"Overqualified" means that they can't afford to pay you what you could demand.

she also should have only suggested they had an opening as an Accountant !!! not the the head of personnel
"You are over qualified to be an accountant." "That's OK. I don't intend to work very hard." Priceless.

@@russkate88 No, she sounds like someone who is wise beyond her years because she understands that laboring for someone is is the modern equivalent to indentured servitude. Even if you make $250k with today's money, you still won't have the purchasing power that a typical family had from the early 1950s.

@@PixelPi Without no questions & just some simple math I'll take that 250K please. At 250K your standard of living is many times greater than someone making the median income of $2,300 in 1952. I don't think you thought that through.
A lot of thought went into writing the script. Well done, whoever did it.

no it wouldn't because nobody would act so childish, she never signed any paper and last you can't just fire people because you want to, you still need a serious motivation. Actually the video could have more realistically ended by just suing for futile motivations.

Nereus Yes, you can fire people without motivation. Actually it would be better to fire without motivation, so they can't really 'sue' you. And if they did sue you then you can't work for your boss anymore because you ruined the relationship. So it's a win-win for the boss (off course he gonna pay all the legal documents and pay-outs, including raises and ancienity).

agreed just what i was going to say. and i don't think having permission applies, you just can't. That would be like hiring your boss. Which would have a conflict of interest.

I like that look on the applicant's face after saying she doesn't intend to work that hard, after the interviewer's reaction.
the dynamic shift at 3:02 is masterful...after this moment I just found out that the camera is framed so they both look like they're sitting in the boss position...

Great sketch. Keeps you guessing the whole way. Just when I thought they'd exhausted the twists, they give you more. Lol'd at 3:11. Often these games can get tired after a minute, but not so here.
What a great sketch, brilliant writing and production 👍
Excellent acting with a twist at the end makes this short VERY entertaining! 🎭
DEar god, thank you for the giggles!!! I'm studying to be a chartered accountant, and I cannot explain how funny that was!
the moment she said, that it would not be enough, i knew what would happen. but the reveal was priceless :)

Absolutely brilliant.
Well written sketch. Underrated by KZread algorithm to be recommended this late....you are fired.

Brilliant!!! "You promise you won't quit?"
Your hilarious sketch reminded me of one of my favourite jokes. It goes like this: Reaching the end of a job interview, the manager asks a young engineer fresh out of college, "And what starting salary are you looking for?" The engineer replies, "In the region of £125,000 a year, all depending on the benefits package, of course." The manager says, "I see. Well, what would you say to a package of 6 weeks paid holiday, full medical and dental benefits, a pension fund to 50% of your salary with an early retirement bonus available at age 50, plus a brand new company car leased to you every two years, say, a Mercedes sports convertible?" The engineer sits up straight and gasps, "Wow! Are you kidding?" The interviewer replies, "Of course, but you started it."
Nice sketch, really good on all facets. I really liked the performances and the idea behind this one.

I went for a job and the guy said something about how they couldn't guarantee the number of hours per week and I said "That's OK, I don't like working very much anyway". I still got the job.
That was AWESOME!
Love the progression, great stuff!
Very funny ! I had a boss who fired me several times, only to let his secretary call me a few days later & politely ask why I would no longer show up. I asked to be put thru to my (former ?) boss, who barked at me that he didn’t mean it & I should come back. Each time I negotiated a raise, only to result in the HR people ringing me why I always got a raise out of sync with rest of the gang. On and on it went, until I (!) resigned for a better job - and he gave me glowing references ever after, which finally moved me into two MD / CEO positions. Have to say I loved the game, but isn’t it a strange world ? Now I am retired early, live on a farm with my lovely wife, and life couldn’t be better. I don’t miss the rat race for a single day !

Well, gee...I dunno, Blue Kid. Would you consider the concept of citizens electing individuals to head the executive branch of our government a form of “we, the people” hiring their own boss? Yes, I’ll agree it’s kind of a rough analogy, but I’m willing to provide other examples to help clarify my question to you if you’d like. Just ask.
This is like George Costanza interviewing with Steinbrenner. Do the OPPOSITE !!
