the women here.
15:37I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off this company.
15:40Indeed it has, Sandra.
15:42And it's also left an exciting new managerial opportunity for someone.
15:46What do you think, Sandra?
15:47Want to be the new manager?
15:49Me?
15:50I mean, are you sure, Ms. Strauss?
15:53Yes.
15:53Please call me Leela.
15:54Yes, I'm sure.
15:55More than anything.
15:56And I'm not just saying that.
15:58I've seen your work, Sandra.
15:59It's marvelous.
16:00I think you'd be perfect for the job.
16:02I mean...
16:04I don't know what to say.
16:06Say yes, Sandra.
16:07You deserve this.
16:07Yes!
16:08Thank you, Leela.
16:09I promise I won't let you down.
16:11That's the spirit.
16:12I know you won't.
16:15Yeah.
16:16Uh-huh.
16:17Listen, I'm walking into something right now.
16:19Heidi.
16:20Heidi Franklin, right?
16:21Yes, and you must be Tom Connors.
16:23One second.
16:24Uh-huh.
16:25I'll call you right after, okay?
16:27Great.
16:28Yeah.
16:29I prefer Mr. Connors during working hours, but you know what?
16:33I'll let it slide this time.
16:34I'm sorry, Mr. Connors.
16:36So, Heidi, you ordered a drink yet?
16:39Um, no, I usually don't drink during business deals or at noon.
16:45And I think I'm just sticking with water.
16:48Yeah, well, when you've had this job as long as I have, you really can't get through the day without
16:52a drink.
16:54And how long have you been doing this?
16:57Nine months.
16:59Right.
17:02Um, okay, well, um, I wanted to tell you about Heidi's health food bar.
17:09It's an amazing health and protein bar that I've been developing and perfecting for the last five years.
17:15I think it's perfect for whole goods to be sold.
17:18Let's not jump into all this business talk right now, okay?
17:23Waitress!
17:24Waitress, hiya!
17:25Uh, we'd like to talk to you.
17:27Yes, of course.
17:28What can I get you guys started to drink?
17:30I'll just have a glass of water, please.
17:32Okay.
17:32I'll do a Johnny Daniels blue on the rocks.
17:37And while I'm at it, I'll take your number.
17:40Well, I don't really give guys my number that easily.
17:43Um, but I will be right back with the water and the Johnny Daniels blue on the rocks.
17:47Look, just don't be too quick to judge, honey, okay?
17:52That's all I'm asking.
17:58So, what were you saying?
18:01Um, well, I was telling you that Heidi's health bar is the perfect item to be on your shelves.
18:09Yes, lady.
18:12Do you have any idea how many people are trying to get their food and drinks on the shelves of
18:17whole goods?
18:18We are the largest grocery store chain in the country.
18:22Well, I imagine there are a lot of companies trying to get their items on your shelves.
18:27Exactly.
18:28Which makes me a very powerful man.
18:33So, I'm going to ask you again.
18:36Why should I put your product on the shelves of my stores?
18:43As I was saying, um, I've been perfecting the recipe for the last five years and the bars are full
18:50of antioxidants.
18:51Heidi, I don't care about any of that.
18:55You have to give me something I want.
18:58That's how business works.
19:00What are you getting at?
19:03Some, uh, non-tax cash in my pocket or, I don't know, maybe you have a young adult daughter roughly
19:10my age.
19:11I have that water for you right here and the Johnny Daniels blue on the rocks.
19:16Did you guys get a chance to look over the menu? Can I start you with something to eat?
19:20I see something I like right here.
19:24Oh.
19:26Ma'am, what about you? Can I get you something?
19:27Hey, don't walk away from me.
19:30I'm a very powerful man.
19:32You should be honored I'm even talking to you.
19:34Look, sir, I have a boyfriend. Please just let me do my-
19:36A boyfriend? What, uh, a wine cook in the back?
19:40Can I get you something?
19:40Hey, chucks! Look at me when I talk to you.
19:43Don't touch me. That's enough.
19:49You imbecile.
19:51Your little health bars are never going on the shelves of Whole Goods.
19:56Five years of your life wasted.
19:59Get out of my restaurant before I make the cooks throw you out.
20:08I am so sorry. That guy is such a sleaze. Ugh.
20:12Yeah. Sorry about that.
20:14Uh, did I overhear you saying that you're trying to sell your health food bars?
20:18Yeah, believe it or not, that decides what goes on the shelf at Whole Goods food stores across the country.
20:26Well, I guess that opportunity's dead now.
20:28I'm sorry. But hey, my grandfather owns all of the Apple Fee's restaurant chains, and every family member has to
20:35work their way up to executive by being a waiter first, which is what I'm doing.
20:39Wait, what? Your grandfather owns Apple Fee's? And they must have like a hundred restaurants across the country.
20:48Two hundred, actually. And how would you like for your health bar to be on our menus?
20:52Oh my goodness, that would be amazing!
20:54Well, I'm almost on lunch, so why don't you pitch yourself to me?
20:58Absolutely.
21:09Good afternoon! Welcome in! How can I help you today?
21:13Hi, thank you. I'm just browsing for now, but I appreciate the offer.
21:17Of course. If you need anything at all, just let me know. I'm Trisha.
21:21Dana, nice to meet you.
21:26Well, well. It's always nice to see a beautiful customer in here.
21:31Absolutely. It really brightens up the day when someone like you walks through the door.
21:36So, what brings you in today? You looking for something special? Maybe an outfit for a date?
21:43Yeah. We can help you find something that'll really turn the heads. Something that'll show off your figure. You know,
21:50something that men appreciate.
21:52I'm shopping for myself. Not for anyone else's approval.
21:56Oh, independent woman. I like that. Strong personality. Very attractive quality.
22:03I'll help Dana find what she needs. I'm sure you both have other duties to attend to.
22:08You know, Trisha, you should take notes on style from customers like Dana here. Maybe upgrade your own wardrobe a
22:16bit.
22:16Yeah, you could really learn a thing or two about presentation. It's important in retail, you know. First impressions matter.
22:23I have a customer to assist. You should return to your duties.
22:27Relax, Trisha. Don't be so uptight all the time.
22:31Seriously. We're just literally having a little bit of fun. You need to lighten up. It's not that serious.
22:37Yeah. Like, learn to take a joke.
22:46Is it always like this?
22:48Unfortunately, yes. I apologize for their behavior. They're... they could be inappropriate sometimes.
22:55You shouldn't have to apologize for them.
22:57I know. But it's easier than making a big deal out of it.
23:02Can you show me some dresses? Something elegant but professional?
23:07Absolutely. I have some perfect options. Follow me.
23:17This one is Italian wool blend. Very flattering silhouette.
23:23And... let's see. Um...
23:26This one is a best seller. Classic but modern. You know.
23:30It's beautiful. Very sophisticated.
23:33It photographs well, too, if you need something for professional events.
23:37The cut is very forgiving, and it works for multiple body types.
23:41I like the neckline. Not too high, not too low.
23:47Hey, ladies. Uh, so we're here to provide our expert opinions.
23:52Yeah, it's important. Women always need male perspective on fashion choices. It is just a fact.
23:58Yeah, and, uh, I'm just gonna say right off the bat, that's way too conservative, okay? You're way too covered
24:04up.
24:04You should choose something that's, you know, a little more, uh...
24:08Yeah, a shorter hem would be better. Maybe something with a lower neckline.
24:13Something that, you know, shows off what you're working with, you know?
24:17Actually, the dress is appropriate for multiple occasions. Business settings, formal events.
24:23Uh, nobody wants to see someone all buttoned up. Men appreciate a little, uh, skin, you know? A little suggestion.
24:31Exactly, okay? Fashion is about attractiveness. It's about being appealing.
24:37See, what women don't understand is that we know what looks good, alright?
24:42We're the ones looking, so we should have input. If you want to be attractive, you need to dress in
24:48a way that's attractive to us.
24:51Right. It's just common sense. If you're single and looking, you need a dress to catch attention, okay?
24:56And if you're in a relationship, you dress to keep his attention. Either way, it's about the male perspective.
25:04Thank you, but that's not how fashion works. Women dress for themselves. For their own confidence. Not for something, not
25:12for whatever you're talking about.
25:14Yeah, speak your mind. You should be able to express your professional opinion.
25:18Oh? And what do you know about workplace dynamics?
25:21Or fashion retail, for that matter.
25:23Yeah.
25:24I know more than you think.
25:25Pff, mysterious woman. Yeah.
25:28So sensitive. I like that.
25:30Very intriguing.
25:32I'm asking you both to leave us alone, so we can continue shopping in peace.
25:37Um, we're managers, actually, so we can be wherever we want in our store.
25:43We're literally just trying to be helpful, and you're being extremely ungrateful, don't you think?
25:48Some people don't appreciate good service when they see it.
25:51Let's go back to the office.
25:55I'd like to buy this. Will you check me out?
25:58Yeah. Come on.
26:03Thank you so much for your patience today. I really hope to see you again.
26:09Uh, are you sure about that dress?
26:13I really don't think it's going to fit very well.
26:16Yeah. I'll tell you right now, you should reconsider.
26:20Don't you want to look good?
26:22Don't you want to look good for the boys?
26:24Let me address something directly.
26:26Your behavior today has been completely inappropriate.
26:29You've objectified me from the moment I walked in.
26:32You've made unsolicited comments about my body and my clothing choices.
26:37You've operated under the assumption that women dress for male attention rather than for themselves.
26:43This is textbook sexism.
26:45You're creating a hostile environment, not just for customers, but for your own staff.
26:50It's unacceptable in any workplace, but especially in customer service.
26:54She's right. You treat us like we exist for your entertainment.
26:57Like your opinions don't matter unless they align with yours.
27:02Oh, here we go. Trisha the pushover. Finally finds her voice.
27:08Can't take a joke, can you?
27:10I mean, you've always been too sensitive. And that is why you'll never advance here.
27:15You cannot handle the real world.
27:16And remember, you're below us in the hierarchy.
27:20We could fire you if you keep up this attitude, so maybe you should think about that before you speak.
27:26Stop talking. Both of you.
27:30What the heck?
27:33Dana Morrison? Chief Executive Officer.
27:37I'm the CEO of this entire retail chain.
27:41I've been conducting undercover visits to various locations to evaluate operations firsthand.
27:47This store was supposed to be a routine assessment.
27:50Whoa, wait, wait, hold on, hold on.
27:53You, you are the actual CEO?
27:57Well, obviously, I mean, we didn't know.
28:02We had no idea.
28:03That's exactly the problem. Your behavior shouldn't change based on who the person is.
28:09What I witnessed today is the most egregious example of workplace harassment and sexism I've encountered in my entire career.
28:17And I've seen a lot.
28:19You objectified a customer. You harassed your employee. You abused your managerial positions.
28:25You made explicit threats against Trisha's employment when she tried to stand up to you.
28:29I mean, some people would say that we were just being friendly.
28:33Yeah.
28:33You were being predatory. There's a difference.
28:38I think what you don't realize is that this is just how retail environments work. You know what I mean?
28:44Everyone engages in friendly banter.
28:47No. This is sexual harassment and workplace discrimination.
28:51I witnessed it firsthand. There's no ambiguity here.
28:55You're both fired. Effective immediately.
28:58You need to collect your personal belongings from the office and leave the premises within 15 minutes.
29:03Uh, that's cute and all, but I think you're overreacting a little bit, okay? We're just like totally joking around
29:10here. Just being, you know, friendly.
29:12We're a couple of good guys, okay? We have families. We have bills, okay? You can't just...
29:18I can. And I am.
29:20Look, we've worked here for years. Years. We deserve, like, I don't know, another chance?
29:28Like I said, we're a couple of good guys and you're ruining our lives over nothing. Over a simple, basic
29:34misunderstanding.
29:35Totally.
29:35Trisha deserves a workplace free from harassment. And I'm certain this wasn't an isolated incident, but a pattern of behavior.
29:43How many other women have you treated this way?
29:47Your crocodile tears don't change what you did. They don't ca- they don't erase the harm you've caused. Leave.
29:55Now. Or I'll have security escort you out. This is not negotiable.
30:03You're gonna regret this.
30:12I apologize that you had to endure that environment. No one should have to work under those conditions.
30:18I can't believe that just happened.
30:20How long have you worked here?
30:22Two years. Uh, I've been here two years.
30:25And your performance?
30:26I consistently meet sales targets. And I genuinely enjoy the work when I'm allowed to do it without-
30:33Without all of that.
30:35I'm promoting you to store manager. Effective immediately.
30:39What?!
30:40The position comes with an appropriate salary increase and the authority to hire your own assistant managers.
30:46People who treat staff and customers with respect.
30:49I-I-I can't believe this is happening!
30:52You've earned this. Through your professionalism under impossible circumstances.
30:58You maintained your composure. You did your job well. Despite constant harassment.
31:03Thank you. Thank you very much. I won't let you down.
31:07I know you won't.
31:08It doesn't matter what he's doing.
31:08To the student.
