Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Please, He's deeper in the den with dangerous day. You
know you can work hard, spend smart, climb the ladder
at work, or just do stupid stuff on TikTok. A
hot new TikTok challenge dropping heavier and heavier things on
your foot to see how much it hurts. Search for
dropping things on your foot or drop challenge drop each
thing without shoes on you writhe them pain, rate the

(00:21):
pain on a scale from one to ten. One guy
went viral after he did it in multiple rounds where
he does it with a hammer, a space eater, a
sound bar, and the worst one was a cordless drill.
People have done bigger things too, like vacuums and televisions.
But it looks like TikTok has pulled down a lot
of these videos, including the guy with the drill, because
it's dangerous. You could end up breaking your foot or
end up with long term issues. Maybe that's why they

(00:44):
should ban TikTok. These challenges, from tie pods to walk
inhead crates all the way to dropping stuff on your foot.
Not a lot of intelligence there. Deeper in the till
you know. Getting promoted at work was a goal for
most employees, but not anymore, at least when it comes
to younger workers. According to the new Ranstad's twenty twenty
four Work Monitor report, thirty nine percent of workers not

(01:07):
interested in promotions. Forty two percent said they'd even declined
one if offered. Seems gen zers are the most interested
in having a healthy work life balance and pursuing personal
interests then moving up the corporate ladder, especially if the
money isn't enough to make it worth the extra time
and effort, because as they start a job, they expect
to make as much money as you when they start

(01:29):
off without the experience or moving up the corporate ladder. Unfortunately,
they say that there's more to life than work, especially
how a lot of jobs are subjecting employees to bad
work conditions. Twenty five year old worker named Emma told Newsweek,
I've reached a point where I just treat my job
like a source of income, nothing more or nothing less.
And it's just like how employees are seen as numbers

(01:50):
by upper management. So I guess a lot of people
just don't want promotions anymore. I was trying to move
so far, but they kept saying, nah, maybe you're not
quite right for it. Tune in again for another episode
