Hi my name is TClough, are you tired of your job? OF COURSE YOU ARE IT’S A NEVER ENDING NIGHTMARE OF RIGOROUS AND MONOTONOUS TASKS THAT SUCK THE LIFE OUT OF YOU. BUT YOU don’t have to feel that way when going into work when I discuss the workforce in the closest thing YOU will get to an “anti-work” podcast. Follow and listen with me on The Job Meltdown in most places you get podcasts. Don’t work too hard out there!
TClough has some thoughts about the people that work in sales. He has done it himself a bit, but also wondered how the average salesperson is doing lately. Harder than fast food? Easier than building a structure? What do you think?
TClough just goes off on his job, why he hasn't been around, and a little more on fast food for some reason...
