Speaker 1 (00:00):
So we are just a little over two weeks removed
from the plane crash that, of course we're still feeling
the effect of, and certainly something that will stay in
the UH in the news wire for quite some time.
But after two weeks here's here's I guess where we
stand as far as just new developments when eventually that
(00:20):
will that will help us at some point down the
line get some real closure here. But again, even when
that happens, whenever it is, this will be something we
remember for a for a long long time, no doubt.
But the NTSBUH investigation, the U the updates, they'll be
here and there, but the actual closure of their investigation
will take it sounds like at minimum a year based
(00:41):
off of just how they've typically operated. But one thing
to UH to point out, the NTSB has a protocol
that the full cockpit audio will not be published, so
a specialized CVR group is instead going to prepare a
transcript of pertinent information that will eventually released. And I
will tell you I I did a lot of reading
(01:05):
and looking into previous plane crashes right after this happened,
just because I will be on I mean, I guess
just ignorance on my end. I didn't realize one how
often that it happens, and I really had no familiarity
with what the processes when these things do happen. So
hearing some of the audio from the cockpit from previous crashes,
(01:26):
it's chilling when you hear just the fear in the
final moments, and you can tell they some of some
of in some of in some instances, they were well
aware that that these were going to be the final moments.
So it's not as if the entire transcript's going to
be published, But but we'll get something, I would imagine
at some point. But they did say it could take
(01:48):
it could take several months. So again the uh, the
businesses that are still trying to get back to work,
I mean they've they've some of them have relocated to
set up shop elsewhere where and try to just get
by until they can get back into their building. But
there is economic injury disaster loans that are going to
(02:09):
be available for some of these businesses that have been impacted.
So Governor Basheer said the Small Business Association approved the
request for a disaster declaration, clearing the way for help
for eligible businesses and Jefferson bullet hard and Oldham, Shelby
and Spencer Counties Now. As far as help for survivors,
the Community Resource Center was opened up last week and
it's offering a broad range of services, including help for
(02:31):
those injured in the crash and those who've lost their
jobs due to damage from it. The crash site, of course,
remains closed as this investigation is still going on and
investigators are working through the rubble and just the mess
that was left. So again something will remember forever, but
slowly but surely. You can see that that everybody's trying
(02:53):
to get back to life as they knew it prior
to this happening, and for some, I'm sure it's it's
very difficult, and I would I would.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
I would tell you that if you.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Are maybe wondering why you're feeling as if it's impacting you,
because you're safe, you you're back to work, you didn't have,
you weren't harmed, but still just knowing maybe somebody that
was a victim that maybe lost their life, or just
knowing that you. I mean, it's a traumatic experience to
to avoid death whenever it could have it could have
(03:26):
easily happened to you, and just randomness of life was
working out in your favor. So again we are now
two weeks removed from it, and again we'll keep you
updated as best we can. And we got an an
update yesterday, as you've heard some of the some of
the coverage of that in John Shannon's news updates this morning.
But the president of UPS arriving two weeks after it happened,
(03:47):
maybe we'll get some of these cued up in the talkback.
But not surprised at all to hear when I threw
it out there to start the show this morning, that hey,
maybe there's a protocol, maybe there's a reason. But when
I hear that it took two weeks for the president
of UPS to be here in Louisville, that surprised me.
I would have expected the president of the company to
be here as soon as possible. Maybe this was as
(04:08):
soon as he could get here. But again not a
shock that at least some of you listening seem to agree.
But again I say that with one thousand percent honesty
that that there may be there may be a good
reason as to why he couldn't and wasn't here, But yeah,
something that can UPS. It's such a one of the
many reminders that that we've we've had from this experience.
(04:30):
It's just in the UPS is been here forever, been
here my whole life, right, and it's just something we're
used to. We don't spend a lot of time thinking
about it, but you really feel and can see just
the the what UPS does.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
For this for the world.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
And you know, whenever, whenever you have the shutdown they had,
even though it wasn't for a long time, that's something
that's going to to have an impact on those who
rely on UPS. And by the way, there are millions
that rely on UPS every single day, and of course UPS,
you know their their heart is right here in our community.
And again not to not to keep giving you word
(05:11):
solid here, but I can't prove it. There'll be no
way to actually ever know. But I feel like if
you are, you know, if you're a louivillion like, you
have to know somebody or maybe it's you, maybe it's
a loved one that like they spent twenty years working
at UPS, twenty five years working at board right there
near where it happened. I just think that there was
(05:34):
an element to that that made it seem so much
more to make to made you feel it because again,
it's a fortunate thing that we only had as many
victims as we did. It's a tragedy overall, but I
can't stop thinking about how easily it could have been
so much worse. All right, let's get to a quickupdate
of trafficking. Whether we've also got another sports a Day
(05:57):
coming up in about fifteen minutes. What I want to
get to coming up here on the other side is
a pardon that was issued by President Trump from somebody that.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
Is from right here in Louisville.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
We'll talk about that next right here at news Radio
eight forty whas. Thank you for hanging out with us
here news Radio eight forty whas. Happy hump day till
it is coffee and company and we are fueled by Thornton's.
So the uh January sixth, I've said this before, and
this is a good time to say it again. I
can view things and not at all really think about politics,
(06:31):
just because for the good a good chunk of my life,
it just hasn't been something that I was seeking out.
And now, of course it's you know, very we're very divided.
That's that's that's probably probably something you're already well aware of.
But January sixth. When I think of January six happening,
I still go back to being somebody that was there,
(06:54):
that participated, that knew you hadn't been identified yet, and
at any moment they're gonna you know, you're gonna get
a you're gonna get a knock on the door, you're
gonna get you're gonna see maybe news coverage of somebody
posting like, uh a an upscaled high quality still from
the footage that like identify that shows who you are,
(07:17):
uh And just what that feeling would be to know that, Okay,
every day there's a story out there where they've they've
arrested somebody for their involvement. Am I going to be
the next one? Because if you know, if you were
there and you participated, like you know that and it
I just the looking over your shoulder and just worried
about it, would be it would it wouldn't shock me
if there's some that just decided to self report, essentially
(07:40):
like hey, I don't know when you're gonna find me.
I don't know if I did anything that would have
actually crossed the line, but I want to at least
find out because I can't live with this fear of
of eventually you know, it ruining my life. So that
was something that was fascinating to me just throughout the
the years that it took to eventually identify some people
and of course a whole them accountable. Well, now there
(08:01):
are many that have been pardoned from that, and one
of those individuals is is a Louisville native, so Daniel
Edwin Wilson. He was under investigation for the January sixth
situation when authorities found six guns nearly five thousand rounds
of AMMO in his home and it was illegal because
he had prior felonies. So looking here, it just the
(08:24):
So there are two people specifically, one was this this
man will Daniel Wilson from Louisville, and then another was
was I believe a Florida woman who again she was
convicted of threatening FBI agents. Uh yeah, so let me
just get the full details here. So the two new
pardons are a Florida woman who is convicted of threatening
FBI agents and another that is for the Louisville man
that we just mentioned. But they remained in they remained
(08:45):
in prison because of separate conviction, separate cases, but they
were they've been given a pardon for the January sixth situation.
So both these cases of course highlight his continued willingness
to use his president power to to to give pardons.
And this is something that also this is this is political,
(09:06):
by the way, but it's just the truth. The pardon
power has been abused consistently by both sides for for
many years. It just has there and there's there's examples
that are there from you know, from Clinton to Obama,
the Bush, Trump, obviously Biden and I uh, it's one
(09:27):
of the if you can go there, right, if you
can truly remove your your affiliation to one side or
the other and just think about it from a human level,
that's what interests me. Because do you think you would
like if you knew you had the chance to use
the power you have to you know, help your kid.
That of course is one that's been talked about quite
a bit Biden, right, But like, would you would you
(09:49):
be able to not abuse it because you know you
just know that, hey, I can't do that, or would
you say, look, I'm not even really worried about optics.
I've got a chance to use power I have and
if it's gonna help my kid, right, or wrong. That's
what I'm gonna do. I mean, I don't think anybody
would truly know unless they were in that situation. But again,
if you were somebody that used to be worried about
(10:10):
eventually being out it, it's somebody involved in January sixth.
I'm sure that worry has lessened in recent years because
obviously President Trump has has made it pretty clear he's
gonna pardon those that you know, he feels should be pardoned.
And he again as the president, he can do.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
That, all right.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
Quick update of Travick and weather for you, also as
sports updates on the way. It is seven to twenty three.
Happy hump day, everybody, keep it locked right here with
us at News Radio eight forty whas.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
This is new to me.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
I've not heard of this.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
I wouldn't.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
I don't know if I can call it a trend,
but it's called revenge quitting. Nearly half of US workers
admit to revenge quitting a job. So revenge quitting or
suddenly resigning from a job without notice as a way
to show frustration is on the rise, according to a
new study from Monsters, the employment site surveys. They do
(11:03):
that every now and then, and they surveyed thirty six
hundred workers across the United States and find that forty
seven percent have done and have done it, and fifty
seven percent have seen at least one coworker revenge quit.
I mean, isn't revenge quitting just like quitting? Because you're like,
isn't every way of if you quit a job? And
(11:24):
I guess quitting resigning technically the same thing. But what
about it is is getting revenge? I guess quitting without
a guinea notice, like just going a wall. I guess
that could be considered like, yeah, you're getting your revenge
because you just stopped showing up and they had to
learn just how much they didn't appreciate you.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
I mean, it's probably the manner in which you do
it too, Like I'm sure there are some places, like
if you trash the building that you're in before you quit,
I'm sure they can charge you for that in some way,
shape or form, criminally and financially.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
So I don't I think I'm with you. Quitting is
just quitting?
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Yeah, I mean where do you get your revenge? I mean,
if anything, just you no longer being an employee, there
is I guess your revenge if you feel as if
they're going to really learn. But I would assume that
that is it really revenge if they're I guess them
learning the hard way that hey, they should have offered
you more money, they should have tried to keep you.
But I feel like if you quit a job, it's
(12:23):
more often sometimes it is just truly because you found
an opportunity that you that you feel like is better
for you, or it's you going in a different direction,
maybe switching careers to where I guess that isn't really
that has nothing to do with your current employers. Maybe
you just decided to make a change. Like for me,
I worked for a software company prior to being being
able to do this full time for a living, and
(12:45):
I've been able to this is this has now been
my career. Still sounds weird to say because I just
turned a microphone on and yeah, but hey, it's a
career for me and it's been a blessing. But for
ten years now, this has been my longest I've done
anything in my life. But before that, I work for
a soft for company and I really enjoyed that, not only
because of the company and the culture, but also I
liked what I did, so I would have never left,
(13:07):
but obviously I chose to pursue this and see if
I could make it work. And thankfully I'm still here.
So I can't really relate. But I think in a way,
you quitting and making them what you hope, I guess
learned that they should have appreciated you. I guess that
essentially is revenge. But yeah, I guess what qualifying what
constitute says is revenge quitting. That's what I'm having kind
(13:29):
of a tough time with because again, just quitting in general,
is you saying, you know, see you, you know, you know,
have fun without me.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
Maybe you just don't come back. If you just you
just you just never show up.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
I will say this is I've always given notice when
I leave a job, other than when I just walked
out of Hollister at fifteen, sixteen years old, and you know,
I just I went a wall there.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Oh those finish line for some reasons to finish.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
And I worked there for a little while and that
was a good experience for me. So yeah, I ended
on good terms there and that was a it was
it was a retail experience that made me realize I
don't ever want to work in retail. But also I
did enjoy that and I gave notice. But other than that,
you know, like other than the Hollister experience, I mean,
I've just always believed that. Like to me, it was
(14:15):
just like, well, hey, you know, if you leave, you
know you better you better make sure you do the
right thing and give notice because I was just always
taught that's I was raised to do the right thing.
And to me, it wasn't even a thought. When you
leave a job, you give a notice. But I will
say I've heard the opposite approach in recent years from
some And I'm not I'm not advocating people do this.
(14:36):
I'm not saying I would ever leave a job and
not give a notice. I mean, you really never know
until you're in that position. But I hear you when
you hear when when when people say they'll just move
on from you and say see you later, Like, why
why do you owe them something they wouldn't ever do
for you? And that is to me, like that's so true.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Yeah, they're not gonna say, oh, in two weeks, we're
gonna let you go.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
Yeah. How did it get to a point where like
there's this honor system that we are just like, you know,
we're viewed as is the worst in the eyes of
employers if we don't give a notice. And yet like
they wouldn't do the same thing, for like they're not gonna, hey,
you know, give you two weeks to figure something out.
No now, Again, I understand why they wouldn't do it,
because that would be a weird way for you working
(15:17):
there two more weeks. But also, you know it in
the end of the world if somebody just says, like, hey,
it's been nice, I no longer work here after today,
you can figure it out, and the clutching of the
pearls like this, I can't believe it like that that
that if that went away, it would make a lot
of sense to me. But again, I think some people
just choose to do right and go out to because
(15:39):
what you what you need. I guess the fear is
that if you ever need them for a reference, if
you didn't give your note, I guess that's where they
hold you. Right, They've got you, They've got your hostage, right, like, hey,
you better give us a notice because eventually you may
want to put us on a resume as a reference.
And uh, if you go out without the the proper
two week notice, then you know we're gonna not give
you a good We're gon we're gonna let them know
you didn't. You didn't go out on the best of terms.
(15:59):
So anyways, they wouldn't do it for you as an employer.
So if you chose not to do it for them,
I would totally understand. It's not even like it's personal.
It's not you getting back at him. There's no revenge.
It just is is just treating them the way you'd
be treated in that.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
Situation if there was a breakup.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
All right, quick update of traffic of weather's on the
way right here at News Radio eight forty.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
Whas gould be another cool day.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
I don't think it's gonna get above fifty degrees at
least that's the expectation. So not too bad mild, I
would say when it comes to mid November weather. But
looks like we are going to get a break from
the rain. Yesterday pretty consistent throughout, and then last in
the evening in my neck of the woods we had
some real heavy downpour. So you know, this morning much
(16:45):
much different, which is good, right. I don't think there's
been as many traffic issues as we had yesterday, So.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
That's good news. All right.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
Let me talk to you guys about my friends at
the Jefferson Animal Hospital because I tell you all the
time about how they can be there for you. They
are there for you when it comes to an emergent
and see because they are the only I mean, there's
nowhere else you can get the kind of care they
can get you in this region when it comes to
twenty four to seven, three hundred and sixty five days
a year, even on holidays, and they've been doing that,
(17:12):
by the way, for forty five years. So that, of
course is something that I love sharing with you because
you need to know if an emergency happens with your pet,
they're there for you. And you never know when that's
going to happen, and there's a lot of worry and
stress when something like that can occur, I'm sure, but
the one thing you don't have to worry about is
knowing where you can who you can turn to. But
they also can help you when it comes to just
(17:33):
keeping your pets healthy. They've continue to be a national
leader in veterinary medical treatment and emergency traumacare. And if
you don't have a provider, if you never even think
of taking your pet to get checked out because you
just assume everything's okay. Well, don't assume that, you know,
you should always make sure that they're they're getting checked out,
(17:53):
getting shots that are needed, and of course getting checked
out to see if there's any any conditions that they
that they can't tell you about obviously, or maybe they
don't even know. So you don't stick around for over
forty five years unless you're taking care of customers taking
care of their pets. And for a lot of us,
pets are family, there are loved ones, and you want
to make sure that if something is happening, you can
(18:14):
you know, you know where you can go to get
them taken care of, and you also know where you
can go to just get updates to see if everything
is if everything's going okay. So they've got highly trained
veternerian surgeons, critical care nurses, a full support staff that
are available for you. And again you don't think about
it throughout everyday life until something happens. So don't wait
(18:36):
for that emergency, is what I'm trying to say. Be proactive,
Go see them, make an appointment. You can check them
out online at Jefferson vets dot com or give them
a call. FABO two nine hundred pets. All right, we'll
keep this thing rolling along, and I hope you stick
with us. We've got another hour and some change before
we wrap it up, so hang out. We've got a
sports update next right here at news Radio eight forty
WHS
So we are just a little over two weeks removed
from the plane crash that, of course we're still feeling
the effect of, and certainly something that will stay in
the UH in the news wire for quite some time.
But after two weeks here's here's I guess where we
stand as far as just new developments when eventually that
(00:20):
will that will help us at some point down the
line get some real closure here. But again, even when
that happens, whenever it is, this will be something we
remember for a for a long long time, no doubt.
But the NTSBUH investigation, the U the updates, they'll be
here and there, but the actual closure of their investigation
will take it sounds like at minimum a year based

But January sixth. When I think of January six happening,
I still go back to being somebody that was there,
(06:54):
that participated, that knew you hadn't been identified yet, and
at any moment they're gonna you know, you're gonna get
a you're gonna get a knock on the door, you're
gonna get you're gonna see maybe news coverage of somebody
posting like, uh a an upscaled high quality still from
the footage that like identify that shows who you are,
(07:17):
uh And just what that feeling would be to know that, Okay,
every day there's a story out there where they've they've
arrested somebody for their involvement. Am I going to be
the next one? Because if you know, if you were
there and you participated, like you know that and it
I just the looking over your shoulder and just worried
about it, would be it would it wouldn't shock me
if there's some that just decided to self report, essentially
(07:40):
like hey, I don't know when you're gonna find me.
I don't know if I did anything that would have
actually crossed the line, but I want to at least
find out because I can't live with this fear of
of eventually you know, it ruining my life. So that
was something that was fascinating to me just throughout the
the years that it took to eventually identify some people
and of course a whole them accountable. Well, now there
(08:01):
are many that have been pardoned from that, and one
of those individuals is is a Louisville native, so Daniel
Edwin Wilson. He was under investigation for the January sixth
situation when authorities found six guns nearly five thousand rounds
of AMMO in his home and it was illegal because
he had prior felonies. So looking here, it just the
(08:24):
So there are two people specifically, one was this this
man will Daniel Wilson from Louisville, and then another was
was I believe a Florida woman who again she was
convicted of threatening FBI agents. Uh yeah, so let me
just get the full details here. So the two new
pardons are a Florida woman who is convicted of threatening
FBI agents and another that is for the Louisville man
that we just mentioned. But they remained in they remained
(08:45):
in prison because of separate conviction, separate cases, but they
were they've been given a pardon for the January sixth situation.
So both these cases of course highlight his continued willingness
to use his president power to to to give pardons.
And this is something that also this is this is political,
(09:06):
by the way, but it's just the truth. The pardon
power has been abused consistently by both sides for for
many years. It just has there and there's there's examples
that are there from you know, from Clinton to Obama,
the Bush, Trump, obviously Biden and I uh, it's one
(09:27):
of the if you can go there, right, if you
can truly remove your your affiliation to one side or
the other and just think about it from a human level,
that's what interests me. Because do you think you would
like if you knew you had the chance to use
the power you have to you know, help your kid.
That of course is one that's been talked about quite
a bit Biden, right, But like, would you would you
(09:49):
be able to not abuse it because you know you
just know that, hey, I can't do that, or would
you say, look, I'm not even really worried about optics.
I've got a chance to use power I have and
if it's gonna help my kid, right, or wrong. That's
what I'm gonna do. I mean, I don't think anybody
would truly know unless they were in that situation. But again,
if you were somebody that used to be worried about
(10:10):
eventually being out it, it's somebody involved in January sixth.
I'm sure that worry has lessened in recent years because
obviously President Trump has has made it pretty clear he's
gonna pardon those that you know, he feels should be pardoned.
And he again as the president, he can do.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
That, all right.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
Quick update of Travick and weather for you, also as
sports updates on the way. It is seven to twenty three.
Happy hump day, everybody, keep it locked right here with
us at News Radio eight forty whas.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
This is new to me.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
I've not heard of this.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
I wouldn't.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
I don't know if I can call it a trend,
but it's called revenge quitting. Nearly half of US workers
admit to revenge quitting a job. So revenge quitting or
suddenly resigning from a job without notice as a way
to show frustration is on the rise, according to a
new study from Monsters, the employment site surveys. They do
(11:03):
that every now and then, and they surveyed thirty six
hundred workers across the United States and find that forty
seven percent have done and have done it, and fifty
seven percent have seen at least one coworker revenge quit.
I mean, isn't revenge quitting just like quitting? Because you're like,
isn't every way of if you quit a job? And
(11:24):
I guess quitting resigning technically the same thing. But what
about it is is getting revenge? I guess quitting without
a guinea notice, like just going a wall. I guess
that could be considered like, yeah, you're getting your revenge
because you just stopped showing up and they had to
learn just how much they didn't appreciate you.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
I mean, it's probably the manner in which you do
it too, Like I'm sure there are some places, like
if you trash the building that you're in before you quit,
I'm sure they can charge you for that in some way,
shape or form, criminally and financially.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
So I don't I think I'm with you. Quitting is
just quitting?
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Yeah, I mean where do you get your revenge? I mean,
if anything, just you no longer being an employee, there
is I guess your revenge if you feel as if
they're going to really learn. But I would assume that
that is it really revenge if they're I guess them
learning the hard way that hey, they should have offered
you more money, they should have tried to keep you.
But I feel like if you quit a job, it's
(12:23):
more often sometimes it is just truly because you found
an opportunity that you that you feel like is better
for you, or it's you going in a different direction,
maybe switching careers to where I guess that isn't really
that has nothing to do with your current employers. Maybe
you just decided to make a change. Like for me,
I worked for a software company prior to being being
able to do this full time for a living, and
(12:45):
I've been able to this is this has now been
my career. Still sounds weird to say because I just
turned a microphone on and yeah, but hey, it's a
career for me and it's been a blessing. But for
ten years now, this has been my longest I've done
anything in my life. But before that, I work for
a soft for company and I really enjoyed that, not only
because of the company and the culture, but also I
liked what I did, so I would have never left,
(13:07):
but obviously I chose to pursue this and see if
I could make it work. And thankfully I'm still here.
So I can't really relate. But I think in a way,
you quitting and making them what you hope, I guess
learned that they should have appreciated you. I guess that
essentially is revenge. But yeah, I guess what qualifying what
constitute says is revenge quitting. That's what I'm having kind
(13:29):
of a tough time with because again, just quitting in general,
is you saying, you know, see you, you know, you know,
have fun without me.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
Maybe you just don't come back. If you just you
just you just never show up.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
I will say this is I've always given notice when
I leave a job, other than when I just walked
out of Hollister at fifteen, sixteen years old, and you know,
I just I went a wall there.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Oh those finish line for some reasons to finish.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
And I worked there for a little while and that
was a good experience for me. So yeah, I ended
on good terms there and that was a it was
it was a retail experience that made me realize I
don't ever want to work in retail. But also I
did enjoy that and I gave notice. But other than that,
you know, like other than the Hollister experience, I mean,
I've just always believed that. Like to me, it was
(14:15):
just like, well, hey, you know, if you leave, you
know you better you better make sure you do the
right thing and give notice because I was just always
taught that's I was raised to do the right thing.
And to me, it wasn't even a thought. When you
leave a job, you give a notice. But I will
say I've heard the opposite approach in recent years from
some And I'm not I'm not advocating people do this.
(14:36):
I'm not saying I would ever leave a job and
not give a notice. I mean, you really never know
until you're in that position. But I hear you when
you hear when when when people say they'll just move
on from you and say see you later, Like, why
why do you owe them something they wouldn't ever do
for you? And that is to me, like that's so true.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Yeah, they're not gonna say, oh, in two weeks, we're
gonna let you go.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
Yeah. How did it get to a point where like
there's this honor system that we are just like, you know,
we're viewed as is the worst in the eyes of
employers if we don't give a notice. And yet like
they wouldn't do the same thing, for like they're not gonna, hey,
you know, give you two weeks to figure something out.
No now, Again, I understand why they wouldn't do it,
because that would be a weird way for you working
(15:17):
there two more weeks. But also, you know it in
the end of the world if somebody just says, like, hey,
it's been nice, I no longer work here after today,
you can figure it out, and the clutching of the
pearls like this, I can't believe it like that that
that if that went away, it would make a lot
of sense to me. But again, I think some people
just choose to do right and go out to because
(15:39):
what you what you need. I guess the fear is
that if you ever need them for a reference, if
you didn't give your note, I guess that's where they
hold you. Right, They've got you, They've got your hostage, right, like, hey,
you better give us a notice because eventually you may
want to put us on a resume as a reference.
And uh, if you go out without the the proper
two week notice, then you know we're gonna not give
you a good We're gon we're gonna let them know
you didn't. You didn't go out on the best of terms.
(15:59):
So anyways, they wouldn't do it for you as an employer.
So if you chose not to do it for them,
I would totally understand. It's not even like it's personal.
It's not you getting back at him. There's no revenge.
It just is is just treating them the way you'd
be treated in that.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
Situation if there was a breakup.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
All right, quick update of traffic of weather's on the
way right here at News Radio eight forty.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
Whas gould be another cool day.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
I don't think it's gonna get above fifty degrees at
least that's the expectation. So not too bad mild, I
would say when it comes to mid November weather. But
looks like we are going to get a break from
the rain. Yesterday pretty consistent throughout, and then last in
the evening in my neck of the woods we had
some real heavy downpour. So you know, this morning much
(16:45):
much different, which is good, right. I don't think there's
been as many traffic issues as we had yesterday, So.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
That's good news. All right.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
Let me talk to you guys about my friends at
the Jefferson Animal Hospital because I tell you all the
time about how they can be there for you. They
are there for you when it comes to an emergent
and see because they are the only I mean, there's
nowhere else you can get the kind of care they
can get you in this region when it comes to
twenty four to seven, three hundred and sixty five days
a year, even on holidays, and they've been doing that,
(17:12):
by the way, for forty five years. So that, of
course is something that I love sharing with you because
you need to know if an emergency happens with your pet,
they're there for you. And you never know when that's
going to happen, and there's a lot of worry and
stress when something like that can occur, I'm sure, but
the one thing you don't have to worry about is
knowing where you can who you can turn to. But
they also can help you when it comes to just
(17:33):
keeping your pets healthy. They've continue to be a national
leader in veterinary medical treatment and emergency traumacare. And if
you don't have a provider, if you never even think
of taking your pet to get checked out because you
just assume everything's okay. Well, don't assume that, you know,
you should always make sure that they're they're getting checked out,
(17:53):
getting shots that are needed, and of course getting checked
out to see if there's any any conditions that they
that they can't tell you about obviously, or maybe they
don't even know. So you don't stick around for over
forty five years unless you're taking care of customers taking
care of their pets. And for a lot of us,
pets are family, there are loved ones, and you want
to make sure that if something is happening, you can
(18:14):
you know, you know where you can go to get
them taken care of, and you also know where you
can go to just get updates to see if everything
is if everything's going okay. So they've got highly trained
veternerian surgeons, critical care nurses, a full support staff that
are available for you. And again you don't think about
it throughout everyday life until something happens. So don't wait
(18:36):
for that emergency, is what I'm trying to say. Be proactive,
Go see them, make an appointment. You can check them
out online at Jefferson vets dot com or give them
a call. FABO two nine hundred pets. All right, we'll
keep this thing rolling along, and I hope you stick
with us. We've got another hour and some change before
we wrap it up, so hang out. We've got a
sports update next right here at news Radio eight forty
