Candace Owens

In my imagination...

I just thought she would be more upset.

And I want to be clear, the overall mood of this call is extraordinarily upbeat.

It's extraordinarily happy.

But of course, as the CEO and chairman, she does have to address the elephant in the room, the morbid elephant in the room, if you will, because it's an obligation.

You have a new CEO.

The employees are working 20-hour days together.

but also their founder, Charlie, was publicly assassinated less than two weeks ago.

You've got to address that.

And you're going to hear her address that by recapping to them that throughout these long working days, the employees were provided with ample resources while they were working.

Take a listen.

There's a lot happening there and none of it is what I would be expecting to happen there.

So basically what the employees said to me was that they got onto this call and everyone's exhausted, everyone's been working and they pull off this massive memorial.

And then there's kind of this approach where it's like, well, if you guys need paid time off, like Charlie's in heaven dancing, wanting you to work harder.

He's just up there like, you better work, but you can use the paid time off that you have earned, by the way, if you need to grieve more.

But imagine you're the employee, you're like, okay, well, this is his wife saying this, so am I weird?

Would I be, like, I would be pretty weird if I needed to take time off and his wife is saying she's full steam ahead.

That's the mentality that they had.

Like, how are we supposed, like, are we weird for wanting to grieve?

Is that not the vibe?
