In this episode, I talk about a crazy woman who thought it would be funny to track every single person who supported the trucker convoy on social media and get them fired for cause from their job. This woman is a recruiter, an HR person, and she talks about her strategy to track EVERYONE who posted about their support of The Trucker Convoy.

00:00:00.000 I stumbled upon a video that I think may be one of the craziest videos I've ever seen.
00:00:04.500 In it, a woman who I think has had a few too many glasses of white wine 0.97
00:00:08.100 breaks out her phone and starts ranting her frustrations and her plans
00:00:12.460 to take down and destroy the lives of people who supported the Trucker Convoy in Ottawa.
00:00:17.440 Basically, this woman is a recruiter, an HR person, 0.58
00:00:20.320 and she talks about her strategy to track every single person who posted
00:00:24.920 about their support of the Trucker Convoy on social media
00:00:28.220 and get you fired for cause from your job.
00:00:30.880 Just watch this crazy, crazy video.
00:00:33.500 ...rights and freedom that would tell you that.
00:00:36.060 But since you seem to forget that, and you're all loud and proud with your big thoughts
00:00:40.340 and your big ideas and you want to whatever and set up hot tubs in Ottawa,
00:00:46.540 I'm a recruiter.
00:00:48.180 It's a small, small, small industry.
00:00:50.820 Smaller than you'd think.
00:00:51.980 Same with HR.
00:00:52.640 So, if you're looking for a job, or maybe trying to keep a job...
00:00:58.300 First of all, look at those eyes. 1.00
00:01:00.300 That is a crazy person. 1.00
00:01:02.600 That is a total nutter. 1.00
00:01:05.160 ...maybe trying to keep a job. 0.79
00:01:07.340 Maybe.
00:01:08.220 Just maybe.
00:01:10.440 Think about what you're putting on social media.
00:01:14.260 Again, freedom fighters.
00:01:19.100 I know you're not really big with stats and, you know, facts aren't your thing, you know.
00:01:25.460 But, what I can tell you, what is a fact, is that recruiters talk.
00:01:30.600 And recruiters, like the majority of Canada, don't agree with you.
00:01:35.720 Do you know what that means?
00:01:37.100 Do you have any guesses?
00:01:38.000 Any guesses what that means?
00:01:39.020 What that means, is that if you need a job, you might not get one.
00:01:43.600 If you want to keep a job, you might not get to do that.
00:01:47.500 So, again, I'm new to this TikTok app.
00:01:50.580 Can someone tell me, I'm guessing that she's got some sort of filter over her eyes? 1.00
00:01:55.340 Well, I'm actually, I'm hoping she does, because this is just absolutely freaky.
00:02:00.240 You know what else HR's good at?
00:02:03.600 Documentation.
00:02:05.320 You know what that means? 1.00
00:02:06.620 You want to be an asshole? 1.00
00:02:08.080 Oh, we document it. 1.00
00:02:09.880 We give you a couple tries.
00:02:11.300 Then what do we do? 0.97
00:02:12.240 We terminate you.
00:02:13.460 With cause. 0.94
00:02:14.540 If we're so lucky.
00:02:15.900 If not, we give you the minimum allowed by law.
00:02:20.420 Either way.
00:02:21.720 Best of luck to you.
00:02:23.740 Recruiters are watching.
00:02:24.900 HR is watching.
00:02:26.120 Everywhere. 0.99
00:02:26.920 And we hate you. 1.00
00:02:28.260 We hate you so much. 1.00
00:02:30.040 Oh, we hate you. 0.99
00:02:30.780 How nice.
00:02:31.220 And we think we can't do anything.
00:02:32.460 But we can.
00:02:33.980 We have the power.
00:02:36.340 So not only is this woman quite literally drunk, she's also drunk on her own power, or
00:02:41.020 so she thought.
00:02:41.860 Because she didn't warn us, she didn't tell us, to be careful what you put on social media.
00:02:45.800 And she also said that HR and recruiters will document what you're doing, and document what
00:02:51.220 you're posting, and they will fire you for cause if they want to.
00:02:54.560 They will ruin your life if they want to.
00:02:56.120 Well, it turns out that this woman wasn't very careful about what she posted on social
00:03:00.940 media.
00:03:01.440 It got documented, it got recorded, and it got immediately put up on Twitter.
00:03:05.060 And it went viral, of course.
00:03:06.500 And even better, her former employers distanced themselves from her on Twitter.
00:03:11.760 And the regulatory board that oversees recruiters in Ontario, the Ontario Human Rights
00:03:16.640 Professional Association, immediately also distanced themselves from this woman.
00:03:20.540 So this is what her former employer wrote on Twitter.
00:03:23.780 We are aware of the video from a former Canadian contractor about her personal views and approach
00:03:28.020 to HR, which we do not support.
00:03:30.360 She has not provided services for our family-owned company since 2019.
00:03:34.080 We do not condone this behavior as it does not represent our company values.
00:03:37.580 Now, I certainly hope it wouldn't represent your company values.
00:03:40.760 And I can't for the life of me understand why she wouldn't be a part of your company now.
00:03:44.200 She appears to be a perfectly reasonable, totally normal HR person, right?
00:03:48.940 And the Human Rights Professional Association wrote on Twitter,
00:03:53.180 HRPA is aware of this video post by one of its regulated members and does not condone or
00:03:58.040 endorse in any way the statements made about HR practice therein.
00:04:01.960 Further, HRPA is reviewing this matter to determine if there has been a breach of its
00:04:06.220 rules of professional conduct.
00:04:07.520 Well, I'm really sorry for this woman who appears may have just ruined her professional 1.00
00:04:12.420 life because she posted something on social media.
00:04:14.960 What goes around comes around, lady. 0.96
00:04:16.680 Maybe next time you should be more careful about what you post on social media.
