Everything, Adam.

Now you will pay.

Don't do that, Benny!

I get hurt easy!

Don't do that, Benny! What if the
dart hit my good eye?

Where are the darts ?!

You are right, Adam.

I am a bad boss!

It's true!

I act like I care.

But it's all a trick ...

to make money
for my company ...

At the expense of employees.

What more could I do?

I have bosses too.

What if my team doesn't make a profit

I'm fired!

Calm calm.
Come on.

You can solve this and still
make money for your company.

Remember Henry Ford?
Remember?

He was wrong about a lot of things,
but he was right about that.

Pay fair wages to people and give
to them time to spend those wages

lead to a more prosperous nation.

This is so true
today as it was in 1926.

Also, the Jewish conspiracy ...

No! Enough.
Out, out, out.

Great.

All that youhave to remember

� does your business profit when
the staff are well treated.

Look here. Remember
Bob and Ryan?

My opinion as CEO is that we have
We take care first of our team.

Treat people well is the best
way of doing business.

And pay low wages to
employees and overload them

It's bad for capitalism as a whole.

Because if people don't have time
or money to buy things

the economy would collapse.

The only way to builda strong and stable economy

� ensure that the worker
have money and free time.

Well done, Bob.

TOUCH HERE

You mean if I
treat my employees well,

I will earn more
long-term?

Yes, and I know that
change is difficult,

but that's what you get
boss salary, right?

Talvez ... Maybe I can
squeeze some money.

Pay something
for the interns.

And maybe hire Eric
in full time. 659

And in the summer, on Friday afternoons,
Everybody gets time off.

Call me an earthquake.
Because I came to shake everything!

Now we are talking.

If you do all this ...

I will be one
Nice boss.

Hashtag great boss.

So, Mr. Harris

You want us to start
to pay the interns,

increase the power of
officials in the negotiations

and release all
Employees on Fridays?

Yes. Because, you see ...
671 00:20:47,500 --> 00:20:50,600

No.

However, let's meet
your request for new darts.

That!

We did it!

Changes lead
time, Adam.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.
