I remember our boss passed out a blank form asking what "he" could do to make things better for us. We pretty much all wrote "better pay, better hours, not constantly running out of necessities, holiday during christmas season." He bought us a basic coffee machine in the staff room that nobody used. Thanks boss, great to hear you really listened, time to brush up on my job applications.
Not that I agree with what your boss did, but those are also very counterproductive suggestions. Good bosses should want to find out what they can do to make things better for the employees, but they are looking for things that don't hurt the profitability of the company. Your pay, your hours and your vacations are typically integral to the business' profitability. Taking hours as an example, more productive suggestions are things like "Better communication and agency about decisions where my hours are changed, more predictability in what hours I have to work, being able to influence who I work with on my shift. As a result I suggest we make an online shedule where we have written who will work when for the next month, if hours could be changed we should have a meeting about it with everyone, and we should make a small form where we hand in who we want to work with." I think most people will find that if you actually provide some initiative and provide concrete productive suggestions instead of just using every opportunity to talk about less mutable things like wages and number of hours and vacation days you will actually get things done. Much more rarely will bosses fight against positive initiatives that do not cost the company much money (especially recurrent expenses). You were all just shooting yourself in the foot by not being cooperative in your example.
Office worker here and it really is shockingly true that, not only do they expect adults to see free pizza in the office a couple times a year as some amazing reward, they're actively confused when you say that, really, you'd just like more money so you can buy your own pizza.
“Are you really saying you’d prefer a $200 bonus rather than me spending $100 on pizza for everybody of which you only get one slice, a $3-5 value? I’m very confused right now. How could you say no to pizza?”
This was probably the most honest boss I have ever seen, life would be much simpler with this kind of honesty. Also nice to see Ryan sponsored by my Norwegian brothers!
I've sadly worked for someone who had a problem with "high employe turnaround", he kept complaining that there's no employees with "company loyalty" nowadays.... well, if he had payed his employees fairly, improved the working conditions and not treated them as expendable trash, then maybe they'd stuck around long enough to develop some loyalty 😅
@@kjw79 Funny thing is, people work more and better from home. It's just employers wanting them to come to the office bc they want all their workers there, so it looks busy for customers, they want the office to be as big as possible (for their own ego) and they want the company and to feel like they're lording over people right there (another ego thing). At least in Germany, that's more or less the statistical reality.

Job sites will assign us number to keep records of us that we will clock in and out with and have badges we must carry displayed, All the while pensions will be phased out at job sites and the retirement age for retiring from work by governments will be raised to the point that it will be out reach for people and inflation will run rampant making everyone poorer while politicians live comfy lives living in rich mansions.

Wait, what? But Ryan quitting is a bad thing- we already decided that. I don't generally find myself wanting bad things, but if that's your style, I guess.
I quit my soul-crushing job EXACTLY ONE YEAR AGO TODAY and I'm making it as an author, blogger, and freelance book editor. I feel like this video is a gift to me. 😊
My old workplace literally bribed employees with 'free' pizza to stay back after work and put in another 3 to 4 hours, night after night. This really hits close to home.
If you also get paid for those hours, that is not too bad and just a reasonable nice thing to offer. "If you stay here after work hours, we know a problem would be that you'd want to get dinner, so we will provide you with dinner". Obviously free pizza for a few hours of free work does not make a good deal.
Ryan, I discovered you during Covid and you have continued to give me the gift of laughter, even when having a tough day. You are my go-to when I need to laugh and I find myself watching your videos several times. Thanks for being hysterical!
Maybe you should do a ranking on Humans in the same style you do exotic (and really cool) pets? It would be a fun chance to get your channel a bit more exposure and you could consult with philosphers, nurologists, and psycologists for a wide perspective. You could end it with "Is managing Humans right for you?" Ya might even discourage some of the worst managers amd politicans from mucking up everybodys limited time here! 😂 (edit saw a typo. Had a stroke if I missed other spelling issues thats why)
I would like you to know that after 18 years I am leaving my current job to spend more time at home with family. This video comes out and it is all to perfect. Thank you so much for this.
I quit my job after 14 years and it was the best descision ever. I get paid WAY better now and have better worktimes etc. They tricked me into thinking the company was some sort of family. After I quit, it showed that this was a big lie. I even had to fight about the last (small) payment...
@@e.r.8710 So this video came out on my last day and it hits the nail on the head. Rude and unnecessarily mean manager. Toxic work place with no support. Coworkers that were selfish that pretended to be a family, I even had one guy that microwaved fish a few times. They even ordered pizza for my last day too, which makes this even funnier to me.
I love how he asks the bot how to stop people from interrupting him. I've seen some great personal ads, but the adstronaut is definitely the best ad I've seen.
The whole pizza thing is so true. When I wolfed in a restaurant over time they completely removed family meal, but to increase employee moral they bought a pizza delivery on the rare major volume work day. Sure, remove access to the food we sell but get us a slice of pizza every few months :/
As someone on the verge of doing this from an office where there are *many* emails about how great it is they provide pizza the day before payday, this hits in both an inspirational and also terrifying manner ✌ Mostly the former I think / hope
Before I began working for myself around 2000, I quit quite a few jobs. Several of them immediately "fired" me once I did. It was sort of hilarious, because part of the reason for quitting was obviously because... yes... they were toxic, arrogant, petty, belligerent, and there was no reason to stay, lol! 😂
Any time I've quit its either been life not allowing for the works requirements or I have chewed out the obnoxious and toxic elements so thoroually and publicly they where too emberassed to say a word.
Quit many jobs myself for the very same reason - they were toxic, arrogant, petty, belligerent. Just one instances is all it takes. Put up with that crap for too long - now as said just once, that's it your done.
i love how for the ad, AdStronaut asks the AI how to build a spaceship, and instead the AI is like "nah fam we're gonna tell you how to land one instead" .... A+ job Opera One, keep up the great work! (but really tho i love Opera GX, its such a great browser fr)
Those 3 swears in quick succession were hilarious. Just something about Ryan George cursing is funny but 3 times in quick succession? That’s that what I call comedy diamond
Ryan’s sponsors are the only ones I actually want to watch. I get excited when he is sponsored and I think he knows this as he puts it at the end of the sketch.meaning it’s very easy to skip,but he’s confident that people will watch till the very end. Also I love how short it is.
If broken down to numbers, it's even worse. The median US price for a Pizza is $ 17,81 , so if every Friday is Pizza Friday and you receive a whole Pizza ('ideal' scenario), this equates to a 11c / hour raise. woohoo! Also, I wouldn't be surprised if those pizzas were tax deductible for the employer.
One or two pizza events a year. Meanwhile, a grocery store I worked at would have their chefs (for a cooking class) cook free food for their employees a month. Granted, you had to be there that day, but anyone who worked in that giant store could get it. Now that’s better.
"Well that's a stupid and fat thing to say." Might be the best insult I've ever heard. The delivery of that "clever bastard" line at the end, got me real good too.🤣
"We should do something to show our appreciation for our employees" -HR rep "We do. We pay them." -Manager "Hardly." -Employee "I need a second yacht."-CEO
I tried to quit my last job, and they guilted me into staying saying im their best worker on the team and if i quit now the team is really going to struggle to keep up and id really be letting everyone down. They laid me off about 3 weeks later.
Once they knew you were interested in leaving your days were numbered. They'd be stupid to keep you on knowing you could leave at any moment. They just needed to buy time. Never let an employer guilt you into something. You don't owe them anything and they certainly don't think they owe you anything. It's not a friendship, it's a transaction.
Non compete agreements need to be outlawed for this exact reason, and honestly, normalize not giving your job a two week notice. It's crazy that they can effectively bar you from working for a year or more and think they deserve two weeks to find your replacement but you don't get two weeks to find a new job.
They are in most places around the globe, even in some of the most corporate friendly ones. Even four states in the states outlaw them. 33 at least restrict them a bit. Could be better ... could be worse. I mean, American workers compete against organised employers who own whole lobby organisations while apparently only actors and writers are smart enough to organise themselves in a working union that actually does improve their situations. The rests still gasp at the word union as if somebody said "Headhunter"
That "moving forward" was a nice touch. Never heard anyone say that outside of a business setting. (If it was unintentional, then this might actually be a reenactment...)
Ryan!! Holy shit! Are you WATCHING me?!? I literally JUST had the last day at my job TODAY and this video went up at the same time that I was leaving the office building!!! 😂
I love the added touch of having all the colors look washed out. Very corporate-office. Also I managed to snag a raise after 3 people quit at the hotel, and I told my boss that I was applying to another place that paid more. Next day he offered me more money, and I said, "But can you make this place suck less than the kite shop?"
That's one plus of working at a publicly traded company: they can't hide the bad stuff. Sure, the management will sugarcoat it as far as they can, but they can't just seal their own leaps and refuse to answer difficult questions.
At first I thought this was gonna be a Film Noir video but the reason for the color makes sense with context. Maybe that'd be interesting idea for a video, First Guy to be a Detective and just follows people around gather way too much information.
This video is great and your videos are a great inspiration for my channel to grow in the future. Keep up the good work and inspire many more people that watch your content
I just quit my job to go to a better one. My boss didn't quite have a reaction like this guy, but when she found out that I was going to get a pension at the new position, all her arguments melted.
Former gas station employee here. I worked my job for 5 years with low pay and no chance at promotion or raise due to not going to college. It was soul crushing work with nothing but music playing in my ears, employees talking about people and stupid shit, and worst of all rude costumers that hate nearly everything about you and brag they make more in a week than i do a month. The job wasnt my passion and i had no choice because my bills were so high. I was treated like a slab of meat and every day the same thing. I didnt like the pay didnt like the work so i quit. Now im struggling to pay bills and find a job, but guess what. I enjoy every moment of it than being back at that place. The oldest worker there called me a fool and said i should have a job before i quit but guess what, I dont and i am still alive and enjoying the struggle of life than the struggle of work.
Now I'm an independent contractor making whatever I want working when I like. I feel like I've found peace and balance in my life. I've never felt happier to go to work.@@Not-an-Alien
*This is great... I put in my "2-Week Notice" yesterday because a Headhunter reched out to me for a better position, with a better company... but they're.... LITERALLY ACROSS THE F'N STREET!!!!*
This has inspired me to draft my resignation letter - as I'm going through the same thing😊😂 and it's precisely about culture and excellent leadership 😊
I felt this 😂 Hey, here's a random thought: have you ever considered what it would be like if almost all information on the internet disappeared, and one of the only relics left to tell future generations of our time were Ryan George's first guy videos?
Of course the whole video was great, but I especially liked the extra bits in the ad portion with the questions being typed into Aria ("How do I land a spaceship???") 😆.
Hey Ryan, first of all, a GREAT video as usual! I got a suggestion though - Can you also do a First Guy To vid about strikes and labor union? What with historic WGA victory a while ago, I think I would really appreciate if you do!
The first time I quit my job I was smart about it. I waited to accumulate all my vacation days alloted for the year, cashed them in, and then during my vacations I emailed them my resignation letter. My two weeks notice was the time left in my vacations. By the time my vacations were over all I had to do was walk to the office once to return all the equipment and cardkeys, and then immediately walk right out. No retention offers, no guilt slinging, and SPECIALLY no more dealing with my own version of Garret, who thought his Sexual Harrasment jokes were funny, even though nobody else did. I just left, during my vacations I applied for a different company, got my interview during said vacation time, and did all the paperwork. Once I walked out, 2 days later I began working at my new job and it's been great. Been there 2 years already.
I don't know what to make of the fact that a pop-up ad floating next to Ryan looks and seems plausible and real. Another great video, Ryan. I love how your trying out new ways to deliver lines in this video, it really landed well. I hope you (and anyone else reading this comment) have a great day.
i think making it a sequel where he gets hired at the new job he found would be funnier, cause it would be imply that no one got hired even though there's people with jobs

Offer pizza. Pizza was always the answer, stingy Manager just didn't offer enough the first time.

Also, I don't make so little that I can't feed myself. My issues center around being overworked and stressed out.
Wait until they go from free pizza to pot lucks.
For one of my jobs, I personally held a pizza party when I quit. Call it irony, but boy was the boss mad.😂

Yeah but I just heard a bunch of people getting “fired” with 6 month severance. No one gives 6 months warning so it goes both ways.
@@aguyfromnothere severance isn't a warning it's just some money they give when they fire you
This one hit to close to home for me. And I appreciate you for it.
Watching Ryan George videos as soon as possible is TIGHT!
"Well that's a stupid and fat thing to say." Might be the best insult I've ever heard.
The delivery of that "clever bastard" line at the end, got me real good too.🤣
"We should do something to show our appreciation for our employees" -HR rep
"We do. We pay them." -Manager
"Hardly." -Employee
"I need a second yacht."-CEO
Yeah, sounds about right.
Become a CEO and walk the talk, dufus
The DeVos Family: "Those are rookie numbers, CEO. Pump them up."
The biggest joke is the part where hr is thinking about the employees
yeah because you'd do something different as the CEO
I am in awe of Ryan’s ability to make damn near anything funny
As a huge fan of these skits who put in their two weeks notice earlier today... this hits.
When he said “thanks for sponsoring Opera” instead of “more about them at the end of the scetch” my heart skipped a beat.
I feared for a minute that the Adstronaut had quit his job. 🙀
I am about to quit my job soon, So it was really good seeing this.😂
I felt so identified with this video, especially today, I don't know if to laugh or cry. Great stuff.
I would never quit working for Ryan George. 🥰
I hear there's a lot of nepotism.
Thanks Ryan for giving us two videos over two different channels, which I'm sure was not super easy and a major inconvenience.
I would like to see Ryan's closet lol. I'm sure he needs a seperate house just to store all his clothes and accessories.
*separate
It takes a true talent to make us laugh and make a strong social statement at the same time.
I tried to quit my last job, and they guilted me into staying saying im their best worker on the team and if i quit now the team is really going to struggle to keep up and id really be letting everyone down.
They laid me off about 3 weeks later.
You were irreplaceable until they found a replacement.
Let me say on your behalf, that was really stupid and #*$&@. Hope it's better now.
Lesson learned.
Once they knew you were interested in leaving your days were numbered. They'd be stupid to keep you on knowing you could leave at any moment. They just needed to buy time.
Never let an employer guilt you into something. You don't owe them anything and they certainly don't think they owe you anything. It's not a friendship, it's a transaction.
🤣
Non compete agreements need to be outlawed for this exact reason, and honestly, normalize not giving your job a two week notice. It's crazy that they can effectively bar you from working for a year or more and think they deserve two weeks to find your replacement but you don't get two weeks to find a new job.
They are in most places around the globe, even in some of the most corporate friendly ones. Even four states in the states outlaw them. 33 at least restrict them a bit. Could be better ... could be worse. I mean, American workers compete against organised employers who own whole lobby organisations while apparently only actors and writers are smart enough to organise themselves in a working union that actually does improve their situations.
The rests still gasp at the word union as if somebody said "Headhunter"
Pitch meeting and a Ryan gorge skit in one day? this is awesome!!
That "moving forward" was a nice touch. Never heard anyone say that outside of a business setting. (If it was unintentional, then this might actually be a reenactment...)
Ryan!! Holy shit! Are you WATCHING me?!? I literally JUST had the last day at my job TODAY and this video went up at the same time that I was leaving the office building!!! 😂
I love the added touch of having all the colors look washed out. Very corporate-office.
Also I managed to snag a raise after 3 people quit at the hotel, and I told my boss that I was applying to another place that paid more. Next day he offered me more money, and I said, "But can you make this place suck less than the kite shop?"
Corporate: we've had record profits and bought everyone a yacht
Also Corporate: we've decided to reward your hard work with a pizza 🍕 party 🥳 🎉
Sounds about right -___-
That's one plus of working at a publicly traded company: they can't hide the bad stuff. Sure, the management will sugarcoat it as far as they can, but they can't just seal their own leaps and refuse to answer difficult questions.
"Teeny Tiny Itty Bitty Baby Bits of Money" and "Pizza That One Time"......Sounds familiar!!!
That was super entertaining. Very time worthy
At first I thought this was gonna be a Film Noir video but the reason for the color makes sense with context. Maybe that'd be interesting idea for a video, First Guy to be a Detective and just follows people around gather way too much information.
ryan george might genuinely be the funniest person on youtube
Woke up in the morning and BAM, John Wick 4 pitch meeting!
I scroll to the next video and BAM, a new First Guy to Ever video!
Best morning ever!
Lol, at 2:04 ... there's one foosball table in the break room at the Amazon sortation center I just started working at today. Amazon sucks, lol.
This video is great and your videos are a great inspiration for my channel to grow in the future. Keep up the good work and inspire many more people that watch your content
I just quit my job to go to a better one. My boss didn't quite have a reaction like this guy, but when she found out that I was going to get a pension at the new position, all her arguments melted.
Recently quit my job for all of those reasons. This spoke to my soul. Thank you :)
Former gas station employee here. I worked my job for 5 years with low pay and no chance at promotion or raise due to not going to college. It was soul crushing work with nothing but music playing in my ears, employees talking about people and stupid shit, and worst of all rude costumers that hate nearly everything about you and brag they make more in a week than i do a month. The job wasnt my passion and i had no choice because my bills were so high. I was treated like a slab of meat and every day the same thing. I didnt like the pay didnt like the work so i quit. Now im struggling to pay bills and find a job, but guess what. I enjoy every moment of it than being back at that place. The oldest worker there called me a fool and said i should have a job before i quit but guess what, I dont and i am still alive and enjoying the struggle of life than the struggle of work.
how about now?
Now I'm an independent contractor making whatever I want working when I like. I feel like I've found peace and balance in my life. I've never felt happier to go to work.@@Not-an-Alien
*This is great... I put in my "2-Week Notice" yesterday because a Headhunter reched out to me for a better position, with a better company... but they're.... LITERALLY ACROSS THE F'N STREET!!!!*
Ryan's genius and kindness and subtlety is so magnificent that I pray to God this man continues making content feeling safe and loved.
You have listed all the reasons why I quit my last job with the exception of the coworkers. I liked working with them.
Ryan’s comedy is so good that I don’t skip the ads
This has inspired me to draft my resignation letter - as I'm going through the same thing😊😂 and it's precisely about culture and excellent leadership 😊
Ryan George is the best comedy RUclipsr, and the most matter-of-fact one too! (he should get an award for both)
I felt this 😂 Hey, here's a random thought: have you ever considered what it would be like if almost all information on the internet disappeared, and one of the only relics left to tell future generations of our time were Ryan George's first guy videos?
Gareth lurking creepily before walking off is the sort of added touch that make these great sketches top notch 🤌
I love how half the video is an ad, but I don't mind because it's as funny as the first part of the video!
This ryan george guy is pretty cool. He should make videos where he talks about movies too. Would be super easy, bearly an inconvenience
"First Guy to do a Pitch Meeting"
My current job does have one foosball table in the break room. Glad to know I'm moving in the right direction
2:18 if this is your truth, just walk. Your integrity as a human being is worth more than your integrity as a cog in the machine.
I hate myself for laughing out loud (literally) for the last joke; "No." And then "Clever bastard!" HA
I love how the boss guy nearly had a stroke upon hearing of the foosball table 😂😂
Of course the whole video was great, but I especially liked the extra bits in the ad portion with the questions being typed into Aria ("How do I land a spaceship???") 😆.
Hey Ryan, first of all, a GREAT video as usual!
I got a suggestion though - Can you also do a First Guy To vid about strikes and labor union?
What with historic WGA victory a while ago, I think I would really appreciate if you do!
Excellent documentary
0:30 cents...I see what you did there
Ryan you clever bastard!
The first time I quit my job I was smart about it. I waited to accumulate all my vacation days alloted for the year, cashed them in, and then during my vacations I emailed them my resignation letter. My two weeks notice was the time left in my vacations. By the time my vacations were over all I had to do was walk to the office once to return all the equipment and cardkeys, and then immediately walk right out.
No retention offers, no guilt slinging, and SPECIALLY no more dealing with my own version of Garret, who thought his Sexual Harrasment jokes were funny, even though nobody else did.
I just left, during my vacations I applied for a different company, got my interview during said vacation time, and did all the paperwork. Once I walked out, 2 days later I began working at my new job and it's been great. Been there 2 years already.
I did this exact same thing this week. So proud of myself
1:24 jesus lmao 😭😭
I don't know what to make of the fact that a pop-up ad floating next to Ryan looks and seems plausible and real.
Another great video, Ryan. I love how your trying out new ways to deliver lines in this video, it really landed well. I hope you (and anyone else reading this comment) have a great day.
Also, I just noticed, an ordinary Ryan George video and a Pitch Meeting released on the same day? Huzzah!!!
0:55 Prison exists in the Ryanverse now?!
Or did Ryan do a whoopsie, and meant to say it's all very like being put in a room?
Hey, I'm thinking of doing that thing too. Glad someone tested it out for me
Now we need the prequel "first guy to ever get hired for a job"
Actually that already exists, somewhat anyways ruclips.net/video/LCaMguF7PYY/видео.htmlfeature=shared
Already there
I’m 90% sure he already did that
i think making it a sequel where he gets hired at the new job he found would be funnier, cause it would be imply that no one got hired even though there's people with jobs
@@NoizZy_Omg yess! and that hasnt been done I think
The timing on this video is great! On my 2 week notice currently 😊
