@@aadrongarg3599 naked, bloody,& slimy mess-- baby right out of the womb.. live births.. So it's kinda a horror/ horrific thing seen on an adult actually 😂
I love my birthday suit. It wrinkles just like fine linen and it is self mending when I get a hole. Grows with me so I don't have to make that embarrassing trip to the mall after the holidays! Happy birthday! 🥳
I'm always proud to be a Bethany Because I rather have a small job and get along with my co-workers. Then becoming a part of a big corporate scum sucking b*******
My brother WAS a Bethanie. He is an attorney now but when he was younger he would take over a company in 6 months. He's 6'2" and 225. You cannot move him unless he wants to move.
This is why I read the polices. The best is the drug and alcohol policy. I realized that I'm not supposed to do work if I've had any drugs or alcohol. Guess who doesn't get calls on Sundays. Always read the policies.
@@derorje2035You aren't allowed to work, but it also doesn't count as work time. You chose to come to work inebriated, therefore you chose not to work, i.e. you're skipping work.
I was in the ER yesterday with a nerve injury in my head, I'm seeing double, and my husband was forced to attend one of those stupid conferences. It was busy and we were waiting on a CT to be available.. but it's just crazy. I bascially attended the hour long meeting with him. Companies need to calm down. Those meetings are mainly to make the uppers look like they have enough stuff to do to be worth the pay.
I remember one video meeting, boss all smug to get people on their time off for the meeting, stealing wages away while his boss looked on - at one team member sitting in a hospital bed, fully garnished with pretty much every tube modern medicine has to offer, as he had surgery that day and the meeting was mandatory, no excuses allowed. Boss didn't last very long, as all were giving him the stink eye and big boss told the employee that was post-operative that he was excused.
Maybe it's in the handbook, but my office is lucky that isn't a standard practice for us. On my 3rd day (a Wednesday...), they held a happy hour in the building to welcome the new hires (I was one of a group). My boss's boss's boss came up to me, introduced himself, and then asked me why I didn't have a drink. I replied "oh, I already had two, and it *is* a school night." Him: "If you can't do this job hungover, why did we hire you?" I have since described my office as a drinking place with a working problem...
Bethanie is such a mood! But for reals, do read the policies everyone. HR writes policies to screw you over, with the understanding that no one will read it. Read it so you can challenge them back when they decide you fallen out of policy
I worked from home full-time before it was a thing, and let my hair grow long for a couple years, "ponytail halfway down my back" kind of long. I went to the office for a few days - hair clean and combed and pulled neatly back in a tight ponytail - and got called on the carpet; they said it was a violation of policy and I had to get it cut. I politely asked them to show me the policy that addressed the length of hair - men's OR women's. They couldn't find it right away, and said they'd get back to me on that. They never did, because there wasn't one. 😂
@@DaddyBeanDaddyBean that's like our dress code is "no shorts, flip-flops, or spaghetti straps". I tend to dress in 50s-style dresses, Edwardian clothes, or collared dress shirts that happen to be made of the most obnoxious quilting cotton I can find. People actually complained about me to my boss, until he pointed out our dress code.
Learned that the hard way previous job charges "Training fees" for those who fail to stay employed with the company for over a year. Also they have the right to fire you at anytime without reason.
This might make you feel better. My employer is being taken over Friday by another company. The HR guy who wrote me up for saying the F word gets canned on Friday. YES!!!
Bethanie's toxic in her own way, it's just a different way than her bosses are toxic. She seems cool when she's flouting her bosses' silly rules and ego-trips, but if you ever need her for something that's important to you, you quickly realize she doesn't respect you any more than she respects her bosses. You're all the same to her: Not Bethanie.
"There careers will never amount to anything like mine." Yes Junglefrog, I sure hope neither of them end up with a string of 3 month placements at every company in the industry because they were incompetent enough to be kicked out with a polite "go before we fire you", and need to beg their nemesis for a job.
My wife works at a place that brings in interns from (local college of relevant industry). There's an intern finishing his rotation this week; he has been banished from every department in the company, ending up reluctantly tolerated in the shipping department, but kept on a very short leash there to keep him from screwing up shipping too badly. Word through the grapevine is, another local employer kicked him out of the building entirely, failing his internship, for screwing up everything he touched and being completely un-teachable. He is at least as oblivious as Jeremy - he told someone yesterday that he expects to be offered a full-time position at this employer the same day he finishes his internship. Uh, sure buddy, you keep right on thinking that. 😞
@@DaddyBeanDaddyBean Oh boy! that's a rough one, and at the start of his career too. Someone needs to pull up the lad and give me a proper dressing down.
@@kyakasooramlakavms My wife did give him a proper dressing down - including "your work is absolute chaos, and This. Cannot. Continue." He was receptive to the criticism at the time and took it very well, and promised to do better, but by the following day, he was right back to his old habits. He very well might fail this internship too, and that might wash him out of school entirely.
Here's where I use the phrase of your bestie when he said "career limiting move" According to my contract there's no policy that states and limitates my growing in the company based on meeting attendance outside my working hours. And then, the checking of availability on each calendar or the extra remuneration that we are allowed to have for the extra working hours
See my go to is "Great, I like my job and position as it stands. I have 0 interest in a lateral move that will not significantly increase my pay while significantly increasing my workload."
Oh, no! A career limiting move?! Thank heavens, otherwise I'd get stuck in management, which would be a massive step down in power. By the way, the Sarbanes-Oxley audit is due at 14:00, I hope we don't have a legal compliance issue...
As someone who works in a dynamic similar to this - I am both Haley (my actual name) and Bethanie all in one when it comes to the "jeremys" of the corporate world. 😂
@@flickeringtorchto me it's hilarious that girls jut die their hair purple and no one can say anything but if a dude let's the beard grow or paint his hair all of a sudden he is "not presentable" for the company image.
I just wish someone would check calendars where I work. Yes that 30 minutes suits my needs and my project is most important so cancel that Christmas lunch with the rest of your programming team (we meant in a real time bandwidth!) to attend the interdisciplinary project team. (Yes someone at a webinar described meeting clients at a in person conference as real time bandwidth!!!!??!!)
even if you did, calendars are a clusterfuck. How often can you find an opening that includes EVERYONE, especially with people working from different geographies? Don't waste your energy.
@@zimzimzalabim The gag is that the "higher up" is claiming people should be willing to meet outside of their work hour. The person offering to "check all the calendars" just has to find a time that works for everyone else and is inconvenient for the higher up. That way it flips the script of "being a team player committed to the job". 😂
@@christinevr7698fear of having a Janice moment has resulted in all of my cameras having covers that close immediately after use and have to be manually opened, lol. Now, I get asked where I am since my Zoom background shows an empty room until the camera is uncovered. 😅
Omg i love this... Hilarious. Hey Jurassic Park... Haha 😂 😂 😂 hilarious. Birthday suite.. Omg that is too funny. Thanks for making my Wednesday Brighter and better!!
I work in the office and still skip meetings. My boss doesn't care because he doesn't want to go either. We actually cover for each other sometimes. It's good to have a good boss.
For me, I would let them finish their explanation then say something along the lines of, "I'm sorry you had go to the trouble of explaining all that, but that was actually not my question. What I was trying to ask was... "
"Um...excuse me, but I was speaking. I give you the courtesy, respect, and decency to finish your dialogues without interruption. I should rightfully expect reciprocation of the same from you." Then, when they try to cut me off or scold me, I just ignore them and start talking louder.
This is pretty much my favorite show. Keep up the good work... but respect your time and don't burn yourself out (while you make videos that tell us to do the same)
I'm Ausralian. If any boss i had in corporate life had said that at a branch or division meeting, justified or not, there would be a huge outburst of laughter. And his prestige in teh company would be almost completely gone.
It makes me super sad that men everywhere are still trying to gain recognition from the bosses and employers as surrogate father, rather than building a healthy influence in their concentric circles of community. They're trapped in a living death😪
I don't care what gender my boss is as long as they treat me fairly, logically, and don't try to power trip. But most of the time, when you add "Mgr" to someone's name, they start losing brain cells and act the idiot. I'm going to treat you like you treat me. Unfortunately most large corporations seem to have adopted "work harder, not smarter" policies, instead of "smarter not harder". The lack of brain cells goes all the way to the top. The further up you go, the fewer there are. 😒
I hope you’re enjoying these to keep your spirit up. What ever you want in life project and know you can achieve. I am sending you good vibes, hold on it will get better. Just please don’t do anything to hurt yourself. You are loved ❤and valued 😊. Take care
Hey, Jerrycan-try explaining to your state's labor board how you've decided that their normal time off work must now be approved by you. I'd pay good money to see that coversation
As a night shift maintenance man, I broke into the HR office through the ceiling and cleared my file of all write ups. Came in handy when they tried to fire me the next week. The Japanese management suspected what I had done but they were so amused that they let it go....they loved watching the stupid Americans fight among each other....
Oh so Jimminy Cricket wants a policy war huh, I hope Bethanie creates a mandatory PJ Friday policy and demotes him for wearing suits to meetings every week and not being a team player
At my work place, IF there's a meeting outside of work hours, first of all IT'S ALWAYS OBLIGATORY, second, it's automaticly overtime. Also "career limiting move" simply means "you're not an obidient enough slave".
I just love your little skits!!! So funny! Can’t wait to watch them! Like a little soap opera! Your characters are hilarious!!! Your so creative and informative! Happy holidays!!! Lololo
I’ve got to say your acting is amazing . Part of my Brian knows you are playing all the characters but the other part is convinced they are individual people and it’s throwing me 😂
Yup. I worked nights for YEARS at a nursing home. Those "mandatory meetings" they loved to have at 1pm... Never went to any. When they confronted me about it, i told them the same thing. "When you schedule them while I'm at work, I'll go". They started doing special night shift meetings for us.
Scheduling meetings during non-working hours? Gotta get paid for doing work, even meetings. And, since it's a minimum of 3 hours' pay for any "shift", I'll attend your 1-hour meeting, so long as you're paying me for 3 hours' work.
Being required to attend a meeting outside of paid time on the clock is a dirty move. Good for Bethany & (is it Haley?)! My current supervisor has repeatedly held team meetings at times outside of my schedule, but our team is large and I know it can't always be avoided. I'm not required to attend. However, I got tired of watching the recordings and missing out on being a part of the interactions, for we all get along well. The compromise is that I received permission to clock in for these meetings. As is appropriate, I get paid for the extra time and am able to benefit from real-time interaction.
An ex gf worked in an office of a major US telecom, they went into great an painful detail about attire focusing mainly on the waist up. There was a line at the of policy that said "all other articles of clothing not explicitly mentioned will be considered optional" Pants were never specifically mentioned The policy was quickly amended LMAO
This new policy isn't going be the checkmate he thinks it is. Time off taken doesn't have anything to do with working hours. If I'm working 9-5 then a 9pm meeting still isn't during working hours and it isn't time off taken, it's just outside of working hours.
