When workplace mediation goes wrong - Mediation 

When the boss and mediator look like muggers...

I’m starting to think Alan, Adam and Ellie are actually all dead and stuck in some kind of purgatory.

That was a really excellent acting!! Especially for Ben's role, he really act out that gesture of an HR so naturally!!!

Holy crap, these are the videos I just can't sit through because of how friggin accurate they are and have actually met people like this in real life. Well done everyone!

I can feel it, white shirt Alan is going to come back

When Alan said "NO!" I thought the camera was going to reveal that the mediator was a second Rowan. Ben was just as good though 😂

At the end Rowan: “Oh would you like a 50% off voucher?” Ben: “Yes please, that would be great.” Rowan: “Sure, let me just write one out for you.”

I love the way Ben ramps it up, "why don't we just give you the keys to Playtech Alan? WHY DON'T WE GIVE YOU THE KEYS TO WHOLE WORLD MATE!?"

The bullying... done so well. So frustrating to witness.

The only reason that Ben is agreeing with Rowan is cause Rowan, by the RULES OF THE STREET, owns Ben. - You lick it. You keep it. -

He was also breathing air from Playmate store, so he was stealing Playtime's "personal" store air.

They all turned on Alan. Alan no longer has a reason to play nice - They broke him. And a broken and angry Alan is a dangerous thing.

When Alan refused to shake Ben’s hand, I was waiting for Ben to say “Outrageous”.

Alan: _breaths_ Rowan: "That's company air. PAYCUTT!!"

Was hoping to see an actual mediator tied up somewhere and Rowan giving Ben a new flat clicker for his help 😂

That was the most accurate summary of any mediator session ever anywhere.

This seems like a never ending nightmare for Alan.

When he said :"NO, NO!" i thought a second Rowan was coming in.

As someone that's been in Alan's situation in real life I find this video hilarious and frustrating at the same time 😅🤣

" So, you were thieving, you`re a thief, a stealer" hahaha so good

Sketch idea: Alan quits and starts his own company right across the street to rival Playtech

I for a moment thought there would be a second Rowan coming in, like his twin brother or sth but Ben was worse then a second Rowan...

when everyone sees ben "YESSSSSSS" alan: "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO"

This video could have been 50 seconds long and still hilarious. Alan's reaction when he sees Ben 😂

Me, before watching: "What the hell is company _meditation?"_ Me, after watching: "Reading is hard."

There is a reason dirtbag bosses are best friends with HR and legal.

This must be an alternate timeline where Ben still lives seeing as Alan previously killed him with a sword. “Fare thee well Ben!”

I and a mate was discussing our time playing counter-strike during a lunchbreak at one time. One of our female colleagues was in the company kitchen preparing her own lunch and overheard our banter about typical things you hear in game. Like, 'Cuka Blyaaaat' and other funny swears we hear almost on a daily basis from foreigners. Refresh two weeks forward and the entire company had a meeting singling my mate out that mentioned 'cuka blyat', that he couldn't say such things to our female colleagues. The bosses simply couldn't understand the point that we were talking about a game, about things others say online and that we didn't even realize she listened in on us - not that we would've cared even if we knew. It was just random banter, she didn't even participate in our conversation. Said workmate quit on the spot, causing my workload to double for the next three months. I refused to speak with that woman in the vicinity again, which led to another company meeting where it was 'anonymously reported' that 'the company atmosphere' has turned really bad and that we should be kind to eachother(?). That woman burst out crying, pointing fingers that I ignored her on several occasions, which I never did if it was workrelated. The boss ignored her when I mentioned I ignored her opinions and non-work related stuff by showing the warehouse security cams. She's basically wasting away her time chatting with everyone, doing jack-all and got upset I didn't reciprocrate her ways of wasting time. Considering the waste of human resources her existance is, I couldn't be happier ignoring her. In addition, my words hold a lot of weight on company matters. I'm basically the company web administrator in charge of all the systems and websites, including security. That woman couldn't win one over me and flipped the switch in 5 seconds flat, tears drying up and acting as if nothing happened. I've never met such a two-faced person before in my entire life. The boss reprimanded her lightly and forgot the whole ordeal in a week. In the end, she got promoted to basically chief of 'mediation' between the workers. I'm 99.99% sure she has screwed over atleast half the male workforce by this point. Sorry about this rant, I simply couldn't hold it in. Not to be that guy, but fuck company politics. If it wasn't impossible to find new work during covid, I'd already quit.

I just want Alan to say "I QUIT!"

Hahaha, B.E.N is My Fav actor

It's incredible that every time you think you have already seen the funniest BORED video, then a new awesome one is released.

I love the look on Ben's face when he said and especially when everyone is heard because you know that Ben is just going to make it way way worse

You know what would be cool? Alan secretly looking for a new job, and Ben is the interviewer. Alan: Noooo Ben: Yes

This one hit home pretty hard, having experienced a real workplace mediation in which I got absolutely screwed. Ended up going to court, the whole nine. I landed a severance luckily but the dudes that put me through so much hell still got off way too easily.... smh I'm with you Alan!!!

After this, I can honestly say that Ellie and Adam deserve every bit of misfortune that they get.

You know they are good actors when you both feel pissed off and sorry at the same time

Can we get an episode, where Rowan really gets it, feels like he wins way too often

Has anyone kept up with the math over the years? I mean, surely with this many pay cuts, we've been into the negatives for quite some time now, right? *edit* I didn't realize so many people would take this comment as serious, instead of the joke.

LoL when Alan was saying NO! i got that it gotta be Ben, the customer, no a mediator! & Then I realized it was in the thumbnail.

How could I have missed this one! I've been watching you guys for over 4 years! You guys helped me get through the pandemic! This one was awesome! One of my favorites!

Omg the acting was on another level here I felt the anger, sadness, disbelief in Alan's eyes its so reaaaal.

5 minutes before this video: Ben: You see Alan over there? Rowan: Yeah? Ben: You know what we should do? Ben and Rowan: Lets go mug 'em! Ben and Rowan 5 min later: Alan, you'll be getting a 50% pay cut

I really thought Alan was going to get another pay cut for not shaking Ben's hand.

When no one backs Alan and instead turning against him is the example that you should never trust anyone at work.

I kinda want to see an episode of Rowan taking super long to notice that his A-Team (Alan and Adam) have not shown up at work in a while. Being super confused searches for them with his B-Team (Ben), only to be told that they quit weeks go when he finally finds them because Rowan had essentially cut their pay to 0. All this while, Ellie has been trying remind Rowan that she exists, giving up and is forced to managed the whole store alone, while Rowan goes on his hunt.

Imagine if there was a scene out back with Rowan paying Ben at the end lol

I am just waiting for Alan to go ballistic, there is only so much of this someone can take before they either quit or lose it!!! Loving the series!

Alternative title: how playtech burned in a wild fire

ok, screw this, I've never supported any YT channel but the level of quality that you guys, and gal, offer is beyond anything I have witnessed on this platform. So, yeah, I'm hitting that patreon web page of yours, you deserve it, plain and simple

BEN : Hey Rowan you see those employee waiting in there ROWAN: YEAH BEN : LETS GO MUG EM

"Nnno!", "Yees" - I've rewatched that scene 3 times now 😂

I'm finding it very hard to keep watching this series. The employees need a win. A permanent win. Not just single episode win but a series lasting win.

I was hoping for the guy to come in from the new menace part 3 episode. Don’t get me wrong, Ben’s performance, as always, killed it too.

I have to constantly remember that they are actors and friends in real life

I think the old adage: "Going Postal" needs to be changed to "Going Playtech"...

Ben definitely wanted people to feel hurt "cough" "cough", heard.

I am still surprise they are earning money. They have gotten so many pay cuts I thought they would be paying Rowan now.

By the rule of the street, Rowan owns Ben, so Ben will always stand by Rowan side

All that matters people, is that we take good notes as to what peak leadership looks like. Thank you Rowan.

Damn, Ben's acting is on whole other level. Sometimes its my favorite character and sometimes most hated one.

Alan's reaction when Ben showed up as the mediator cracked me up.

How could Rowan do it for such a minor thing, This is insane! Giving a pay rise to Adam and Elli?! What?!

"and more importantly, that everyone's HURT." Ok Ben.

crazy part is, ive had bosses that are dangerously close to this level of unreasonable lol, once got yelled at for stealing company time because i went to the bathroom while i was working instead of using my lunch break time. Unfortunately min wage workers are treated almost like slaves sometimes by management just because they can power trip on an almost non existent amount of power.

Alan should've snapped here His performance is great when he acts like he's lost it

I was waiting for Rowan to tell Ben ‘PAY RISE’ 🤣🤣

Alan's "NO!" killed me LMAO!!!

They probably forgot about Byron again just like how they forgot him in the trust training Poor man....

Me reading “meditation” in the title Me in the middle of the video: *Confused Screaming*

Ben is the main villain who never stops to agonize them

Very Happy that the theft of the paper was addressed XD.

idk why i thought there would be 2 Rowans

Guess Alan will decide to become a "Joker" after this meeting....

i cant stop laughing when alan say NO while ben forcing his YES

Alan plays the Everyman to perfection. The rest of the world is mad, everyone, and he's trying to figure out if being sane is actually mad.

Earlier: Why does Hamish come back again and again? Now: Why Alan is still working?

is this when Alan snaps and Rodney gives him the white shirt again? either that or... if you think about it.. when Alan had the white shirt they only put a red shirt over it. They never actually got him to take off the white shirt. At some point the white shirt just breaks free from within and Alan conquers Playtech to get revenge on Rowan.

I worked at a place in Texas where the arbitrators were partial owners of the business.

Ben's calm and eloquent voice shudders; the devil's advocate.

I don't know what more scary, Ben's ability to display such a convincing maniacal grin? or the fact that this sh*t genually happens in a legit workplace.

Misread it as “meditation” and thought they’d put Rowan in yoga classes

3:42truly the face of a broken man

Guys he left the job. Still searching in pain.

Rowan and ben sitting next to each other always makes me thinks they are gonna randomly start mugging

Imagine Alan would charge his phone at work 😂

Never forget that when this all started, Rowan wore the red shirt and Alan the black shirt.

" I'm sensing in you a lot of anger toward people in power". Damn...I have heard this SOOOO many times lol

Alans reaction as Ben enters the room is priceless 🤣, Bens character in the Bored series as an imposter is by far one of the best characters along with Rowans ignorant egotistical nature hands down. Poor Alan can never catch a break... 😭😆

Its unmistakable, at the end, Alan is not only planning Rowans murder, but debating the method of disposing the body too

2:20 expected him to say 'mugger'

Alan literally broke something inside. "Why am I even still working here." is all he thinking.

Flash reminder of the day: Alan Is STILL the only One that killed people at playtech. They are literally bullying a cold-blooded assassin, Who could Jump at their necks at any time, and break their spine with a wodden plank with no remorse, NOR esitation.

Alan: I’ve been fooled, backstabbed and quite possibly bamboozled.

Alan: no! Ben:em yes (this line cracked me and keep rewinding it)

We're all waiting for "quiting your job" episode where everyone left playtech and Rowan can't handle things alone, so he ask them for help by defeating his huuuuge pride, but all of them have already a better payed job, with actually a nice manager And then Rowan's left with basically nothing, playtech's close to closing and he can't do anything about it

There's an imposter among us, except Alan is the only crewmate.

This sure is a great example of meditation gone wrong - NO-ONE was silent or chanting and their stance is all wrong

Whatever your job is, if you see Ben then you know your about to experience something whacky and unchurched

This is just really sad, and probably happens to a lot of people. It was funny, but then the end was just....very dark.

This is actually kind of sad. I bet there are actually real people that experience something like this to a certain degree and can’t do anything about it due to workplace politics...
