And Rio said what did he is A you hear me out.

Rhea said that she was called on the carpet by some off the bigwigs.

For what?

Oh, my gosh.

Now this is getting serious, right?

They told her that she was flunky on Dhe.

If she doesn't start pulling her weight, they are gonna didn't demote her.

Oh, my God.

To what?

And not just that, guys, they are gonna make her work.

That is really, really crazy and bad.

Okay, I heard her and I completely empathize with her.

I said to her, Ria, you better get cracking or those slave drivers are gonna can you for sure.

And you would have tow pound the pavement again.

Now, I know that we have certain really interesting words and phrases right in front of us.

Okay, Now, these terms are a little different than our normal language, and we are going to deke or all of thes.

So let's get cracking these codes.

And let's just dick or all of this, right?

Your first.

Okay, so let's take a look at this.

So first, what did she say?

Rio said that she was called on the carpet.

Now let's understand what is called on the carpet.

It means you've done something wrong, Okay?

And people have called you on the carpet.

My father called me on the carpet.

Whenever I do something wrong, what did you understand by this?

You are called to be scolded that so let me just right here, okay?

Called on the red carpet means someone's going to scold you for something wrong that you have done in this case, she was talking about her work.

Police.

So she's definitely going to get lecture, was scolded by it's written by whom?

By some off the bigwigs.

Now think about it.

It's actually a nice phrase.

You know, the big wakes can be used for positive and negative instances and situations.

In her case, she's calling her bosses the bigwigs, and it's fair, right?

people who have great par, great responsibility in there, offices in workplace.

That means she's talking about her bosses and higher executed managers, right for what they're calling her for missing her deadlines.

Like I said, being called on the red carpet is no joy.

It's usually for something that you have done wrong, right?

It's for missing her deadline.

Now we all know we have deadlines.

We had that lines even when we were in school, so she had to complete certain work.

Now, when you talk about deadlines, you're basically talking about a certain date.

Ah, certain day or maybe a certain time before which you must complete your work right, And that's a deadline.

So because you did not complete her work before are given time.

She was called on the red carpet savvy.

Moving further, they told her that she was flunky.

Now what is flunky?

It's nothing but being unskilled, being unprofessional, okay, unskilled or unprofessional.

And if she doesn't start pulling her weight now, what does pulling her weight actually mean?

Guys isn't actually meaning to, like, pull the body weight and move around?

No, she's not even that heavy.

So what does Pulling her weight mean?

It just means to share whatever the share of work that they've given her.

She supposed to start working on it.

She has to make sure that she's toe, understand?

She cannot be flunky anymore.

She cannot, um, fool around anymore.

She has to start doing her work.

All right, here.

What are they going to do?

They are going to de motor now, guys, what is demoted?

Demoting something.

It's the opposite of promotion.

Now, promotion is just going up the scale.

This is just going down the skills.

So demote her right to Ah, go, fern.

What is a go for?

It means a person who just runs errands and who was made to go from one place to another in the office to do something that is not at all that important.

So she would be asked to go get coffee or give that paper to someone or submit that, but work off no importance, right?

Run to go for means someone who runs errands, right?

Not only that, they're gonna make her work.

Graveyard to now kinds.

What is a graveyard?

Do you know what?

Um, it's a vase.

Carrie, please.

First of all.

I personally don't enjoy being around.

I'm sure none off you do.

But a normal working hours are 9 to 5.

Yeah, acceptable.

But usually when you talk about graveyard, don't you imagine, like a 12 in the, you know, 12 at midnight or two after midnight, which is a scary our exactly so late night graveyard means late night.

There you go.

I said it.

And these timings are usually really bad.

They are, um, post midnight.

They could be 12 a.m. to 7 a.m. In the morning.

That's really crazy, guys.

Nobody wants that.

Then I said to her that you better get cracking now.

Get cracking or pulling her weight are in the same way.

It's just that I mean will, right, So get cracking.

Means nothing.

But again, start working.

Okay, Get to work.

Start working.

It's one and the same.

It's just two different ways to say the same thing.

Or those slave drivers.

Now, I too I'm saying the same thing that she has said here, but in a different way, right?

The bigwigs, She said it in a nice way.

And when I talk about slave driver, I talk about mean bosses, right?

Mean bosses, bosses who trouble their employees, right?

I really hope that you don't have mean bosses around you.

Well, her mean bosses are gonna can her for sure.

Can is nothing but a short form off cancel.

And can you for sure, can hope for sure means nothing but fire.

She would get fired.

That means she get laid off.

She would lose her job.

You guys on dhe you she would have to pound the pavement again.

So when you imagine this phrase, you know, pounding some pavement, which means getting back to square one starting to look for another job.

Okay, Pounding the pavement means looking four, uh, new job, which is a task in itself.

Okay.

The very troublesome task to go through the whole process all over again.

And this was a conversation that took place between the both of us.

She shared certain details, which I thought was so funny, yet so serious because they were about her work and I gave her my sheriff.

I'd wise.
