00:00We're going to have a team meeting from 6 to 9 on Tuesday, so just meet here then, but come a little early, like 545.

00:06Oh, um, I actually have something going on Tuesday night. Is the meeting mandatory, or can I just, like, get the notes?

00:12Nope, it's mandatory, because if I let you skip it, then everybody's going to skip it, and no one's going to be there.

00:18Okay, well, it's kind of short notice. It's Sunday night, and, I mean, I've had this appointment scheduled for, like, a month and a half, so...

00:24I don't know what you want me to say. It's not my job to work around your schedule.

00:28Yeah, same. I'm allowed to have a life outside of work, and this job is not the most important thing going on in my life.

00:34Well, just like with any employee, we do expect work to be a high priority for you, and sometimes that includes making sacrifices, you know?

00:42So, unfortunately, if you're not at the meeting on Tuesday, we will have to count that as a no-call-no-show.

00:47Okay, fine. But just so you know, I'm already at 39 hours this week, so for two of those hours in the meeting, I'll be in overtime.

00:53Oh, that won't be an issue, actually, because for meetings, since you're not working, you don't get paid.

00:58Oh, so we're not getting paid for this three-hour meeting that we have to be at?

01:02Correct.

01:03Okay, perfect. Then if you're not paying us, it can't be mandatory by law, so I won't be there.

01:08Did you not hear me? If you don't come, it's counted as a no-call-no-show.

01:12This relationship between us is transactional.

01:15I give you my time, and you give me money.

01:18And so if money's out of the deal, then I'm not coming. This isn't a soup kitchen.

01:22This is a required event, whether you get paid or not.

01:25And if you don't show up, your job will be on the line.

01:28If you fire me, I will call the labor board.

01:31And I'm sure they'd be very interested to know about some of the practices we have around here.
