Speaker 1 (00:00):
For the first time in history. There are now four
generations in the workplace together.

Speaker 2 (00:03):
Wait four together? So grandfather, father, great grandfather.

Speaker 1 (00:10):
No, it's more like gen Z millennial.

Speaker 3 (00:13):
Yeah, I thought it was weird. When Breezy was in trouble,
I hired her mom.

Speaker 2 (00:23):
Here's her great grandmother. Oh my god, olden t shirt.

Speaker 1 (00:27):
Studies show that employers recognize the benefits of this increasingly
multi genera generational workforce, but many are not putting in
place age friendly policies and support mechanisms to support an
inclusive and productive workplace. Not just alcohol policy and socialized
what about no menipause support right there? I don't even

(00:55):
know what that means, and it's something you need to
be considered with an aging workforce mixed in with all
the cases.

Speaker 2 (01:04):
Yea, all got to make a colder in here.

Speaker 4 (01:06):
No.

Speaker 3 (01:07):
No, like listen like bottom endless bloodies well except for her,
that's a bloodyless bottom.

Speaker 2 (01:22):
No, but I mean, like, what am I supposed to
do with the office for that? Let me read more?

Speaker 5 (01:27):
No?

Speaker 2 (01:27):
No, like like, no, I'm being serious. I know it's
one thing.

Speaker 3 (01:31):
It's one thing to go like, hey, if you're if
everybody from the company is going out.

Speaker 2 (01:35):
I'd rather everybody not go drinking. Also, can you please
invite Vicky? She's very emotional, She's she's going through meno.
What are you supposed to do?

Speaker 1 (01:44):
Have different uniforms available in case of hot fu well,
Vicky can wear white now hot flashes. Different uniforms. Oh, here,
I brought you these hooter shorts.

Speaker 6 (01:53):
No, for people who have to wear a uniform, maybe,
like you know what, you can have the turtleneck.

Speaker 2 (02:01):
Wait, but who's got a weird like at work? Who's
wearing a uniform? A lot of people? Yeah? At work?

Speaker 3 (02:07):
Yes, Well, I guess if your job is like firefighter,
you have a uniform or something. Okay, I was thinking
like in the office.

Speaker 1 (02:15):
It actually says you can start with listening to people
going through menopause.

Speaker 2 (02:19):
Oh, I'd love to.

Speaker 1 (02:24):
Hold on. They have other ideas here. This is something
I have not seen. I am embarrassed to say I've
not seen anything about.

Speaker 2 (02:32):
Oh no, no, I've never even heard of that.

Speaker 6 (02:34):
What menopause?

Speaker 3 (02:35):
The No, I mean I've heard of it, but I
mean I've never heard of offices having a deal there.

Speaker 6 (02:39):
People are talking about it now. They said, it's you know,
it's one of those things like you learn about you,
you learn about getting your period and becoming a quote
unquote a woman at that point, right, and then going
through like child bearing years and everything. And then they said,
that's like the part of your life that nobody talks about.

Speaker 3 (02:55):
Is that I may have this wrong. But who there's
like there's a celebrity face to it?

Speaker 1 (03:00):
Is it?

Speaker 2 (03:00):
Callista Flockhart.

Speaker 6 (03:03):
I don't know. I thought there was really seen Maria
Shriver talk about it maybe on the Today Show a
bit no the no, no, but but let's talk about
Ali McBeal.

Speaker 3 (03:13):
No, no, Maria Shrever went through menopause before we were born.

Speaker 6 (03:18):
No, no, she didn't. No, No, she's she's done. They
did like a whole feature on the Today.

Speaker 2 (03:23):
Show with her. No yeah, no, I mean I don't
dislike Maria Shriverer. I've meant or she a very nice lady.
But tell me exactly about that? Isn't there isn't there
a celebrity right now? Who?

Speaker 3 (03:32):
Who is?

Speaker 6 (03:32):
Alan Barry and Ally Berry's talked about it.

Speaker 2 (03:34):
Hey, there you go, Like that's what I'm saying. Like,
that's good. I've got no problem with that.

Speaker 1 (03:40):
It says that problem.

Speaker 2 (03:42):
No, I mean you should like, I don't care if
somebody's going through menopause.

Speaker 6 (03:45):
You do seem like you'd be a comforting uh shoulder?

Speaker 2 (03:49):
Would I actually would?

Speaker 1 (03:50):
Well, this maybe isn't the role for you. Then it
is important to appoint a menopause champion within your organization.

Speaker 2 (04:00):
Consider it, what do I have to do?

Speaker 1 (04:02):
Well, that's when you start listening to those that'll help
you draft the policies. Oh my god, and well, it's
actually thanks for mentioning that every desk should have a
fan attachment, or the ability to move directly under event.

Speaker 2 (04:27):
That's what it sense.

Speaker 3 (04:29):
I want it to be a fan, but you can
only turn it on during a hot flash, so that
you warn the entire office that you have in one.

Speaker 1 (04:38):
We mentioned breathable fabric, well or nothing. You have to
teach those around the office who may not be experiencing
menopause what to expect from their colleagues.

Speaker 6 (04:51):
Hey, y'all, come look at VICKI sometimes there's mood swings.

Speaker 2 (04:55):
Come look at Vicky, y'all.

Speaker 1 (05:01):
I mean, wouldn't it just be easier not to hire
old women?

Speaker 2 (05:05):
Yeah, you could take old out of that sentence.

Speaker 1 (05:09):
This is actually really really good important. Yes, of course
it is you're start champion, and now I told you
not to hire her?

Speaker 2 (05:23):
Where am I going line for? Hi? Elliott in the morning?

Speaker 4 (05:28):
Hey?

Speaker 3 (05:28):
This is me?

Speaker 2 (05:28):
Yeah, Hi, who's this?

Speaker 7 (05:31):
Hey?

Speaker 6 (05:31):
This is back?

Speaker 3 (05:33):
Hey.

Speaker 4 (05:33):
I worked at a summer camp a few years back,
and we had to wear our summer camp T shirt
And it was a long week and we'd get together
at the end of the week on Friday and go
to the bar across the street for a happy hour.
But we would have to change our shirts either to
a new one or inside out because they didn't want
us showing summer camp counselor at a bar.

Speaker 2 (05:57):
Oh that's pretty good. That's pretty good.

Speaker 3 (06:00):
So yeah, you can't walk in with it saying like,
uh like camp Titty Wonka or something like that.

Speaker 2 (06:06):
It's gotta be.

Speaker 4 (06:09):
Yeah, how to change it?

Speaker 2 (06:11):
Interesting? Interesting? All right, very good, very good, Thank you, ma'am.

Speaker 4 (06:14):
You know what.

Speaker 2 (06:15):
I get that though.

Speaker 1 (06:17):
But it's funny though, because at the same time.

Speaker 2 (06:21):
What can we do to draw more attention to this?

Speaker 1 (06:22):
When does a teacher appreciation you pretend you're a professor
to try to get drink deals? Which way do you
want it? Do you want to be near a window
that opens easily or do you want to celebrate camp
titty Wonka?

Speaker 4 (06:44):
Hey?

Speaker 2 (06:44):
Can someone roll Vicky under the fan? Hi? Yellie at
the morning?

Speaker 6 (06:53):
Hi?

Speaker 4 (06:54):
Hi?

Speaker 2 (06:54):
Who's this? Yes, Jamie? What can I do for you?

Speaker 7 (07:01):
So we have sales meetings where we are all like
sit clustered in the resort for a week at a time,
and I would love its regulate alcohol for some of
the handy damns.

Speaker 3 (07:19):
Ma'am, ma'am, please please, right, let's not let's not use
that term. Let's not use that term though you're obviously
worked up.

Speaker 5 (07:29):
They drink a lot, and then some people that you
have to continue to work with get just so stevy
and gross.

Speaker 8 (07:39):
Right, yeah, no, I get that. And then they shouldn't
they but that but no, okay, you know you shouldn't
do that.

Speaker 2 (07:52):
Sounds like.

Speaker 3 (07:56):
No, but I mean they should be shut down, like
you should be able to tell them this is inappropriate.

Speaker 7 (08:03):
Yeah, yeah, because that works to the bar.

Speaker 1 (08:07):
I way to handle that. I have another scenario for you.
I'm nervous based on how you just dealt with that one.

Speaker 2 (08:13):
I just shut it down, all right, very good, Thank you, ma'am,
Thank you. I hope I'm helpful.

Speaker 1 (08:17):
Well, she came to you with that complaint. What are
you gonna do for Aaron M Barlow's mustache sweat?

Speaker 2 (08:27):
Hey, y'all come around Aaron sweating.

Speaker 1 (08:39):
And Eric doesn't want this segment to end until Josh
tells a story from when he was a menopause champion
and probably had a belt made up. Oh Erin's foreheads
pretty bad too, full face, full face

Speaker 2 (09:04):
