[0:01]Training Sideways presents The Appraisal Mr. Mishra Akshay Shalini Kavitha Mr. Venkat
[0:25]No way, I was just being polite. I am not guilty.
[0:33]I felt bad. No, that was meant to be a joke. No, no, no. It was just a compliment. Let's start from the beginning and see what happened.
[0:49]One sec...
[0:53]Thank you, thanks. Good morning. Morning, Mishra ji. Second floor? Ah, no, fourth actually.
[1:02]Did you also get stuck in the park traffic? No, I live next street. I ride a scooter. Very convenient. By the way, you're looking very nice. Oh, thank you, sir.
[1:17]Acha... Acha... Appraisal meeting?
[1:23]Don't worry, you'll get it... you'll get it. Excuse me.
[1:35]Good morning, Shalini. What happened? Don't even ask, yaar... You know that Mishra ji? He thought that I'm dressed like this just to impress the boss. Can you believe that? Men, no! Hey, listen. Is our boss in? I need to ask for leave next weekend. Leave? In the middle of appraisals? Wait, what's your excuse? Are you pregnant? Oh! No! Wait, wait, wait. You can use your Madrasi bonding and ask him. Of course, he'll give you leave. Go, go, go... Go ask him. Okay, I see him... I'll go.
[2:15]Guuyyss! Kavitha is gonna ask boss for leave next week. Wish her luck :) :) Is she MAD. Is she MAD-rasi !!! Treat Venkat to vada! Enna da Mad-Rascalas.
[2:27]Hello. Give Boss Bonda!
[2:32]Ha, Kavitha... Two minutes. Shama, you should have been in the show yesterday, you missed an amazing show ya. He was so good. Hey Ashwin! How was the show yesterday da? See... It was a brilliant show. Hello, Young Achiever of the Year! Morning, sir. Morning... what's up? Coffee? Break already, ya? Evening... 7 PM... Con-call. Sure, sir... I'll login from home. No... Office.
[3:02]Sure, sir.
[3:05]Tea break, coffee break... I don't know why it bothers him where I work from. Mishra Ji. Sir... Arre, arre. Batiye, batiye. You don't have to. By the way, the project that was in the pipeline, we got it! Congratulations. Thank you, sir. In fact, I was talking to Pooja about how the client loved your presentation and he is very happy with it. We'll be going forward. But, there's a small problem. The client wants to run the production in two locations simultaneously, which will involve a lot of travelling. I know, I know. Which is exactly why I asked Pooja to take the lead. So, you can relax.
[3:46]Hmm. So now what do you say? Arre, I was just showing empathy considering he is disabled. Ah... you mean differently abled. Yeah, yeah... That's what. But boss here was mean to me. It's not as if you're perfect, Akshay. You judged me because of my disability! Excuse me? Look who's talking... You judged me just because of the dress I'm wearing! Women don't dress just to impress people, by the way. By the way, you keep saying I get perks because I'm from Madras. That's also not cool. No, no... That was a joke, yaar. But you know I was meaning it as a joke. But you keep saying it every time!
[4:25]Stop! It's all of you. You're all guilty of Unconscious Bias. Judging people based on stereotypes which you're not even aware of. What bias? UNCONSCIOUS BIAS. Judging people based on stereotypes which you're not even aware of. Like, assuming that Shalini was well dressed only for a better appraisal. Now, that's a bias, Mr. Mishra. By the way, you're looking very nice today! Oh! Thank you, sir! Thank you.
[5:01]You should have been more self-aware. And you thinking that Kavitha uses her regional connect to pull favours. No... That was meant to be a joke. You could have showed more empathy. In the middle of appraisals? Wait... what's your excuse? Are you pregnant?! Hey...
[5:25]And Akshay, you could have asked for a second opinion. But, there's a small problem. The client wants to run the production in two locations simultaneously. Which will involve... Will that be an issue? No problem, sir! I can shuttle between the two locations. Thank you for asking. Alright then! All the best! Thank you, sir! Thank you. I got it, I... I got it. I'm guilty of unconscious bias. I assumed young people take a lot of breaks and don't take work seriously. Guys... Can we go for a coffee break? Coffee break?
