  • Commit to the Bit
    Nov 18 2024

    This week took some turns... It all started because Sam put himself on a budget. From trips to target and their monetary value - to job hunting in Australia (thank you to our Australian listeners!!!) to bear attacks in Colorado... We hope you commit to the bit!

    The bear attack article can be found here: https://www.workingmanlaw.com/blog/workers-compensation-and-injury-info/workers-comp-bear-attack-at-work/

    The Craigslist stuff can be found if you search Craigslist Jobs in Sydney Australia.

  • Down the Reddit Hole: Above and Beyond
    Nov 11 2024

    Honey, there's an app called Reddit and we are taking a deep dive into Reddit's werkplace horror stories. Also, Sam saw the Mariah Carey Christmas Show and you have to hear what it was like from his firsthand account tbh. The Hollywood Bowl has table service and convenient shuttles for arrival and departure. And while Sam still hates it there, he admits those are nice things.

    There are no links this week, dive down the Reddit hole yourself, and see what all the fuss is about.

  • Labor Day (but make it day after)
    Sep 4 2024

    We hope you had a relaxing Labor Day (or a relaxing double paycheck). Thank you to labor unions and other organizers who have done so much to bring worker's rights -- if this podcast has taught us anything it's that we also, still, have so much more to do. Thank you, so so SO much for rolling with us!

    A correction to this episode: In this episode, co-host Sam mentions Michelle McNamara’s death was due to a cancer illness and this is incorrect.
