Speaker 2 (00:16):
Wherever you work, you got to ask yourself how far
will you go to try and impress your employer? Maybe
work some overtime, volunteer for events, actually follow the dress code.
Not fine. We're gonna call a guy who hasn't started
his new job yet, but we have a big ask already.
(00:38):
And when I say ask, it's more of a demand.
We'll see how badly he really wants to work. Here

hire for the risk management team, right, yeah, yeah, A
good man, Rick. I just wanted to say welcome to
the company.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
Oh man, thank you. I didn't realize I'd be getting
a formal phone call to welcome me, but I appreciate it. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Well, I mean I work in human resources, so I

a little bit of a situation that's come up, and
that's the reason for my call. I need to talk
with you about it before you start next week. Sure,
So your name is Rick, Yes, And we already have
a Rick working for us. His name is Rick Martin.
(01:43):
He's been with our customer care team for now like
three years. Okay, so, I mean you probably see where
I'm going with this. Not really, I mean you're gonna
have to pick a different name.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
I mean Rick's you want to just make up a name?
Speaker 2 (02:03):
I mean, well, I mean we can't have two ricks,
you know, why not two ricks in one office? That's
going to get really confusing, Rick, Am, And you know, no,
it's not that not that simple. I mean, we had
a situation here in twenty eighteen where we had two
gyms and the chaos had created, I mean, payroll was insane.
(02:25):
Next thing, you know, we're getting rated by the FBI.
So there's just a policy here. We don't do that anymore.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
Wow. I'm just I've never been asked to do something
like this. I've been in workplaces with other people that
had my name before, so well, yeah, that's a little lot.
But I mean I could go by my middle name,
Marcus if you want to do that.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Oh yeah, we already have a guy named Marcus who
works here. Oh okay, do you have another one?
Speaker 3 (02:55):

Speaker 2 (02:57):
A lot of other employees here like to use family
names or maybe a dog's name, give a pet you
want to name yourself.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
After, I mean, you pick my father's name. I guess
if you want to.
Speaker 2 (03:10):

our janitor. Oh man, Well you know what, how about
we make this easy. I actually have a list of
approved names that have not been taken yet. What we have,

Like half of those are women's names.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
I mean, they are available and approved.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
I really don't want to do this. If you want
me to pick a nugger name, I'm gonna need a
little bit of time to like try to think of
one that I can.
Speaker 2 (03:50):

like it?
Speaker 2 (04:15):
