Hello.
Are you okay?
Yes.
Do you need anything? I don't know...
No.
Everything's fine.
Good morning, Silvia.
Look, this survey is part of the inspection and is totally anonymous.
The information will be confidential.
Alright?
Fine.
Basically, you have to answer by choosing
only one of these three options for each of the questions.
Alright?
Never, occasionally, or often.
Let's begin.
Have they made negative comments regarding your intelligence or competence?
Occasionally.
Have they scolded or belittled you in front of others?
Occasionally.
Mmm.
Have they ignored your contributions?
Occasionally.
Have they shown little empathy or compassion when you've had a hard time?
Often.
Have they called or messaged you outside of working hours?
Often.
Do they usually pressure you?
By imposing unreasonable deadlines to complete tasks, or...
Often.
Have they interrupted you while speaking?
Often.
Have they treated you in a... let's say... rude way,
showing a lack of respect?
Often.
Mmm.
Has anyone taken credit for your work?
Mmm.
Often.
Do you feel you haven't been praised when you deserved it?
Often.
Mmm.
Silvia, take it easy, really.
Take your time.
May I?
Of course.
Are you okay?
We're almost done.
Shall we continue?
Alright.
Have they stopped talking to you when you've made a mistake?
Often.
Have they failed to congratulate you when you've done something well or...
had a success?
Often.
Look, Silvia...
I only have one last question.
Do they respect your breaks?
Never.
The rest
What sons of bitches!
how they fired that guy who had been working here for ten years.
For low performance.
And they're firing more people.
They say there are going to be quite a few layoffs.
Anyone could be next here, eh.
I swear I've even been thinking...
Even about how much my severance pay would be.
I've been working here for fifteen years now.
I don't know.
Maybe it would be enough to hold me over for a while.
Until I find something better.
I swear, just thinking...
about how every morning I have to come work here...
it gives me a knot in my stomach.
What about taking sick leave?
I'm scared.
What if they fire me for low performance?
Or worse.
They put me on a blacklist.
It's power, Juan.
The doctrine of shock.
They have resources, they have lawyers...
And what do we have?
A signed contract and a lot of anxiety.
They are always going to win.
I'm sure that if I fainted right here...
they wouldn't give a shit.
they'd only look to see what work I have left to do.
And you know why?
it's because of the idea of sacrifice they've sold us.
The worst part of all this...
is that I've normalized feeling bad, being treated badly.
I don't know, I kind of thought that...
that it was part of being a professional.
Do you want another coffee?
No way!
I don't have time.
I have to go back.
Look!
She is complaining too.
Makes sense.
We're exploiting her too.
Hi, I'm Laura Martínez, the girl from...
Hi, Laura.
Looking at your resume, Laura, I see that you just finished university.
Why are you interested in this internship?
Well... uh... for me it's very important...
to keep...
growing... learning... and...
developing professionally.
And also, if I may...
for me it would be a huge...
honor...
to work for your brand.
I admire it very much.
Perfect.
You know that here we value initiative and the ability to adapt quickly.
Would you be willing to work extra hours if necessary?
Yes, of course, uh...
I want to give my all and learn everything I can.
so... of course.
Well, that's what we expect from you.
There's no time to learn slowly here.
You already know that we need results from day one.
Yes, of course.
You know the position is unpaid...
however...
there's a small stipend for transport.
that's not a problem for you, is it?
No.
No, uh...
I'm aware that...
I need to... uh...
gain experience in the field, so...
of course not...
Exactly!
I see you understand.
Experience is the most valuable thing.
more than money.
You'll see, I'm sure you'll adapt well to the job.
Do you have any personal commitments that might interfere with your schedule?
Here we sometimes work late...
even on weekends.
No.
I don't have any problem with that.
Okay.
Here we value those who are willing to sacrifice for the team.
If you want to stand out...
you have to show us that your commitment comes before everything else.
Of course.
Do you have plans to start a family in the future?
uh...
No, no.
Right now...
I'm very young...
No.
Perfect.
And that look you're wearing, is it...
for comfort or for aesthetics?
Are you referring to my hair?
No, in general.
Well... yes... uh
For comfort, I suppose?
I don't know, I like to look... good.
Okay, that's fine... yes, that's fine.
Well, I think you're ready.
Are you ready, Laura?
I'm ready.
Did you hear? That González...
they say they're sending him to external consulting.
it's like the polite way to tell him to get the hell out.
I saw him this morning...
he had this look...
like, "I'm nobody here."
they don't want me here and they don't need me...
more than a goodbye, it felt like a funeral.
imagine, you've been fourteen, I don't know if he's been fourteen or fifteen years with the company...
and they... nothing... they just dispatch you.
The place is cool, right?
It's... it's interesting.
It's like 70s, right? 60s, 70s...
like that Pin Up vibe, right? They call it Pin Up, right? Is that it?
No, it's good, it's good... and it's close to work and all...
takes no time at all and...
plus with those meal vouchers... well, how are those vouchers they give you?...
that...
come on... it costs next to nothing.
one-fifty I think for the ham one.
They're taste good...
The ham one, this one is pretty tasty, I don't know if you've tried it but...
Have you tried it?
We could die in here...
and no one would notice.
The real problem...
is that you ask too many questions.
Hey, if you want mor...
we'll take the break tomorrow at the same time.
And meet here too?
and keep pretending for a little while longer that...
I need it...
Ana, where are you?
We're waiting for you in Room B.
I need those documents I asked for now!
(sighs)
(exhales)
Six hours to sleep
if the anti-anxiety pill works.
nine hours here...
two more on the way.
one to eat whatever I can.
Only four free weekends a year.
Hello, we need the work finished as soon as possible.
Proforma.
Balance sheet.
Budget...
tax exempt.
and the quarterly terror.
(sighs)
Hello, I'm writing to find out when the invoice will be paid.
I sent it four months ago.
Dear Julian, regarding your payment request...
at this moment we are exploring...
other planes of supra-terrestrial existence...
We're on holiday!
And I start adding it up and I say...
Okay, and where am I?
Where the fuck am I?
At what point did my life stop being mine?
and turned into an Excel sheet.
I'm a quota on legs.
I don't want to be an entrepreneur!
I just want to be left to work!
(sighs)
Hello!
Good morning!
Sorry to call you here, but all the offices are very busy today.
Marta...its correct?
Good!
As you know, we've finished reviewing the quarterly reports and...
and after analyzing the store's operational structure,
management has considered it necessary to rescind...
your contract and eliminate your position.
What?
I understand this isn't pleasant, but the same criteria has been applied to all staff.
It's a mandatory restructuring that
is aligned with next year's strategic objectives.
It's nothing personal.
But... look, is it because of something I...
did?
I've always come to work.
I've never failed the company...
I've even come to work sick.
and even if the conditions weren't...
which, by the way, you should fix the...
Listen...
I can't start from scratch now.
Not right now!
Look, your commitment is not in question...
simply maintaining your position is no longer necessary
within the new task distribution model.
But wait... where am I going to find a job now, eh?
Do you know what it's like out there?
That's all I can tell you.
The legal department has already started the process
and the formal notification will be sent to you today.
From there, your severance rights are activated
and the notice period...
But look, this isn't just a job for me, do you understand?
My whole life depends on this job!
Marta, that's all I can tell you.
This is not due to personal circumstances.
it's the protocol.
an administrator can help you manage all the documentation...
if you need it...
Look, please! I'm begging you to reconsider your...
your decision, I... I...
I'm fifty-five years old already!
Do you understand? Who is going to hire me out there?
Who?
I truly regret it, but...
it's all I can tell you.
You have two weeks to prepare the transition of your tasks and...
and after that period, the company will consider ended
your contractual relationship.
So...
after a whole lifetime...
dedicated to the company...
I'm just that, right?
A piece of paper... to be signed.
A quick photo?
And for her...
-No -Yes, yes, yes.
Thank you very much.
I need you to close everything before you leave.
That said, remember there are procedures.
You have to leave the reason in writing and signed.
Do you know what's the cruelest thing they've said to me out there while working here?
I don't know, you tell me.
That I shouldn't complain.
that at least I have a paycheck.
Well, you're the one who wants to quit, so...
they're right, I don't understand what you're complaining about.
No, I'm not complaining.
Then?
Look, in my day, neither stress nor anxiety existed...
nor all that shit they've invented now.
It was called tiredness and do you know how it was cured?
By sleeping...
We've given you opportunities here...
You're leaving because you want to.
I'm leaving because I want to.
I want to rest.
Yes?
Alright!
Bye!
Yes?
