And that is how exactly HR and managers start making a case against you. When you speak up advocating for yourself, they realize you cannot be taken advantage off and they build up a case to fire you. My advice: KEEP A JOURNAL AND WRITE DOWN EVERYTHING! Also, keep all conversations through email so you have proof of everything they ask and your answers.
So recognisable, so true! But after 15 years of trial and error, being a Veronica myself (including collecting data about everything's that happens to me), it doesn't work out in the end. The last time I was fired, I was fired for asking questions and delaying the project. I got the giggles. "You do realise I am the specialist, and it is my function to analyse risks and mitigate them? I already flagged this plan of approach as weak, not feasible, and not allowed by law and regulation?" I think I kept giggling, tears running down my face up until the question came, "Oh really Vicky, so what is the next step in the project? What is your forecast?" I answered, "That is simple. You want to implement a minimal viable product that has no contents as you didn't measure them and didn't put them in the system. Every system is as good as the idiot that programmed it. So, no programs, no content to the programs, makes the minimal viable product empty. The customer won't let you implement the chosen product, as that one is not allowed per roles and legislation, just how I had warned you about. So, I give the team 2 months, max 4, before you all get fired, and before it becomes national news that XYZ has security breaches. And now you are firing that one person in the team who is actually specialised in this shit for the past 15 years. This is so freaking hilarious." This is how I dropped my mike at my childhood dream's employer, knowing that I would never return in the field nor business. That this was it. I am so done with the childish big business world that I am now rethinking my career. My example was my last straw. I will probably become self-employed and retrain into becoming something like an electrician, a plumber, or a forest ranger. My advice, if you find yourself on Veronica's end continuously with every breath you take because you are the only one taking responsibility, and someone else always gets your bonus? Step out before you end up in an asylum. Take your loss. You don't have the personality to survive the business world. Congratulations, you are a decent human being.
I’d say get a microphone and Bluetooth it to your phone and just record everything. Then instead of your word against theirs, it’s their word against theirs.
Veronica definitely should NOT have told a coworker what she was doing. She should keep up the ruse that she’s not done with her stuff, yet. Coworkers are NOT your friends. They will tattle on you. Remember, you are in high school for the rest of your life.
That's exactly what I keep telling my kids so they don't walk into any job blind or eventually disappointed with the work environment. 9/10 it's forever h.s. dynamics if you don't have a very solo-type career.
I don't think truer words have ever been written (?). It's forever high school, and HS wasn't fun the first time around. It amazes me how catty people are as adults in a work environment.
This is the exact opposite of what we are told to do with kids in education when they complete work early. Some people need different work, but they should be fairly compensated for their work.
@@vampirina-vp7opit's almost like school and work are two different things. In school you get coddled and rewarded by your teachers, Who actually want to see you do well.

This is how we wish we could talk. In reality, the boss will find a way to get rid of you. Get something on the boss. Things will go much more smoothly.
Sadly, i started a job where i had to talk like this in the beginning... worked a second job at the time it started too ive chilled out now. In the beginning, i argued with the person that hired me cause she was nit picking and acting as though I don't have a life outside. Ended up getting dirt on her, many people have had bad encounters with her... ow she's meek, quite and even nice at times. No more threats to fire me, no more issues from me. Especially seeing how high the turnover rate was... kinda silly for a manager to act rude and dumb. When u point that out to people even higher than them, changes will be made in your favor.
Know your pay rights people! I ran payroll for about 25 small businesses in my area for years and the amount of managers that had no clue what the pay laws were was appalling, gather evidence and threaten to take this up with your state and sue their ass not just for your rights violations but everyone else's in that place and they change their tune real quick
Actually thats part of the problem, we ALL need to talk this way and respond to unreasonable demands so they understand its not acceptable. If only a few do it, then employers know they can replace them. If everyone does it, then they have to adjust their practices. Employers need us as much as we need them.
Mama taught us that from her military experiences. You do YOUR WORK FIRST. Never stop doing your assignment to help some goldbrick. If your work is not done , you get no credit for their job you did.
Yeah, but if you do finish your work, you do help others who struggle. If it’s recurrent, have a chat with your boss. If you have whom to talk to, that is.
In the military, it's the officers taking credit for all the work the NCOs and the soldiers below them have done White the officers sat in their chair drinking coffee and having "meetings" all day.
The manager is too kind. She didn't talk over the employee every time she tried getting her point across, nor did she threaten how replaceable she was every 5 seconds. XD
Right?! Also, she didn't come charging into Veronica's office (like a bull in a China shop) and start yelling, screaming and accusing... making no sense at all, but very triggering and illiciting a response from Veronica... that made Veronica out to be the one with "anger issues."
@@j.clements2093Your personal experience doesn't reflect on the nation-wide accent of Cubans or Dominican Republicans, so you don't get to tell them they're wrong just because your family speaks a litttle bit different. I've worked with coworkers in other countries and the accent is quite similar in all mentioned above, plus also Panama.
My family?! 😂😂😂You mean my world. My whole existence I’ve been surrounded by Dominicans, Puerto Ricans, and Cubans. I’ve also lived and visited different parts of Latin America and the USA. I KNOW what these accents sound like and am rarely wrong. Do you even speak Spanish?😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@j.clements2093 I am from Honduras, an actual latin american country. Our official language is spanish. The place i work for has branches in 8 other countries: Colombia, Panama, USA, Dominican Republic and the entirety of Central America, excluding Belize. As for you, is your whole world like 1km wide in diameter? Because for you to not recognize a VERY accurate cuban accent when you claim to be surrounded by them makes me believe you're just full of shit. Either that or you think that cubans living in Puerto rico makes the cuban accent part of puerto rico. That's not how it works.
Veronica, I wish I knew you or had your videos about work when I joined the work force back in the 80’s. I always had bended over backwards or work endless hours without compensation. Thank you for what you do.
@@TRenai3 I said that to my boss, and his answer was, "I don't know, just fix it" and walk away. The situation stayed the same, and I never heard anything else from him or anybody else. It was funny and bizarre at the same time.
It takes HUGE cajones for The Job to ask an employee NOT TO have a 2nd job. If they aren't paying enough that the employee isn't OBLIGED to work additional jobs, they NEED TO give raises and/or bonuses so the employee makes enough to live on.
Every woman has at least ONE 2nd job; it is called FAMILY - if you have to hire a nanny, due to overtime - or a cleaning lady, buy takeaway food or skip all quality-rime with your kids, as daddies often do, those extra costs should be compensated with a raise in salary😅
It is quite ridiculous for sure. They'd prefer I didn't have a second job? Funnily enough I'd prefer it too! Do the bosses really think people have those second jobs for a hobby or something, and wouldn't rather do something fun or relaxing with their time if they could afford it?
"Look, I am sorry that older generations allowed coorperate jobs treat them like trash and walk all over them but I dont want to become an alcoholic who takes my work frustrations out on my family or a drug user because work pisses me off and I dint have a spine to stand up to them. Im sorry you are used to that sort of messed up behavior but I am going to prioritize my work life balance and focus on my family time. If you want me to work off the clock and work extra time, you are going to pay ke for that extea time. Bottom line. Dont like it? Good luck replacing me and training them to do what I can."
I'm GenX & I didn't put up with this b s., either. I know people who did, though, and I think it's more people who are afraid of having to look for another job & afraid of confrontation who put up with this. I honestly think you'd have to be just as much a psychopath as the supervisor for it to not affect you - just IMHO. I had no problem with going to HR and reporting illegal workplace tactics - again, it's just my belief that too many of today's middle management don't actually know some of their policies are illegal & operate out of the view of HR; if employees don't say anything, they get away with it, though. I should add that part of my expertise was researching ERISA & labor laws, so I was a little more knowledgeable than most people. My dad was also an abusive alcoholic, former US Marine, so I became used to defending myself & my family from a capricious maniac's psychological drama - supervisors were easy after him (and years of counseling).
When you act like that you make your own life harder, and you're creating a toxic environment for other employees that are just trying to do their job. You can't ever peek at your phone, send a text, check instagram, make a phone call, send a personal email, shop for a gift, etc. Unless you plan on taking vacation hours you also can't go to a kids school performance, a doctors or dentist appointment, leave early so you can coach your kids sports team, etc. Work time is for work only, and after 5pm is your time. Being a stickler about everything just puts you under more scrutiny. If you can't understand that then you will hate every job and nobody will like you.
This reminds me of when I was accused of not being a team player. I asked by who and my manager refused to say, then I guessed the person and my manager again said they can't say because they want to let us know we can anonymously report issues to them. I then asked how exactly I wasn't being a team player and still nothing. I say "So, you want me to improve and be a team player, but you won't tell me how I am failing as a team player right now?" They said "This attitude right here is one thing you can work on and not take everything as a hostile action." To which I said "My attitude is like this right now because someone reported me for something I don't know about liking swaying you into threatening my job and or my raise and bonus. I'm sitting here confused wondering what I did wrong and you won't answer that. How am I supposed to react? That's fine though, I know it was x and I could say the same thing about them. Should I raise that to you to talk to them now or should I talk to HR?" My manager then said "You know what, you two don't need to get along, as long as it doesn't affect either of your performance I'll just forget about this."
My work did this. Told me I was the top performer, most efficient, etc, etc, so they gave me the work of all the people who were slacking off! No thanks. Best thing is I quit and became a contractor so now they pay me four times as much to do work for them and I bill them for every goddamn second 😁
When I had applied for a better job position, I was instructed to help the new person how to do the job. HE complained that I was being hostile to him. My reply to my departure supervisor, Fine! He’s on his own. Don’t come complaining to me when bozo messes up. He chose not to accept my training. He thinks he knows better than me, who saved production from huge mistakes in supplies.
That's what happened to me - started supporting one, then 1 month in it became 4 and fast forward 3 years it was a whole team of 23. Same pay, no increase, no recognition, no promotion while those suckers got them. No joke. I ended up getting a pay off for leaving, or else I'd taken them to court for it. Don't help anyone, EVER, if you work for a corporation.
7:14 as an employee, you have to be really careful with this. But I would go: “are you willing to raise my salary to incentive me to let go of my second job?” “No… blah, blah” “ok. Then this is your answer.”😊
I had a boss that called me at home about something, and then got upset when I charged an extra three hours to the appropriate work order. It was clear from the system activity log that I worked three hours and three minutes after that call. It took me an extra two weeks and an HR meeting to get paid for those hours. Two things haplened after that. 1) I left the office three minutes early the following Friday, just enough to skip the end-of-day parkade traffic snarl. 2) I never answered another after-hours phone call from that boss again. I told him that we'd need an on-call policy developed before that would happen again.
@@bradsimpson8724 I love that you left work exactly three minutes early that one time. I would do the same thing in that situation. Some might consider it petty, but to me it's only fair!
At my old job I had to tell my supe that I dont mind helping ppl but Im not going to keep doing their work for them. Especially when its ppl that get paid more than me.
As someone who made the mistake of telling my full time job that I had a second part time job, it’s a HUGE mistake to do that! Never do it! If they ask you, lie. It’s none of their concern and they will pay you less. Also, coworkers will expect to get free products from you too.
Lol, more like you are salty because you refuse to actually stand up for your rights when it comes to the workplace, so you are used to your boss walking all over you. You think everyone else should be the bosses lap dog just because you've chose to be.
@ I actually work for myself. However I have had enough past awful or difficult employment to know that a positive mindset is vital for survival. Telling me I have chosen to be a lapdog is funny if you actually knew me. I have workers and they get compensated and treated very generously. That being the case, they are very loyal.
Why? Are you scared? Edit: if you want loyalty then be prepared to pay for it. It isn't free it isn't a given it isn't a guarantee. I have loyalty to no one especially not a company. I'm not there to make you feel good about yourself. Come to me with BS you will get BS back.
I did an interview where the employer wanted only the sales job first. He expected me to not have any obligations beyond work and hated the idea of his sales reps working as a door dash driver on the side.
Exactly. I can’t wait till I walk away from both of my jobs and see when the first job ends up looking me up on LinkedIn after I update it and sees that I had a second job for almost half the time I was employed with them. They love spying on me with their own accounts or through the accounts of their friends.
Bahahahhahaha!!!! Veronika went from "Yo quiero Tako Bell straight to Vivvvva Dominikaaaa faster than a Tesla once those pesos improved!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Bahahahhaahah! That's how you have to play the game with these penny penching Corporate companies!
I told my old boss I needed to work my second job so that I could afford food. I had to explain that 3 or 4 times. I need to eat to perform well. I need more than rice to keep my energy up. I was salary, and they wanted me to do 12 hour days, which is 4 free hours of labor.
I just recently had a boss who told me to help a coworker. I worked in a middle school cafeteria and came back from medical leave. They had hired 4 new women. When I came back, my boss and coworkers were shocked. Had to look for stuff for me to do. Boss told me that I would be helping Sam on her side of the serving area, refilling the foods and drinks. I did just that. Boss came to me 5 days later and said Sam came to her crying, saying I was trying to ouch her out of her job. Instead of my boss explaining to her that she told me to help her, my boss told me to stop, and instead, go back and dry dishes every day. So moral of the story is- be careful-if you go what your boss tells you to do, and you help your coworkers (AS A TEAM!!) you are a malicious bitch trying to steal someone’s job that actually took your job while you were on leave.
Does acting this direct, assertive, and bold actually work in the work environment? I feel like acting this way will get you fired for "being difficult to work"
Corporations have to follow guidelines in order to not get sued for wrongful termination.... She is staying in the boundaries to not get fired. It's fine as long as you don't expect to make any friends at work and do your job correctly. Because no one will look over your mistakes unless they absolutely need you.
They don't really need a reason to fire you, and if they do they can make it up and deal with the consequences in court should it get there. They usually have a legal and HR department and their only role is to protect the company. Veronica would either get fired very quickly for some minor mistakes (everyone makes those) or made to quit by piling more and more shit on her plate. I've been in her shoes a few times and it always ends bad for the employee. Even if you win the court case you will probably never recover the mental trauma of being singled out and treated unfairly. Or the years you spent fighting for it. You will always carry that with you to any place of employment.
1. They don’t need to know what is happening in your off time. Are they going to tell people to stop having kids? Which is way harder than moonlighting. 2. Help out coworkers but do not do their job for them, do not create a dependence where they can’t function without you. 3. If you don’t like where you work, have an escape plan. If you do like where you work, have an emergency plan (3-6 month savings). Slacking off will only hurt you in the long run.
The idea of hiding the identity of the snitch is honestly silly. I get the idea in theory, but this is a corporate office, you're not hiding from the mafia. If grown adults with salaried, comfy jobs can't work through a conflict then they shouldn't have those jobs. At least, in theory. In reality we all know HR wouldn't be a fair arbiter anyway. 🙄
“Hey, it’s been brought to my attn that you are difficult to work with.” *immediately shows that she’s terrible to interact with* 😂 I sincerely hope ppl watching this know you can’t talk to ppl like this in any professional environment. This type of behavior demonstrates zero EQ and is why ppl don’t get what they want at work and then end up even more disgruntled. You can have boundaries without having an attitude 😎
This was my life. I always worked fast and finished before deadlines. I was a supervisor and the other supervisor in my department couldn't get anything done to save her life. My manager expected me to "help" her. It was crazy doing two jobs
On more than one occasion I've been passed over for a job that they give to someone externally who's 'more qualified', then asked to teach that person how to do the job that you didn't get. Never take it lying down.
Wow! ACCURATE!! Companies rarely understand that they don't own you. It's pathetic how they ALWAYS back up the flaky and lazy workers and efficient workers are penalized for not wanting to be exploited. HOLD THE RIGHT PEOPLE ACCOUNTABLE AND STOP SCAPEGOATING YOUR EFFICIENT STAFFERS!!!
I have had a few of these conversations myself. For me, management seems to have a ton of meetings scheduled within a few minutes of my conversation with them.
Time is like an abstract strange thing for managers. They never take time into account. They would say "is very easy and simple" but never acknowledge that takes more time.
In the boomer era, if you went above and beyond, you got promoted. Predictably, everyone worked like crazy. Then, companies stopped promoting from within, destroying that motivation. Now, they are trying to figure out how to get that kind of motivation without rewarding it. The pricks.
So true- people who actually DO their job get totally taken advantage of and then the promotion will go to "Jenny" because her work is so exemplary😡🙄(ik!)
All of this would just get you fired. It's a nice fantasy, getting to get all these words out, before they cut you off. And if you say half of this stuff, once they leave the interaction, they will also immediately rewrite the dialogue, to make you sound as nasty and/or unhinged as possible. Rarely do things get resolved with people in power of any kind, who don't care.
I really love how V's spanish improved as the pay went higher. 🤣
Reminds me of the welding one I saw. A crappy one versus an awesome one, depending on the pay.
Personally, I think she settled for too low
What was she saying in Spanish *currently trying to learn*
@maryfaithmobley175 🤷♂️ that's what we pay Veronica for. 🤣
My husband used to get 5% extra for being bilingual. I say used to because he’s now self employed and makes double what he did back then.
If you paid me more, I'd not have a second job. Here are my bills, just try and figure how I can pay them on my current salary.
I cannot fathom a company telling their employees to only work for them, but not paying them enough to live off of!
Well no need, pay me the bills and I quit the other job
Imagine if they told you to live in a trailer park or something to 'reduce the bills' T.T
@@rylandrc I would not put it past them to do that.

@@TRenai3 I said that to my boss, and his answer was, "I don't know, just fix it" and walk away. The situation stayed the same, and I never heard anything else from him or anybody else. It was funny and bizarre at the same time.
Having boundaries in the work place makes people WITHOUT boundaries so uncomfortable 😂 Be direct and take care of yourself at work❤️
It takes HUGE cajones for The Job to ask an employee NOT TO have a 2nd job.
If they aren't paying enough that the employee isn't OBLIGED to work additional jobs, they NEED TO give raises and/or bonuses so the employee makes enough to live on.
Asking you to not have a second job is asking you to commit that time to them, which is a paid request.
Every woman has at least ONE 2nd job; it is called FAMILY - if you have to hire a nanny, due to overtime - or a cleaning lady, buy takeaway food or skip all quality-rime with your kids, as daddies often do, those extra costs should be compensated with a raise in salary😅
@@brianbarber5401meaning they should pay more so this person won’t look for more jobs
It is quite ridiculous for sure. They'd prefer I didn't have a second job? Funnily enough I'd prefer it too! Do the bosses really think people have those second jobs for a hobby or something, and wouldn't rather do something fun or relaxing with their time if they could afford it?
@@LisaBeta-42 Thank you for your sexist comment. Reminder: there is a ton of men that have do family chores.

These are like the imaginary conversations you have with yourself when you’re trying to fall asleep at night, but they’ve been animated.
I kid you not...this supervisor blinking makes the supervisor look slow...so accurate 😂
😂
"Look, I am sorry that older generations allowed coorperate jobs treat them like trash and walk all over them but I dont want to become an alcoholic who takes my work frustrations out on my family or a drug user because work pisses me off and I dint have a spine to stand up to them. Im sorry you are used to that sort of messed up behavior but I am going to prioritize my work life balance and focus on my family time. If you want me to work off the clock and work extra time, you are going to pay ke for that extea time. Bottom line. Dont like it? Good luck replacing me and training them to do what I can."
I'm GenX & I didn't put up with this b s., either.
I know people who did, though, and I think it's more people who are afraid of having to look for another job & afraid of confrontation who put up with this.
I honestly think you'd have to be just as much a psychopath as the supervisor for it to not affect you - just IMHO.
I had no problem with going to HR and reporting illegal workplace tactics - again, it's just my belief that too many of today's middle management don't actually know some of their policies are illegal & operate out of the view of HR; if employees don't say anything, they get away with it, though.
I should add that part of my expertise was researching ERISA & labor laws, so I was a little more knowledgeable than most people. My dad was also an abusive alcoholic, former US Marine, so I became used to defending myself & my family from a capricious maniac's psychological drama - supervisors were easy after him (and years of counseling).
When you act like that you make your own life harder, and you're creating a toxic environment for other employees that are just trying to do their job. You can't ever peek at your phone, send a text, check instagram, make a phone call, send a personal email, shop for a gift, etc. Unless you plan on taking vacation hours you also can't go to a kids school performance, a doctors or dentist appointment, leave early so you can coach your kids sports team, etc. Work time is for work only, and after 5pm is your time. Being a stickler about everything just puts you under more scrutiny. If you can't understand that then you will hate every job and nobody will like you.
"we prefer you didnt have second job"
"i prefer more money"
"And we both know that ain't happening on either end soo yeah..."
This reminds me of when I was accused of not being a team player. I asked by who and my manager refused to say, then I guessed the person and my manager again said they can't say because they want to let us know we can anonymously report issues to them. I then asked how exactly I wasn't being a team player and still nothing. I say "So, you want me to improve and be a team player, but you won't tell me how I am failing as a team player right now?" They said "This attitude right here is one thing you can work on and not take everything as a hostile action." To which I said "My attitude is like this right now because someone reported me for something I don't know about liking swaying you into threatening my job and or my raise and bonus. I'm sitting here confused wondering what I did wrong and you won't answer that. How am I supposed to react? That's fine though, I know it was x and I could say the same thing about them. Should I raise that to you to talk to them now or should I talk to HR?" My manager then said "You know what, you two don't need to get along, as long as it doesn't affect either of your performance I'll just forget about this."
My work did this. Told me I was the top performer, most efficient, etc, etc, so they gave me the work of all the people who were slacking off! No thanks. Best thing is I quit and became a contractor so now they pay me four times as much to do work for them and I bill them for every goddamn second 😁
😂😂😂😂 She FR started rapping in Spanish as the pay gradually kept increasing.
When I had applied for a better job position, I was instructed to help the new person how to do the job. HE complained that I was being hostile to him. My reply to my departure supervisor, Fine! He’s on his own. Don’t come complaining to me when bozo messes up. He chose not to accept my training. He thinks he knows better than me, who saved production from huge mistakes in supplies.
Well, WERE you being hostile..?
I don’t work for free. I’m not checking emails outside of work
I may answer a text or call back if it's important but if it can wait until my next shift, then I'm not going to waste my free time.
If an email is time sensitive then it should have been sent first thing in the morning
That's what happened to me - started supporting one, then 1 month in it became 4 and fast forward 3 years it was a whole team of 23. Same pay, no increase, no recognition, no promotion while those suckers got them. No joke. I ended up getting a pay off for leaving, or else I'd taken them to court for it. Don't help anyone, EVER, if you work for a corporation.
Veronica, you are my hero! Eres mi heroína!
7:14 as an employee, you have to be really careful with this. But I would go: “are you willing to raise my salary to incentive me to let go of my second job?” “No… blah, blah” “ok. Then this is your answer.”😊
Or sure, we will pay you the extra but you have to spend all the time here that you would spend on your second job. This is not bulletproof.
They could also give you a small raise that doesn't compensate you enough to make up for it.
Pay the damn overtime 😅
I had a boss that called me at home about something, and then got upset when I charged an extra three hours to the appropriate work order. It was clear from the system activity log that I worked three hours and three minutes after that call. It took me an extra two weeks and an HR meeting to get paid for those hours. Two things haplened after that.
1) I left the office three minutes early the following Friday, just enough to skip the end-of-day parkade traffic snarl.
2) I never answered another after-hours phone call from that boss again. I told him that we'd need an on-call policy developed before that would happen again.
@@bradsimpson8724 I love that you left work exactly three minutes early that one time. I would do the same thing in that situation. Some might consider it petty, but to me it's only fair!
I have had everyone of these conversations with a boss somewhere over the years this is so relatable
Imagine if everyone had this kind of assertiveness
There would certainly be more job openings
@@Issoirre they would, but eventually cultures would change
At my old job I had to tell my supe that I dont mind helping ppl but Im not going to keep doing their work for them. Especially when its ppl that get paid more than me.
As someone who made the mistake of telling my full time job that I had a second part time job, it’s a HUGE mistake to do that! Never do it! If they ask you, lie. It’s none of their concern and they will pay you less. Also, coworkers will expect to get free products from you too.
Veronica is who I wannabe when I grow up!!!
This is an employees fever dream. It’s entertaining, but I wouldn’t recommend watching any of these before going into work. Heh
😂😂😂😂
Wet dream or fevre dream ?
Lol, more like you are salty because you refuse to actually stand up for your rights when it comes to the workplace, so you are used to your boss walking all over you. You think everyone else should be the bosses lap dog just because you've chose to be.
@ I actually work for myself. However I have had enough past awful or difficult employment to know that a positive mindset is vital for survival. Telling me I have chosen to be a lapdog is funny if you actually knew me. I have workers and they get compensated and treated very generously. That being the case, they are very loyal.
Why? Are you scared? Edit: if you want loyalty then be prepared to pay for it. It isn't free it isn't a given it isn't a guarantee. I have loyalty to no one especially not a company. I'm not there to make you feel good about yourself. Come to me with BS you will get BS back.
Veronica moves her desk a lot 😂
I love Veronicas work ethics, she knows her value.
In the real world, she’d get fired.
@@calisongbirdsix times but she kept going back cause they need someone like Veronica.
Call me super V ... Wait that might sound inappropiate 😂😅
Talking to these managers is like trying to reason with law enforcement.
Don't tell anyone at work that you have a second job, do not disclose anything about your personal life.
Yeah exactly. At the end of the day it’s none of their business
Super V is a G 😂😂
I did an interview where the employer wanted only the sales job first. He expected me to not have any obligations beyond work and hated the idea of his sales reps working as a door dash driver on the side.
I LOVE these so much.
The blinking is hysterical 🤣
I would quit my first job if I were her.
I think I would prefer freedom over that.
Meanwhile CEOs are on 10 boards and are CEO of 3-4 companies 😂
Exactly. I can’t wait till I walk away from both of my jobs and see when the first job ends up looking me up on LinkedIn after I update it and sees that I had a second job for almost half the time I was employed with them. They love spying on me with their own accounts or through the accounts of their friends.
Did she bring in the court of Law? Veronica. It’s the thuggery for me.
Bahahahhahaha!!!!
Veronika went from "Yo quiero Tako Bell straight to Vivvvva Dominikaaaa faster than a Tesla once those pesos improved!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Bahahahhaahah! That's how you have to play the game with these penny penching Corporate companies!
I LOVE this. It’s also a lesson in how to handle such situations 👏
Stick People facing Flesh People problems😂😂
I’m done speaking Spanish at work, that last skit had me in tears.
Yeah, this is how every work environment is. If you do well, you get to pick up the slack for people who work slower or less efficiently.
I told my old boss I needed to work my second job so that I could afford food. I had to explain that 3 or 4 times. I need to eat to perform well. I need more than rice to keep my energy up. I was salary, and they wanted me to do 12 hour days, which is 4 free hours of labor.
You should not have worked a minute more than 8 hours a day, 5 days a week.
@petermartin9494 you're right. I shouldn't have.
my 2 favorites are the spanish and the 2nd job. i'll bet for 4 an hour she could throw in some dominican and a dash of cuban.
I just recently had a boss who told me to help a coworker. I worked in a middle school cafeteria and came back from medical leave. They had hired 4 new women. When I came back, my boss and coworkers were shocked. Had to look for stuff for me to do. Boss told me that I would be helping Sam on her side of the serving area, refilling the foods and drinks. I did just that. Boss came to me 5 days later and said Sam came to her crying, saying I was trying to ouch her out of her job. Instead of my boss explaining to her that she told me to help her, my boss told me to stop, and instead, go back and dry dishes every day. So moral of the story is- be careful-if you go what your boss tells you to do, and you help your coworkers (AS A TEAM!!) you are a malicious bitch trying to steal someone’s job that actually took your job while you were on leave.
Veronica dont put up with the 🐮💩
The progression of fluency in Spanish is soooo good.
Does acting this direct, assertive, and bold actually work in the work environment? I feel like acting this way will get you fired for "being difficult to work"
Corporations have to follow guidelines in order to not get sued for wrongful termination.... She is staying in the boundaries to not get fired. It's fine as long as you don't expect to make any friends at work and do your job correctly. Because no one will look over your mistakes unless they absolutely need you.
100%
@@sadejones6657 They will bully you out.
They don't really need a reason to fire you, and if they do they can make it up and deal with the consequences in court should it get there. They usually have a legal and HR department and their only role is to protect the company. Veronica would either get fired very quickly for some minor mistakes (everyone makes those) or made to quit by piling more and more shit on her plate. I've been in her shoes a few times and it always ends bad for the employee. Even if you win the court case you will probably never recover the mental trauma of being singled out and treated unfairly. Or the years you spent fighting for it. You will always carry that with you to any place of employment.
@@bogdan192 Very well said.
The way they’re all up in your business, yeah, sounds about right.
1. They don’t need to know what is happening in your off time. Are they going to tell people to stop having kids? Which is way harder than moonlighting.
2. Help out coworkers but do not do their job for them, do not create a dependence where they can’t function without you.
3. If you don’t like where you work, have an escape plan. If you do like where you work, have an emergency plan (3-6 month savings). Slacking off will only hurt you in the long run.
Love it, but if you do this in my country, you'll get fired and you can't even take them to court 🤦
The idea of hiding the identity of the snitch is honestly silly. I get the idea in theory, but this is a corporate office, you're not hiding from the mafia. If grown adults with salaried, comfy jobs can't work through a conflict then they shouldn't have those jobs.
At least, in theory. In reality we all know HR wouldn't be a fair arbiter anyway. 🙄
I like the way Veronica always types a couple of extra strokes before responding to the manager
Veronica is something else 😂😂😂😂😂
“Hey, it’s been brought to my attn that you are difficult to work with.” *immediately shows that she’s terrible to interact with* 😂 I sincerely hope ppl watching this know you can’t talk to ppl like this in any professional environment. This type of behavior demonstrates zero EQ and is why ppl don’t get what they want at work and then end up even more disgruntled.
You can have boundaries without having an attitude 😎
Thats why you dont talk to people at work.
I LOVE Veronica. That “Super V” comment was totally unexpected. It had me spitting out my soda. Best laugh I’ve had today. 😂
I love this … I wish I could
Pull this off at work 😂
This was my life. I always worked fast and finished before deadlines. I was a supervisor and the other supervisor in my department couldn't get anything done to save her life. My manager expected me to "help" her. It was crazy doing two jobs
This. Video pissed me off. This is exactly what I wish I could tell managers without retaliation
That ceaseless "Veronica, do you have a second?" would becoke so obnoxious!! Each time V hears it, she's gonna fry and then die a little bit, inside.
I like the way she keeps typing when she hears that phrase.
Veronica no doubt works for a bank🤣
This is the mentality that everybody must have at the meat grinder workplace!
Credit should be given to the REAL Veronica for the use of her skits and voice.
Who is that?
I empathize with Veronica’s energy so much I’d marry Veronica at this point. She’s a god damn icon! 😂
On more than one occasion I've been passed over for a job that they give to someone externally who's 'more qualified', then asked to teach that person how to do the job that you didn't get. Never take it lying down.
Veronica is my spirit animal
Wow! ACCURATE!! Companies rarely understand that they don't own you. It's pathetic how they ALWAYS back up the flaky and lazy workers and efficient workers are penalized for not wanting to be exploited. HOLD THE RIGHT PEOPLE ACCOUNTABLE AND STOP SCAPEGOATING YOUR EFFICIENT STAFFERS!!!
Any managers here recognize yourself in the video? What's your side?
Wow, THIS VIDEO was the best one of the series!!😅😅
😂😂😂 this is my favorite skit, she is so legit
This one encouraged me to subscribe to this channel. Genius with the second job and the Spanish speaking salary requirement.
The last one was super funny 😂😅
How many channels pass around the same story? I have seen this one on three channels so far.
All these Veronica skits get stolen and used by multiple channels for views…
I have had a few of these conversations myself. For me, management seems to have a ton of meetings scheduled within a few minutes of my conversation with them.
Super V.... Wait, might not be appropriate... 😂
After decades of work everyone gets to this point. Life of work sucks. Don't overwork yourself.
This should be a mandatory training course before any job 😂
Time is like an abstract strange thing for managers. They never take time into account. They would say "is very easy and simple" but never acknowledge that takes more time.
I love everything about this video.
I love these. And I'm glad this Creator is getting paid for all their hard animation work. Lol. Keep making that money!! 😂😂
In the boomer era, if you went above and beyond, you got promoted. Predictably, everyone worked like crazy. Then, companies stopped promoting from within, destroying that motivation. Now, they are trying to figure out how to get that kind of motivation without rewarding it.
The pricks.
Veronica is my spirit animal. 🙂
So true- people who actually DO their job get totally taken advantage of and then the promotion will go to "Jenny" because her work is so exemplary😡🙄(ik!)
All of this would just get you fired. It's a nice fantasy, getting to get all these words out, before they cut you off. And if you say half of this stuff, once they leave the interaction, they will also immediately rewrite the dialogue, to make you sound as nasty and/or unhinged as possible. Rarely do things get resolved with people in power of any kind, who don't care.
I’m feeling Veronica on this been through this. And my Supervisor was just like this on for all of these episodes 😈🤣
"As long as l do my job HERE, when I'm HERE!" 😂😂😂
