Description:

Is Linus serious when he calls people out for hoarding tech gear during Tech Makeovers? Turns out... kind of. He opens up about staff “borrowing” LTT gear, why Bridget probably broke the record for most items taken home, and why it’s actually a good thing when employees wear and test Creator Warehouse products.

Video Transcription

Speaker 2

Linus, you make such a big deal about finding stuff from the office at the tech makeovers.

Is that just for the lols?

Or are you legitimately calling out your people?

He's livid.

Why not both?

Speaker 1

He's livid.

Speaker 2

I definitely there are definitely cases where people really aren't supposed to have stuff and I really do find stuff that they're really not supposed to have and they really do need to bring it back.

But in general, I don't think that I am a particularly draconian like company owner.

and if the occasional cable that especially because a lot of the time it's with people who kind of need to have stuff at their house to like do stuff off hours or you know whatever else like if if or that they brought home for a work from home station they just like kind of forgot about i'm not the kind of person that's going to be like well that's a citation you know like we can have a friendly conversation about how oh actually we updated that policy and you actually aren't really allowed to do that anymore and that's fine um

And in the case of...

I think Bridget actually probably broke the record for the most things.

I mean, that makes sense, though.

I mean, because she seems like such a thefty person, or... No.

It's her job.

Because she's the head of fashion, and so as part of her job, she actually...

brings home for feedback and wear testing and long-term evaluation a lot of CW product.

Which you want her to do.

And I even told her this.

I don't think it made it to on camera, but honestly, I would have been more disappointed in her if she and her husband didn't wear our merchandise.

I don't think you should force all the executives at Ford to drive Fords.

Ideally, you should be proud of what you made.

But you'd be pretty damn excited if...

Speaker 1

If they chose to drive Fords.

Was that a specific reference?

Because the CEO doesn't drive a Ford?

I don't know.

No.

He doesn't.

Yeah, that makes sense.

He drives some Chinese-made car.

I don't remember which one.

Speaker 2

Yeah.

So that's the thing.

Our products should be good enough that everyone from our CEO to...

literally the the person who just started their first day should be proud and comfortable to wear them um and anything other than that is not good enough so so yeah no i i i told her i would have been i would have been much more upset if she hadn't taken anything she has one of the luxe backpack prototypes in a different color and she was like i i can justify this i can justify this

You took one, Yvonne took one, and I took one for long-term testing.

I'm not done testing it.

Speaker 1

She's a hoot, Bridget.

Long-form apple leather test or whatever.

Nice.
