[SIGHS]

[SIPS]

Hey, Matt.

Got your email with the report.
Thanks so much for sending.

Question: did you CC John on that?

Uh, yes. I believe I did.

Oh, that's interesting,
'cause I'm looking

at that email right now, and you didn't.

Oh.

You BCC'd me.

Oh. Uh...

You still got the email then, right?

- I did.
- Look.

I know you're new around here,
so I just want to

make sure that you understand
the email protocol.

You always CC both John and I
on all work emails,

'cause if you BCC him,
then I can't check

to make sure that you CC'd him, hmm?

Got it.

- I made a mistake.
- Great.

Question: why did you make that mistake?

Um...

I guess I'm a little tired this morning.

- Aww, gosh.
- Uh-huh.

Why are you so tired?

I have anxiety that sometimes
keeps me up at night.

What causes this anxiety?

I guess sometimes
I feel like this can be

sort of a confrontational
work environment.

Hey, bud, Hampton DeVille encourages

aggressive confrontational criticism.

Why don't you like confrontation?

Defend your position.

Oh. Uh...

No, I mean, I think
confrontation is a good thing.

It's just sometimes confrontation

hurts my job performance

and damages my personal wellbeing.

Uh-oh; well, if you can't

manage your emotions, Matt,

what makes you think you're qualified

to manage people at this company?

Honestly, I don't know.

Oh.

I never really saw myself here.

I mean, after college,
I volunteered for a program

teaching underprivileged kids
because I wanted to help people,

but then one of the students stabbed me,

and the school was pretty dirty

and I just realized
I wasn't cut out for it.

So I moved back in with my parents,

which, I'm pretty sure
led to them getting a divorce,

because that's what
they told me happened.

Then I worked a series of jobs
that eventually landed me here,

where I'm just a cog

in a soulless corporate machine,
and I'm not...

Okay, well, just make sure that you CC

both John and I on all work emails.

It's a simple mistake,

but it's just important
to follow protocol.

Yes.

Jake, question:

why do you think it's okay

to come in to work
with your shirt untucked?

Because life is meaningless,
and nothing we do matters.

Okay, great.

- Have a great day, you two.
- Thanks, guys.

Hampton DeVille has emerged
as one of the largest,

most profitable corporations
in the world,

with over 300,000 employees
internationally,

their footprint
stretches across the globe.

Under the leadership
of their CEO Christian DeVille,

they've become market leaders
in everything

from agricultural goods
to pharmaceuticals,

from household appliances
to industrial weaponry.

You've probably heard their slogan.

Hampton DeVille: we make everything.

But now they are attempting
to muscle their way

up the highly competitive tech industry.

Today marks the launch of the Obelisk,

Hampton DeVille's touch screen tablet

which boasts a screen

eight times the size of the iPad.

But that launch may be in jeopardy

after an insensitive tweet was sent out

from Hampton DeVille's
twitter account earlier today.

As Hurricane Letisha continues
to devastate the Gulf Coast,

Hampton DeVille tweeted,

"Was your house blown away
by Hurricane Letisha?

"Pick up the Obelisk
to follow hurricane news.

You'll be blown away by the size."

In response to the offensive tweet,

the Internet is calling for
a boycott of the Obelisk.

[BLADE SHINGS]

[GRUNTS]

[METALLIC CLANG, HEAVY THUD]

[GRUNTS]

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC BUILDS DRAMATICALLY]

? ?

Do you think we're gonna
get to eat anything today?

Don't count on it.

There's a rigid food hierarchy here.

Executives get first pick,
then junior executives,

then us, the junior executives
in training.

$500 billion corporation.

and they never have enough
bagels for everyone.

Why didn't you eat breakfast
before work?

I didn't have time.

I hit the snooze button
15 times this morning,

which is a new record that
I'm actually kind of proud of.

Did you eat anything?

No.

I'm trying to watch my figure.

I want to have a hot body

'cause I'm tired of
developing my personality.

Yeah, I've been there.

Yum.

I love eclairs.

Oh, my God. This is so good.

I'm gonna take two.

Aggressive.

Confident.

I like that you're not afraid
to take what you want.

[BOTH MUNCHING AND MOANING]

Damn it. There's only two bagels left.

Whoa, have you seen this tweet
the company sent out?

The Internet is freaking out about it.

"You'll be blown away by the size"?

Jesus Christ.

We're living inside of a nightmare.

[EERIE OMINOUS MUSIC]

? ?

Why in the [Bleep]

is everyone
standing around eating bagels

while we are being crucified
on the Internet?

Spit out those bagels!
We have work to do!

[OMINOUS MUSIC CONTINUES]

? ?

[METALLIC CRASHING]

No!

Sorry.

Everyone in this room,

look to your left.

Now...

look to your right.

100% of those people

are ruining my [Bleep] day.

Look, that one over there's still good.

I'm gonna get it after the meeting.

Yeah, but there's no cream cheese.

[WHISPERS] On the wall over there.

Into developing the Obelisk,

and now its success is being threatened

by a [Bleep] tweet.

? ?

[Bleep] you.

? ?

I wish I could be more like Christian.

Why? He acts like a complete psychopath

and nobody stands up to him.

Exactly.

He fought his way to the top,

and now he gets to treat people

like they're his personal service dogs.

If I ever get to the top,
I'm gonna at least

make sure everyone gets a goddamn bagel.

Don't worry.

You'll be corrupted by power.

That's part of growing up.

I want to tell you a story.

It's about a shepherd.

One day, he lost his entire flock.

I mean, every single sheep took off

except one.

? ?

So there he is, out in the middle

of this open field with just one sheep,

and what do you think he did?

? ?

He pulled out a gun,
and he blew its brains out.

Then he went out
and got himself a real job,

because being a shepherd

pays shit.

Well, people, that ain't me.

Because we are in cattle country,

and I am Ben Cartwright,

and this is [Bleep] "Bonanza!"

[OMINOUS MUSIC CRESCENDOS]

? ?

So how bad is this?

We ran the numbers,
and more people are outraged

about the tweet than they are
about the hurricane.

Comparatively, people like the hurricane

more than they like the tweet.

Jesus Christ.

We have got to distract people
from this tweet.

So what are our options?

Can we start a different hurricane?

Have we finished building
that hurricane machine yet?

Uh...

Sir, I... [CLEARS THROAT]

I believe I speak for everyone...

Bruce?

When I say we thought you were joking

when you asked us to do that.

I would never joke about hurricanes.

That's what got us into this mess.

Does it ever bother you

that the corporation we work for
is, like, evil?

Every corporation is evil.

- At least we get health benefits.
- Yeah.

Wait. You get health benefits?

Sir,

they're turning you
into a meme on the Internet.

[EERIE OMINOUS MUSIC]

We'll see who has a small penis

once I have my hurricane machine.

And you two need to find out who
wrote that tweet and fire them.

We're on top of it, sir.

We will handle it personally.

You two need to find out

who wrote that tweet and fire them.

Thought you guys said you would do it.

Telling you to do it is doing it.

Yeah, you guys should be excited.

We want to use you as our tools
in this situation.

Yes, think of yourself as tools.

You guys are tools.

I don't know if I can fire someone.

I hate confrontation.

When I first met my brother-in-law,

he thought my name was Mark,
and I never corrected him.

So now I just don't go to
Thanksgiving anymore.

Dude, you don't get it. This is big.

Getting to fire someone

is like when a mafia don
sends you on your first hit.

- It means we're in.
- What if I don't want to do it?

Then we get whacked.

I think if I was in the mafia,

I would just be the guy

who stayed home and made spaghetti.

This is the first time
in five years of working here

that I've been given any sort of power.

And I'm going to abuse it
for all that it's worth.

Can I tell you something else?

The idea of firing someone
kind of turns me on.

- Your sexuality worries me.
- Me too.

I don't understand
the porn I'm into these days.

Jake, please don't tell me
what kind of porn you watch.

Tentacle porn?

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I've watched that.

But honestly, nowadays, my ideal porn

would just be all of my ex-girlfriends

saying sorry to me at the same time.

That already exists.
It's called apology bukaki.

Hey, Grace.

Hi, guys. What's up?

We need to know who runs the
Hampton DeVille twitter account.

- Okay.
- [KEYS CLACKING]

Looks like that would be Baron.

He's our social media "guru."

Wait. Is this about that tweet?

Yeah, John and Kate said we
have to fire whoever wrote it.

They're finally
letting you guys fire someone?

Congratulations.

Who's gonna pull the trigger?

I am.

He's just gonna watch.

[SORROWFUL OPERA MUSIC]

Look at these people.

Is everyone at this company
clinically depressed?

Everyone here is hanging by a thread.

They could snap at any moment.

These were all children once.

Happy, innocent children.

And now look at them.
How did this happen?

They're all just trying
to fill the void.

The void?

You know,

the emptiness
that exists inside all of us.

Oh, right. Of course.

[SORROWFUL OPERA MUSIC CONTINUES]

The void.

? ?

Watch this.

I'm gonna take this guy out.

? ?

[KEYS CLACKING]

Hey, Baron.

Listen up.

We know you wrote that tweet.

You're a bad employee,
an even worse person,

and even bigger loser.

Your only job is to tweet,

yet you still managed
to ruin the reputation

of the entire company, so guess what.

You're fired.

[SCOFFS]

What's your name?

Jake Levinson.

You know what's cool about
the Internet, Jake Levinson?

It keeps a record of
pretty much everything

you ever say or do.

For example, I just found this video

of the punk band
you sang for in college.

Oh, no.

? Don't get a job,
fight the government ?

? Steal from the rich,
punch the president ?

And what's your name?

I'm not going to tell you,
because I never figured out

how to deactivate my LiveJournal
from high school.

Listen up, you spineless yuppies!

I [Bleep] own the Internet.

You remember that, uh,
Egyptian revolution in 2011?

I started that shit
with a single hashtag.

I can't point Egypt out on a map,

but I toppled a dictatorship
that ruled for decades

because I was bored.

So don't come in here

pretending like you're in control of me.

[Bleep] you, Mom!

I'm a social media guru.

And you will bow down before me.

Also I didn't tweet it.

It was Richard.

I will not be a slave
to the corporate system.

[MIC THUDS, FEEDBACK SQUEALS]

Hi, Richard, I'm Matt. This is Jake.

We're junior executives in training.

Whoa, executives?

That's cool.

Yes, it is cool.

So, Richard, we understand
you're in charge

of the Hampton DeVille twitter account.

Yep. I get paid to tweet all day.

My job's awesome.

So then you tweeted
the blown away tweet.

Yeah, it seems like people
are really upset about it,

but I think it's really clever,
'cause, see, like,

people were blown away
by Hurricane Letisha,

and I said, "blown away by the size."

It's a pun.

People just don't get it.

No, I think everyone got it.

Speaking of getting it,

you might want to bite down
on that fork,

because what I'm
about to say is gonna hurt.

Hold on a second.

Where are you getting
all of that cake from?

Oh, you guys want to see something cool?

I don't know if you're interested,

but I keep track of
all the cakes in the building.

Today's a big one: 19 cakes.

We can hit 'em all,
but we gotta move fast.

You guys hungry?

[ROUSING ROCK MUSIC]

First, we'll hit
Ron's 53rd birthday, floor 67.

Congrats! Come on in.

This is Jake and Matt.
We're here for some cake.

Mmm!

Then Tina's baby shower.

So who's the father?
Do you know who the father is?

Then Bill Peterson's successful

gastric bypass surgery, floor 11.

I love your hair. You look fantastic.

[ROUSING ROCK MUSIC CONTINUES]

? ?

Oh, my God, this is the best
thing I've ever tasted.

Just a few more parties,
then we have to fire him.

? ?

Colin, Michael, Jessica, Erin.

Jessica, Erin, Colleen...

You're not Colleen, obviously.
You're a man.

? ?

[LAUGHTER]

[SMOOCHES]

Happy [Bleep] birthday!

- Whoo!
- Richard's great.

This company would be better
if more people were like him.

He's just filling his void with sugar.

He clearly has an eating disorder.

Let's do shots.

? ?

[ALL GROANING]

[BOTH CHANTING "RICHARD!"]

[ROUSING ROCK MUSIC CONTINUES]

I love you, Richard.

I love this guy.

[LAUGHS ECSTATICALLY]

I know we work for a big corporation,

but it's not that bad.

The people here are great.

Feels like a family.

- And we got health benefits.
- Yeah.

Wait, you get health benefits?

So where are we going next?

Next we're gonna go to the bathroom,

because I have to throw up.

[ROCK MUSIC ENDS ABRUPTLY]

[DOOR CLICKS SHUT]

God, I feel like garbage.

I can't party the way I used to.

Matt. Jake.

The fact that you're sitting
around covered in cake frosting

means you must have found the person

responsible for that tweet
and fired them.

So, who was it?

Well, uh, we have some great news.

We found the guy
responsible for the tweet,

and he's a great guy.

We totally lectured him about

how it's bad that he did that,

so now he knows not to do it again.

And anyway, we like him a lot,
and we think he's a total pro.

Phew! Let me tell you something.

Best thing about cake,

it tastes just as good coming back up.

Oh, I should tweet that.

Oh! Hi, I'm Richard.

Hey, Richard. We're executives.

Wow. More executives.

This is cool.

Yes, it is cool.

Question: did you write that
blown away tweet?

Yeah. That was me.

- Whoops.
- Okay, great.

You're fired.

Please report to HR immediately.

What?

And you two, question.

How could you do this to us?

We used you as our tools,

and this is how you repay us?

We'll deal with you later.

But in the meantime,

I suggest you start
working on your r�sum�s.

This is company property.

Well, that's it. We're dead.

So, wait.

You guys knew I was getting fired,

and you used me to get cake?

No, Richard, it's not like that.

If it were up to us,
you'd get to keep your job.

Yeah, but it's not up to you.

You guys are just tools.

Exactly. We're tools.

So [Bleep] you.

[Bleep] all of you!

You're all just corporate drones!

[Bleep] Hampton DeVille!

[Bleep] the Internet!

And [Bleep] birthdays!

[Bleep] your meeting!

[Bleep] you, Angela!

Do you think Richard's okay?

How can you think about other
people at a time like this?

[SORROWFUL OPERA MUSIC]

? ?

[SIGHS]

Maybe getting fired is a good thing.

I could finally pursue my dream

of starting my own craft brewery.

Or just go to law school.

Applying to law school in your late 20s

is a major sign of depression.

- What are you gonna do?
- I don't know.

Working here was my plan B,
and now I'm getting fired,

so I guess it's time for plan C.

Suicide?

Yes. You already knew.

That's why we're friends.

Hey, guys, did you fire Richard?

'Cause he never showed up to HR.

There is an Internet campaign

to boycott all Hampton DeVille products

unless you apologize for the tweet.

Will you apologize?

Look, I refuse to negotiate
with the Internet.

That tweet was the act
of one rogue employee.

And I would like to state for the record

that I love hurricane victims,

and anyone who knows me can verify...

Excuse me, Christian, I'm
gonna have to interrupt you.

We're getting a breaking tweet.

[DRAMATIC MUSICAL FLOURISH]

A new tweet has been issued
from Hampton DeVille...

Ugh, Richard's not here.

"My name is Richard.

"I wrote the blown away tweet,
got fired,

"and now I'm going to kill myself

by being blown away off of a building."

Oh, my God,
Richard's gonna kill himself.

He stole my idea.

Jake, we have to help him.

Ugh. Fine.

Richard, question.

Why are you doing this?

Because I don't have any friends!

So I go to birthday parties of
people I don't even know

and binge eat to try to fill

the bottomless void
of loneliness inside me.

- [FEEDBACK SQUEALS]
- Okay!

Great.

Thanks.

Thanks for agreeing to help us, Baron.

I'm not doing this for you, assholes.

I'm doing this for Richard,

because he gives me cake.

So really I'm doing it for me.

So here's what I think you should tweet.

Stop.

You wouldn't tell Shakespeare
how to write a sonnet,

and you don't tell a social media guru

how to get a hashtag trending, okay?

So step back.

[STIRRING OPERA MUSIC]

? ?

[IN SLO-MO] It's beautiful.

[TRIUMPHANT OPERA MUSIC]

? ?

It's in the Internet's hands now.

Richard, I know
where you're coming from.

I was wait-listed at Yale.

But then I got in.

We have a plan. Let us talk to Richard.

Give us a chance to prove
that we can be your tools.

That's actually a really good idea.

When he jumps,
we'll just pin the blame on you.

- [FEEDBACK SQUEALS]
- Richard, don't do this.

Yeah, Richard, don't jump or whatever.

Just stay back!

I'm gonna kill myself.

Richard, we all want to kill ourselves.

But you can't.

Because the Internet cares about you.

The top trending hashtag
on twitter right now

is "Save Richard."

Really?

It's actually second under hashtag

"You know you're single when."

- Shut up.
- [FEEDBACK SQUEALS]

Richard, all across the world,

millions of faceless, nameless strangers

who will forget about you
tomorrow want you to live.

They care about you, Richard.

Also we brought cake.

What kind of cake?

Richard, shut up and come down!

Okay!

I'm coming down!

Holy shit.

Someone finally listened to me.

And then I personally stepped in

and saved one of our most
valued employees, Richard,

who I'm happy to welcome back
to the Hampton DeVille family.

And as a gesture of sympathy
for the victims

of Hurricane Letisha,
who we love dearly,

we will be offering 10% off the Obelisk

to anyone who can prove

their home was destroyed
in the hurricane.

Good news.

We just got word that this controversy

increased brand awareness

and boosted sales of the Obelisk by 4%.

Great job, you two.

Well, Matt, you did it.
You saved Richard.

I didn't save him.

All I did was tell Baron to do it.

Matt, telling Baron to do it
was doing it.

Oh, my God.

You're right.

We saved Richard.

Wait about a week for this to blow over

and fire Richard again.

I don't want that cake feaster
working here.

[EERIE OMINOUS MUSIC SWELLS]

[SIGHS]

I'm sorry.

It's my fault we broke up, not yours.

You're a great guy.

Everyone likes you.

I made a mistake by leaving you.

[CHORUS OF MOANING AND WHIPS CRACKING]

- I'm sorry.
- I'm so sorry.

Oh, I'm sorry.

[ROCK MUSIC]

[BOTH SIP]

[CHORUS OF WOMEN SAYING "I'M SORRY"]

[ROCK MUSIC]

Can you give us a sense of
what the people

in the path of the hurricane
are feeling right now?

Karen, it is absolute mayhem down here.

Everyone is really upset about
Hampton DeVille's tweet.

It's all anyone can talk about.
