good morning boss yeah I wanted to talk to  you about some things I'm sorry to bother you
1
11040
6780
00:20
you don't have to be sorry we are here to  help you remember we are like a family here
2
20820
6840
00:30
I'm happy to know that I have had some problems  
3
30720
3780
00:34
lately I want to talk to  you about my work schedule
4
34500
3720
00:40
about your work schedule sure what  is the problem with that tell me
5
40380
6720
00:50
well my work hours are supposed to be  from Monday to Friday from seven to five
6
50220
7380
01:00
well yeah I remember we talked about  that when I hired you that's correct
7
60000
6720
01:09
exactly well I've been staying longer  than I should that's the problem
8
69840
6600
01:19
I'm supposed to be able to leave at five but I  am staying until seven or eight in the evening
9
79680
6840
01:29
really and why is that why do  you stay here until that time Tom
10
89460
6900
01:39
my supervisor he told us to stay to finish  the reports and we have to do them every day
11
99000
7500
01:49
oh but that's normal everyone has to make  their reports and you know that very well
12
109080
6780
01:58
in fact I remember we talked about that when  we had our first meeting before you get hired
13
118800
7860
02:09
yeah I knew we had to make these reports but I  assumed we were going to do them during work hours
14
129000
7740
02:18
I mean if I finish my work at five then the report  has to be done before I leave right well it all  
15
138840
10800
02:29
depends on you I mean if you finish your work  earlier then you can make your report earlier too  
16
149640
7080
02:38
but it doesn't work like that I finished calling  the customers at five and then I make the report
17
158340
7320
02:48
I can't make it earlier because my supervisor  doesn't allowed me to do that you get it  
18
168000
7500
02:57
but Tom we have to stick to our schedules  you know that well you can't live earlier  
19
177420
8040
03:07
no no I don't want to leave earlier I  just want to live on time and that's all
20
187200
7020
03:17
well but I remember I told you that you  would probably have to stay a little more
21
197040
7080
03:27
because of the reports and also because  sometimes there are some things to do
22
207060
6660
03:37
I know you finish work at five but you can't  just leave you have to leave everything in order
23
217080
7080
03:46
staying a few extra minutes is normal  in any company I thought you knew it
24
226860
7260
03:56
but it's not minutes it's hours two or  sometimes three hours I think that's too much  
25
236760
8280
04:06
well you have to be committed to the goals  of the company we're like a family here
26
246780
6720
04:16
and you're not the only one who stays here  late everyone knows we have to work hard Tom
27
256500
7560
04:26
I know I'm not the only worker who stays late  here but that's not why it's going to be fair
28
266460
7140
04:35
at first I thought that those extra hours  worked were going to be pet but I was wrong
29
275760
7380
04:45
and that's another thing last week I got my check  why are you deducting two hundred dollars from me
30
285600
7800
04:55
my salary is eight hundred  dollars but I just received 600.  
31
295800
6540
05:02
why is that let me see on the  computer Tom Sawyer okay I have it
32
302340
10620
05:15
let me explain it to you you work in the  sales area right then what devices do you use  
33
315000
8100
05:24
what devices do I use well a telephone  a computer headphones and an iPad
34
324840
7740
05:34
well there is your answer we deduct a  monthly amount for the devices you use daily
35
334740
7500
05:44
that's why you receive two hundred dollars less  because of the computer telephone headphones
36
344400
7260
05:54
what do I have to pay for that you didn't  tell me that when we talked that's not fair
37
354120
7620
06:04
oh maybe I forgot to tell you that but it's on  your contract the contract you signed remember
38
364140
7320
06:13
I haven't read that contract yet I  will do it today I didn't know that
39
373860
7200
06:23
it's very important to read your contract  before you sign it you should know that Tom
40
383640
7320
06:33
yeah well at least those devices will  be mine when I finish paying for them
41
393540
6900
06:43
what are you talking about those  devices you use are from the company
42
403440
6300
06:53
yeah for now but then they will be  mine right because I'm paying for them
43
413160
6780
07:03
no that's not right we're only renting  you the devices they are not yours
44
423060
7560
07:13
that is also in the contract you should have  read that Tom but you're not entirely wrong
45
433020
7200
07:22

46
442860
6600
07:32
