Burnie: Hello everyone, so if you're watching this video
on the Rooster Teeth front page or if you're watching it
on your YouTube channel, this is a video
a lot unlike any other video that we make
'cause we don't do a lot of vlogging content.
But, one of the coolest things I got to do in 2016
was we started a vlog for our FIRST members
and it quickly became one of the most popular features on the platform.
I had a blast making it
and someone just pointed out to me very recently
is that January 28th is Chinese New Year.
And, the coming year is the year of the rooster.
And I thought "if I want to do something fun to celebrate
the year of the rooster, why don't I take the vlog
and make it available to everyone publicly
and then produce it also on a more regular basis?"
And so what I like to do on the vlog is to give everybody
a behind-the-scenes look at what's going on at Rooster Teeth,
but do that by taking you along on the journey that
you all have made possible.
And so I asked the FIRST members - I said:
"hey, if we're going to show one vlog,
ONE,
to everyone else in the audience, what's the one vlog
we've made so far that you would like them to see?"
And they said "the one that has the plane!"
No, they almost unanimously said "The Monday Vlog",
which is a great one because it takes you through a
typical Monday at Rooster Teeth Productions,
'shows you what everybody does.
So, the vlog you're about to see
was released in October of 2016, and aside from
maybe like, one or two tweaks here and there,
it's exactly the same as when we aired it.
Enjoy it
and I'll see you next week.
Past Burnie: Okay, well it is Monday morning in Austin,
Texas, I'm not sure about you guys-
-hey Marcus!
But, Monday morning is the first morning of the
work week for us in Texas.
Might be different where you live but I really doubt it
and Monday at Rooster Teeth is a day
that starts a little bit later than most
Look what that is!
♪ It's Megan!! ♪
Monday is a day that starts later than most at Rooster Teeth
because this is our longest day of the week.
Um, some of our people are here all the way 'til midnight
on Mondays so as a result, the work day doesn't start
until ten o'clock.
And the reason why we stay so late is because of the
Podcast on Monday.
Some of us, myself included, will be here until
just before midnight.
And I thought it'd be fun to take you all
through a typical Monday at Rooster Teeth Productions.
So this, is Monday.
Let's do this.
*door lock sensor dings*
One of the most important things about Monday is coffee.
*Max nods*
We actually have a really cool coffee maker, right Max?
Max: It is the best. Burnie: And I mean, we used to have a coffee pot,
but then we actually went up to -
- doot! -
want to number three that's the one man
we can pick between different op-eds
3212 decap nobody understands what the
hell we have decaf coffee three right
here
grinding actually join i'm showing the
mezzanotte cuvee delicious and it's
affordable so we have the managers
meeting at about noon
typically we have two meetings before
that then at about one o'clock 130 we
have the all hands meeting is held right
here that everybody was going on what's
happening at the company what happened
last week some big things that we did
some things that are coming up and then
everyone goes through all the different
departments and says we're going to be
doing for the next week there's so many
people at the company that was very few
lot of loose sometimes especially people
who don't work in the office so we only
make an effort to make sure everybody
knows what everybody else is doing
we have all video treat set up to the
people from all the remote off dallas
and in LA
even people in Chicago when you're 50
people roughly right now monday we also
get lunch for everybody because of the
big all hands meeting you always tell
the hungries people because they're
hanging out right here half an hour
beforehand Department 45 minutes starts
procedures at math
hey my lunch I'm going to the management
meeting which is a meeting of all the
department heads in a secret black room
that's the biker right there
everyone seems superficially everything
so there's manager meeting takes place
about noon on monday we go over all the
different apartments everyone at the
company getting so big we need a chance
for all the department heads to get
together talk about everybody else about
what they're doing and so that's what
the manager meeting is monday heading
into stage five to go to the all hands
meeting that's run by Matt Matt takes
all the keynotes that we talked about
and manage meeting and tell everybody
the company to everybody can be on the
same page 240 people so it's important
we are moving in the same direction
