Most workers have something they want to say to their boss but can’t because they’re afraid of getting fired. A TikTok comedian has come up with a funny answer to this problem by offering to go to people’s jobs and tell off their bosses for them.
Calimar White (@calimar_white) uses the name Agent Ratliff online and created a fake company called OCDA. The letters stand for Occupational Cares Diversity Affairs. People can visit his website to write down their complaints about their supervisors, and then White shows up at their job to say everything they wanted to say.
As per Fast Company, White told an interviewer how it all works. “People go to my website and they file a complaint about their boss or their supervisor, anything like that,” he explained. “We show up to the job and we cuss their ass out.” He promised that no one will know who sent in the complaint and that he will repeat their words exactly as written.
It’s not what you think it is
OCDA looks like a real business with its own website where you can send in complaints for $5.99. But the whole thing is just a comedy skit. White is actually a comedian who made up this company to make funny videos. Even though it’s fake, a lot of people seem to wish it was real.
White’s videos have become hugely popular online. His TikTok posts get millions of views. In the videos, he dresses up in business clothes and walks into workplaces to read complaints out loud to surprised managers. The complaints usually include curse words and very specific things employees don’t like about their bosses.
Taking the joke this far has gotten White into trouble before. He told a podcast that the FBI arrested him once when he went to film at a company. He spent almost a month in jail because of it. “I think comedy is more dangerous than rap,” White said about his experience.
A lot of workers seem to connect with what White is doing. His website says the company works on “addressing complaints to create better work environments” and uses the phrase “Real Company Real Complaints” everywhere. But really, White just wants to make people laugh by acting out the fantasy that many workers have about telling their boss exactly what they think.
