Comedian Lisa Beasley is making people squirm on TikTok with her character‚ Corporate Erin. Erin is a parody of the typical corporate employee in America‚ complete with her corporate accent‚ corporate gulp and mastery of corporate jargon.She even has the perfect corporate job title: The manager for the managerial logistics of management at McManagement.In her videos‚ Erin talks at you in your “one-on-one” meeting while clutching her coffee cup for dear life‚ uncomfortably gyrating in her chair and adjusting her glasses. Erin has the unique ability to talk at length using corporate word salad while saying absolutely nothing. But she definitely wants to circle back with you to be sure you have the deliverables for the rollout. Okayyyyyy?In this video with over 9 million views‚ Erin explains how she has taken over her creator’s feed because she doesn’t have the “bandwidth.” @lisabevolving Hi‚ #CorporateErin here taking over social media for Lis. If you have any questions regarding my new position‚ please follow up with me in the comments. Im only here to do whats best for the business. Beasley described the thrust of the Erin character to the Huffington Post. “There’s also just kind of a layer of passive aggressiveness as well‚ and defensiveness and just kind of always making sure that I’m drilling home my points or my objectives‚” Beasley said.The videos are all too real for many people who follow Beasley on TikTok.“This is SPOT ON. The corporate accent‚ the nonsense‚ the talking for 30 min and saying nothing‚” one commenter said. “You encounter a version of me in every workplace‚” Beasley‚ as the Erin character‚ told 13 News.It looks like we’ve finished this a bit early‚ so we’ll give you your minute back.

Back in September of 2023‚ the family of Tyler Chase received the tragic news that the 22-year-old had died of a drug overdose. As told by several news outlets‚ the Multnomah County Medical Examiner’s Office of Portland‚ Oregon had found Chase’s wallet and used the temporary license‚ which had his name but no photo‚ at the scene‚ which they used to identify the body. They then showed up to the family’s home with a death certificate and an urn holding the young man’s ashes. Or so they thought. In actuality‚ Chase was very much alive. As KGW News reported‚ Chase had been receiving treatment for drug addiction at a recovery program at the time his family had been told he passed. Having been estranged from his family for several years prior‚ he hadn’t considered reaching out‚ and had no idea a mistake had been made until he had issues getting his food assistance benefits. “I go to DHS‚ and they asked me to enter my social security and everything‚ and they were like ‘alright we’ll see if we can help you fix this‚’” Chase told KPTV. “And then all of the sudden they start interrogating me and were like ‘Oh can we see your ID?’ So I gave it to them and then they just looked as confused as I was and they’re like ‘right here it says you are dead.’”As for how the mix-up happened‚ the Medical Examiner’s Office suspects that the man who actually died from an overdose must have met Chase at the recovery center‚ where he stole his wallet. “So‚ they find a paper ID of me that’s smudged and everything and they were like ‘that’s Tyler John Chase‚’ so they put him down as me‚” Chase recalled. “And then they notified the family like protocol.”Understandably‚ after hearing the news that Chase was‚ in fact‚ alive‚ months after being declared dead (he even FaceTimed them to prove it) and that they had been holding onto a complete stranger’s ashes‚ Chase’s family was stunned‚ to say the least. "I just lost it‚" shared Latasha Rosales‚ Chase's cousin. "It is so hard to believe how something like this could even happen. It just makes no sense to me."But as the office explained to KGW News‚ most medical examiner’s offices do not have viewing rooms for families to come and identify the body‚ like we typically see on television. Instead‚ families “view their loved one and confirm their identity at the funeral home making the arrangements."When Chase's family had to decline viewing the body prior to cremation‚ the office only had the temporary ID to go off of. This is why‚ after apologizing to Chase and his family for the mistake‚ the medical examiner’s office promised to launch a “comprehensive review” of its current practices in order to implement a policy change on its investigations. One of those future changes will be requiring fingerprints to be submitted for identification when a body is found with a temporary ID.Though the correct identity of the deceased man was eventually found‚ the family asked to keep the information private.Being mistakenly declared dead is a very rare occurrence. But when it happens‚ it can wreak havoc on financial resources like health insurance and credit cards. And getting the mistake corrected is a lengthy process. According to a statement given to NBC Washington by the Social Security Administration‚ less than one-third of 1 percent of the millions of deaths reported each year are actually corrected.Hopefully Chase is able to get back to normal faster than most‚ and his family is able to come together after such an ordeal.

House fires are devastating for families. In a matter of minutes‚ you could lose all of your belongings and a place to live‚ or worse‚ you could lose loved ones. A family in Phoenix‚ Arizona‚ recently found themselves facing the reality of their own home in flames. Claudia Jimenez told CBS News that she woke up trapped in her burning apartment with her two daughters‚ with nothing to do but yell for help in the hopes that someone would hear her.The mom's screams were answered by Joe Hollins‚ a homeless man who was camping nearby with his wife. Hollins didn't hesitate to try to find a way to help. With no way out and the fire department still nowhere on the scene‚ Jimenez had to trust the stranger who was standing below."He was right underneath and he was like 'Yes‚ throw your daughters out‚ I'm going to catch them‚ I'm going to get them‚'" Jimenez told CBS. So the terrified mom did what any mom would've done to save her babies—she tossed them one at a time out the window. And just as he'd promised‚ Hollins caught them. Valerie‚ who is just a year old‚ was dropped to safety first‚ then 8-year-old Natalie made the two-story fall into Hollins' arms. The family dogs were next out the window before it was time for Jimenez to make the jump. After some coaxing‚ the mom made the leap‚ and Hollins again made the catch‚ saving everyone in the house. When everything was said and done‚ Hollins saved the entire family and the dogs. Soon after Jimenez jumped to safety‚ the fire department showed up to put out the blaze. Multiple families lost their home that night‚ but thanks to Hollins‚ the Jimenez family didn't lose their lives. In an effort to help Hollins after saving this family‚ a GiveSendGo was created and people can donate here. A GoFundMe was also created for the young mom and her daughters‚ and people who would like to help can do so by donating here.If you ask the hero‚ he's no hero at all. He told CBS News that anyone in his shoes would've done the same thing. Hollins was in the right place at the right time‚ and because of his willingness to help‚ he saved an entire family.
