Speaker 1 (00:00):
From the city that changes the world.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Peers rose with three things you need.
Speaker 1 (00:05):
To know for your Wednesday Rose, which you got for us.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
So the US government officially shut down at midnight for
the first time in almost seven years. Twenty eighteen. Twenty
nineteen was the last one. It lasted thirty five days,
and it was the longest in US history. So how
long this current impass will left is unclear. Congress and
the White House could not come to an agreement on
a continuing resolution that would fund the government through November
twenty first. Those are those short term deals that we
(00:30):
kept talking about over the last few years when the
government was potentially shutting down. They couldn't agree to that.
They have to come up with an agreement for the
entire year on top of that. So there are a
lot of details we don't know right now, but both
a Republican proposal and a Democratic proposal were rejected. So
about seven hundred and fifty thousand federal employees will be
furloughed each day, while essential workers like TSA agent, air
(00:53):
traffic controllers, of law enforcement officers, military, they will work
without payment until they get back paid when the government
comes back. The Smithsonian did announce yesterday that their museums,
research centers, and the National Zoo will remain open through
at least Monday, October sixth, So there's that. I'll keep
you updated on this because obviously it affects a lot
(01:15):
of people. DC Mayor Muriel Bowser says the city is
creating a path for long term economic growth in the district.
So Bowser announced the award of over one point five
million dollars in business funding yesterday during an event. The awards,
through the Cities Violent Growth Bunds are expected to create
two hundred and fifty jobs, help retain another seventy two jobs,
(01:37):
and provide occupancy for fifty six thousand square feet of
office space. The mayor said the awards shows that DC
is focused on growing key sectors like technology and life
science and creating high quality jobs for city residents. So
that's pretty cool. And there is a new robo taxi
company in town. It's self driving vehicles from Zookes. They
(01:58):
are already being tested in cities like San Francisco, Seattle, Austin,
and Miami, and they are now testing its service on
the street of DC, which is interesting the company. The
company was started by Amazon in twenty twenty. It uses
special specially built vehicles with seats that face each other
and the doors open on both sides. But DC was
reportedly chosen as the first mid Atlantic test site because
(02:21):
of its unique street layouts and challenging traffic patterns.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
Cool show, we don't need it to be more challenging.
I know.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
I was like, that makes me nervous hearing them describe
it like that. But Zooks hopes to begin passenger service
in DC next year. So if you see a ROBOTAXI,
that's what's happening. I'm rouss. Those are the three things
you need to know for today.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
Thank you, Rose, You're welcome.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
Thought this was crazy and new survey shows that four
and five four out of five workers have been career
catfished into jobs they didn't want, which is crazy. So
so coring data they broke it down. Monster to com
did this. They were often being dupe virus responsibilities outlined
in job ads, where basically the company isn't being completely
(03:05):
honest about what the job entails.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
Okay, so like you get more than what you say basically.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
Or they'll mention like, oh, your huge growth opportunity and
there is it's stagnant.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Yeah, not great.
Speaker 4 (03:16):
According to the data, nearly eight and ten workers at
seventy nine. Well, they say sep nine percent nearly eight
and ten, Okay, we'll call it.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Sure.
Speaker 4 (03:23):
So they accepted the job, it didn't match what was
promised during the hiring process.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
That sucks, so because then you're so excited for this
new chapter in your life and then you get there
and you're like, this is not what I signed up for.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
They say.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
Nearly half of those surveys said the responsibilities of their
role different from what was actually described. Over one of
I felt the company culture is misrepresented.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
I think that's that's a big one though, because when
you're in a job interview, how do you say everybody
that you work with hates at each other? You know, hey,
it's pretty toxic here, but you should join.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
That is yeah, like, hey listen, we all hate each other.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
Hey, so this place is pretty awful.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
But yeah, come on, we have snacks everything.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
I think that your personality was really brighten this place up.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
Yeah, I mean, well, then they say to nine percent
report of their payer benefits were not what they've been promised.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Oh that's wild though.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
Well.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
Also, the typical thing in radio is always like they'll
give you five dollars a year for the salary, but
with events, oh, endorsements, Like I was told the person
before me had like tripled their salary. I was like,
that's great, that'd be very exciting, and I did not,
as it turns out. Yeah, so that's what I was
in Des Moines. My rent was like six hundred dollars
(04:32):
a month, sleeping on the floor. Got here, signed the contract,
I thought I was rich, and then realized that rent
here was twenty five hundred dollars. I'm like, oh, I'm
somehow more broke here than I was in Des Moines.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
It happened very very exciting.
Speaker 4 (04:44):
Yeah, they say it doesn't just create mismatch expectations, it
sets employees and employers up for failure from day one. Absolutely, Yeah,
because as the employee, I feel like you you lied
to me.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
Yeah, and then I'm going to keep bringing it up,
bring it up, and then we're going to have a
tumultuous relationship because I don't trust you now.
Speaker 4 (05:00):
Yeah, and then you can't be mad me having a
bad attitude. Like I have a boss once say to me,
I'm sorry, your expectations were met, and I was like, Hey,
I have these expectations because of what you told me.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
That Lily happened to me too, and I'm like, you
literally told me this to get me to come here, yes,
and it didn't.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
And again, like instead of being like, oh, you're right,
I was like, well, I'm sorry your expectations brother, you
said them. If we go to a restaurant that says
they have sushi, yeah, and we get there and just
hot dogs. I love hot dogs, you can't get mad
me if I'm like, where's the sushi, I'm sorry. Expectations
are you said says sushi on the sign?
Speaker 3 (05:33):
Yeah, it's a lot of like pointing the finger.
Speaker 4 (05:35):
Unfortunately, according to research to the average cost to hiring
employees over about five thousand dollars a year. Okay, but
between ads and like that that also seems love though,
between like loss like proctivity and that kind of stuff.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
Yeah, I guess so I wasn't thinking about that. I
was more so thinking about training, getting the set set
them up.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
Well, I guess if somebody's training them too, they're not
focusing on like what their job is. That's always the
worst having in somebody.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
Especially because like I wouldn't think that I would think
it'd be higher, especially if you're moving somebody to your location.
Oh for sure, moving fees.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
They also say a bad hire can ultimately cost up
to twice that person's annual salary.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
Oh for sure. That is the amount of like non
productive days people probably had because of a bad work environment.
Is I mean, I'm sure it's been studied, but it's
probably up there.
Speaker 4 (06:23):
Well, there's nothing worse. When somebody asked your opinion to
hire it, like I wouldn't hire them. They do and
it's like, okay, well they.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
Don't last a year and they ruin your life. Yeah,
it's crazy.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
I surprising didn't quite work out. Uh.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
They also say a sixty seven percent of workers say
they believe someone they currently work with misrepresent their qual
qualifications get the job no way.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
Wow, that's a statement. That's a choice to say out loud.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
But the fact that's also low.
Speaker 4 (06:49):
I think three teams that one person is like there
is no way, Like who do you know?
Speaker 3 (06:54):
There is like some people that were not here, not
ever here of course they were like who hired this person?
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Yeah, it's like is your aunt on the board somewhere?
What's going on?

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
