1 00:00:01,802 --> 00:00:04,326 Speaker 1: Had you actually read the email, you would know that 2 00:00:04,366 --> 00:00:07,612 the podcast you are about to listen to could contain explicit 3 00:00:07,612 --> 00:00:09,615 language and offensive content. 4 00:00:09,615 --> 00:00:14,253 These HR experts' views are not representative of their past, 5 00:00:14,615 --> 00:00:16,260 present or future employers. 6 00:00:16,260 --> 00:00:19,487 If you have ever heard my manager is unfair to me. 7 00:00:19,487 --> 00:00:24,521 I need you to reset my HR portal password, or Can I write 8 00:00:24,562 --> 00:00:26,349 up my employee for crying too much? 9 00:00:26,349 --> 00:00:28,628 Welcome to our little safe zone . 10 00:00:28,628 --> 00:00:30,986 Welcome to Jaded HR. 11 00:00:48,719 --> 00:00:53,167 Speaker 2: Nice Welcome to Jaded HR, the podcast by two HR 12 00:00:53,186 --> 00:00:55,390 professionals who want to help you get through the workday by 13 00:00:55,429 --> 00:00:57,774 saying everything you're thinking, but say it out loud. 14 00:00:57,774 --> 00:00:58,615 I'm Warren. 15 00:00:59,880 --> 00:00:59,960 Speaker 3: I'm. 16 00:01:00,341 --> 00:01:03,945 Speaker 2: Cece and we are two burned out mofos. 17 00:01:03,945 --> 00:01:06,206 Right now we're just talking. 18 00:01:06,206 --> 00:01:12,355 As we teased forever the Diversity Day episode of the 19 00:01:12,515 --> 00:01:13,695 Office, we recorded it. 20 00:01:13,695 --> 00:01:28,765 It did have a little bit of technical issues nothing I can't 21 00:01:28,765 --> 00:01:30,969 get beyond but I was just so swamped I couldn't get to the 22 00:01:31,030 --> 00:01:32,772 point of being able to give it the TLC it needed versus a 23 00:01:32,793 --> 00:01:33,816 normal podcast that didn't have technical issues. 24 00:01:33,816 --> 00:01:35,159 It's just a plug and chug type of thing, but that episode will 25 00:01:35,179 --> 00:01:35,739 be coming soon, soon, soon. 26 00:01:36,379 --> 00:01:38,465 Yeah, I'll devote some time. 27 00:01:38,465 --> 00:01:42,182 School this week, the last two weeks has kicked my butt, but 28 00:01:42,201 --> 00:01:43,444 I've kicked its butt right back. 29 00:01:43,444 --> 00:01:48,646 I've got one class like 104 averaging in one class and I've 30 00:01:48,686 --> 00:01:51,370 got well, okay, my team project. 31 00:01:51,370 --> 00:01:52,653 I despise teamwork. 32 00:01:52,653 --> 00:01:54,221 I despise team projects. 33 00:01:54,221 --> 00:01:59,612 We wrote a paper and it was a 50 page paper and now we got our 34 00:01:59,612 --> 00:02:01,742 grade back today and it was at 88. 35 00:02:01,742 --> 00:02:07,513 And oh, team's message we, they , they created a team's thing, 36 00:02:07,980 --> 00:02:11,990 chat, and like I'm sitting at work and I'll send my phone ding 37 00:02:11,990 --> 00:02:13,211 ding, ding, ding ding. 38 00:02:13,271 --> 00:02:17,186 I'm like what the hell is going on and like everybody was livid 39 00:02:17,225 --> 00:02:18,769 about the the 88. 40 00:02:18,769 --> 00:02:23,104 We didn't give a true rubric of how to, how we wanted it great 41 00:02:23,185 --> 00:02:25,760 or what he wanted to include or how it was going to be graded. 42 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:28,728 So we were flying blind a lot. 43 00:02:28,728 --> 00:02:32,162 There are some things we could have done better, but the amount 44 00:02:32,162 --> 00:02:37,651 of effort and time we put into it was just astronomical for an 45 00:02:37,752 --> 00:02:38,193 88. 46 00:02:38,193 --> 00:02:40,681 And we were disappointed. 47 00:02:40,681 --> 00:02:42,524 But oh gosh, another. 48 00:02:42,663 --> 00:02:46,008 Because when you get your grades , you see in Canvas you can see 49 00:02:46,449 --> 00:02:51,275 your grade, the high, the low, the median, the mean score and 50 00:02:51,314 --> 00:02:52,556 all that other funds. 51 00:02:52,556 --> 00:02:57,830 Some team got a 65 and I'm like , oh my gosh, I it, you can't. 52 00:02:57,830 --> 00:03:00,786 It's past dropping time now you can't drop at the class. 53 00:03:00,786 --> 00:03:04,945 I'm like, oh gosh, In the graduate program, if you, your 54 00:03:04,966 --> 00:03:10,326 GPA falls below a 3.0, you go on probation and I'm like, oh, I 55 00:03:10,347 --> 00:03:12,794 would just be so, so pissed. 56 00:03:12,794 --> 00:03:15,443 But that's also probably why I don't like group projects. 57 00:03:15,443 --> 00:03:19,117 This is probably only like one person who carried the weight 58 00:03:19,157 --> 00:03:21,282 for everybody and it sucked. 59 00:03:21,282 --> 00:03:24,810 But I will say as much as I despise group projects. 60 00:03:24,810 --> 00:03:27,842 This is a high-performing team and even though we only got an 61 00:03:27,921 --> 00:03:32,407 88, I think our next paper, which is due in a month and 62 00:03:32,788 --> 00:03:36,955 three days or four days, April 8th we have less time to write 63 00:03:36,974 --> 00:03:37,314 this one. 64 00:03:37,314 --> 00:03:40,627 We'll redeem ourselves this time. 65 00:03:41,161 --> 00:03:42,384 Speaker 3: Group papers are the worst. 66 00:03:43,489 --> 00:03:46,787 Speaker 2: Yeah, in midterms and quizzes, quizzes. 67 00:03:46,787 --> 00:03:48,372 It's just been everything. 68 00:03:48,372 --> 00:03:53,388 So I'm just ready for my spring break and get back, get back to 69 00:03:53,388 --> 00:03:53,528 it. 70 00:03:53,528 --> 00:03:57,342 So yeah, crazy, crazy, and we're talking off. 71 00:03:57,342 --> 00:03:58,506 I'm not gonna go all the details. 72 00:03:58,545 --> 00:04:02,038 Speaker 3: Work has been crazy too to a certain extent, so it 73 00:04:02,079 --> 00:04:06,450 was just like oh you know, just throw it all on at once, pile it 74 00:04:06,450 --> 00:04:09,165 on sure, I kind of had that feeling today where I was like 75 00:04:09,246 --> 00:04:13,062 gosh, march has been a hell of a month and it's like it's only 76 00:04:13,103 --> 00:04:14,186 the fourth, you know. 77 00:04:14,306 --> 00:04:19,439 Speaker 2: Like yes, I'm not even going to do those I was 78 00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:20,261 gonna say we. 79 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:23,425 Speaker 3: You know, I always feel like my, my job. 80 00:04:23,425 --> 00:04:26,069 Especially there's a lot of ebbs and flows, like I'll be, my 81 00:04:26,069 --> 00:04:29,495 hair will be on fire depending on what time of the year it is 82 00:04:30,060 --> 00:04:33,144 and then all of a sudden I'll get like a week, maybe two, 83 00:04:33,386 --> 00:04:37,211 where it's like crickets and I can do a lot of catching up and 84 00:04:37,252 --> 00:04:39,535 I can do a lot of planning and I can do whatever. 85 00:04:39,535 --> 00:04:47,646 And I just got off of one of those Like like I had a week and 86 00:04:47,646 --> 00:04:49,141 a half of pure bliss and now it's just like ramping up and I 87 00:04:49,180 --> 00:04:49,562 feel like. 88 00:04:49,622 --> 00:04:53,444 I have a hand in a lot of different projects, so they're 89 00:04:53,483 --> 00:04:54,968 all happening simultaneously. 90 00:04:54,968 --> 00:04:58,146 So yeah, life is just fun. 91 00:04:59,529 --> 00:05:00,952 Speaker 2: Fun Question mark. 92 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:04,665 Speaker 3: No, it's good stuff, like it's really interesting 93 00:05:04,704 --> 00:05:06,822 stuff and I got to be honest. 94 00:05:06,822 --> 00:05:10,187 As you know, the cool thing this year with the work is that 95 00:05:10,767 --> 00:05:14,894 we're basically taking on this idea of like okay, someone ran 96 00:05:14,934 --> 00:05:18,225 something for a couple years Now let's give it to somebody else 97 00:05:18,305 --> 00:05:19,569 because everything is good. 98 00:05:19,569 --> 00:05:22,488 And like iteration, like people iterate on things, things 99 00:05:22,528 --> 00:05:23,050 become better. 100 00:05:23,050 --> 00:05:27,028 Also, I feel like it just keeps the team sharp, so yeah. 101 00:05:27,028 --> 00:05:28,733 So my boss was like, let's do that. 102 00:05:28,733 --> 00:05:32,324 So now I'm taking on a few new projects, I'm kind of giving 103 00:05:32,384 --> 00:05:33,668 away a couple things. 104 00:05:33,668 --> 00:05:36,819 So I kind of feel like I started a new job without 105 00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:39,144 starting a new job, which is very refreshing to me. 106 00:05:40,367 --> 00:05:42,391 Speaker 2: Hey, that, that that is cool. 107 00:05:42,391 --> 00:05:46,663 I like when you get to new, do new and different things, even 108 00:05:46,702 --> 00:05:49,526 if it's not that different, but it's a change of pace from what 109 00:05:49,545 --> 00:05:50,365 you've been doing. 110 00:05:50,365 --> 00:05:53,588 I think that's very motivating. 111 00:05:53,588 --> 00:05:54,470 I think that's very. 112 00:05:54,470 --> 00:05:57,812 It keeps you fresh so you don't get burned out. 113 00:05:57,812 --> 00:06:00,055 Oh gosh, I'm doing the same damn thing again. 114 00:06:00,055 --> 00:06:02,937 I've done it 3 billion times and I'm over it. 115 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:04,565 Speaker 3: I'm writing the engagement survey again. 116 00:06:04,565 --> 00:06:06,584 Awesome, it's like Groundhog's Day after a while. 117 00:06:09,029 --> 00:06:10,213 Speaker 2: Exactly Groundhog's Day. 118 00:06:10,213 --> 00:06:11,485 What a great movie. 119 00:06:11,485 --> 00:06:12,168 Great movie. 120 00:06:12,168 --> 00:06:14,887 So yeah, yeah. 121 00:06:14,887 --> 00:06:22,141 Well, I had four little anecdotes to share today, and I 122 00:06:22,180 --> 00:06:23,444 know you had something as well. 123 00:06:23,444 --> 00:06:29,406 We can, we go sort of back and forth, but on top of being busy 124 00:06:29,607 --> 00:06:32,512 at work for some things, I also got. 125 00:06:32,512 --> 00:06:39,165 Just I had a manager who contacted me asking if I would 126 00:06:39,204 --> 00:06:41,930 send them a list of all the names of their employees. 127 00:06:41,930 --> 00:06:45,735 They have 18 employees. 128 00:06:45,735 --> 00:06:50,627 It's a moderate amount and there's not been much turnover 129 00:06:50,807 --> 00:06:51,951 or anything like that. 130 00:06:51,951 --> 00:06:56,680 I think you should probably know your 18 people. 131 00:06:56,680 --> 00:07:02,423 I could probably have named 15 of them easily and been pretty 132 00:07:02,483 --> 00:07:04,850 good guessing with the others without looking. 133 00:07:04,850 --> 00:07:11,187 I'm like, really You're contacting me for your employee 134 00:07:11,247 --> 00:07:12,348 names. 135 00:07:12,348 --> 00:07:14,531 What's the problem here? 136 00:07:14,531 --> 00:07:17,605 Is there someone at your desk somewhere that you don't know 137 00:07:17,665 --> 00:07:19,250 who they are and what they're doing there? 138 00:07:21,980 --> 00:07:24,425 Speaker 3: I feel like this is someone's evil twin who has come 139 00:07:24,425 --> 00:07:27,752 to work and now has to like, blend in with the crowd. 140 00:07:27,752 --> 00:07:29,103 Now he's asking HR. 141 00:07:29,103 --> 00:07:32,732 Oh, by the way, do you know who my employees are? 142 00:07:32,732 --> 00:07:35,749 And also, do you have a copy of my job description? 143 00:07:35,749 --> 00:07:36,170 What do I do? 144 00:07:37,283 --> 00:07:38,427 Speaker 2: Like who are you? 145 00:07:38,860 --> 00:07:39,721 Speaker 3: You should know this. 146 00:07:41,262 --> 00:07:45,685 Speaker 2: I really wanted to slam my head straight into the 147 00:07:45,706 --> 00:07:49,288 keyboard as hard as I could after getting that email, 148 00:07:49,307 --> 00:07:52,151 because for better or worse, that's par for course with this 149 00:07:52,211 --> 00:07:52,690 manager. 150 00:07:52,690 --> 00:07:58,675 Like I said, I think I could get 15, just rattle off 15 of 151 00:07:58,696 --> 00:08:03,759 them pretty good, pretty quickly , and I think I'd be fairly 152 00:08:03,779 --> 00:08:04,000 accurate. 153 00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,502 And the other three or four, you know, I could probably 154 00:08:06,562 --> 00:08:07,702 stumble bumble through. 155 00:08:07,702 --> 00:08:11,045 I don't know if I could get all you know, 18 of their employees 156 00:08:11,045 --> 00:08:17,348 , but I ran a quick report out of the system and here's your 157 00:08:17,369 --> 00:08:17,709 people. 158 00:08:17,709 --> 00:08:21,132 Not that you don't also have access to this exact same report 159 00:08:21,132 --> 00:08:22,673 in the system. 160 00:08:23,173 --> 00:08:25,475 Speaker 3: So that was going to be my follow-up question is does 161 00:08:25,475 --> 00:08:29,817 this individual have the access to do so themselves? 162 00:08:29,817 --> 00:08:33,307 Yes, so this was just a failure on all fronts. 163 00:08:33,328 --> 00:08:35,606 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, like I said, par for course. 164 00:08:35,606 --> 00:08:41,691 For this manager, my expectations are rather low. 165 00:08:41,691 --> 00:08:47,904 But yeah, I wanted to ask questions, but I didn't want to 166 00:08:47,965 --> 00:08:50,381 ask questions and I probably didn't want to know the answer 167 00:08:50,763 --> 00:08:52,268 to the questions I wanted to ask . 168 00:08:52,268 --> 00:08:53,049 I you know. 169 00:08:53,049 --> 00:08:55,847 So I just yeah here's your. 170 00:08:55,847 --> 00:08:56,931 Here's your report. 171 00:08:56,931 --> 00:08:59,729 It's just things like that that make your day. 172 00:09:01,100 --> 00:09:01,722 Speaker 3: I love that. 173 00:09:03,870 --> 00:09:06,548 Speaker 2: Well, here is another story. 174 00:09:06,548 --> 00:09:08,625 It's text time. 175 00:09:08,625 --> 00:09:10,645 Everybody Now this year. 176 00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:12,787 Speaker 3: Hey Warren, do you have my W-2? 177 00:09:14,581 --> 00:09:16,708 Speaker 2: I was not asked that at all this year. 178 00:09:16,708 --> 00:09:21,322 Actually, I wasn't asked when is it coming In January? 179 00:09:21,322 --> 00:09:23,729 I was not asked when are we getting our W-2s? 180 00:09:23,729 --> 00:09:24,410 We've had. 181 00:09:24,410 --> 00:09:28,004 This is how you find out when people change their addresses 182 00:09:28,063 --> 00:09:31,653 and don't let you know because we've already gotten a couple of 183 00:09:31,653 --> 00:09:35,450 them, bounce back to us and we oh, your address and this is 184 00:09:35,470 --> 00:09:36,211 what we have in the system. 185 00:09:36,211 --> 00:09:37,081 Oh yeah, I moved. 186 00:09:37,081 --> 00:09:42,514 Well, thanks for letting us know that you moved and things 187 00:09:42,533 --> 00:09:42,934 like that. 188 00:09:42,934 --> 00:09:45,159 So we've had a couple of those. 189 00:09:45,179 --> 00:09:50,191 Well, this particular day I was in a meeting and my cell phone 190 00:09:50,631 --> 00:09:51,393 starts lighting up. 191 00:09:51,393 --> 00:09:54,149 I have it on mute and it starts lighting up and I dismiss the 192 00:09:54,188 --> 00:09:58,769 call and it like not two seconds after I dismiss the call, it's 193 00:09:58,809 --> 00:09:59,971 ringing again the same person. 194 00:09:59,971 --> 00:10:02,928 And I'm like, okay, I dismissed it again. 195 00:10:02,928 --> 00:10:04,183 And then it rang again. 196 00:10:04,183 --> 00:10:06,352 I'm like, okay, this must be a. 197 00:10:06,352 --> 00:10:07,538 And then it rang again. 198 00:10:07,538 --> 00:10:14,261 I'm like, okay, this must be a real emergency. 199 00:10:14,261 --> 00:10:14,602 So I stepped out. 200 00:10:14,602 --> 00:10:14,943 I took the call. 201 00:10:15,004 --> 00:10:16,268 The person was at their tax place and they didn't bring 202 00:10:16,288 --> 00:10:17,331 their W-2 with them. 203 00:10:17,331 --> 00:10:20,581 So they needed me to send them their W-2 because they were 204 00:10:20,620 --> 00:10:23,828 sitting at the tax office right now at Jackson Hewitt or 205 00:10:23,928 --> 00:10:27,985 wherever it is that they go to get their taxes done. 206 00:10:27,985 --> 00:10:30,931 And they needed it right then, right there. 207 00:10:30,931 --> 00:10:34,850 And I just said, dude, I'm in a meeting, I don't have time for 208 00:10:34,889 --> 00:10:35,712 this right now. 209 00:10:35,712 --> 00:10:38,400 Well, I'll have to make another appointment. 210 00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:43,626 I said, okay, that's fine, it's in your know, and I could tell 211 00:10:43,647 --> 00:10:46,311 them the date of the email and the subject line, but I couldn't 212 00:10:46,311 --> 00:10:48,774 tell them what the you know. 213 00:10:48,774 --> 00:10:52,062 I could give them the groundwork of where to find it. 214 00:10:52,062 --> 00:10:53,966 But, yeah, that was. 215 00:10:53,966 --> 00:10:56,980 But I was thinking that was oh gosh, somebody got hurt on the 216 00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:57,301 job. 217 00:10:57,301 --> 00:11:01,027 You know, if they're calling back three times, that's yeah. 218 00:11:01,788 --> 00:11:02,548 Speaker 3: Oh, I do. 219 00:11:02,548 --> 00:11:06,683 I do have a follow up question regarding this gentleman at the 220 00:11:06,724 --> 00:11:14,254 tax office okay follow up question Did this person have 221 00:11:14,514 --> 00:11:18,522 access to get his own W-2 himself? 222 00:11:19,344 --> 00:11:20,004 Speaker 2: Absolutely. 223 00:11:20,004 --> 00:11:25,157 We have an online portal and they were emailed to the 224 00:11:25,658 --> 00:11:27,894 employees and an announcement went out. 225 00:11:27,894 --> 00:11:33,994 When they were available, an email went out saying they're 226 00:11:34,014 --> 00:11:35,018 available online. 227 00:11:35,018 --> 00:11:38,850 Here's how to get it it step-by-step instructions as 228 00:11:38,931 --> 00:11:39,172 well. 229 00:11:39,172 --> 00:11:44,419 So yeah, they, they had full ability to to dyi it. 230 00:11:44,921 --> 00:11:48,910 Speaker 3: so self-service portal I'm gonna say, like I 231 00:11:48,951 --> 00:11:50,052 know I am a genius. 232 00:11:50,052 --> 00:11:54,076 However, I just want to point out that I am seeing a trend 233 00:11:54,317 --> 00:11:56,019 between these two people. 234 00:11:56,019 --> 00:12:00,903 You can do this crap yourself. 235 00:12:01,085 --> 00:12:07,551 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, and it's. 236 00:12:07,551 --> 00:12:09,216 People who aren't computer friendly are really, really, 237 00:12:09,235 --> 00:12:11,783 really getting on my nerves. 238 00:12:11,783 --> 00:12:12,230 It's. 239 00:12:12,230 --> 00:12:18,049 We're 25% of the way through the 21st century here, and if 240 00:12:18,090 --> 00:12:23,779 you can't read an email and much less follow the step-by-step 241 00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:26,304 instructions that we tried to make foolproof, yeah. 242 00:12:27,972 --> 00:12:30,634 Speaker 3: We try, man, we try, but I will say I don't. 243 00:12:30,634 --> 00:12:34,042 If someone honestly doesn't know something, let me help you. 244 00:12:34,042 --> 00:12:36,716 I will hold your hand, I will screen share. 245 00:12:36,716 --> 00:12:38,051 Let's figure this. 246 00:12:38,051 --> 00:12:41,999 Let's go on a journey together, but the weaponized incompetence 247 00:12:41,999 --> 00:12:45,871 is something that I have no patience for. 248 00:12:46,773 --> 00:12:50,876 Speaker 2: Well, this pretty much brings me straight to my 249 00:12:51,236 --> 00:12:54,039 third little anecdote from recently. 250 00:12:54,039 --> 00:12:59,346 You know I will hold someone's hand, I will do a lot of things 251 00:12:59,865 --> 00:13:03,476 for people and I'm trying to help them out, especially if 252 00:13:03,538 --> 00:13:06,493 it's something new and not everybody does HR in and out. 253 00:13:06,493 --> 00:13:08,864 And you know they have these questions. 254 00:13:08,864 --> 00:13:10,890 Actually it sort of leads in both my other two stories. 255 00:13:10,890 --> 00:13:15,599 But we had an employee who was leaving the country to do some 256 00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:22,955 work for us on an overseas site and before they left like two 257 00:13:22,975 --> 00:13:26,240 weeks before they left they requested a company credit card 258 00:13:26,441 --> 00:13:32,697 to put their expenses on and through our HRS we send them an 259 00:13:32,918 --> 00:13:36,104 email to complete their credit card authorization, them an 260 00:13:36,124 --> 00:13:39,029 email to complete their credit card authorization. 261 00:13:39,029 --> 00:13:43,535 It's like five-page slide deck of the rules and 262 00:13:43,556 --> 00:13:44,864 responsibilities of using the company credit card and then 263 00:13:44,923 --> 00:13:45,870 like an acknowledgement sign-off form. 264 00:13:49,678 --> 00:13:50,782 It takes less. 265 00:13:50,782 --> 00:13:53,690 Five minutes would be extremely generous. 266 00:13:53,690 --> 00:13:57,787 Well, the person never completed it and they never 267 00:13:57,866 --> 00:14:03,278 asked any questions because I in HR, the credit card is still in 268 00:14:03,278 --> 00:14:06,860 , because when employees get credit cards, they come to my 269 00:14:07,144 --> 00:14:10,272 office because I hand them to the person once they've 270 00:14:10,312 --> 00:14:13,394 completed their authorization form and that we have it. 271 00:14:13,394 --> 00:14:17,884 So the authorization was sent to them like two weeks before. 272 00:14:17,884 --> 00:14:18,510 They never did it. 273 00:14:18,510 --> 00:14:19,312 They get overseas. 274 00:14:19,312 --> 00:14:20,715 Oh, I don't have my credit card . 275 00:14:21,778 --> 00:14:25,653 And on top of this, this is oh, we sent you an email. 276 00:14:25,653 --> 00:14:28,259 I gave them the date and time it was sent to go ahead and 277 00:14:28,279 --> 00:14:29,451 complete this form. 278 00:14:29,451 --> 00:14:30,572 I said how about this? 279 00:14:30,572 --> 00:14:32,235 Go ahead and complete it now. 280 00:14:32,235 --> 00:14:38,063 We'll FedEx it to you at your hotel and you'll have it for the 281 00:14:38,063 --> 00:14:38,804 rest of your trip. 282 00:14:38,804 --> 00:14:42,332 Nothing still. 283 00:14:42,332 --> 00:14:49,405 So don't complain to me, HR, when you, you know it goes, they 284 00:14:49,405 --> 00:14:51,493 want you to babysit them, Not only you know. 285 00:14:51,493 --> 00:14:52,375 Here's the thing. 286 00:14:52,375 --> 00:14:53,739 Okay, you need to complete this . 287 00:14:53,739 --> 00:14:56,352 Once you complete I mean the email instructions and the 288 00:14:56,413 --> 00:14:59,740 verbal instructions were very easy just go in, complete this 289 00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:00,240 form. 290 00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:01,604 You know, read this five. 291 00:15:01,604 --> 00:15:05,158 I think it's only like five, five slides on the little slide 292 00:15:05,178 --> 00:15:07,653 deck about using your company credit card, sign the 293 00:15:07,673 --> 00:15:10,780 authorization form and I will put that credit card right there 294 00:15:10,780 --> 00:15:11,442 in your hand. 295 00:15:11,442 --> 00:15:16,139 But no, they want to be babysat so badly. 296 00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:17,802 Speaker 3: Oh my gosh so. 297 00:15:17,802 --> 00:15:22,378 Sometimes it is, sometimes it is yeah. 298 00:15:22,791 --> 00:15:24,517 Speaker 2: Well, since my next thing is sort of related, I'll 299 00:15:24,537 --> 00:15:24,878 take over. 300 00:15:24,878 --> 00:15:27,197 Then I'll throw the rest of the show over to you. 301 00:15:27,197 --> 00:15:32,078 Yeah, I had an employee contact me about a quote unquote 302 00:15:32,099 --> 00:15:33,020 workplace entry. 303 00:15:33,020 --> 00:15:36,535 They received and I'm like, okay, I'm starting to get all 304 00:15:36,556 --> 00:15:38,682 the paperwork collect, all the information, everything. 305 00:15:38,682 --> 00:15:44,158 It turns out it's not related to work at all, but they just 306 00:15:44,219 --> 00:15:46,183 wanted to get paid for being out . 307 00:15:48,091 --> 00:15:49,096 Speaker 3: Well, doesn't everybody? 308 00:15:51,092 --> 00:15:53,740 Speaker 2: Well, they wanted to be paid and I understand that. 309 00:15:53,740 --> 00:15:56,239 But I think they were listening . 310 00:15:56,239 --> 00:15:58,056 They didn't contact HR first. 311 00:15:58,056 --> 00:16:00,094 They were listening to the wrong people giving them the 312 00:16:00,153 --> 00:16:02,539 wrong information about workers' comp. 313 00:16:02,539 --> 00:16:07,878 Well, it turns out that they wanted short-term disability and 314 00:16:07,878 --> 00:16:13,038 the company pays 100% for your and our company pays 100% for 315 00:16:13,099 --> 00:16:16,490 short-term disability for our employees, so it doesn't come 316 00:16:16,529 --> 00:16:17,413 out of their paycheck. 317 00:16:17,413 --> 00:16:18,716 All full-time employees get it. 318 00:16:19,297 --> 00:16:22,111 And I'm sitting there talking and I'm like, and as they're 319 00:16:22,432 --> 00:16:24,798 relaying the like, when did this happen? 320 00:16:24,798 --> 00:16:25,660 Well, I don't really know. 321 00:16:25,660 --> 00:16:27,052 And it started this. 322 00:16:27,052 --> 00:16:28,855 I'm like, okay, this is starting to get. 323 00:16:28,855 --> 00:16:33,912 You're not selling me, you're not giving me anything to go on, 324 00:16:33,912 --> 00:16:36,375 that this is a work-related injury and I just said, hey, I 325 00:16:36,414 --> 00:16:37,917 don't think this is going to fall under work. 326 00:16:37,917 --> 00:16:40,321 Oh yeah, this person said it would be, it should be workers' 327 00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:40,581 comp. 328 00:16:40,581 --> 00:16:42,964 No, no, well, I need to get paid. 329 00:16:42,964 --> 00:16:43,625 I need to get paid. 330 00:16:43,625 --> 00:16:51,892 I'm like I said I will file the workers' comp claim but I am 331 00:16:51,912 --> 00:16:52,994 99.99% sure it will be denied. 332 00:16:52,994 --> 00:16:54,778 I said you know, if you want to go that route, I'll support you 333 00:16:54,778 --> 00:16:54,957 on that. 334 00:16:54,977 --> 00:16:57,563 But I think, based on what you've told me, this is you know 335 00:16:57,563 --> 00:17:03,019 , you know personal, you know outside of work related injury 336 00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:07,674 and you should be eligible for short-term disability and and 337 00:17:07,714 --> 00:17:08,256 things like that. 338 00:17:08,256 --> 00:17:12,952 But it just took a long time of convincing that that this is. 339 00:17:12,952 --> 00:17:18,622 You have not related this to me being work at all and how this 340 00:17:19,663 --> 00:17:22,650 came about, but just they listened to the wrong person and 341 00:17:22,650 --> 00:17:25,255 of course, that person knows more than I know about. 342 00:17:25,255 --> 00:17:28,961 If they just come to me and, oh , I've been hurt, I can't work, 343 00:17:29,103 --> 00:17:30,792 da da, da da, we got. 344 00:17:30,792 --> 00:17:32,538 Okay, that sounds like it should be a short-term 345 00:17:32,558 --> 00:17:33,000 disability. 346 00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:37,096 We can get you out and keep you out on that until you're able 347 00:17:37,115 --> 00:17:37,596 to come back. 348 00:17:37,596 --> 00:17:40,800 But yeah, a whole nother ball of wax. 349 00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:45,252 So those are my little four stories I I had for today. 350 00:17:45,252 --> 00:17:47,317 I know you, you had something. 351 00:17:47,317 --> 00:17:50,605 There's some stuff too yeah. 352 00:17:50,704 --> 00:17:52,910 Speaker 3: So, hi, I have a question. 353 00:17:52,910 --> 00:17:55,692 So I'm putting together this training and it's. 354 00:17:55,692 --> 00:17:59,196 But well, like I'm kind of reevaluating a training and then 355 00:17:59,196 --> 00:18:05,604 gonna see how we can update it, and I was thinking you know 356 00:18:05,624 --> 00:18:08,207 what makes the training or anything stick. 357 00:18:08,207 --> 00:18:20,792 Go down this rabbit hole, thinking what were the most 358 00:18:20,813 --> 00:18:22,016 impactful trainings or nuggets of wisdom that I got from a 359 00:18:22,036 --> 00:18:23,417 training that to this day still sticks with me. 360 00:18:23,417 --> 00:18:25,462 So that's my question. 361 00:18:25,462 --> 00:18:30,277 I'm just curious what have you like? 362 00:18:30,277 --> 00:18:32,661 What has stuck with you after all these years? 363 00:18:33,182 --> 00:18:35,874 Speaker 2: And that's such a hard question. 364 00:18:35,874 --> 00:18:38,751 I've had some really interesting training experiences 365 00:18:38,751 --> 00:18:42,160 , but things that I'm going to take and I'm going to use year 366 00:18:42,299 --> 00:18:43,343 after year forever. 367 00:18:43,343 --> 00:18:47,963 One of the best trainings I did and this was in the 90s I did 368 00:18:48,023 --> 00:18:53,635 the AIRS Advanced Internet Recruiting I don't even know if 369 00:18:53,655 --> 00:18:56,981 that's the correct acronym where they teach you to use surf the 370 00:18:57,041 --> 00:19:02,217 web to find resumes and things Once in the 90s, before you had 371 00:19:02,278 --> 00:19:04,482 CareerBuilder and you had Monster and a few other things. 372 00:19:04,482 --> 00:19:09,842 But they taught us how to use WebCrawler. 373 00:19:09,842 --> 00:19:13,059 That was the search engine they recommended for using to search 374 00:19:13,059 --> 00:19:15,046 resumes and that just sticks with me. 375 00:19:15,046 --> 00:19:16,029 I don't even know what that is. 376 00:19:17,094 --> 00:19:22,710 Oh gosh, how old I am as a kid no, Piled on just in the last 377 00:19:22,750 --> 00:19:25,867 five seconds of how old I am but yeah, WebCrawler was actually a 378 00:19:25,867 --> 00:19:31,098 pretty good search engine back in the day, pre-Google days. 379 00:19:31,098 --> 00:19:35,912 I mean, I think Google was around then, but it was the late 380 00:19:35,912 --> 00:19:39,723 90s so I don't know exactly when Google appeared on the 381 00:19:39,763 --> 00:19:39,964 scene. 382 00:19:39,964 --> 00:19:45,357 But yeah, they taught the class on how to use WebC for use uh, 383 00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:48,967 search for resumes and things that aren't on the job boards 384 00:19:49,067 --> 00:19:52,455 and and things like that, so that I thought that at the time 385 00:19:52,496 --> 00:19:54,328 I thought this is going to stick with me forever and I'll use it 386 00:19:54,328 --> 00:19:54,328 . 387 00:19:54,328 --> 00:19:59,088 But no, I'm going to see if web crawler is still a thing if I 388 00:19:59,651 --> 00:20:04,613 hit that what that's. 389 00:20:05,433 --> 00:20:05,974 Speaker 3: That was not. 390 00:20:05,974 --> 00:20:07,096 That was not a. 391 00:20:08,019 --> 00:20:10,723 Speaker 2: That was a comment on just how fast technology moves, 392 00:20:10,723 --> 00:20:16,557 not a comment no, I'll be good with it just just to clarify 393 00:20:16,597 --> 00:20:20,165 there is a web crawler out there , a search engine still called 394 00:20:20,226 --> 00:20:25,373 web crawler, I don't know how uh related it is to the 90s thing, 395 00:20:25,373 --> 00:20:29,438 but no, the one that I probably , and I don't use it formally. 396 00:20:29,438 --> 00:20:34,574 In a prior position I was a certified predictive index 397 00:20:34,814 --> 00:20:38,855 analyst and I learned predictive index. 398 00:20:38,855 --> 00:20:43,532 I got really into it, which is strange, because I went in jaded 399 00:20:43,532 --> 00:20:46,858 and thinking this is a bunch of hooey and it's not going to. 400 00:20:46,858 --> 00:20:51,794 You know, it's a bunch of, you know, mumbo jumbo and it turned 401 00:20:51,854 --> 00:20:55,626 out that it you know it had some it had. 402 00:20:55,626 --> 00:20:57,854 I could see the results and they could. 403 00:20:57,854 --> 00:21:00,079 I felt it was rather accurate. 404 00:21:00,401 --> 00:21:03,647 Now I will caveat that to say it was accurate when it was used. 405 00:21:03,647 --> 00:21:06,712 It was intended to be used for, but so many managers wanted to 406 00:21:06,833 --> 00:21:09,998 use it for things that were beyond the scope of it. 407 00:21:09,998 --> 00:21:13,369 But even now we're the company I'm with now we don't use 408 00:21:13,430 --> 00:21:14,192 predictive index. 409 00:21:14,192 --> 00:21:16,826 We don't, we don't do that type of screening or everything. 410 00:21:16,826 --> 00:21:19,974 But as I'm talking to people, I'm trying to sort of categorize 411 00:21:19,974 --> 00:21:24,173 them and you know, know how to work with them, knowing that, oh 412 00:21:24,173 --> 00:21:27,307 , oh, okay, I'm picking up that this person's traits are more 413 00:21:27,346 --> 00:21:30,494 along the lines of this and I can, you know, communicate 414 00:21:30,555 --> 00:21:33,888 better with them this way, and so that in that way it stuck 415 00:21:33,949 --> 00:21:38,077 with me and I still use it, even though, you know, I'm not a 416 00:21:38,404 --> 00:21:41,372 certified predictive index analyst any longer. 417 00:21:41,372 --> 00:21:43,718 But that's something that I would say stuck with me. 418 00:21:43,718 --> 00:21:46,371 So what about you? 419 00:21:46,444 --> 00:21:47,789 Speaker 3: I was just going to say really quick I didn't use 420 00:21:47,830 --> 00:21:48,452 Predictive Index. 421 00:21:48,452 --> 00:21:52,929 We used something kind of similar, and I get it, though, 422 00:21:53,048 --> 00:21:56,155 because even to this day, I'm like, oh, this person kind of 423 00:21:56,215 --> 00:22:00,993 fits this, so I'm going to shape the way I talk to them in a 424 00:22:01,074 --> 00:22:02,797 certain way, because I know they might be a little more 425 00:22:02,857 --> 00:22:03,558 analytical. 426 00:22:03,558 --> 00:22:08,328 So I get that and I think that's so useful. 427 00:22:08,328 --> 00:22:11,651 Do you remember what your profile was in Predictive Index? 428 00:22:12,632 --> 00:22:16,134 Speaker 2: Oh, I actually have it saved somewhere, so let's see 429 00:22:16,134 --> 00:22:17,015 if I could. 430 00:22:17,015 --> 00:22:20,538 I just remember we teased Everybody in HR did it first as 431 00:22:20,959 --> 00:22:24,741 we were to guinea pigs for it, and one of the things that said 432 00:22:24,761 --> 00:22:29,310 I was aloof, so let me see if I can pull it I I'm aloof. 433 00:22:29,853 --> 00:22:37,290 Speaker 3: Let's see here I'm always like, I'm always the same 434 00:22:37,290 --> 00:22:39,373 okay, actually there's always like. 435 00:22:42,115 --> 00:22:47,880 Speaker 2: I was a high A, low B , low C, high D. 436 00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:51,707 So my strongest behaviors I'm task-focused, I'm independent, 437 00:22:51,787 --> 00:22:55,895 analytical, authoritative and direct, proactive and assertive, 438 00:22:55,895 --> 00:22:57,507 independent things like this. 439 00:22:57,507 --> 00:23:00,212 But I'll forward this over to you. 440 00:23:00,212 --> 00:23:02,037 I really liked it. 441 00:23:02,037 --> 00:23:06,368 But in a lot of times when you see things like this, it's 442 00:23:06,509 --> 00:23:09,227 what's going to make you a lot of. 443 00:23:09,227 --> 00:23:13,075 It gives you things oh yeah, it's so general that you can, oh 444 00:23:13,075 --> 00:23:16,368 , they could, you know, sort of like a psychic type thing, and 445 00:23:16,409 --> 00:23:17,894 they, oh yeah, that's me, that's me. 446 00:23:17,894 --> 00:23:20,489 When they're just giving you you know someone, your name, 447 00:23:20,911 --> 00:23:24,188 someone your family has a vowel in their name and yeah, but no, 448 00:23:24,208 --> 00:23:29,046 this, this has I will say mine's , mine's pretty dead on, because 449 00:23:29,046 --> 00:23:32,817 I'm like, because I did you get like a name with yours. 450 00:23:32,939 --> 00:23:37,550 No, now they have like labels no , I didn't get well, actually 451 00:23:37,810 --> 00:23:41,117 probably in the book either, because they have sales types 452 00:23:41,378 --> 00:23:45,315 and things like that, but not, I don't remember the names and I 453 00:23:45,355 --> 00:23:46,498 don't have my books anymore. 454 00:23:46,498 --> 00:23:49,233 I probably got rid of those long, long ago. 455 00:23:49,233 --> 00:23:50,650 As you can see, I did this. 456 00:23:50,650 --> 00:23:53,842 I did the assessment in 2012. 457 00:23:53,842 --> 00:23:58,297 So this is a few years old, but it's interesting. 458 00:23:59,708 --> 00:24:01,594 Speaker 3: I was the, I'm the maverick. 459 00:24:01,594 --> 00:24:07,097 I am innovated outside the box and I am undaunted by failing. 460 00:24:07,886 --> 00:24:09,593 Speaker 2: Yeah, I like these things. 461 00:24:09,593 --> 00:24:11,330 Oh, here's a good paragraph. 462 00:24:11,330 --> 00:24:14,613 Warren is a very reserved, intense person who is strongly 463 00:24:14,653 --> 00:24:15,275 results-oriented. 464 00:24:15,275 --> 00:24:19,289 He's a self-starter whose drive and sense of urgency are 465 00:24:19,329 --> 00:24:22,776 tempered and disciplined by his own concern for quality and 466 00:24:22,856 --> 00:24:23,817 accuracy of his work. 467 00:24:23,817 --> 00:24:26,122 Own concern for quality and accuracy of his work 468 00:24:29,006 --> 00:24:30,833 Introspective and analytical, his approach to anything he does 469 00:24:30,833 --> 00:24:32,680 is carefully thought out, based on detailed knowledge of all 470 00:24:32,700 --> 00:24:33,964 pertinent facts through the analysis of relevant details. 471 00:24:33,964 --> 00:24:38,175 So you know, I do think that that comes across well. 472 00:24:38,175 --> 00:24:38,517 Let's see. 473 00:24:38,517 --> 00:24:40,211 Where does it call me aloof? 474 00:24:40,211 --> 00:24:43,717 Oh, Warren may be perceived by others as aloof or distant but 475 00:24:44,057 --> 00:24:47,244 in time, earned their respect for his professional knowledge 476 00:24:47,345 --> 00:24:50,134 and expertise in the soundness of his decisions. 477 00:24:54,125 --> 00:24:55,068 Speaker 3: He grows on you. 478 00:24:56,152 --> 00:24:57,615 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I like mold. 479 00:24:57,615 --> 00:25:03,892 So what was your trading? 480 00:25:03,892 --> 00:25:05,636 That stuck with you and you still use. 481 00:25:07,986 --> 00:25:10,372 Speaker 3: So we used to do this cultural, like this corporate 482 00:25:10,412 --> 00:25:14,308 culture shaping thing and one of the things that two of the 483 00:25:14,328 --> 00:25:16,673 things that came out of it that still sticks to me to this day 484 00:25:17,474 --> 00:25:19,259 is assuming positive intent. 485 00:25:19,259 --> 00:25:23,775 Like most people, they just want to go to work and they want 486 00:25:23,775 --> 00:25:26,249 to do a good job, and then they have other things outside of 487 00:25:26,289 --> 00:25:30,319 their life that they want to get to, and very rarely like 0.1 488 00:25:30,740 --> 00:25:34,009 chance that someone is actually out to get you and it's out to 489 00:25:34,048 --> 00:25:34,971 make you look bad. 490 00:25:34,971 --> 00:25:41,325 So every time it takes a lot to like make me upset. 491 00:25:41,325 --> 00:25:44,171 It doesn't happen very often because for the most part I'm 492 00:25:44,191 --> 00:25:49,409 just like it's not that deep, like it really isn't so. 493 00:25:49,409 --> 00:25:53,936 So that's one of them, and the other one was the circle of 494 00:25:54,017 --> 00:25:54,538 control. 495 00:25:54,538 --> 00:25:57,835 Like you have to, just there are things in this life that you 496 00:25:57,835 --> 00:26:00,965 can control and the only thing that you can control is yourself 497 00:26:00,965 --> 00:26:04,573 , and then there are things you can influence and then outside 498 00:26:04,594 --> 00:26:07,278 of that, it's just gravity. 499 00:26:07,278 --> 00:26:09,105 Like you can't control gravity. 500 00:26:09,105 --> 00:26:11,954 You just have to accept that. 501 00:26:13,204 --> 00:26:18,125 Speaker 2: You know I just today finished another audio book and 502 00:26:18,125 --> 00:26:23,366 I read this like a long, long time ago James Cabell's Shogun, 503 00:26:23,728 --> 00:26:25,770 you know, and they did the Netflix movie on it, which I 504 00:26:25,810 --> 00:26:26,772 haven't seen yet. 505 00:26:26,772 --> 00:26:30,419 But I redid the audio book and you know they keep talking about 506 00:26:30,419 --> 00:26:30,419 . 507 00:26:30,419 --> 00:26:33,608 You know, it's karma, it's karma and that I think that's 508 00:26:34,590 --> 00:26:34,971 actually. 509 00:26:34,971 --> 00:26:38,298 You know, don't let it, don't dwell on it. 510 00:26:38,298 --> 00:26:40,367 It's karma, it's going to happen, it's, and then when 511 00:26:40,387 --> 00:26:41,329 things are done, they're done. 512 00:26:41,329 --> 00:26:43,073 It's karma, it's past, it's behind you. 513 00:26:43,073 --> 00:26:48,309 If you don't dwell on things and you don't, I think when 514 00:26:48,369 --> 00:26:51,689 people hold on to grudges and you know, oh, this person was 515 00:26:51,749 --> 00:26:59,174 mean to me or did something bad to me 20 years ago, okay, yeah, 516 00:26:59,556 --> 00:27:01,809 let's move on to that, move on from that. 517 00:27:01,809 --> 00:27:04,814 So anyways, yeah, good book. 518 00:27:04,814 --> 00:27:06,170 I'm glad I read it again. 519 00:27:06,170 --> 00:27:09,426 Now I've got another audible credit. 520 00:27:09,426 --> 00:27:11,833 I got to burn for the month of March, or not burn, but I want 521 00:27:11,853 --> 00:27:13,718 to figure out what's my next. 522 00:27:13,718 --> 00:27:20,868 Listen, I have a lot of those, yeah, but I will say another 523 00:27:20,949 --> 00:27:24,998 training that I was involved in, I'll go ahead and say it. 524 00:27:25,045 --> 00:27:33,406 When I worked at the law firm, they had a very large labor and 525 00:27:33,467 --> 00:27:35,471 employment section and one of my favorite people was one of the 526 00:27:35,490 --> 00:27:38,057 labor and employment attorneys and we chit-chatted personally 527 00:27:38,297 --> 00:27:42,769 occasionally and if I had the opportunity I would go in there 528 00:27:42,849 --> 00:27:45,732 and just listen to them and pick their brains and learn from 529 00:27:45,752 --> 00:27:45,913 them. 530 00:27:45,913 --> 00:27:48,635 You know I loved that. 531 00:27:48,635 --> 00:27:54,326 But she did our firm's harassment training and one year 532 00:27:54,326 --> 00:27:59,036 we were doing the harassment training and I was the only man 533 00:27:59,356 --> 00:28:04,593 in the room so I was picked on and whatever. 534 00:28:04,593 --> 00:28:06,596 Because I was, you know, warren . 535 00:28:06,596 --> 00:28:09,755 Let's say Warren did this and I'm like no, don't say not say 536 00:28:09,795 --> 00:28:10,598 Warren did that. 537 00:28:10,598 --> 00:28:14,666 But it was all good, we had, everybody had a good time, it 538 00:28:14,727 --> 00:28:18,169 didn't offend me, my feelings weren't hurt, I thought it was 539 00:28:18,229 --> 00:28:21,698 funny as hell a lot of the time and stuff like that Love that. 540 00:28:22,286 --> 00:28:26,336 But once again, things you probably wouldn't do today with 541 00:28:26,355 --> 00:28:31,988 it, and I was like no, let's not say Warren did this, but I got 542 00:28:32,028 --> 00:28:34,955 picked on because once again I was the only male in the room. 543 00:28:34,955 --> 00:28:38,291 But yes, funny, fun stuff. 544 00:28:39,034 --> 00:28:39,736 Speaker 3: Love it there. 545 00:28:40,156 --> 00:28:46,694 Speaker 2: So Well, do you have anything else that you want to 546 00:28:46,715 --> 00:28:47,277 cover today? 547 00:28:49,707 --> 00:28:50,830 Speaker 3: I have nothing else. 548 00:28:50,830 --> 00:28:51,513 I'm tired. 549 00:28:51,513 --> 00:28:54,172 I've been in meetings all day. 550 00:28:54,172 --> 00:28:58,849 I want to go drink a glass of wine and do nothing. 551 00:28:59,753 --> 00:29:01,711 Speaker 2: Yeah, what did you have that episode? 552 00:29:01,711 --> 00:29:02,614 An old-fashioned. 553 00:29:02,614 --> 00:29:06,145 You've got
