Rowan please take a seat
Now its unfortunate that its had to come to this
But the 3 of us have had to organise a mediation session
So we have a safe environment to talk about the workplace here at Playtech
You'll definitely be getting a pay cut for this
To be honest Rowan, what you just said is precisely why we've been forced to get outside mediation
Okay 2 pay cuts incoming
No but Rowan you can't just give pay cuts to people who disagree with you
Three for three, Rowan wins
Regardless Rowan, we have the mediator coming along now
He's from Common Grounds Services
And he hould be here any moment
That'll be him
Whatever
NO!
Yes
NOOOO!
Uhh... yes
Uhh guys, hi
My name's Ben
B
E
N
And I'm from Common Grounds Services
I understand that theres a bit of tension in the air between management and the employees
and MY job today is to make sure that everyone has their say
and more importantly
that everyone's heard
This literally doesn't make any sense, how did you get this job?
Right, okay, so..
Alan
I'm sensing from you a lot of anger towards people in power
and thats something we will circle back to
but how about you kick us off today by starting off by telling us how you feel about Rowans management style
Okay screw it.. this is happening
Okay sure where to start..
Uhmmm..
Uhh the other day Rowan gave me a pay cut for writing down a number on a personal call
Ooh okay..
Well Rowan that does sound unreasonable
Yeah exactly it was on my break and I was writing down an electricans phone number
It was nothing
That does sound unreasonable.. so...
Rowan
Why don't you tell me, whats wrong with an employee writing down a phone number, using their own pen on break time?
Uh just one wee clarification here
Sorry was that your own pen that you wrote that personal note with?
Or was it a company pen?
Uh damn it..
I mean technically it was a Playtech pen that was just sitting there..
Ooh
Okay things are a little different than I realised...
So... you were thieving? You're a thief.
A stealer.
No I was literally just writing a number down
Yes but you were using company ink
and I'm just gonna go out on a limb and assume here that that was probably company paper?
Actually thats a very good point
This is insane... this is insane
Well Alan
I mean if you're gonna do that, whats to stop you from just reaching into the Playtech till and taking all the money?
Exactly!
Or heading into the stockroom and stealing all the stock?
I mean why don't we just give you the keys to Playtech Alan!?
WHY DON'T WE GIVE YOU THE KEYS TO THE WHOLE WORLD MATE!?
This is ridiculous!
There has to be some sort of law that protects me here!
Guys people write down notes using company pens all the time!
It's a thing! It's a thing that happens!!
Guys back me up here, back me up
Just before you answer guys...
I just want to make it crystal clear
That Alan will be getting a 50% pay cut for this theft
Yeah that's fair, in fact that's industry standard
Adam
I have never and would never use a company pen to write down a personal note
In fact I think its unethical
Absolutely Adam
The thought of it actually sickens me
Its shameful
Pay rise, pay rise
Exactly
Okay and that...
brings us to the end of our mediation today
I truly hope that I have done my job
and that we all feel heard, we all feel safe, and hey, we all feel a little bit lighter today
Thank you very much guys - Thank you so much
Thank you
Thank you - Thank you
Alan
You want to meet me halfway mate?
Typical
That is typical
The three of us have had to organise a mediation session so we have a safe environment to talk about the workplace here at Playtech
You'll definitely be getting a paygrhughghh
Thats a wrap is it? That's a wrap
I reckon thats it
Thats a wrap on Rowan everybody
Thank you
