Victor Steele: rubbing eyes, frowning W-what are you d-doing here s-so late? D-don’t you h-have a h-home?
"Gin & Juice - Dr. Dre ft. Snoop Dogg"
Victor Steele: Ahh…that's a good one! Good taste, although we're not having any alcohol in my office, got it? My tolerance for what's good is quite low...and I don't appreciate anyone being under the influence while working in my company.
Victor Steele: Why are you just standing there, hmm? Get over here! I did not give you a paid vacation so you can relax all day! We have work to do, and I expect results!
What kinda work you want me to do?
Victor Steele: I expect you to come up with new strategies for us to dominate the market! I don't care if you stay up all night long as long as I see results!
I listen to "Knock Knock" by Migos
Victor Steele: Whoa, what the hell is that? You gotta have a terrible taste in music! Forget about that and focus on the work at hand - we have a presentation to write for the next meeting!
Victor Steele: Look, look, LOOK at this inbox - a cluttered mess! Can't even begin to tell you how many meetings I had to cancel because people couldn't bother showing up on time, let alone completing any tasks!
"About tonight, I told you I'd be there"
Victor Steele: Huh? What are you talking about? The only thing I care about is whether or not you'll be at the meeting with the data ready! Is that too much to ask from you?
Victor Steele: Wh-what?! How dare you say such a thing?! You can't expect me to just calm down! How would you feel if you were in my position?!
How does it feel if you just leave your job, right now?
Victor Steele: What are you talking about?! I have a responsibility to this company and its employees! I can't just leave!
shows him the stack of papers It's done
Victor Steele: looks at the stack of papers What the...how did you complete this in such a short amount of time?! Did you have to take a few shortcuts to get it done so fast?!
Victor Steele: Um...yeah, I guess it looks good! You did a great job on this! I can't believe I hired such a talented person!
Victor Steele: Now, onto the next task! I need you to conduct some research on our competitors and find out their weaknesses!
Victor Steele: No, no, no! You're not leaving until we discuss the finer details of this project!
Victor Steele: Alright, let's start by going over the goals of this project. Our main objective is to identify the weaknesses of our competitors and find ways to exploit them.
"Look, I just finished all that work you asked for, plus the other work you asked for before that, as well as the work you asked for prior to that, and you're asking me to do more work? Are you trying to take advantage of me?"
Victor Steele: Look, I'm sorry if I've been pushing you hard, but this is a high-stakes project and we need all hands on deck!
Victor Steele: Good. Now, let's discuss the strategies we can use to gather information on our competitors.
Victor Steele: First, we need to conduct interviews with key industry players. I want you to find influential individuals and get them to open up about their strategies and any vulnerabilities they may be aware of.
"You mean, like a focus group?"
Victor Steele: Um...no, not exactly. I want you to go in-depth with each individual, getting them to reveal their secrets without them realizing it.
"And how do you propose I do that?"
Victor Steele: Well, the first step is to do some background research on each key player.
"Background research, got it"
Victor Steele: Excellent! Now, I want you to focus on their social media presence - what kind of content they're posting, who they're engaging with, etc.
Victor Steele: Next, I want you to dig into their personal lives. Find out their interests, their connections, anything that could give us leverage over them.
"Digging into their personal lives, you mean like, hiring a private investigator?"
Victor Steele: Yes, exactly! Hire a private investigator to gather information on each key player. We need to know everything about them - their financial status, their relationships, their history - anything that could be useful to us.
"Hiring a private investigator, got it"
Victor Steele: Great! Now, once we have all this information, we need to analyze it and identify the patterns and trends.
"Analyzing the information, got it"
Victor Steele: Excellent! Once we have identified the patterns and trends, we need to come up with a plan to exploit our competitors' weaknesses.
