200100
6840
03:30
the company this company is always looking  for new ways to motivate our workers
21
210180
7560
03:40
we have realized you are not as motivated  as before and that's probably our fault
22
220020
7380
03:50

23
230040
7740
03:59
and I want you to tell me the truth we  want to improve the performance here
24
239880
6060
04:09
we have the objectives clear and you know that  but we'll just make it possible if you cooperate  
25
249720
7860
04:19
that's why I want you to tell me what you need in  order to work better and sell more of our products
26
259440
8340
04:29
please feel free to tell me the truth  anything you tell me I will take into account
27
269940
7140
04:39
so who wants to start then Orlando  what about you what do you need
28
279900
7320
04:49
wow I never thought this day  will come someday it's amazing
29
289680
7200
04:59
I mean do not misunderstand me  please we like to work here but
30
299820
7260
05:09
it's the first time you ask  us something like that anyway
31
309660
6120
05:17
um
32
317160
500
05:19
well to start we need a new air conditioning  machine it can get really hot in here  
33
319680
7860
05:29
sometimes it's too hot that we sweat a lot  our shirts get wet and we can't work like that  
34
329280
8220
05:39
so on your conditioning machine will  be amazing also the cafeteria oh my God
35
339480
7440
05:49
you really need to sell more types of food  various food we can't eat the same every day  
36
349140
7860
05:58
we need more healthy food and not only  fast food more vegetables and fruits please
37
358860
6960
06:08
for me I think that's all Lucas also have  some things to say right Lucas come on
38
368760
7980
06:19
to be honest yeah good afternoon  supervisor you know I don't usually talk
39
379200
6960
06:29
but this is a great opportunity to tell you  all the things we need in order to work better
40
389040
7320
06:38
well first I think you need to know that we  work really hard every day every single day  
41
398400
8100
06:48
and every time we are thirsty and we need to  drink something we have to go to the cafeteria
42
408480
7620
06:58
that takes us a lot of time and also money  that's why I think we need a water dispenser  
43
418620
7980
07:08
a water dispenser in each office will be fine  that way we could drink water while working
44
428220
7500
07:18
and another thing is the first Ed kit last  day I cut myself with a paper by mistake  
45
438180
8340
07:27
I went to the nursing room here in the company  and I couldn't find anything not even a bandish  
46
447960
8220
07:37
that's why I beg you please take care of that  oh before I forget that we need more time  
47
457980
8460
07:48
I mean to have lunch 45 minutes it's not  enough I think it must be at least one hour  
48
468000
8760
07:57
that way we could eat well and not really  fast an hour would be fine I think that's it
49
477900
7800
08:07
oh I was talking to Finnick and he  also has some ideas come on Finnick
50
487920
6960
08:17
honestly I didn't expect something like this I  think this is a great idea you and the manager had  
51
497520
8400
08:27
it's something good you really take care of  our Necessities as your workers that's great
52
507660
6780
08:37
I know we have been having some issues  at selling the company products but
53
517320
6780
08:47
this will really help us stay  motivated and about our requirements
54
527220
7080
08:57
all that my co-workers had said before is  true but we need something even more important  
55
537600
7380
09:06
to start we need more vacation  days 15 days is not enough for us
56
546960
6660
09:17
I think it should be 30 days minimum that  way we could travel to some nice place
57
557100
6960
09:26
or we could just stay at home and enjoy that  time with our families it could be great
58
566820
7200
09:36
also we need a pay raise the money we earn  every month is not enough and we need more
59
576840
7560
09:47
I think 50 of our salary would be awesome  that's the best way to stay motivated  
60
587280
7500
09:56
and to finish we would like to have Saturdays  free we don't like working on that day
61
596760
7200
10:07
that's why I propose we work just from  Mondays to Fridays what do you think
62
607260
7020
10:16

63
616860
6480
10:27
I see I have heard you all now  I know what you want from us
64
627120
7080
10:36
make sure I would talk to the general  manager to find the best solution don't worry
65
636780
6660
10:46

66
646980
