The Bread Show is on fread's Biggest Stories of the Day.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Nate Texten said, being an actual nice guy's is something
you try, it's something you are. I don't know about that,
because I think there are men that are capable of
being nice, people who have become conditioned to believe that
if they're not that nice, then they have a better
success rate. And then I think there's such a thing
as being a decent person who tries really hard and
(00:26):
puts a lot of effort forth and then it backfires.
And so the problem is you do that once in
the wrong situation, and then you start to begin or
once or twice and you sort of begin like to
feel that that's not what people want because you've had
more success being a loof, And then there you go.
It's picking your spot. But I said, gud, I'm just
not sure if guys always pick their spot. They'll try
one time, you know, bring flowers and open doors and
(00:49):
pick people up, and then that happens to be not
the right person, and then it's like, see that doesn't work,
and then I'll just be aloof, you know, with more people,
and then that tends to work. But again, now for
the right reasons, because the pe people are like, well,
why doesn't he like me more? Why is he doing
this and that? And then I don't know, it's like
this false sense of all they're really trying to do
is make sure that they wind up with the upper
(01:10):
hand or vice versa. It's a game. It's a game,
and so I think you find the right person and
then it all clicks and that's great, But how long
does that take a long time? I guess, well, yeah,
we hit a lot of drug dealers to find a hobby.
That's what they say. It's a hallmark guard many guys.
It's June, which means lots of exciting things. It's Pride month, guys,
(01:32):
It's Father's Day month, It's Flag Day month Juneteenth, and
Summer Solstice, which is the day with the most sunlight
of the year. We have all of that to look
forward to this month, you guys. The NBA Playoffs, the
Indiana Pacers had defeated the New York Knicks. Where's Steven A. Smith?
Is he? Okay? He's on a fifty one fifty watch
(01:53):
right down to advance to the NBA Finals taking on
the Oklahoma City Thunder. Talk about two cities that are excited.
Indianapolis versus Oklahoma City, it could have been what could
it have been? It could have been Boston, The Knicks
could have been in this thing. The big market teams,
it could have been in this thing. And the NBA
(02:13):
is probably ecstatic. Two of our smallest markets battling it out.
But both teams are really good. It's gonna be exciting.
So Thursday, the NBA Finals began. Police rescued a two
year old child who got on a check bag conveyor
belt system at Terminal A at Newark Liberty Airport. The
boy's mother was talking to an agent behind the Jet
Blue counter when the child walked behind the counter and
(02:35):
got on the conveyor belt. The belt leads into a
shoot and then into the terminal's luggage screening system, which
is exactly where the titdler plunged. Two officers sprung into
action immediately and went to either side of the shop.
One of the officers able to grab the child off
the belt and pull them to safety before reaching the
X ray machine. The child wasn't injured in the incident.
Don't say you've never thought about that at the airport,
jumping on that conveyor belt riding around? See what's behind
(02:58):
those like plastic each that stick down? You know what
I mean? Like you know the ones who like their wavy.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
Little split sheet?
Speaker 4 (03:04):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Car wash? Yeah, carwash? Like what's back there? What's going
on back there? Watch your kid at the airport though,
playing around like it's some kind of jungle jym. Have
you ever considered what happens to all of the stuff
on your phone, all of the stuff on your computer
when you die? No? I haven't thought about it. You've
never considered this. All your TikTok content? Who owns that?
(03:27):
Any music? Anything else on your phone? You've never thought
about that?
Speaker 3 (03:31):
Car masters?
Speaker 2 (03:33):
Who owns your masters? Yeah? Have you ever thought about
what happens to your online life after you log off
for good? Aka you're dead? A recent study highlights that
most of us will leap behind a massive digital legacy
when we passed away. We're talking about thousands of photos,
social media posts, emails, even digital currency. In fact, the
average person shares over a third of their life online,
(03:54):
leaving behind nearly ten thousand photos and ten thousand social
media posts. That a plan, all that content could be
lost or inaccessible to your loved ones. Experts are recommending
today that you set up digital wills designated legacy contacts
on platforms like uh, Facebook and Google, or you should
designate them and using password managers to ensure that your
(04:15):
digital assets are handled according to your wishes. No, it's okay.
You don't need my passwords, like I guess something happens
to me, I go bye bye, Like, we don't need it.
You don't need to get on my computer. You don't
need to be looking at Wait, it's not necessary.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
What's inside?
Speaker 4 (04:29):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Well I don't know. Do you want someone? Can I
go through your computer right now?
Speaker 3 (04:34):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (04:34):
I can look at your search history. Oh, I can
look at I can look all through your photos.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
Yes, you know, I tell you everything, like literally, good,
don't you have little.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Nudy dudies in there and stuff you don't want people
to see?
Speaker 3 (04:44):
Just keep those first of all, and not you.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
Don't store them anywhere? No? Hell no, Oh, I think
you're in the minority. I think people store the good ones.
And you know how I feel about this, and they
recycle that.
Speaker 5 (04:54):
I don't like keeping that stuff on my technology, so no,
go for it.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
Wow? Yeah, yeah, I mean I think I'm the same
way but I at the same time, I just we
don't need to. We don't. I'm not around to provide context,
especially with this job, the stuff that I've googled. Anytime
I have any question in my mind, I google it,
which is not always a good thing. So like, if
you were to look at some of my Google searches,
you might be like, well, why was he googling that?
(05:20):
Maybe I was watching a TV show I didn't know. Maybe,
but but you're not there to be like, why did
you google that? You know? And for me to be
able to tell you, so I'm gone to context is lost.
So no, you do not need to see what's going
Looking at my phone or my computer is almost like
looking at my brain, and no one needs to be
able to see that movie.
Speaker 6 (05:38):
I love me.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
Yeah, we know you.
Speaker 5 (05:40):
I think enough to think like, Okay, well he was
watching this movie or maybe he's like a free in
the morning he had a random thought.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
Caylen knows that I google the weirdest things.
Speaker 5 (05:47):
I for you in morning? Is Jesus a carpenter? Look,
that was a thought that I had one time.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
What are your friends? She had to tell you?
Speaker 3 (05:53):
I want to say he was was he? I think
his father was Joseph as well. Joseph was so I
got the two confused a family business. I wasn't really sure.
So I how to dissect that family business?
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Yeah, Jesus God and sons carpentry. Yeah, money back guaranteed. Jason.
Would you want anyone going through your stuff once you're gone?
You're that what is that thing over to that that
I think Pat the company gave you? Yeah, I mean
honestly yeah.
Speaker 7 (06:22):
I mean if you could even figure out how to,
you know, work this thing, then I think I'm good.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Whatever you want, I think I'm good. It's just whatever
I put up there, I approved. It would be like
it's like if you're an artist, like when Prince died.
Prince died, and then they went into Paisley Park and
they found the safe full of all this work, all
this stuff that he never released because he had a
studio in his house. It was constantly recording stuff. And
then you know, his family's like, oh good, we're gonna
(06:48):
inventory this and we're gonna we're gonna release all which
I don't even know if they've done it yet, but
for a while that was they hired someone to archive
at all and manage it and look at what it
all was. They were going to release him, and you
know what, if you want it released, he might have
released it, but he didn't, and so he died, and
I think it sadly, I think it dies with him
because maybe whatever that stuff is doesn't represent him, or
(07:09):
who knows. He don't want it out there, so I don't.
I'm gone and you can just throw my stuff away.
It's over. You don't need to go through it now.
I guess what do you do though, if you die
and then you need to get into someone's bank account.
I guess that's you have to like provide birth certificates
and or death certificates, and you have to be able
to prove the person's dad. Yet, I would assume if
there's a will, then if you're the beneficiary or you're
(07:30):
the executor, then you would have access to all of that.
So you don't need my password. You can go to
the bank and you can file paperwork and then they'll
give you what little money I have.
Speaker 5 (07:38):
I'll make sure there's money in there. My sister had that.
That was a fun time she went in there.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
It wasn't a dollar lesson.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Yeah, well, you know, dad, she was like, ah, yes,
college loans erased, you would.
Speaker 5 (07:52):
Think at least a little something to take care of me,
and well take care of my sister. She's going to
college at that time, exactly Pennsylvania, you know, expenses planes.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
But that's another thing. Let's say you win into someone's
uh phone or computer or into their like secret folder
on their on their computer, and then you realize you
learn things about them that they were into or that
they had done that you never knew and never would
have known, and then it changes the way you think
about them. So can't people's private computer be private forever?
Speaker 3 (08:20):
I feel like it's all up to the person.
Speaker 8 (08:21):
But I do think we need to start thinking about
a digital plan after you die, because I've seen people
die and then the last post on their Facebook was
like shout out to Big Booty Keisha, you know, like
we turned out, and it's like, I don't.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Want that to be the last thing that he was
happy or she was happy on their way with Big
Booty Keisha.
Speaker 8 (08:40):
Let me rest you, no, I need like give me
a I think I'm gonna prepare like a final post.
So when I go, Jason gonna go in there, make
just hit posts on this final post.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
Richard Simons did that, didn't you? Like I think his
family released something that he wrote or somebody did, you know?
Speaker 1 (08:54):
I think that's fine, like hit sund when I'm ready, right, Yeah,
I guess we won't.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
Go through your don't worry again.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
I mean, I'm dead, so I mean, who cares.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
But we're not like judging.
Speaker 5 (09:04):
We know you, so we're not really judging what you're
searching unless it was like how do I kill my coworkers?
Speaker 9 (09:08):
You know?
Speaker 3 (09:09):
Other than that, I'm like.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Well I haven't. I haven't searched that in several days,
so you'd have a hard time fighting it. No, I
don't think. I don't think i'm a good example because
I mean you're right, like I don't have secrets, like
I just I just say everything.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
But don't you want to know?
Speaker 2 (09:23):
To my detriment sometimes.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
Like what's up y'all? This phrase? So I'm dead? Yeah,
I did ahead, and Dad, that's crazy, I.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
Did go ahead and I yeah, And then what else
would it since you're being mean? Now, what's telling y'all?
It's Fred? What else would he say?
Speaker 3 (09:36):
Like I'm dead? That's crazy?
Speaker 8 (09:38):
But you know, shout out to the dogs, you know,
I'm up here with a lot of dogs that I
rescue and stuff.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
I'd better be Yeah, and then like every one of
them damn dogs better meet me in heaven.
Speaker 4 (09:46):
Right.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
They might be the only ones, but every one of
them that are beat me in heaven.
Speaker 4 (09:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
You could, you know, do one last you know is
waiting about the phone. You could do whatever you want.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
You could do it last waiting. But because that's what
my legacy is doing, it probably is. Honestly, remember that
guy that used to do that thing with the dates.
Remember him, what was his name?
Speaker 3 (10:02):
Bob Ed the whole intro.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Off the dome. Yeah, oh yeah, I trust me if
this company has anything to do with it. If I
were to die that you'd probably never stop hearing waiting
by the phone. They would just use a little AI
machine to make it sound like me. It might even
be better. Oh and I remember back in the day.
Remember this is why so many decades ago, maybe a
decade ago, when you used to have to download the
(10:27):
music that you wanted off iTunes and then you technically
owned it. I remember there were conversations about that. It
was if I have a hard drive full of music,
because back in the day, I know this is gonna
be hard people to believe. Back in the day, you
didn't stream the song. You had to spend ninety nine
cents to buy the song you wanted, unless you had
the illegal stuff the LimeWire or the napster or whatever.
(10:49):
And then and then it was on your hard drive
and so you had to like transfer it from device
to device as opposed to now you can just stream
it online. So there was a big conversation about, well,
who owns that? Like if I die and I spent
ten thousand dollars on songs, then should I get to
pass that on to somebody? Well, it turned out, if
you look very carefully, all you did was lease the
(11:09):
song for your life. So then when your dad, technically
no one owns it anymore. That's how it used to be.
Now you don't have to worry about it anymore. But yeah,
back in the day, because that was a whole conversation
was like, well, if I spent twenty five grand collecting
every Beatles song and every this and that and whatever,
and I bought all that, well then who gets it? Nobody?
Nobody gets it, I guess, And are you ready for
(11:30):
the latest at work trend? It's called ghost working. I mean,
how many, how many weeks? How many different versions of
not working? But making people believe that I mean, and
then people want to know why they get fired. It's like, well,
because you pridefully have been telling everyone about this thing
(11:51):
that you're doing called ghost working. Move over, quiet quitting.
Now we have ghost working. That's the practice of looking
busy in the office by carrying around prop notebooks, scheduling
fake meetings, or just typing random words. According to a
new survey from resume Now whatever that is, fifty eight
percent of employees admit to the practice regularly, perhaps an
(12:13):
outgrowth of anxiety over job security, the rise of AI
and recession fears. One expert says the workforce is currently
under immense pressure to appear productive. How about just be
productive please? I mean, if you're worried about AI taking
your job, then wouldn't now be the time to make
it look like you can do better than AI as
opposed to pretending to work. I think a lot of
(12:34):
people around here do that.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
By the way, I was gonna say, that's not new.
Speaker 5 (12:36):
I feel like I've seen notebooks in people's hands and
iPads and.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
A lot of ghost working, a lot of ghost working.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
Open it now right in the love let me see
that skin now, show skins.
Speaker 5 (12:49):
But the way that I'm picking that story up or
that I'm thinking of it is that, like I don't know,
maybe they're trying to look more busy, like they're working,
but they're trying to be like no, like a I
can't do this, They can't pull off.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
A note can schedule a meeting with us today?
Speaker 6 (13:01):
Right?
Speaker 2 (13:01):
Well, this is this is exactly not no, This is
exactly the opposite. This is not working but making it
look like you are yes' because I'm out.
Speaker 8 (13:09):
Look, if you want to do ghost working, do your thing.
I'm not I'm not a hater, but don't involve me.
I hate the person who is ghost working and then
involves everybody else.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
So like I got to come to your fake meeting
or I have to.
Speaker 8 (13:22):
You're sending me random emails about nothing, like why do
why do I have to play this game with you?
Just ghost work on your own, Like, don't involve me.
I don't want to work, so can you.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
You don't really hate it, You don't really like a
ghost worker. You are you? You would hate on a
ghost worker because you work really hard.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
And so it's like you said, I don't hate on
a ghost worker, but you do though, because it's like
you're not doing anything, like you're not you want us
to all to believe that your life is so hard,
and you know what else, you know, you know where
I find this happens. This tends to happen when everybody
around you is actually working their asses off, and then
it's like it's opposed to just working your ass off.
(13:59):
You just tell everybody how hard you're working and how
difficult your life is, and then you will become resentful
of you.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
Could happen absolutely, see.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
All, I got an idea, why don't you just make
yourself as actually as what Why don't you produce as
much as everybody else?
Speaker 5 (14:11):
And then you don't have to You shouldn't have to
say you work hard ever, Like it should just be
a parent like.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
But oh, come on, people do it. And everybody driving
to work right now in every workplace can think of
the person you're like, oh, I'm just so exhaustly hard.
It's like if you want to know you're right, and
the person that's talking is like, like I've never once
heard Jason Brown say that and Jason Brown works seventeen
hours a day. Never once heard him say that ghost working.
(14:39):
But then I think, may maybe you should consider it.
I'm want to send you all a bunch of emails
that makes no sense. It's a national Rotistory Chicken day, Rosari,
national Bubba Day, Bubba day. Hey, that's me, a national
leave the office early day, which is about to be me.
Because it's hard to ghost work when you have to talk, dude,
(15:00):
I can't. I wish they could. Well, I shouldn't wish
too much because they're probably working on the AI with
a fresh show. It's Kiki's court, all right. The Honorable
Kikilik is here. Judge Kiki, but I'm taking away. You
guys are the jury, by the way, eight five five
three five. I want to hear your thoughts after we
hear the case.
Speaker 8 (15:20):
I need them today because I'm torn. Let's get into
this court room. It says, am I wrong for reporting
my coworker for stealing food. I work at a mid
sized tech company with a decent cafeteria. Nothing fancy sandwiches, snacks, coffee,
but it's all paid for by our company. Well, a
month ago I started noticing food was going rather quickly
(15:43):
from our kitchen. Snacks will be put out at eight
am and completely gone before noon. It became a running
joke in the office. We called it the lunch room
bandit striking again. People were getting annoyed. Some brought it
up in meetings. HR sent the friendly reminder email, and
cameras were quietly installed near the break room, and we
were told it was just for safety reasons.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
Well, two weeks later.
Speaker 8 (16:06):
I walk into the kitchen and catch my coworker mid swipe,
taking a handful of sandwiches and chips, slipping it into
his backpack.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
I was shocked. He saw me.
Speaker 8 (16:17):
He froze, and then he muttered, it's not what it
looks like. I still decided to report it okay. Later
that day he was quietly escorted out by HR. However,
the next morning, I get an anonymous email with a
subject with no subject line, just a link. So I
clicked the link and it was a go fundme page. Well,
(16:37):
apparently my co worker had secretly been raising his thirteen
year old niece and sixteen year old nephew alone for
the last year after his sister died in a car accident.
According to this GoFundMe. She died with no insurance and
no help for the kids, leaving my coworker behind on rent,
barely affording groceries and sleeping on a couch so that
his niece and nephew can have a bedroom. One at
(17:00):
work knew about this. He never told us that he
was going through all of this. Well, the GoFundMe said
he didn't want to burden anyone and asking for help
by asking for help, so he tried to handle it
all by himself, and now because of me, he's unemployed.
Now my co workers are split. Some say I was
right to report him stealing and stealing. Others say I
(17:21):
destroyed a man who was trying to feed some kids.
HR said, hey, their hands are tied once it was
caught on video, and honestly, I don't know if I
would have done anything different, but I feel like garbage.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
Was I wrong?
Speaker 2 (17:33):
Man? Woo wow? He's five three five. You guys are
the jury, but you're the judge, judge, Kiki, what say you? Yo?
Speaker 8 (17:42):
I lost sleep over this one over the weekend because
I'm for real, for real torn, because on one hand, I'm
sometimes we need to mind our business, like sometimes we
needed they put cameras there to be the police. Why
did you share and feel the need to go be
the police?
Speaker 4 (17:57):
Right?
Speaker 2 (17:58):
You know, you know what, you didn't pay for this stuff.
It's not your stuff. I mean, yeah, it sucks that
it's a perk that's not available to you because it's
all gone. But at the same time, like, who are
you to complain about?
Speaker 8 (18:08):
I mean, you know, But then it's like, I mean
you are still like it's so sad because now this
man has no job and he's trying to take care
of these two kids who have lost their mother.
Speaker 3 (18:20):
Okay, and Sharon, you didn't, oh.
Speaker 8 (18:22):
God, but Sharon thought she was doing the right thing
at the time. So it's like, what do you do
if you see your cowork and steal it from work?
I mean people steal paper.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
You know, Pam.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
I'm not saying a word. No, I'm staying out of it.
Unless you're doing something that's like harmful to others something yeah, right, yeah,
like I don't know if you're selling company secrets or something.
I mean, something that could affect the bottom line. That
could mean that a bunch of people, you know, lose
their jobs, or that the company closes or something. Something work.
(18:53):
Something's like really nefarious, I'm stealing sandwiches at work.
Speaker 8 (18:58):
Yeah, I mean yeah, but you go every time you
go to the breakroom, it's completely empty.
Speaker 3 (19:03):
There's not a snack.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
Well, that's just because they don't put anything there anymore.
Go there right now, that's because they cut a bunchet.
That's because we don't get to have nice things anymore.
That's why that is.
Speaker 8 (19:15):
But it's like she feels as if she lost this
man his job. But then on the other hand, he
kind of lost the job himself because he was stealing.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
Ray I asco.
Speaker 5 (19:24):
Are these like free snacks or is this like you
gotta pay in the jar?
Speaker 3 (19:28):
Like what's the deal with the snacks? It's all paid
for by the company, so it's free snacks.
Speaker 5 (19:32):
So he can't just say, oh, I wanted to eat
these doritos at home with my sandwich, Like sometimes I
all got to hear with the breakroom snacks because I'm
going to my car, but I still want to eat
my funions.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
I'm just really confused.
Speaker 5 (19:42):
So, yeah, why you're such a company girl that you
felt you felt the need to be the police of
the chips and the whatever, the crackers, whatever, the sandwich
is and now you.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
Kind of blew up this guy's life.
Speaker 3 (19:51):
Yeah, and those poor children.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
I mean, if a company cared enough to look into
it to catch him, I guess that's one thing that's
But like, as a coworker, I get that the stealing
is wrong, but it's also like, why are you such
a busybody? Like this was a perk, This wasn't owed
to you, right, and now this person's got much bigger
problems when you could have just minded your own business.
Speaker 3 (20:15):
It's so sad.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
I think you got to Hey, Brittany, I'm with you. You
got to mind your own business, right, Oh my god.
Speaker 4 (20:22):
So I get it, but like, yeah, it calls zero
dollars and takes zero minutes to mind your own essing business.
Speaker 6 (20:30):
Like, it's not that it's never.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
That serious, I promise you.
Speaker 4 (20:35):
Like you said, if he was like packing information and
you know, releasing like stuff like that, I get it.
Speaker 10 (20:42):
Well she needs somebod her business.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
Yeah yeah, I just I think, yeah, you got.
Speaker 4 (20:49):
To feed these kids. And well, one thing I always
say is you never know what people are going through. Yes,
So like if it is that serious that he's doing it.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
You never know. Now we should feel like absolute.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
Yeah, yeah, Brittany, thank you. Have a good day. Someone
tells you this is tough. The company who failed the guy, well,
I mean, I also don't know if the company failed
the guy because they may not have known the context either.
They're just looking at it, like why are you taking
all of the things that we're putting on for everybody.
I'm not sure if that's determinable offense. But we also
don't know anything else, like what's this dude on a performance?
Speaker 4 (21:27):
Thing?
Speaker 2 (21:27):
Was? Like, you know, who knows? Who knows if this
was the only reason why, Like we never tend to
have the whole story.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
Was he worn before or something right?
Speaker 2 (21:34):
Right? Like when people get let go, You know, we
oftentimes don't know everything that was involved. That being said,
if this was the final straw and it her busybody
as is the one that you know, like I just say,
out of it? Man, Hey Johnny, Hey, how you doing it? Hey? Man? Hey,
good morning. So you say they should have fired this guy,
My thing is is okay.
Speaker 10 (21:56):
So I'm part of a family business, okay, And if
we had employees stealing from their company, right, it wouldn't
make the company look good. Small theft, big theft. It
doesn't matter how you look at it. If they were
smart enough and they would have come forward, I guarantee
somebody in that in that office would have helped them
and would have offered groceries, would have done something better
(22:16):
than him stealing from a company that he worked for.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
Yeah, but it's.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
Not always like that. People don't want to put their
business out there too.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
Yeah, I mean right, like maybe he didn't. But there's
right and wrong.
Speaker 10 (22:26):
You know, there's right and wrong and there's they're stealing.
No matter how you look at it, Stealing is stealing.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
Stealing is a crime is a crime. But I don't know.
Speaker 5 (22:33):
I feel like this lady writing in probably wants to
take away free lunches for kids too.
Speaker 10 (22:36):
It's like, I get both sides of it. I do
understand both sides of it, but you have to realize,
you know, I'm also raising two boys. How would I
want my boys to act what I want my boys
to steal? Or would I want my boys to report
somebody's stealing so that that way they're they're.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
In the right. Yeah, you know what I mean? Yeah, Johnny,
thank you man. I have a good day. Umber of
text years saying like if she cared that much. Why
didn't she just go to him? You know, why didn't
she just go to him like, hey, look like I
see you taking all this stuff, like you know, I
don't get to eat it because you got it all
on your bag or whatever, like what's up with that?
And maybe he would have explained, and then maybe she
(23:14):
could have helped come up with a better solution for him.
Then again, it's also not her responsibility to come up
with a solution, but maybe she could have been like, wow, okay,
well I understand, like the let's come up with some
other resources or something, because if you do get caught,
you might get fired.
Speaker 8 (23:30):
Right now, she did catch him red handed in the
kitchen and he said, it's not what it looks like.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
But but it wasn't.
Speaker 3 (23:36):
That's all he said. Though she still report it.
Speaker 7 (23:39):
So why wasn't there a conversation there, like who just
says that? And then another interesting point is is it
stealing if it's free? Oh yeah, I mean it was
only free to you. It wasn't free to the company,
and it was a company benefit in for everybody to have.
Speaker 6 (24:02):
Sure, so.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
It is stealing because someone paid for it, you know.
On this whole thing with like and then there are
people going never side with the multi billion dollar company.
It's like, I mean, the multi billion dollar company is
still paying your bills. You still work there, they still
bought the sandwiches, They're still providing the work environment. Like
I don't understand that. It's like, well, we don't like
the billion dollar company. Well, the billion dollar company is
(24:26):
paying our bills, so I don't have to like everything
they do. But I don't own the billion dollar company,
so I don't get to tell them how to do things.
I can choose to walk away. I can choose to
get a job somewhere else in another multi billion dollar company.
Speaker 3 (24:37):
That happens every day.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
But you know, it's like, sorry, but this is I mean,
we live in a hierarchy. Guys, Like there's always going
to be an owner of the business and they're always
going to be employees, and some of us don't get
to be the owner. Sorry, hey Emily, Hey hi Emily.
So just to recap here at Kiky's Court, basically a
dude was stealing free lunch from work that they were
(25:00):
providing for the employees. It turned out that he may
have been stealing it was more than likely stealing it
because he was raising two kids at home that weren't
his and that he had nothing to do with, but
he didn't have any money and was trying to make
it work, but he wanted getting fired. Nonetheless, what do
you think?
Speaker 9 (25:16):
Okay, so two things like one, so my company gave
the snacks and lunch and stuff too, and I have
I openly admited my coworkers that I shake, you know,
steal extras and whatnot. But it's mostly because they were
going to expire and we have like a plusor us,
so opposite situation of we were not running low by
any means, but you know.
Speaker 6 (25:36):
Just.
Speaker 3 (25:39):
Your inventory.
Speaker 9 (25:41):
Well, I mean, I'm not being wasteful, right, I'm actually
saving the company money.
Speaker 3 (25:45):
Right yeah?
Speaker 2 (25:46):
Well wait, how are you? How are you saving the
company money? I'd like to hear more about that.
Speaker 9 (25:52):
I was just getting thrown away. I'm using I'm using
their money they've already spent.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
Yeah yeah, yeah, okay, well fair enough, thank you, Emily.
Speaker 3 (26:01):
I like how Emily thinks.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
See here we go in the text, people are going, well,
this billion dollar company is not paying a livable wage.
We don't know that, we don't know any of this.
We don't know maybe they're not maybe they're not paying
enough of a wage for him to support two kids,
but he didn't know he was gonna have to. I don't.
I don't know. There's a lot we don't know here.
You can't exactly just take, you can't exactly steal, you know,
(26:24):
And it sucks that this dude has an extenuating circumstance.
But you also, I guess I don't know why our
fellow employees are ratting each other out either, Like I don't.
I guess I would just look the other way and
be like, if you really feel the need to take
that many sandwiches home, there might my brain would go
to there might be something going on, like my brain
would would go, I mean, I guess it's one of
two things. You're either that greedy and that didn't consider it,
(26:48):
or you're taking the food because you need the food
and and and that to me, would that's I guess
I don't know the answer, So I would stay out
of it right now.
Speaker 5 (26:57):
What what's like the policy though, Like, don't companies have
policies where it's like some sign that says.
Speaker 3 (27:02):
One per person, don't take it out of the breakroom?
Speaker 2 (27:05):
Do they don't have that here. No, but we used
to have, you know, like a breakroom full of chips.
They didn't say anything. I mean, and you know what
they were people here that would probably take eight chips
in there, people here that didn't take any That's just
kind of how it goes.
Speaker 5 (27:15):
Yeah, some people want it, they don't want it. But
now I'm afraid leave the building with my chips.
Speaker 3 (27:19):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
I take dot came now. If we had them, i'd
be watching you. Maybe the reason we don't have it.
Speaker 3 (27:29):
I don't know what to do.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
It's like, look at you in your in, your in,
your in, your cheeto fingers over there. Hi, Darren, good.
Speaker 6 (27:37):
Morning to my number one morning show? How is everyone?
Speaker 2 (27:41):
Would that is a perfect way to start this call?
You are a sexy man? You, Darren?
Speaker 9 (27:46):
What do you think that?
Speaker 2 (27:47):
What's the what's your what are your thoughts on this?
Speaker 1 (27:50):
Well?
Speaker 6 (27:50):
You know, fred I could think of a couple of reasons,
from worldly to biblical reasons why she should not have
told on that man. It doesn't matter what the reason is.
World is speaking, you just snitches get stitches, just don't care. Yeah, Biblical,
biblically speaking, let he who's without seeing cast the first stone, Amen,
and you just you just can't do that to people.
(28:12):
That is between him and whatever he believes in, and
if he gets caught by the higher ups, then he
gets caught. It should not have been in your hands
to control that man.
Speaker 11 (28:23):
And that's exactly what you did. You control that man's life.
And now look at he's without a job. Uh, and
he has to support kids that otherwise he probably couldn't
have done. So, like I said, she should have kept
her mouth shut.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
Yeah, I'm with you Darren on that and a lot
of other issues that people that don't apply to people,
but they feel the need to insert themselves into. It's
like if you if it doesn't apply to you, or
you think it's wrong, then don't do it. And then
you don't. I guess you don't have a problem. But
then this extra step where I need to make sure
nobody else gets to do it either. It's necessary a
(28:57):
lot of times, Darren, it is. Yeah, Well, good death
a lot of reason there from Darren. Thank you man,
have a good day.
Speaker 6 (29:05):
You have a great deals will Yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
Siana, Hiiana, good morning, good morning. Hey you say report
this person? I do why.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
Because I actually have been a retail manager for a
multitude of years. And I will tell you whenever someone continuously,
you know, they get away with something and then they
continue to potentially steal HR sends out an email, chances
are there's something else that they're doing wrong. What else
(29:35):
is missing? You never know with an individual, So it
could very well potentially be I don't I don't know
what company this is. Maybe some other funds are going missing.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
Yeah, I do hate to say that because it could
be again I'm reaching here, but it could be a
slippery slope. And I don't know how much money this
represents to the company, this benefit they're providing. But if
you were to say this guy was stealing one hundred
bucks a day from the company or fifty bucks a day,
that right there, I think would resonate differently with people.
(30:05):
I think if you were to say this dude siphoning
off fifty bucks a day secretly from the company and
then it turns out to pay for these kids' food,
that's a noble cause. But the money, I think immediately
would be oh, terminate him, fire him. Done. Well, he
kind of is stealing money from the company, but in
the form of food. So why is one okay? And
(30:26):
the other one wouldn't be okay because I bet you
if you had said he's stealing fifty bucks a day,
one hundred percent of people would call up here and say, well,
you can't do that, right, And that's kind of what
he's doing, Tia exactly. Yeah, thank you so much, have
a good day.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
Yeah, I want to say, I love you guys, thank
you so much.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
Thank you, love you too, have a good day. And then, like,
I don't know. Again, I think I would do my
best to stay out of it because I really don't
like conflict and drama and I don't want to be bad.
But then what if you're on camera watching this. Okay,
I know I'm reaching again, but like you know, Devil's
advocate here, What what if they look into this and
they see your standing there too, and you didn't say anything, right,
(31:05):
because you know, we have to take that stupid training
every year where it's like basically we're supposed to turn
everybody in that we see doing anything that I was
supposed to be doing. Like if we see somebody, you know,
breaking company policy, we're supposed to tell the company.
Speaker 8 (31:17):
About it, right, Because now I can't get a raise
because you took seven sandwiches every day.
Speaker 3 (31:21):
That's why I can't get because you need paper. It's
your printer at home.
Speaker 8 (31:25):
So Jason walking out of here with plum bundles of
paper every day, Yes, you know that is crazy?
Speaker 2 (31:31):
You got that might Yeah, the amount a free postage
I've gotten out of this place over the years, it
might be the reason why none of us have gotten raised.
It's never mind. I'm going to terminate myself.
The Bread Show is on fread's Biggest Stories of the Day.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Nate Texten said, being an actual nice guy's is something
you try, it's something you are. I don't know about that,
because I think there are men that are capable of
being nice, people who have become conditioned to believe that
if they're not that nice, then they have a better
success rate. And then I think there's such a thing
as being a decent person who tries really hard and
(00:26):
puts a lot of effort forth and then it backfires.
And so the problem is you do that once in
the wrong situation, and then you start to begin or
once or twice and you sort of begin like to
feel that that's not what people want because you've had
more success being a loof, And then there you go.
It's picking your spot. But I said, gud, I'm just
not sure if guys always pick their spot. They'll try
one time, you know, bring flowers and open doors and
(00:49):
pick people up, and then that happens to be not
the right person, and then it's like, see that doesn't work,
and then I'll just be aloof, you know, with more people,
and then that tends to work. But again, now for
the right reasons, because the pe people are like, well,
why doesn't he like me more? Why is he doing
this and that? And then I don't know, it's like
this false sense of all they're really trying to do
is make sure that they wind up with the upper
(01:10):
hand or vice versa. It's a game. It's a game,
and so I think you find the right person and
then it all clicks and that's great, But how long
does that take a long time? I guess, well, yeah,
we hit a lot of drug dealers to find a hobby.
That's what they say. It's a hallmark guard many guys.
It's June, which means lots of exciting things. It's Pride month, guys,
(01:32):
It's Father's Day month, It's Flag Day month Juneteenth, and
Summer Solstice, which is the day with the most sunlight
of the year. We have all of that to look
forward to this month, you guys. The NBA Playoffs, the
Indiana Pacers had defeated the New York Knicks. Where's Steven A. Smith?
Is he? Okay? He's on a fifty one fifty watch
(01:53):
right down to advance to the NBA Finals taking on
the Oklahoma City Thunder. Talk about two cities that are excited.
Indianapolis versus Oklahoma City, it could have been what could
it have been? It could have been Boston, The Knicks
could have been in this thing. The big market teams,
it could have been in this thing. And the NBA
(02:13):
is probably ecstatic. Two of our smallest markets battling it out.
But both teams are really good. It's gonna be exciting.
So Thursday, the NBA Finals began. Police rescued a two
year old child who got on a check bag conveyor
belt system at Terminal A at Newark Liberty Airport. The
boy's mother was talking to an agent behind the Jet
Blue counter when the child walked behind the counter and
(02:35):
got on the conveyor belt. The belt leads into a
shoot and then into the terminal's luggage screening system, which
is exactly where the titdler plunged. Two officers sprung into
action immediately and went to either side of the shop.
One of the officers able to grab the child off
the belt and pull them to safety before reaching the
X ray machine. The child wasn't injured in the incident.
Don't say you've never thought about that at the airport,
jumping on that conveyor belt riding around? See what's behind
(02:58):
those like plastic each that stick down? You know what
I mean? Like you know the ones who like their wavy.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
Little split sheet?
Speaker 4 (03:04):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Car wash? Yeah, carwash? Like what's back there? What's going
on back there? Watch your kid at the airport though,
playing around like it's some kind of jungle jym. Have
you ever considered what happens to all of the stuff
on your phone, all of the stuff on your computer
when you die? No? I haven't thought about it. You've
never considered this. All your TikTok content? Who owns that?
(03:27):
Any music? Anything else on your phone? You've never thought
about that?
Speaker 3 (03:31):
Car masters?
Speaker 2 (03:33):
Who owns your masters? Yeah? Have you ever thought about
what happens to your online life after you log off
for good? Aka you're dead? A recent study highlights that
most of us will leap behind a massive digital legacy
when we passed away. We're talking about thousands of photos,
social media posts, emails, even digital currency. In fact, the
average person shares over a third of their life online,
(03:54):
leaving behind nearly ten thousand photos and ten thousand social
media posts. That a plan, all that content could be
lost or inaccessible to your loved ones. Experts are recommending
today that you set up digital wills designated legacy contacts
on platforms like uh, Facebook and Google, or you should
designate them and using password managers to ensure that your
(04:15):
digital assets are handled according to your wishes. No, it's okay.
You don't need my passwords, like I guess something happens
to me, I go bye bye, Like, we don't need it.
You don't need to get on my computer. You don't
need to be looking at Wait, it's not necessary.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
What's inside?
Speaker 4 (04:29):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Well I don't know. Do you want someone? Can I
go through your computer right now?
Speaker 3 (04:34):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (04:34):
I can look at your search history. Oh, I can
look at I can look all through your photos.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
Yes, you know, I tell you everything, like literally, good,
don't you have little.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Nudy dudies in there and stuff you don't want people
to see?
Speaker 3 (04:44):
Just keep those first of all, and not you.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
Don't store them anywhere? No? Hell no, Oh, I think
you're in the minority. I think people store the good ones.
And you know how I feel about this, and they
recycle that.
Speaker 5 (04:54):
I don't like keeping that stuff on my technology, so no,
go for it.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
Wow? Yeah, yeah, I mean I think I'm the same
way but I at the same time, I just we
don't need to. We don't. I'm not around to provide context,
especially with this job, the stuff that I've googled. Anytime
I have any question in my mind, I google it,
which is not always a good thing. So like, if
you were to look at some of my Google searches,
you might be like, well, why was he googling that?
(05:20):
Maybe I was watching a TV show I didn't know. Maybe,
but but you're not there to be like, why did
you google that? You know? And for me to be
able to tell you, so I'm gone to context is lost.
So no, you do not need to see what's going
Looking at my phone or my computer is almost like
looking at my brain, and no one needs to be
able to see that movie.
Speaker 6 (05:38):
I love me.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
Yeah, we know you.
Speaker 5 (05:40):
I think enough to think like, Okay, well he was
watching this movie or maybe he's like a free in
the morning he had a random thought.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
Caylen knows that I google the weirdest things.
Speaker 5 (05:47):
I for you in morning? Is Jesus a carpenter? Look,
that was a thought that I had one time.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
What are your friends? She had to tell you?
Speaker 3 (05:53):
I want to say he was was he? I think
his father was Joseph as well. Joseph was so I
got the two confused a family business. I wasn't really sure.
So I how to dissect that family business?
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Yeah, Jesus God and sons carpentry. Yeah, money back guaranteed. Jason.
Would you want anyone going through your stuff once you're gone?
You're that what is that thing over to that that
I think Pat the company gave you? Yeah, I mean
honestly yeah.
Speaker 7 (06:22):
I mean if you could even figure out how to,
you know, work this thing, then I think I'm good.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Whatever you want, I think I'm good. It's just whatever
I put up there, I approved. It would be like
it's like if you're an artist, like when Prince died.
Prince died, and then they went into Paisley Park and
they found the safe full of all this work, all
this stuff that he never released because he had a
studio in his house. It was constantly recording stuff. And
then you know, his family's like, oh good, we're gonna
(06:48):
inventory this and we're gonna we're gonna release all which
I don't even know if they've done it yet, but
for a while that was they hired someone to archive
at all and manage it and look at what it
all was. They were going to release him, and you
know what, if you want it released, he might have
released it, but he didn't, and so he died, and
I think it sadly, I think it dies with him
because maybe whatever that stuff is doesn't represent him, or
(07:09):
who knows. He don't want it out there, so I don't.
I'm gone and you can just throw my stuff away.
It's over. You don't need to go through it now.
I guess what do you do though, if you die
and then you need to get into someone's bank account.
I guess that's you have to like provide birth certificates
and or death certificates, and you have to be able
to prove the person's dad. Yet, I would assume if
there's a will, then if you're the beneficiary or you're
(07:30):
the executor, then you would have access to all of that.
So you don't need my password. You can go to
the bank and you can file paperwork and then they'll
give you what little money I have.
Speaker 5 (07:38):
I'll make sure there's money in there. My sister had that.
That was a fun time she went in there.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
It wasn't a dollar lesson.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Yeah, well, you know, dad, she was like, ah, yes,
college loans erased, you would.
Speaker 5 (07:52):
Think at least a little something to take care of me,
and well take care of my sister. She's going to
college at that time, exactly Pennsylvania, you know, expenses planes.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
But that's another thing. Let's say you win into someone's
uh phone or computer or into their like secret folder
on their on their computer, and then you realize you
learn things about them that they were into or that
they had done that you never knew and never would
have known, and then it changes the way you think
about them. So can't people's private computer be private forever?
Speaker 3 (08:20):
I feel like it's all up to the person.
Speaker 8 (08:21):
But I do think we need to start thinking about
a digital plan after you die, because I've seen people
die and then the last post on their Facebook was
like shout out to Big Booty Keisha, you know, like
we turned out, and it's like, I don't.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Want that to be the last thing that he was
happy or she was happy on their way with Big
Booty Keisha.
Speaker 8 (08:40):
Let me rest you, no, I need like give me
a I think I'm gonna prepare like a final post.
So when I go, Jason gonna go in there, make
just hit posts on this final post.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
Richard Simons did that, didn't you? Like I think his
family released something that he wrote or somebody did, you know?
Speaker 1 (08:54):
I think that's fine, like hit sund when I'm ready, right, Yeah,
I guess we won't.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
Go through your don't worry again.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
I mean, I'm dead, so I mean, who cares.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
But we're not like judging.
Speaker 5 (09:04):
We know you, so we're not really judging what you're
searching unless it was like how do I kill my coworkers?
Speaker 9 (09:08):
You know?
Speaker 3 (09:09):
Other than that, I'm like.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Well I haven't. I haven't searched that in several days,
so you'd have a hard time fighting it. No, I
don't think. I don't think i'm a good example because
I mean you're right, like I don't have secrets, like
I just I just say everything.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
But don't you want to know?
Speaker 2 (09:23):
To my detriment sometimes.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
Like what's up y'all? This phrase? So I'm dead? Yeah,
I did ahead, and Dad, that's crazy, I.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
Did go ahead and I yeah, And then what else
would it since you're being mean? Now, what's telling y'all?
It's Fred? What else would he say?
Speaker 3 (09:36):
Like I'm dead? That's crazy?
Speaker 8 (09:38):
But you know, shout out to the dogs, you know,
I'm up here with a lot of dogs that I
rescue and stuff.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
I'd better be Yeah, and then like every one of
them damn dogs better meet me in heaven.
Speaker 4 (09:46):
Right.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
They might be the only ones, but every one of
them that are beat me in heaven.
Speaker 4 (09:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
You could, you know, do one last you know is
waiting about the phone. You could do whatever you want.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
You could do it last waiting. But because that's what
my legacy is doing, it probably is. Honestly, remember that
guy that used to do that thing with the dates.
Remember him, what was his name?
Speaker 3 (10:02):
Bob Ed the whole intro.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Off the dome. Yeah, oh yeah, I trust me if
this company has anything to do with it. If I
were to die that you'd probably never stop hearing waiting
by the phone. They would just use a little AI
machine to make it sound like me. It might even
be better. Oh and I remember back in the day.
Remember this is why so many decades ago, maybe a
decade ago, when you used to have to download the
(10:27):
music that you wanted off iTunes and then you technically
owned it. I remember there were conversations about that. It
was if I have a hard drive full of music,
because back in the day, I know this is gonna
be hard people to believe. Back in the day, you
didn't stream the song. You had to spend ninety nine
cents to buy the song you wanted, unless you had
the illegal stuff the LimeWire or the napster or whatever.
(10:49):
And then and then it was on your hard drive
and so you had to like transfer it from device
to device as opposed to now you can just stream
it online. So there was a big conversation about, well,
who owns that? Like if I die and I spent
ten thousand dollars on songs, then should I get to
pass that on to somebody? Well, it turned out, if
you look very carefully, all you did was lease the
(11:09):
song for your life. So then when your dad, technically
no one owns it anymore. That's how it used to be.
Now you don't have to worry about it anymore. But yeah,
back in the day, because that was a whole conversation
was like, well, if I spent twenty five grand collecting
every Beatles song and every this and that and whatever,
and I bought all that, well then who gets it? Nobody?
Nobody gets it, I guess, And are you ready for
(11:30):
the latest at work trend? It's called ghost working. I mean,
how many, how many weeks? How many different versions of
not working? But making people believe that I mean, and
then people want to know why they get fired. It's like, well,
because you pridefully have been telling everyone about this thing
(11:51):
that you're doing called ghost working. Move over, quiet quitting.
Now we have ghost working. That's the practice of looking
busy in the office by carrying around prop notebooks, scheduling
fake meetings, or just typing random words. According to a
new survey from resume Now whatever that is, fifty eight
percent of employees admit to the practice regularly, perhaps an
(12:13):
outgrowth of anxiety over job security, the rise of AI
and recession fears. One expert says the workforce is currently
under immense pressure to appear productive. How about just be
productive please? I mean, if you're worried about AI taking
your job, then wouldn't now be the time to make
it look like you can do better than AI as
opposed to pretending to work. I think a lot of
(12:34):
people around here do that.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
By the way, I was gonna say, that's not new.
Speaker 5 (12:36):
I feel like I've seen notebooks in people's hands and
iPads and.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
A lot of ghost working, a lot of ghost working.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
Open it now right in the love let me see
that skin now, show skins.
Speaker 5 (12:49):
But the way that I'm picking that story up or
that I'm thinking of it is that, like I don't know,
maybe they're trying to look more busy, like they're working,
but they're trying to be like no, like a I
can't do this, They can't pull off.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
A note can schedule a meeting with us today?
Speaker 6 (13:01):
Right?
Speaker 2 (13:01):
Well, this is this is exactly not no, This is
exactly the opposite. This is not working but making it
look like you are yes' because I'm out.
Speaker 8 (13:09):
Look, if you want to do ghost working, do your thing.
I'm not I'm not a hater, but don't involve me.
I hate the person who is ghost working and then
involves everybody else.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
So like I got to come to your fake meeting
or I have to.
Speaker 8 (13:22):
You're sending me random emails about nothing, like why do
why do I have to play this game with you?
Just ghost work on your own, Like, don't involve me.
I don't want to work, so can you.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
You don't really hate it, You don't really like a
ghost worker. You are you? You would hate on a
ghost worker because you work really hard.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
And so it's like you said, I don't hate on
a ghost worker, but you do though, because it's like
you're not doing anything, like you're not you want us
to all to believe that your life is so hard,
and you know what else, you know, you know where
I find this happens. This tends to happen when everybody
around you is actually working their asses off, and then
it's like it's opposed to just working your ass off.
(13:59):
You just tell everybody how hard you're working and how
difficult your life is, and then you will become resentful
of you.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
Could happen absolutely, see.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
All, I got an idea, why don't you just make
yourself as actually as what Why don't you produce as
much as everybody else?
Speaker 5 (14:11):
And then you don't have to You shouldn't have to
say you work hard ever, Like it should just be
a parent like.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
But oh, come on, people do it. And everybody driving
to work right now in every workplace can think of
the person you're like, oh, I'm just so exhaustly hard.
It's like if you want to know you're right, and
the person that's talking is like, like I've never once
heard Jason Brown say that and Jason Brown works seventeen
hours a day. Never once heard him say that ghost working.
(14:39):
But then I think, may maybe you should consider it.
I'm want to send you all a bunch of emails
that makes no sense. It's a national Rotistory Chicken day, Rosari,
national Bubba Day, Bubba day. Hey, that's me, a national
leave the office early day, which is about to be me.
Because it's hard to ghost work when you have to talk, dude,
(15:00):
I can't. I wish they could. Well, I shouldn't wish
too much because they're probably working on the AI with
a fresh show. It's Kiki's court, all right. The Honorable
Kikilik is here. Judge Kiki, but I'm taking away. You
guys are the jury, by the way, eight five five
three five. I want to hear your thoughts after we
hear the case.
Speaker 8 (15:20):
I need them today because I'm torn. Let's get into
this court room. It says, am I wrong for reporting
my coworker for stealing food. I work at a mid
sized tech company with a decent cafeteria. Nothing fancy sandwiches, snacks, coffee,
but it's all paid for by our company. Well, a
month ago I started noticing food was going rather quickly
(15:43):
from our kitchen. Snacks will be put out at eight
am and completely gone before noon. It became a running
joke in the office. We called it the lunch room
bandit striking again. People were getting annoyed. Some brought it
up in meetings. HR sent the friendly reminder email, and
cameras were quietly installed near the break room, and we
were told it was just for safety reasons.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
Well, two weeks later.
Speaker 8 (16:06):
I walk into the kitchen and catch my coworker mid swipe,
taking a handful of sandwiches and chips, slipping it into
his backpack.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
I was shocked. He saw me.
Speaker 8 (16:17):
He froze, and then he muttered, it's not what it
looks like. I still decided to report it okay. Later
that day he was quietly escorted out by HR. However,
the next morning, I get an anonymous email with a
subject with no subject line, just a link. So I
clicked the link and it was a go fundme page. Well,
(16:37):
apparently my co worker had secretly been raising his thirteen
year old niece and sixteen year old nephew alone for
the last year after his sister died in a car accident.
According to this GoFundMe. She died with no insurance and
no help for the kids, leaving my coworker behind on rent,
barely affording groceries and sleeping on a couch so that
his niece and nephew can have a bedroom. One at
(17:00):
work knew about this. He never told us that he
was going through all of this. Well, the GoFundMe said
he didn't want to burden anyone and asking for help
by asking for help, so he tried to handle it
all by himself, and now because of me, he's unemployed.
Now my co workers are split. Some say I was
right to report him stealing and stealing. Others say I
(17:21):
destroyed a man who was trying to feed some kids.
HR said, hey, their hands are tied once it was
caught on video, and honestly, I don't know if I
would have done anything different, but I feel like garbage.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
Was I wrong?
Speaker 2 (17:33):
Man? Woo wow? He's five three five. You guys are
the jury, but you're the judge, judge, Kiki, what say you? Yo?
Speaker 8 (17:42):
I lost sleep over this one over the weekend because
I'm for real, for real torn, because on one hand, I'm
sometimes we need to mind our business, like sometimes we
needed they put cameras there to be the police. Why
did you share and feel the need to go be
the police?
Speaker 4 (17:57):
Right?
Speaker 2 (17:58):
You know, you know what, you didn't pay for this stuff.
It's not your stuff. I mean, yeah, it sucks that
it's a perk that's not available to you because it's
all gone. But at the same time, like, who are
you to complain about?
Speaker 8 (18:08):
I mean, you know, But then it's like, I mean
you are still like it's so sad because now this
man has no job and he's trying to take care
of these two kids who have lost their mother.
Speaker 3 (18:20):
Okay, and Sharon, you didn't, oh.
Speaker 8 (18:22):
God, but Sharon thought she was doing the right thing
at the time. So it's like, what do you do
if you see your cowork and steal it from work?
I mean people steal paper.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
You know, Pam.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
I'm not saying a word. No, I'm staying out of it.
Unless you're doing something that's like harmful to others something yeah, right, yeah,
like I don't know if you're selling company secrets or something.
I mean, something that could affect the bottom line. That
could mean that a bunch of people, you know, lose
their jobs, or that the company closes or something. Something work.
(18:53):
Something's like really nefarious, I'm stealing sandwiches at work.
Speaker 8 (18:58):
Yeah, I mean yeah, but you go every time you
go to the breakroom, it's completely empty.
Speaker 3 (19:03):
There's not a snack.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
Well, that's just because they don't put anything there anymore.
Go there right now, that's because they cut a bunchet.
That's because we don't get to have nice things anymore.
That's why that is.
Speaker 8 (19:15):
But it's like she feels as if she lost this
man his job. But then on the other hand, he
kind of lost the job himself because he was stealing.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
Ray I asco.
Speaker 5 (19:24):
Are these like free snacks or is this like you
gotta pay in the jar?
Speaker 3 (19:28):
Like what's the deal with the snacks? It's all paid
for by the company, so it's free snacks.
Speaker 5 (19:32):
So he can't just say, oh, I wanted to eat
these doritos at home with my sandwich, Like sometimes I
all got to hear with the breakroom snacks because I'm
going to my car, but I still want to eat
my funions.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
I'm just really confused.
Speaker 5 (19:42):
So, yeah, why you're such a company girl that you
felt you felt the need to be the police of
the chips and the whatever, the crackers, whatever, the sandwich
is and now you.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
Kind of blew up this guy's life.
Speaker 3 (19:51):
Yeah, and those poor children.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
I mean, if a company cared enough to look into
it to catch him, I guess that's one thing that's
But like, as a coworker, I get that the stealing
is wrong, but it's also like, why are you such
a busybody? Like this was a perk, This wasn't owed
to you, right, and now this person's got much bigger
problems when you could have just minded your own business.
Speaker 3 (20:15):
It's so sad.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
I think you got to Hey, Brittany, I'm with you. You
got to mind your own business, right, Oh my god.
Speaker 4 (20:22):
So I get it, but like, yeah, it calls zero
dollars and takes zero minutes to mind your own essing business.
Speaker 6 (20:30):
Like, it's not that it's never.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
That serious, I promise you.
Speaker 4 (20:35):
Like you said, if he was like packing information and
you know, releasing like stuff like that, I get it.
Speaker 10 (20:42):
Well she needs somebod her business.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
Yeah yeah, I just I think, yeah, you got.
Speaker 4 (20:49):
To feed these kids. And well, one thing I always
say is you never know what people are going through. Yes,
So like if it is that serious that he's doing it.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
You never know. Now we should feel like absolute.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
Yeah, yeah, Brittany, thank you. Have a good day. Someone
tells you this is tough. The company who failed the guy, well,
I mean, I also don't know if the company failed
the guy because they may not have known the context either.
They're just looking at it, like why are you taking
all of the things that we're putting on for everybody.
I'm not sure if that's determinable offense. But we also
don't know anything else, like what's this dude on a performance?
Speaker 4 (21:27):
Thing?
Speaker 2 (21:27):
Was? Like, you know, who knows? Who knows if this
was the only reason why, Like we never tend to
have the whole story.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
Was he worn before or something right?
Speaker 2 (21:34):
Right? Like when people get let go, You know, we
oftentimes don't know everything that was involved. That being said,
if this was the final straw and it her busybody
as is the one that you know, like I just say,
out of it? Man, Hey Johnny, Hey, how you doing it? Hey? Man? Hey,
good morning. So you say they should have fired this guy,
My thing is is okay.
Speaker 10 (21:56):
So I'm part of a family business, okay, And if
we had employees stealing from their company, right, it wouldn't
make the company look good. Small theft, big theft. It
doesn't matter how you look at it. If they were
smart enough and they would have come forward, I guarantee
somebody in that in that office would have helped them
and would have offered groceries, would have done something better
(22:16):
than him stealing from a company that he worked for.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
Yeah, but it's.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
Not always like that. People don't want to put their
business out there too.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
Yeah, I mean right, like maybe he didn't. But there's
right and wrong.
Speaker 10 (22:26):
You know, there's right and wrong and there's they're stealing.
No matter how you look at it, Stealing is stealing.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
Stealing is a crime is a crime. But I don't know.
Speaker 5 (22:33):
I feel like this lady writing in probably wants to
take away free lunches for kids too.
Speaker 10 (22:36):
It's like, I get both sides of it. I do
understand both sides of it, but you have to realize,
you know, I'm also raising two boys. How would I
want my boys to act what I want my boys
to steal? Or would I want my boys to report
somebody's stealing so that that way they're they're.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
In the right. Yeah, you know what I mean? Yeah, Johnny,
thank you man. I have a good day. Umber of
text years saying like if she cared that much. Why
didn't she just go to him? You know, why didn't
she just go to him like, hey, look like I
see you taking all this stuff, like you know, I
don't get to eat it because you got it all
on your bag or whatever, like what's up with that?
And maybe he would have explained, and then maybe she
(23:14):
could have helped come up with a better solution for him.
Then again, it's also not her responsibility to come up
with a solution, but maybe she could have been like, wow, okay,
well I understand, like the let's come up with some
other resources or something, because if you do get caught,
you might get fired.
Speaker 8 (23:30):
Right now, she did catch him red handed in the
kitchen and he said, it's not what it looks like.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
But but it wasn't.
Speaker 3 (23:36):
That's all he said. Though she still report it.
Speaker 7 (23:39):
So why wasn't there a conversation there, like who just
says that? And then another interesting point is is it
stealing if it's free? Oh yeah, I mean it was
only free to you. It wasn't free to the company,
and it was a company benefit in for everybody to have.
Speaker 6 (24:02):
Sure, so.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
It is stealing because someone paid for it, you know.
On this whole thing with like and then there are
people going never side with the multi billion dollar company.
It's like, I mean, the multi billion dollar company is
still paying your bills. You still work there, they still
bought the sandwiches, They're still providing the work environment. Like
I don't understand that. It's like, well, we don't like
the billion dollar company. Well, the billion dollar company is
(24:26):
paying our bills, so I don't have to like everything
they do. But I don't own the billion dollar company,
so I don't get to tell them how to do things.
I can choose to walk away. I can choose to
get a job somewhere else in another multi billion dollar company.
Speaker 3 (24:37):
That happens every day.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
But you know, it's like, sorry, but this is I mean,
we live in a hierarchy. Guys, Like there's always going
to be an owner of the business and they're always
going to be employees, and some of us don't get
to be the owner. Sorry, hey Emily, Hey hi Emily.
So just to recap here at Kiky's Court, basically a
dude was stealing free lunch from work that they were
(25:00):
providing for the employees. It turned out that he may
have been stealing it was more than likely stealing it
because he was raising two kids at home that weren't
his and that he had nothing to do with, but
he didn't have any money and was trying to make
it work, but he wanted getting fired. Nonetheless, what do
you think?
Speaker 9 (25:16):
Okay, so two things like one, so my company gave
the snacks and lunch and stuff too, and I have
I openly admited my coworkers that I shake, you know,
steal extras and whatnot. But it's mostly because they were
going to expire and we have like a plusor us,
so opposite situation of we were not running low by
any means, but you know.
Speaker 6 (25:36):
Just.
Speaker 3 (25:39):
Your inventory.
Speaker 9 (25:41):
Well, I mean, I'm not being wasteful, right, I'm actually
saving the company money.
Speaker 3 (25:45):
Right yeah?
Speaker 2 (25:46):
Well wait, how are you? How are you saving the
company money? I'd like to hear more about that.
Speaker 9 (25:52):
I was just getting thrown away. I'm using I'm using
their money they've already spent.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
Yeah yeah, yeah, okay, well fair enough, thank you, Emily.
Speaker 3 (26:01):
I like how Emily thinks.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
See here we go in the text, people are going, well,
this billion dollar company is not paying a livable wage.
We don't know that, we don't know any of this.
We don't know maybe they're not maybe they're not paying
enough of a wage for him to support two kids,
but he didn't know he was gonna have to. I don't.
I don't know. There's a lot we don't know here.
You can't exactly just take, you can't exactly steal, you know,
(26:24):
And it sucks that this dude has an extenuating circumstance.
But you also, I guess I don't know why our
fellow employees are ratting each other out either, Like I don't.
I guess I would just look the other way and
be like, if you really feel the need to take
that many sandwiches home, there might my brain would go
to there might be something going on, like my brain
would would go, I mean, I guess it's one of
two things. You're either that greedy and that didn't consider it,
(26:48):
or you're taking the food because you need the food
and and and that to me, would that's I guess
I don't know the answer, So I would stay out
of it right now.
Speaker 5 (26:57):
What what's like the policy though, Like, don't companies have
policies where it's like some sign that says.
Speaker 3 (27:02):
One per person, don't take it out of the breakroom?
Speaker 2 (27:05):
Do they don't have that here. No, but we used
to have, you know, like a breakroom full of chips.
They didn't say anything. I mean, and you know what
they were people here that would probably take eight chips
in there, people here that didn't take any That's just
kind of how it goes.
Speaker 5 (27:15):
Yeah, some people want it, they don't want it. But
now I'm afraid leave the building with my chips.
Speaker 3 (27:19):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
I take dot came now. If we had them, i'd
be watching you. Maybe the reason we don't have it.
Speaker 3 (27:29):
I don't know what to do.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
It's like, look at you in your in, your in,
your in, your cheeto fingers over there. Hi, Darren, good.
Speaker 6 (27:37):
Morning to my number one morning show? How is everyone?
Speaker 2 (27:41):
Would that is a perfect way to start this call?
You are a sexy man? You, Darren?
Speaker 9 (27:46):
What do you think that?
Speaker 2 (27:47):
What's the what's your what are your thoughts on this?
Speaker 1 (27:50):
Well?
Speaker 6 (27:50):
You know, fred I could think of a couple of reasons,
from worldly to biblical reasons why she should not have
told on that man. It doesn't matter what the reason is.
World is speaking, you just snitches get stitches, just don't care. Yeah, Biblical,
biblically speaking, let he who's without seeing cast the first stone, Amen,
and you just you just can't do that to people.
(28:12):
That is between him and whatever he believes in, and
if he gets caught by the higher ups, then he
gets caught. It should not have been in your hands
to control that man.
Speaker 11 (28:23):
And that's exactly what you did. You control that man's life.
And now look at he's without a job. Uh, and
he has to support kids that otherwise he probably couldn't
have done. So, like I said, she should have kept
her mouth shut.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
Yeah, I'm with you Darren on that and a lot
of other issues that people that don't apply to people,
but they feel the need to insert themselves into. It's
like if you if it doesn't apply to you, or
you think it's wrong, then don't do it. And then
you don't. I guess you don't have a problem. But
then this extra step where I need to make sure
nobody else gets to do it either. It's necessary a
(28:57):
lot of times, Darren, it is. Yeah, Well, good death
a lot of reason there from Darren. Thank you man,
have a good day.
Speaker 6 (29:05):
You have a great deals will Yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
Siana, Hiiana, good morning, good morning. Hey you say report
this person? I do why.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
Because I actually have been a retail manager for a
multitude of years. And I will tell you whenever someone continuously,
you know, they get away with something and then they
continue to potentially steal HR sends out an email, chances
are there's something else that they're doing wrong. What else
(29:35):
is missing? You never know with an individual, So it
could very well potentially be I don't I don't know
what company this is. Maybe some other funds are going missing.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
Yeah, I do hate to say that because it could
be again I'm reaching here, but it could be a
slippery slope. And I don't know how much money this
represents to the company, this benefit they're providing. But if
you were to say this guy was stealing one hundred
bucks a day from the company or fifty bucks a day,
that right there, I think would resonate differently with people.
(30:05):
I think if you were to say this dude siphoning
off fifty bucks a day secretly from the company and
then it turns out to pay for these kids' food,
that's a noble cause. But the money, I think immediately
would be oh, terminate him, fire him. Done. Well, he
kind of is stealing money from the company, but in
the form of food. So why is one okay? And
(30:26):
the other one wouldn't be okay because I bet you
if you had said he's stealing fifty bucks a day,
one hundred percent of people would call up here and say, well,
you can't do that, right, And that's kind of what
he's doing, Tia exactly. Yeah, thank you so much, have
a good day.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
Yeah, I want to say, I love you guys, thank
you so much.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
Thank you, love you too, have a good day. And then, like,
I don't know. Again, I think I would do my
best to stay out of it because I really don't
like conflict and drama and I don't want to be bad.
But then what if you're on camera watching this. Okay,
I know I'm reaching again, but like you know, Devil's
advocate here, What what if they look into this and
they see your standing there too, and you didn't say anything, right,
(31:05):
because you know, we have to take that stupid training
every year where it's like basically we're supposed to turn
everybody in that we see doing anything that I was
supposed to be doing. Like if we see somebody, you know,
breaking company policy, we're supposed to tell the company.
Speaker 8 (31:17):
About it, right, Because now I can't get a raise
because you took seven sandwiches every day.
Speaker 3 (31:21):
That's why I can't get because you need paper. It's
your printer at home.
Speaker 8 (31:25):
So Jason walking out of here with plum bundles of
paper every day, Yes, you know that is crazy?
Speaker 2 (31:31):
You got that might Yeah, the amount a free postage
I've gotten out of this place over the years, it
might be the reason why none of us have gotten raised.
It's never mind. I'm going to terminate myself.
