MY EX-BOSS FINAL BOSS focuses on workers' rights in the Norwegian hospitality industry. Based on my experience, I invite visitors to be part of the situations I encountered and confront the morphed Final Boss. Thirsty? Too bad. Your seven-minute break in the basement is over now. For your information, we deduct half an hour from your salary every day anyway. A break is a break, even if it's divided into two or three parts to take a moment and drink or eat something. What are you doing? You are not supposed to sit. Shhh, don't complain here; there are mics around, and he is recording everything. What do you mean by two hundred and seven days of delay? I have told him that we will take the case to the conciliation board (forliksrådet) at the police if the company does not pay; he says he hasn't heard anything from you. I know that's not correct since you have sent several emails. I promise you I will not waste the opportunity, and I will invest my money wisely. We have a very strong belief in our concept and would love to keep serving sustainable organic food without the killing of animals to as many people as possible. We are truly sorry that the salaries paid out today are not the full salary. You need to smile more. Alright, she can go, I promised her. What did you promise? She can go to the toilet now, and the same applies to you. You should always ask for permission; I'm your boss. Have you discussed unionizing during the last staff meeting? Well, the reason for termination is that we feel that you do not fit the profile we need in the business. Family food is ready!
