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?

School really is the the little kid version of work. Teachers have a hard job so instead of just researching about teachers myself, I was lucky enough to get in touch with a good friend of mine Julian who has actually been a teacher! So join us on what Julian's thoughts are on teaching, kids, and anti-work in general.

Hi! Just wanted to stop by real quick with a topic that I didn't feel like it needed a long winded episode on so I'm here to talk about some phrase like "anti-work" and "no one wants to work anymore" on top of an update on my schedule. Thanks again and Happy Holidays!!

How would this now be an "anti-work" podcast, if I did a bunch of work?! Really though, I am taking a break because I love summer, but I also want to make The Job Meltdown better! So tune in for a moment as I announce when I will be be returning...and don't worry! You should get a mini-episode of some sort before then. I can't have you too bored at work.

If we all thought applying was hard, wait until you hear about some end results! Getting terminated is no joke, but I'll make a few jokes as I look into how layoffs became a concept, why they are so normal, and what we could do to have companies make a different plan for cost cutting.
