 what? The horn. What horn? The Italian horn that I got her. Oh. You don't get one because you're Irish. How would you wear an Italian horn? Yeah, exactly. I wouldn't. From Valique, Scuciamende, Camorilla. Fuck you too. I'm too. You're my best friend. First human rights to humans, I'm Corbin. I'm Rick. I'm Barbara. You're false and you're a scum. You're a scum. You're a scum. You're a scum. You're a scum. False and you're a person. You do channels like Scuciamende. No, what machine's around? What? What does that even mean? It doesn't even mean anything. You feel that way because you're Irish. What? We understand. We understand. It's a meat, the balls. Yeah. Your mom does know balls quite well. Don't wanna encourage him. Oh. Sorry, I'm looking for what we're doing here. That's okay. You should sing Blue Bayou because it's out of the way. Why you put it over here? You did. Today we're reacting to it. It's called Half Day. Wanna wear it? Get it to go put it hanging on a tree. It's the Half Day, the viral office rant. Let's read that. The Half Day viral office rant. Read that. This is a satirical video about the office culture in India where employees who stay late in the office are considered hardworking whereas the employees who work from nine to six and leave home on time are considered non-hardworking. Even employees who really work correctly from nine to six hesitate to leave the office on time as they're scared what their manager might say or think. You guys know Navan Polashetti from various movie trailers. Now he is a talented Tolugu actor who has worked in a Bollywood movie as well. He quit his American IT job to pursue his cinema dream in India. Okay, so yeah, this is a funny sketch. It would be a sketch and just a little background for you, mom, that the Indians, that would be working nine to six as it was stating there, that would be considered like you're not a hard worker because if you're really working hard, you're going to come in way before nine and you'd stay till seven or eight and then you get home and you eat dinner between nine and ten. You go to bed between twelve and one maybe and then you'd be back up and at the office by eight o'clock. A lot of pressure. So I'm guessing this little funny sketch about that kind of work culture in it. We haven't... And that's a given or that's just a... It's an expectation. In the same way it's expected for kids to go to college and get a degree and something like engineering doctor and if you don't, it's not just an expectation for you as a child because it's a parental concern. It's you are bringing disrespect and failure to your whole family by not doing that. It's huge, huge pressure. Not everyone but it's a big thing in India for sure. Here we go. All right. And then I'm gonna... Here we go. Here you go. Get your worn on. All right. It's working. Sorry. I thought it was on. Here we go. Oh my god. He's leaving? Yeah. Half day. He worked from nine to six and they're shaming him for half day. Okay. The problem is that people like you who work all night in the office show up while doing such a job, which creates an impression that yeah, he's a very hardworking employee. He's very serious. He's committed. He works all night. Some people read this for free AC and Wi-Fi. He's their Sadish. He's sitting all night and looking at his phone. He works at nine, but he'll mail it at one and a half so that the boss will be like, oh, okay. He works all night and works all night. He's a very hardworking employee. He's a very hardworking employee. He's a very committed employee. We, who are sitting in the morning with a lot of focus, without any interruption, without any break, are trying to leave at six in the evening. What do we get to listen to? Half day. We're leaving today. What half day? Does anyone come and ask you how many breaks you've been working for 15 hours? 30 cigarette breaks. After that, tea break, toilet break, lunch break. Yesterday's match analysis break. Debates break. Juicy office gossip break. After getting all the breaks, you work for nine hours. You work for 12-15 hours. What kind of efficiency is that? What do we do with these kind of efficient people? We give them a surfer. Oh, oh, oh, oh. He works till 2 o'clock. He gives it a promotion. He works till 4 o'clock. He'll send it to London next year. He'll send it on-site. Why? Why is staying late at work considered a virtue? Why are we rewarding and glorifying it? What do we do with the people who are trying to get out of work on time? We penalize them. We judge them. We make them feel guilty for their choices to leave on time. Why? Who is to blame for this? You and an office culture that has gone unchecked for decades now. You think you've made a lot of money? This company has put a photo of you here. Star performer of the month. Employee of the month. You're very happy, aren't you? The one who looks like a photo here, he's the best. Because he doesn't even know that there's a world outside this cubicle that's very important to me. When I leave this work and go out, there are n number of things that I want. I might have a wife, a family, a friend, whoever I want to meet. I might want to go to the pub with my friends and watch a game. Or play a game myself. Maybe I want to go for a run, read a book in my time, in me time. And I have every goddamn right to do that. You tell me, what else did you do besides playing the office game? What else? Did you play guitar? Cooking? Cooking, fishing, trekking. Have you ever done anything like this? Have you ever gone for a walk with your child? Have you ever had ice cream with him? When did you do this? Isn't this necessary? Now you'll say, I'll do this on weekends. Yes, who told you that life is just to live on Sunday? Which company told you that you should keep on dying from Monday to Saturday and only live on Sunday? What did you write? How old are you now? 30, right? After 10 years, you'll be 40. After that, you'll be 50. And then you'll die one day while paying EMI and bills. No one will care. The day you're dying, you'll sit and think, what did I do? I fed you with a keyboard and nothing else. I don't want to die like this. So I'm going to go right now and enjoy the other half day of my life. Good luck with your full day. I think you pressed a button. Let's go, Gukku. Your full day is left now. Very well done. Very well done. Very well acted by that guy, actually. Very well acted. I think you did a really good job. I did too. I was going to commend him for a very good monologue. Yeah? I liked it a lot and it was very accurate. I'm interested in something, not just about your take on this, but about what you do. Because you stupid babies wouldn't know this, but my mom counsels people. How often do you encounter people who, if they're having an issue in their life, it's workaholicism. Workaholicism. And it's because they do that and they find their merit and their value based on their career and the amount that they put into their career, but they're not putting it in a... Is that a really common occurrence with people who have issues at home? I don't know so much about issues at home yet. It can be, but mostly they haven't really found what their purpose is. I think the purpose is designed through what they are doing and accomplishing. That's what they find their purpose. They don't have materialistic things or they don't have close intimate relationships with people that have quality to them. So that's the quality they get is in those things. Common? Pretty much, but pretty empty. Empty living. Yeah. Well, he's right. Because at the end of the day, when all is said and done, you look back on your life and the time that you spent, and that is one of the most common themes that you hear from people on their deathbed is like the biggest regrets are what they did with their time. And they wished they had not been afraid to pursue their dreams, spent more time with their friends and family. You never have on deathbeds. I wish I'd spent more time at work. And obviously India has a very different work culture than we have here. Even though it is something here, the American work week you're expected, especially in the professional life, like real adulting life. We have nine to five jobs. You're expected to work 40 hours a week. Possibly do overtime if they ask you. Or to have achieved a certain level of work advancement and economic stature by a certain age. And if you haven't, you're a failure. Yeah, we have our own issues here. Obviously the American Capitalism Society has its own big problems here. Obviously it's a very different culture in India. I've always been that way. I've never been one. I've always had a problem with, even though the small jobs, Starbucks or whatever those kind of jobs that I've had, the ones that say we're a family, it's all bullshit. They say they're a family. My family is my family. I'm here because I need money. That's our relationship. I'm not going to do more for you. If you do something, if you pay me, I will go do it. I promise you I won't see you at Christmas. No. I'm not working overtime just because you asked me to. I have a life outside that's way more important than you. And I've always been very high strung about that. I'm very strict about spending time with my family. Especially when I was working at odd jobs. I don't care. My family is much more important than I am. There are situations here where you don't have a choice sometimes. Like when I was a courier for Federal Express, I could have had plans that evening with my family and as a full-time courier, I could be done with my route, have clocked out, be going to the car, and a manager say, Rick, we need you to clock back in and cover a pickup shift. And I could say, I've got plans with my family and they'd say, did you take the day off? And I'd say, no, they said you're full-time. We can write you up for subordination and go pick up the extra shift. I bet you could have sued them for that. I'm not full-time at the time. Because even when I worked at Amazon for delivering packages, you had a four-hour window. You tried to do this. If you didn't finish it within that time, you could bring a package back because that was your allotted time. And you were done. Yeah, not at FedEx. Obviously, I could have still delivered it if I didn't. I usually always finish it at that time, but I could have brought the package back and went, my shift is done. Here's the package. I believe it's probably how FedEx is now, but obviously when you were working there, it probably wasn't a showdown. I bet they got sued if that was their culture. And then there's another culture, which is there's something, this is, I mean, you were just telling me the other day about how when you were teaching aerobics, you were doing 21 classes a week. Which was a breach of whatever their contract with their instructor's work. But you were doing that because you were like, hey, give me the money, I'm going to bust my butt. Yeah, and I was able to. Sometimes companies will take advantage of it because they know people need the money. That's what happened with her because eventually what happened? My knees out. Teaching. We do have some of the culture, obviously it's much more intense in India because obviously a lot of the people believe in that culture too, which is a big problem. But yeah, like people need money here because it's expensive to live here. And so people are like, yeah, you need to, you're going to stay, you're going to do overtime. Yeah. And I don't do a lot of overtime anymore because it's quite expensive here to have employees do overtime. No, it's true. And they do a lot of part-time hiring so they don't have to give them health benefits. But yeah, good video. I enjoyed that a lot. Let us know what other videos will react to down below.
