I Hear You

A belligerent boss berates his employees and struggles with his marriage and hearing-impaired son, but after he is caught pilfering from the company, the threat of losing his career is rectified by a most unlikely source.

Martin is a despicable boss, and his three employees dislike working for him. When he is transferred to a new position , his employees are moved to a new location and work for an ideal supervisor who makes them managers of their own product lines.

Their good fortune does not last, as the new boss is promoted to another assignment, and Martin is relocated to be their boss again. A fourth employee in the new group, Brad, suggests that Janie try to find another position away from Martin, but when the job is about to be offered, Martin refuses to let her go.

Roselyn berates her husband, Martin, for taking their three-year old son, Andy, out to the garage with his loud music and the roar of his motorcycle engine. Then Roselyn is in an accident with Andy in the car, and the advancing vehicle strikes the rear passenger side with a loud crash where Andy sits in his car seat.

The couple notice that Andy isn’t responding when talking to him, and learn that he has a collapsed ear drum that requires surgery. The couple frequently argues and blame each other for Andy’s broken ear drum.

Roselyn answers an unsolicited call from a girl claiming that Martin is the father of her unborn child. Martin is eventually able to obtain DNA test results for both he and the girl to prove that he isn’t the father. Andy’s ear surgery is successful, and Roselyn and Martin’s marriage begins to mend.

Janie is given the responsibility of the financial records for their department. She consults with the divisional Financial Manager, Paul, and they strike up a personal relationship and later marry.

Janie has a hobby of handwriting analysis, and Alex has taken up counseling in the evening for a crisis call center. Martin ends up counseling with Alex, but while going over department expenses, Janie finds that Martin is forging signatures to pilfer money from the department.

Because of Janie’s dislike for him, she wants to turn him in and ruin his career. She shares this with Paul and Alex, and while neither deter her from turning him in, she comes up with ways to restore the money with fund raising, and Martin’s career is saved.

Martin turns his life around and improves his relationships with people. He attends Janie and Paul’s reception, and Janie scolds him about his past behavior. Martin responds with “I hear you, I hear you. And Andy hears you too.”
