Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is deeper in the den with dangerous day. Most
dogs don't have a lot of decisions to make, usually
have the same meal every day. They don't go to college.
It doesn't mean they're owners don't have to make a
lot of choices on their behalf. A new report says
the average dog owner makes twenty seven decisions per month
based on their pet. The average dog owner supposedly cancels
social plans four times per month because their dog can't go,

(00:23):
and typically cuts planned short six times a month. Dogs
can impact their owner's work routine and work locations too,
especially when they have flexible schedules. The report also compared
to how dog ownership changes based on whether or not
people have children. Not surprisingly, people without children more likely
to spoil their dogs and consider them their children. There's
also more likely to drop money on treats, toys and

(00:46):
fun things, higher quality pet food, dog beds, dog furniture,
and personalized accessories like engraved tags and monogram blankets. Really
I got my kids monogram tags Deeper in the door.
Remember when companies were trying to cater to the idea
of a work life balance, Well that didn't last very long.
According to the Wall Street Journal. There's a surge of
job listings, specifically that say they do not offer any balance.

(01:09):
They do have a ton of work to be done,
though they're posting may look something like keep up with
an unrelenting pace, or they want somebody who is eager
to be in the office as much as possible. They
also stress long hours, competitive business environments, and important hustle.
One healthcare company even said if you're looking for work
life balance, this isn't it. So basically we're trying to

(01:29):
rein in the flexible schedules, remote work, and perks and
are openly warning applicants to get ready for the grind.
One expert says they're testing the limits of what they
can ask their employees, knowing how hungry people are to work.
So the pendulum has swung so companies are in control again,
But for now things are mostly popping up in postings
for startups, tech companies, and white collar positions. While work

(01:53):
life balance you should work to live and not live
to work. I'm still struggling to do both. They can't.
