Speaker 1 (00:00):
He eats the French Shiel Good Morning on the radio
and the iHeart Nap as well. Search for the French
Shiel on demand. We were talking about office politics yesterday.
I think I really stirred it up. I don't really
mean to you. We're talking about office we you know, collectively,
we were not doing no no, it was collective. It
was collective. We were talking about office politics yesterday. This

(00:21):
is office gate going on here. I want you to
know that.

Speaker 2 (00:24):
I tried.

Speaker 1 (00:25):
You know, they have little digital signs outside all of
these offices. If you miss this yesterday, you have to
reserve an office in our office area now. And there's
a battle going on between two executives who believe they
should have the big office. One person thinks it should
just be his, and he's moved in. Another is offended
by that, and it blocks the office and gets like
the it people to block the office out before it

(00:45):
or or he just gets there earlier and takes it.
And these are high level executives. It's hysterical. It's really funny.
So I tried to get them to say that I
guess when you reserve it, it like says on the outside
of the side of a little little like digital thing,
who's got it. I tried to get them to change
that to Fred Show office so that nobody could have it,
but for some reason they wouldn't do that. I don't

(01:07):
know why they wouldn't do that. I have no idea
what it wouldn't play my games. And then I said,
we should make like a dry erase board and then
just reserve the kitchen or something for ourselves, just the
Fred Show kitchen reserved and then have like Jason stand
outside and anybody who tries to go and be like, no, no, sorry,
we have this reserve today.

Speaker 2 (01:24):
We have a label maker here. We could just label
all the snacks.

Speaker 1 (01:26):
And French Show cup of noodle, Frend Show, died coke.
You should you should Freends Show refrigerator, French Show coffee maker. Honestly,
well you got will you start making no signs? I
want you to just taste them up on everything Fred Show, snacks,

(01:48):
Frend Show, coffee bean, this coffee beans not but this
one is we reserved it today. I just I can't
believe though these are grown ass adults and this is
the kind of scandal that we have going true office
gate going on right now. I bring this up though,
because an anonymous Reddit user posted a photo of an
alleged sign that suggests that hospital workers at an undisclosed

(02:10):
location are being charged to use the microwave. What who
is anything like this going on in your office? Is
anything crazy like this going on in your office where
you're like? What the hell? Eight five five five nine
one three five is how you call it? You can
text the same number any ten. A photo was uploaded
of a sheet I hope this is a joke on
the microwave and claims that a single microwave use is

(02:33):
two dollars and somehow you can have a monthly unlimited
microwave pass for thirty dollars. Now, I didn't see like
there's no like credit card thing or.

Speaker 2 (02:41):
Whatever it is. I guess it's an honor system.

Speaker 1 (02:44):
I use a microwave at work, I gotta pay you
two dollars.

Speaker 2 (02:47):
This has to be a joke. Month you can buy
your own. How broke are we? I'll pay five dollars
not to use the microwave of this work. Yeah, that's
another thing. This microwave is disgusting for us.

Speaker 1 (02:59):
There better be somebody getting into like a bathroom attendant
after every time, like scrubbing that thing out.

Speaker 2 (03:04):
That's what I'm thinking.

Speaker 1 (03:04):
Maybe they've had enough of just the discussingess that can
go on in the microwave, especially when you share it
amongst people, so they're like, now hiring someone to clean it.

Speaker 2 (03:12):
I don't know, no, I mean, uh so.

Speaker 1 (03:14):
This sign apparently applies to hospital employees, and it was
in a staff break room. Microwaves are available in other
areas of the hospital, but the behavioral health units social
work department posted the sign. Yeah, and then somebody was like, well,
buy the unlimited pass and then charge everyone else a dollar.

Speaker 2 (03:32):
Side off rufio. That's something you would do. Yeah, yeah,
pay the unlimited put a lock on that.

Speaker 1 (03:38):
One of the comments is yeah, it honestly seems like
either a joke or someone abused a microwave enough to
have this happen. Several Reddit commenters noted that the thirty
dollars for a single monthly microwave pass would be enough
to purchase a smaller portable microwave.

Speaker 2 (03:50):
Yah. Yeah, I'd bring my own.

Speaker 1 (03:52):
You have got to be kidding me, though, If I
work someplace like the least, the least in my opinion,
that you can provide if I work somewhere is a bathroom,
some water of some kind. I think coffee is a
minimum expectation.

Speaker 2 (04:06):
Basic human rights, all three of those right, basic human rights.

Speaker 1 (04:11):
I mean, if I need a supply of some kind
to do my job, I know they don't do that here,
but there should be. You know, I have to bring
my own pens from home. I don't even know where
to get them. I mean, I do steal post I
used to steal postage. I don't know anymore because I
don't know how to do it anymore. Yeah, I used to, well, well.

Speaker 2 (04:32):
There you go.

Speaker 1 (04:32):
But I used to be like, hey, gave me all
this for me. It's totally professional, and it was like Bill.

Speaker 2 (04:39):
The old Florida mailing stuff. I wish it. I can't
believe this, Like I can't believe it.

Speaker 1 (04:45):
I guess this sort of pettiness happens and everybody's place
of business though well, but then at the same time
there's always the one guy or girl that abuses whatever
it is. Like I remember at one place I worked
there was free feminine hygiene products, but women, I guess
a few in particular, were like just stocking taking them home.

Speaker 2 (05:06):
Wow, So they stopped. They weren't free anymore.

Speaker 1 (05:11):
And then people were like mad because they weren't free,
and it's like, well, that's because somebody decided that, like
they don't need to go to the drug store anymore.

Speaker 2 (05:17):
I guess, so they just took them all home.

Speaker 1 (05:19):
So I mean, you know, there's always there's always at
least one person rufio who just goes a little too far.

Speaker 2 (05:26):
I'm not the one that took up plants home, like
when there was plans here. Oh yeah.

Speaker 1 (05:32):
That was another thing, is that they bought a bunch
of plants to put in the office to make the
office look nice. People started walking out with them, I guess,
to the extent that the that the security guards called
the one of the suits. It was like, do you
mean for there to be a massive exodus of plans
coming out in the office. And then it's like no, no, no, no, no.
Those weren't for everybody. Those were like to make the

(05:53):
night place look nice. Provide work supplies laughs a teacher's laugh.

Speaker 2 (06:00):
There's another there you go. That's what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (06:03):
Every year we cleared teacher wish lists because you know,
of all the different supplies the teachers needed that they
want to having to buy with their own money. In
many cases, my job has a curing, but you have
to bring your own K cup what what do's so mean,
a whole pack and just start charging other people like

(06:25):
Rufia would have a hustle going Yes, absolutely French show
