"Hey, folks. Excuse me."
American Auto
"I don't wanna interrupt anyone's work,"
American Auto
"but Jin just told me that he'll be leaving Payne,"
American Auto
"and he asked to share just a few quick, quick words."
American Auto
"- Hello, all. I'm Jin. - Yeah."
American Auto
"They know that. They know that."
American Auto
"Payne's Chief Financial Officer."
American Auto
"It was 40 years ago that I started"
American Auto
"my first job in finance. - Mm."

"Great. Well, we can probably"
American Auto
"fast forward through a couple decades."
American Auto
"When my parents immigrated to this country,"
American Auto
"they used to have me"
American Auto
"do the bookkeeping for their store."
American Auto
"So from early on, I learned to work with family."
American Auto
"And I still do because you are all my family too."
American Auto
"all: Aw!"
American Auto
"But now I'm leaving my job family"
American Auto
"to spend more time with my non-job family."
American Auto
"By which I mean my actual family who I'm related to."

"[chorus vocalizing]"
American Auto
"I call dibs on his corner office."
American Auto
"Oh, if you move into his office, maybe I can take yours."
American Auto
"Oh, so you want to move into the office that just so happens"
American Auto
"to be right next door to Sadie's office?"
American Auto
"That's just where his office his is."
American Auto
"Ooh, I bet they're gonna knock on the wall like once"
American Auto
"for "I love you," twice for "I miss you.""
American Auto
"Yeah, or like,"
American Auto
"maybe there's like a crack in the wall."
American Auto
"Oh, exactly, and he's gonna like,"
American Auto
""Oh, Sadie, back up against the crack in the wall.""
American Auto
"Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh. Like this, Jack?"
American Auto
"- Oh. Oh, just like that. - Oh, my God."
American Auto
"No, I just meant like a crack they talk through"
American Auto
"like--like Pyramus and Thisbe."
American Auto
"I'm not sure that this is the audience"
American Auto
"or high-brow Greek mythology references."
American Auto
"- Sadie, it feels so good. - It does, it does."
American Auto
"- It feels so good. - Ooh!"
American Auto
"So how do you want to handle"
American Auto
"the press release about Jin leaving?"
American Auto
"Ah, I don't know."
American Auto
""Jin is leaving. How will we go on?"
American Auto
""He'll always live within our hearts"
American Auto
"and in the sound of every baby's laughter.""
American Auto
"You know, standard boilerplate."
American Auto
"We--we just want to make sure it doesn't look to Wall Street"
American Auto
"or the board that people are jumping ship here."
American Auto
"- It's one guy. - It's not, though."
American Auto
"Our rate of attrition has gone up, actually, ever since, um..."
American Auto
"- Ever since? - Ever since you started."
American Auto
"We also lost three members of upper management last quarter."
American Auto
"How much more is that than average?"
American Auto
"It's about three-- three more than average."
American Auto
"- Oh, that's a lot. - Mm-hmm."
American Auto
"Oh, Sadie. I've never tried this before, but I trust you."
American Auto
"Like watching myself in the mirror."
American Auto
"- What's going on? - Oh, Elliot was joking"
American Auto
"about Jack and Sadie [bleep] through a gloryhole."
American Auto
"- Wha-- - Seriously?"
American Auto
"That's not even close to being true."
American Auto
"Look, I'm not a prude. I kinda want to hear the joke."
American Auto
"But let's not do that kind of stuff in front of--"
American Auto
"maybe that's why so many people"
American Auto
"around here lately have been quitting."
American Auto
"No one's quitting their job over an awesome sex joke."
American Auto
"What is it then? Have people been complaining about me?"
American Auto
"Not to me. Certainly."
American Auto
"But you know, everyone around here knows that I--"
American Auto
"you know, I'm true blue Team Katherine."
American Auto
"- Ugh! - Get your hand out of her ass."
American Auto
"Look, I don't take it personally."
American Auto
"I just need to know what the issues are so I can fix them."
American Auto
"We could send out employee surveys."
American Auto
"No one's ever really honest in those."
American Auto
"They assume they're not anonymous."
American Auto
"- Well, are they? - Oh, no, they're not."
American Auto
"We could read employee emails,"
American Auto
"see what they're saying about us behind our backs."
American Auto
"Wait, can we do that?"
American Auto
"Read employee emails on an employee server?"
American Auto
"- Yeah. - Yeah, absolutely."
American Auto
"We can do that. - Great."
American Auto
"Some boundaries are there for a reason."
American Auto
"No, no, just to be clear, I'm not gonna read"
American Auto
"any of your emails, okay?"
American Auto
"You can all be exempt. - Oh."
American Auto
"Rules were meant to be broken."
American Auto
"Let's log on right now."
American Auto
"Okay, nice principles, everybody."
American Auto
"Jack, you go with Elliot."
American Auto
"Each of you should check on the other."
American Auto
"And no reading any of our emails, all right?"
American Auto
"Sadie, talk to Jin."
American Auto
"See if you can stop him from leaving."
American Auto
"Oh, wouldn't that be more convincing coming from you?"
American Auto
"Oh, no, he's pretty intimidated by strong women."
American Auto
"I think it'd be better coming from you."
American Auto
"That's nice."
American Auto
"So the admin search bar is here."
American Auto
"And if you want to search for two things,"
American Auto
"you can use the "and" function."
American Auto
"Oh, yes, the Boolean operators."
American Auto
"Yeah, I know a little bit about computers."
American Auto
"I built the website for my wedding."
American Auto
"Yeah, we're divorced now, but um, you know,"
American Auto
"the website's still up."
American Auto
"So what do we search for?"
American Auto
"I mean, people don't write things like "my morale is low.""
American Auto
"We could search for "Hate my life."
American Auto
""Hate my job. Hate this place. This place sucks [bleep]."
American Auto
""My boss sucks [bleep]. My boss sucks my [bleep]."
