03:01tell you
03:02how much this means to me after the day I've had your kindness is a ray of sunshine everyone deserves
03:10to be treated with respect I just don't understand how people can just turn away from somebody that's
03:15in need see this is exactly what I was talking about Dylan explain the situation to me now all right
03:28this is Lily she was being harassed outside and needed a safe place to sit for only a few minutes
03:33and I thought that showing some basic human kindness would have been the right thing to do I don't want
03:39to cause any problems I just needed a secure place to collect myself this is a professional office
03:45environment not a homeless shelter or a community center we can't have random people off the street
03:52using our space like it's some kind of public facility it's not about running a charity Helen it's
03:57about showing some human compassion to someone that needed our help I'm a business professional
04:03who understands workplace boundaries Dylan do you know where I'd be if I let every desperate person
04:11who walked the streets to come through this door to set up camp in our reception area this is a
04:18place
04:18of business not a social service exactly okay having random desperate people hanging around damages our
04:27professional reputation what if a client walked in and saw this it's fine I can leave soon you ought
04:33to argue because of me you should have left the moment you walked into here you walked in here uninvited
04:40she's not going anywhere until she feels safe then you have a choice to make Dylan either you escort her
04:48out of
04:48this building or you're fired fine fire me then you're willing to lose your job for a complete stranger that's
04:57just stupid at least I have my integrity at least I treat people with dignity and respect you're terminated
05:05effective immediately clear out your desk gladly
05:19good call
05:27can't believe you would sacrifice your job to protect a complete stranger I do it again without hesitation
05:33because treating people with respect and kindness it's just who I am it's how I was raised
05:39that's beautiful the world needs more people like you well I'll probably need to start job hunting
05:47immediately myself now and or I might end up to a similar situation as yours um if you don't mind
05:54me
05:54asking what's your story how did you end up like this in such a difficult situation oh I used to
06:01have a stable career but I made some poor choices that led to where I am now let me tell
06:09you life can knock
06:12you down hard and make you feel hopeless but there's always a way forward if you don't give up
06:18wow your attitude's incredible even facing homelessness unemployment you still have hope and optimism and that's truly inspiring
06:29staying positive and treating others with kindness is always the right path no matter what circumstances you're facing
06:37well I hope that I can maintain that attitude now that I need to find a new job because the
06:41bills sure don't pay themselves
06:44something tells me you won't be unemployed for very long
06:48what do you mean by that
06:49I'm not finished with this office yet
06:53let's go back inside
06:54what why would you go back in there
06:57trust me
06:59there's something I need to take care of
07:14what are you two losers doing back here didn't you get the message
07:17I have some unfinished business to take care of
07:21Helen they're back
07:27I already told you both to leave if you don't go immediately I'm calling building security to have you two
07:36escorted out
07:37that won't be necessary I've been appalled by the way you two have behaved today
07:43what did you expect
07:45you're some unemployed person who has no business being in our office
07:51actually I'm not unemployed and I'm not desperate
07:56this should be good what are you some undercover reporter
08:00I'm actually the CEO of this company
08:04that's ridiculous you expect us to believe that
08:08I decided to go undercover to observe how my employees treat people
08:14especially those who appear to be in vulnerable situations
08:18and what I witnessed today was absolutely disgraceful
08:23look even if that were true which it's not
08:26let me tell you about our Q3 revenue projections
08:29Garrett we're looking at a 12% increase over last quarter
08:33primarily driven by our new client acquisition in the new healthcare sector
08:38our overhead costs have been running about 8% higher than budgeted due to the office rent
08:44innovation project that Helen approved without proper authorization
08:51should I continue
08:52oh my god okay look you've proved your point I'm so sorry I didn't know
08:56I was just trying to maintain professional standards like I was taught
09:00don't just don't
09:01I was protecting the company's professional image
09:04and maintaining appropriate workplace boundaries
09:07that's part of my job as office manager
09:10your job is to create a workplace environment that reflects our company's values
09:16and what I saw today was the complete opposite of everything this company stands for
09:20please I need this job I have rent to pay I have student loans
09:24yeah well you should have thought about that before you decided to treat another human being like garbage
09:30but workplace policies exist for a reason we can't just let anyone
09:35okay stop talking you're both terminated effective immediately
09:40I can't believe this is happening
09:42this whole thing is insane
09:44she's probably gonna run this whole company to the ground
09:48that bleeding heart attitude
09:50oh
09:58close the door on your way out please
10:00close the door on your way out please
10:02thank you
