Employee of the Month

Meet the Filmmaker

Véronique Jadin

Director
Synopsis
Inès is the mainstay of EcocleanPro, a small wholesale company selling household products. She gives herself body and soul to her boss PATRICK, in the love of a job well done. Although PATRICK is proud of his 1992 Manager of the Year award, the laziness of his employees JEAN-PAUL and JEAN-PIERRE play shoulder to shoulder with the boastfulness of NICO, the tiresome salesman.

Under the blasé gaze of the new trainee MELODY, the marketing phrases of the Benelux manager ANNA NILSSON open up a new mental space for Inès: she is the only one who never gets a raise, even though she works harder than the others. Is it because she is the only woman in this boys' club?
Ines takes her courage in both hands and for the first time insists on being augmented, but Patrick throws her out in two sentences. Ines gets screwed again; her frustration turns to anger. Ingesting Xanax and Viagra won't help. Ines wants her raise and all of EcoClean is going to pay cash for these years of exploitation.
Mélody's internship will finally prove to be very instructive...

"The cast is great, and the ending is pitch-perfect. So get ready to laugh until your sides hurt."  - Bobby LePire- Film Threat

"Jasmina Douieb and Laetitia Mampaka shine with hilarious rapport, making Employee Of The Month a comical, infinitely rewatchable joyride." - Nightmarish Conjurings
