darn it... it's not on Netflix Asia or Netflix US!!
can't watch it in america.
Is this utopia as in the same script of the UK channel 4 Utopia?
It’s Australian if anyone is wondering. Idk how VPNs work so there you go.

I don't think it would work regardless... Netflix now base streaming on the account's location. We'll need to register with an Australian account and mobile number to make this work.
She is a brilliant actress. She hit the exact condescending tone that would drive me absolutely insane.
Seriously, the blood boils. She's fantastic. I hate her. lol
I'd seriously would ask her to change her tone and attitude if she wishes to continue this conversation as it's creating a hostile work environment
Notice the "interesting..." "It is, yeah..." aside - the reason people like that get to be that way is they are sycophants for the delusional managers.
Oh she’s fantastic. I can tell on account I want to die .
It a toxic workplace.
"He doesn't identify as an engineer"😂
That got me 😂
One joke...
lmfao im literally trans and this bitch is even too liberal for me lmfao. that was a good one lol
Sometimes you gotta speak in the language that will be understood. 😂 Same meaning, different words.
I would have said "we don't pay him to be an engineer".
"I've read about it working"
"Yeah, on Danish bike paths"
That was funny as hell.
😂 So triggered every time one of these shorts comes up, hits me every time right in my career path.
What I found truly amusing as an avid environmentally conscience cyclist, is that recycled rubber compound paths rapidly deteriorate. Causing micro particles of plastics, rubber and other compounds to enter the environment, washing into the soil and our waterways.
As a Dane i can indeed confirm that it works! But holy Hell never for car roads!
@@Frombie_01rubber floor is awesome in my workshop for long hours of standing. Why anyone would think of using it outdoor on a path with higher wear rates is beyond me
@@Frombie_01if you mix in natural rubber to asphalt it becomes long lasting in rainy climates
"I've got kids with stop go signs on a quarter of a million dollars a year plus bonuses" 💀💀💀
I know right. Where's the sign? I'll hold the sign for half what they're paying
This is actually true. Technically it's "hazardous work" because you're on the road in the heat or dark or rain. So you get a solid base salary plus weekend/overnight pay plus the hazard pay on-top. No idea how to get that job though haha
@sagemidson2033 I am in traffic control. I did a 1 day course. Few other things after the course. Then, I asked a company for a job. I get paid over $30/hr to do very little.
@@sagemidson2033 start by getting on your knees in front of the site foreman?
@@sagemidson2033 No, it's "hazardous work" because you have a seriously decent chance of being run over by all the shitty, moronic drivers out there who see the "ROAD WORK AHEAD" sign and think it's an excuse to speed up and start playing Candy Crush on their phone.
I get it's a joke but I can genuinely feel my blood starting to boil.
They intend it to be more than a joke. It's just propaganda.

Credit to the actress.
Its cause you know somewhere there's actually people like this
When somehow the boss is the most likable person in a satire skit about the work place 😂
Truly a work of fantasy when a level-headed person is promoted
It’s trying to be more of a reflection of government policy. He’s not actually the boss, he’s like a middle man.
almost like this is top-down politically motivated. but whatever.
“it’s impossible we’re exploiting them. why are you even asking about exploitation?” definitely no agenda here guys.
@@tonoornottono what
@@luck3yp0rk93 i’m not going to waste my time explaining my simple comment to somebody who has no intention of understanding it.
"Have you considered recycled materials?"
"Yes, asphalt"
People will cycle on it. Then they'll do it again. And again...
@@interestedbystander196 It actually gets recycled (when it starts getting holes, they will scrape it off, then use the scraped off material to make new asphalt).
I love how all the civil engineering folks IMMEDIATELY got on here to obliterate this argument! Truly a unifying moment. 😂
@@marekogarek6329 "I make joke." - Greyworm
"Not letting other voices be heard."
"Maybe if you stopped interrupting us..."
Talk about double standards
By "other voices", I'm thinking she meant _hers._
"Ever considered recycled material?" Yes. Asphalt is the most recycled material in the world.
concrete can also be recycled lol
@@hardcorelace7565DAS CONK CREET BAYBEE
This is esp. true for refreshing the roads, shaving off, recycling and putting it back on.
But never thought about building new roads. Wonder how much recycled material is used on them.
Okay, quick search: Apparently newly build roads will use much less recycled material than renewing the road surface. In total it is (in Germany) about 84% asphalt waste gets recycled.
The granular base they mentioned (in Australia at least where this is based) is literally 100% recycled materials. Either crushed leftover rocks from other manufacturing processes, or commonly just crushed old concrete
Road base usually = crushed concrete is what I was getting at, we literally call it road base over here
"I read about it working."
Citation needed.
Are you trying to use real logic in a piece of fiction? :-) how cute. Or stupid. I am not sure.
@@taiwanisacountry Stupid. You are so much cleverer than I am.
@@taiwanisacountryi bet you think you're smarter than everyone around you
@@taiwanisacountry This is an actual conversation that has happened across occupations, whether that be in civil engineering, medicine, or even law.
@@Entinu94 ow wow. Where? Since America don't have proper unions then it is not in America. :-) and since places with strong unions such as here in Denmark do not do such stupid things, then it is also not here..
Now please tell me, where? America barely has regulations in terms of workers protections, or the climate. Double that in places like Texas.
Her: “Not letting other voices be heard.”
Meanwhile she just interrupted two other people in the middle of their conversation.
I actually work in road construction as an operator, and the funniest part of this to me is that asphalt is a 99% reclaimable material and most paving projects incorporate at least 25-30% recycled materials for cost efficiency
The best part is the fact that the person doing the tone policing is repeatedly saying "road" instead of "highway", which is a clear microaggression against the people who identify as engineers.
How awful it is that the union is trying to look after the socially disadvantaged people. How freaking inhumane. And that they want to make sure that people are not exploited for their work. How freaking cruel!
Just lock them up. What is going to be next that we need send our kids to school instead of factories? How unthinkable.
Ow sorry those were talking points from the 1860s. You know only 160 years. But you seem to hold on to those ideas. Good for you.

@@taiwanisacountry Ok Karen
@@thefutureisnowoldman7653 :-D yeah I am such a Karen for wanting to get a liveable wage, man I must be so annoying stating the USA is fucked up place for people. But hey your cars are doing well. Ow wait of all 3 car hubs in the world east Asia, America and Europe, then America is dead last. You can't even do cars properly.
So America compared to East Asia and west/Northern Europe is awful for people, don't know how to make cars, higher murder rates, worse human rights records, if we exclude the PRC and NK from east Asia, and of course has don't forget their infrastructure sucks balls. All of it, both for private and public transportation. Here in Denmark we don't have a toll road because it is freaking stupid xD and unfair for people at the bottom of society.
Anyone who has ever worked in any government organisation in Australia knows just how accurate this comical portrayal of bureaucracy actually is🙈
According to my mom its pretty much the same in ontarios government too, across three completely different branches too apparently 😭
Everyone thinning their fovt is special and different and uniquely slow 😂 nope. That's democracy and having way too many fucking people living on the planet. If we see and treat everyone as an individual human being with rights, then we have to listen to their opinions. I mean what's the alternative lmao? Quicker policy building means people are left out.
Stg nobody has critical thinking skills anymore 💀 jeez do ppl think that massive institutions should just do whatever they want?? Ew
Unfortunate the public service is so often paralysed by fear of actually doing anything lest cadres of largely talentless middle managers’ ladder climbing be stalled.
The US too. My dad worked for a government contractor and in the 90s, a politician asked for a tour just to do a hit piece interview for her campaign trail. She was basically saying what this lady was here and it made about as much sense.
Bureaucracy was bad enough, but now it’s also got the woke insanity on top of it as well.
This has the same energy as "They asked me how well I understood theoretical physics. I said I had a theoretical degree in physics. They said welcome aboard."
That Scientist has got to be the DUMBEST person I've ever met.
Ain't that a kick in the head
don't dizz on mr. fantastic he single handily restarted Helios one trust me he told me he wouldn't lie
Hahaha, glad I get that 😂
"Tony, tone." Right there is when my head explodes, and the shrapnel from my skull takes them all out!
"This road of yours"... de-valuing coworkers in the office!
The writers of this show and the actors acting are brilliant - so life-like.
Yeah, makes people angry. Too bad it's supposed to be funny. Cursed reality.
Do you know people like this in real life?
And that's why the series was canceled. Show was too much like life and not satire.
I have seen three clips from this show, and the actors nailed it so well i don't i could watch it without being pissed at how condescending they are😂 great job writing and acting
"exploiting THEM? Have you seen the workplace agreements?" ahahhaahahah!
I hate how real this is.
You must not live in this reality.
Are you saying leftists aren't real?
@@vincentpolin real life this is all too common, especially for government work. You must not have a job then to dismiss it so carelessly
@vincentpol Look at Canadian liberal party. This is real life here. Completely insane.
@@vincentpol Different people tend to live different lives and experience different things.
Sorry I don't live in your world and have a different perspective.
"have you seen the workplace agreements?" Love that line
"He doesn't identify as an engineer!" LMAO
They nailed the fact that they complain their voices aren’t heard while they are completely hijacking the conversation and make themselves the only one allowed to speak.
And this is why a 10 million dollar project costs over 100 million dollars to get going
+ the corruption
@@baronbrummbar8691yeah I mean it must have cost a lot of money to convince the American politicians that workers right are not really rights, and that workers actually don't need a livable wage , and that their safety does not matter, and that organisations who's only job is to look after those things, are actually evil. I mean Regan ran on a pro-union platform, as the former head of the screen actors guild. Remember them? Those people who protested this year. Yeah Reagan was their leader. But then he got corrupt and after he was kicked out for being corrupt, then he went into politics to get back at unions. How messed up is that? That you get into politics for a personal Vendetta. Ow yeah trump did the same. How silly of me.
No no dont pull shit from your ass like you worked your life in civil engineering or project management.
asphalt IS recycled, like 80% of it is old road ground down with some new bitumen added to it, they don't even heat it up properly anymore, for the environment offcourse then the paving machines have to burn more gass to heat up the mechanism whilst it used to be that an isolated truck could wait half a day and still need minimal reheating for the machine to work fine with it
I came here to say this too
Asphalt is the most recycled material on the planet.
And that is absolutely the point. People who think they know everything, asking questions that are absolutely absurd, to fix issues that nobody really cares about. The future is dumb.
Bullshit environmental reasons, they know it's cheaper to do a crap job because their contracts are guaranteed for life.
They repaved my street for the first time in 25 years and it's already wearing pot holes after 1. It's a massive con.
@SineN0mine3 except in that year there's been multiple vehicles close to 1.5tons each driving over them on a daily basis, and potentially larger 10-15T lorries making deliveries during that time. Are you really putting 1 year of service before failure as shoddy work and not wear and tear?
Going for "he's being aggressive" when things doesn't go her way😂
I see you too have dated females
Absolutely infuriating and hilarious at the same time! Top class acting.
When bro clarified it being a highway not a road for the second time, I knew shit was 'bout to go down 😅
Every clip from this show pisses me off i can only omagine just how real this is
It is a REALLY funny/ brilliant show, but I can never watch more than two episodes at a time (1/2hr) for fear of my head exploding.
It's not remotely real, management never get affected by this stuff. It's all staff members going through training that's either pointless because you're not a nasty person, or useless because you are and you'll ignore it.
HR and adjacent employees are there to protect the company from you, and just gesture at being inclusive.
@@fubarecognitionin government it is how it works. In the private sector it’s low level staff that get all this bullshit, but even then that’s because of politics or even government mandates sometimes lol
It is not real you dumb dumb. :-) it is FICTION! If it were actually real, don't you think that snowflakes such as yourself would have recorded such instances? Ow sorry you live in a country where it is frowned upon to want to safeguard workers. Just like Ronal Reagan did before he got corrupt and then turned to politics. Remember Reagan the head of the screen actors guilt, that union that protested this year? He was their leader.
Imagine how it's not spelled Omagine.
Dude wtf. The writing in this show is too good. It's like they just take the minutes from real conference rooms and act over them. A fucking plus mate
I worked hr for 3 years. I absolutely hate HR personnel. I had my own HR officer, 'don't bite the hand that feeds you' is the most applicable to the HR demons

I identify as this being my real life experience.
It's ok, your lived experiences are valid and matter. This is a safe space.
watch your tone lpl@@elyrienvalkyr8167
It is
I seriously doubt it.
This isn't just a show, it's a real life documentary as far as I can tell.
This is when you just fire everybody, shut down the company, and sit on a street corner with a handmade sign.
I couldn't make a minute watching this. Much respect to the people involved: You've all done your jobs too well.
"Sorry, he doesn't identify as an engineer!" lol.
She is why the cost of living is so high.
It’s scary how accurate this is becoming.
Give her an award. Im so mad. Great acting
Engineer is a qualification and certification, not a label.

I could literally feel my blood boil. ...
Wow... What a good piece of acting😂😂😂😂
They do this without actually caring about the people they're arguing about
So close to the truth, it’s scary.
The stop signs line is absolute gold.

I'm simultaneously enraged and amused
I know they're trying satire, but this is essentially the real modern workplace after Long March Through The Institutions.

"He doesn't identify as an engineer" sent me lolol
"ive read read about it working" sent me
“He doesn’t identify as an engineer” is a golden comeback
these skits are pure gold
The guy and the woman across from him have common sense.
The virtue signalling is pointless since it's disruptive and ruins efficiency.
Hate the fact it is happening in many companies.
I dont think asking "is there a risk we are exploiting them" is virtue signalling or inefficient. Its a question all companies should be asking themselves
@@tjeulink True. Having a conscience is what also makes us human.
Just the way they asked the questions was quite annoying to me.
@@tjeulink right, I mean the problem is that so often it is just _signalling_. I'd like to think very few are opposed to a more equitable world, yet organisations are rather efficient at avoiding actually doing anything to support that, so we get nonsense slogan instead.
The dangerous part of course is that people get so annoyed at the slogans they end up opposing inclusivity as well, a cynic might say that's what a lot of these groups want event…
@@ohpurpled if someome opposes humanity because someone is annoying, they would never have cared about humanity because it would've been just as inconvenient to them.
You are like the woke girl... you don't get the whole context? Even if she could be right, she made it wrong.
“He does not identify as an engineer!” That is the best!
This goddamn short and the ones like it give me high blood pressure
The joke is that this is reality.
Frightening to think these are real conversations taking place in offices around the country
it's satire. These are 100% the conversations that NGOs and activists are having tho, and it's infuriating working on projects with people on say, climate resilience, and suddenly they're talking about the interplay between climate change and LGBT+ acceptance for 30 mins.
This is Seattle city council for sure
Its time for the boss to start using strong sarcasm and snarky remarks with quick witted replies that tells HR that they are stupid without telling them that they ara stupid.
"Tone." Perfect tone of condescension.
They don’t care about efficiency or getting the job done because they get paid either way. The beauty of government.
Get paid no matter how bad you are at your job.
You think this happens only in governments? This happens in companies all the time.
@@Leo-sd3jt yes but the point is that they are paying for it. The taxpayer isnt!
@@tcideh4929 except that that mentality led to laws requiring governments to outsource things that should be done by the government to private for-profit companies who raise costs and run things ineffectively. And there's been a recent push for pushing out skilled government workers who have the most experience and awareness calling them "deep state" when all that really means (if you look it up) are people who actually can manage to run things. Also, you as a person tend to pay to these companies as well since monopoly restrictions have been removed on a lot of industries. Government tends to have corruption and inefficiency but the goal is to have a transparent and accountable government. People who push for government functions to be run by companies (I'm not saying that you're one of those people) tend to forget that companies tend to be by definition less transparent and less accountable that most governments and also have an entirely different goal in mind.
Sorry for the long text.
@@tcideh4929 Taxpayers still pay for it, Transurban anyone?
Do you realise just how true your comment is? I've worked for government authorities.
If these people are in leadership… ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WILL EVER PROCEED FORWARD Or BE BUILT… UNTIL THEY ARE VOTED OUT OR FORCED TO BE REPLACED With Wiser Leadership. Not IDIOTS.

This is so accurate. Get those people out of the meetings. I see this all the time.
I’ve never seen a British show that I want to watch until I started seeing clips for this
I don’t know whether to laugh or be angry because this is the idiotic world we live in now.
Either way, I’m entertained.
I love how these company, on their high horse, fail to see how much pressure are they putting on the workers
this is portraying government.
The "not letting others be heard" part is extra ironic because he's literally letting everyone at the table speak which is very unrealistic for most bosses
„He doesn’t identify as an engineer“ had me in Stiches
Hitting way too close to home
And you are whispering about the person in front of you. RUDE.
She also interrupt someone. She’s literally the worst one there, but she’s badmouthing the guy as if he’s a problem.
It’s ironic because she’s talking about “not letting other’s voices be heard” when she’s the one interrupting and talking down to him, then claiming workplace harassment when he doesn’t immediately kowtow to her.
They accuse people of aggression but are the aggressors in everything
Engineer is defined as : a person who designs, builds, or maintains engines, machines, or public works.
As a kid you played with Lego's you were an engineer. let that sink in.
Looool
If I am ever in a meeting with someone like that, I am pretty sure she would be out the door in less than a minute 😂
Stop inviting her to meetings
Start inviting her to be fired
Judging from the clip and her rage-red VISITOR badge there... Kinda doubt he has a say whether she's there or not. Or can fire her, like the other commenter said. :P

Road base is recycled. But hey I love her enthusiasm.

If they keep doing everything right, this show will sit right on the top with 'The Office' 😂😂😂
Legit this kind of stuff is one of the reasons i left local government. I was able to avoid it gor a long time, but eventually woke politics came to my little town too. When my supervisor told me i should change the recreation poster language from "Teen girls running club" to "female identifying persons running club" i knew I wasn't going to last long lol. Amd this was in Canada, so its not impossible i could have faced criminal prosecution for discrimination against an at risk minority if i expressed disagreement
Wow. Best of luck up there. Y'all need a 2nd amendment.
Lol. Yes, it is impossible you would have faced criminal prosecution.
The bill everyone referenced when claiming you'd get thrown in jail for language around trans people was Bill C-16. In order to get charged under it, you would have to be either (a) publicly advocating for genocide, or (b) willfully promoting hatred in such a way that it is likely to lead to a breach of the peace. You disagreeing with this language change is very clearly neither.
Additionally, since this law was put into place 6 years ago, a grand total of 0 people have been arrested or charged under it. And I can assure you that no one would want to make your situation the landmark case. So yeah, it pretty much was impossible.
They would have to prove injuries under the risk of perjury
@@deshyvin yes, yes we do. Hell, any amendment really. Canadians don't even have a government guaranteed right to free speech. We've just never had a government before that's made it an issue. I moved to Tennessee though, partly because of the regime change in Canada
Gonna file that under, stuff that didn't happen.
I love seeing the end of this playing out.
Ahh the good ol person who knows jack lecturing the person whose literal job it is to know on how to do it.
