Speaker 1 (00:00):
But we did have a call. We put out a
question another week. You know, every week we're gonna put
out a different question. It probably easier now because we
got more time to let people call in. But the
question that we had out there was does job security
really exist? And at this time we will play the
(00:22):
call in and come back and give you our answer.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
So does job security really exist? It depends on the job.
I think it depends on what you do, depends on
behind demand of it. But in a general job in
retail or anywhere else, no, it's really not job security.
You can be replaced by anybody at any point in time,
but it depends on the job. This has been from
(00:51):
BS three Sports. Appreciate your guys, keep doing what you're doing.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
Hey guys, Tricia from Two Girls on the Bench, just
calling about the question you put out. This job security
really exists anymore? And I'm gonna have to say no.
So this year my husband and Shauna's husband both got
laid off well end of last year and totally out
(01:19):
of the blue. My husband hadn't employed for twenty years
and they just decided where his location was too expensive
and just cut his position. Boom, nothing, And you know,
that happened, especially in corporate America. And I worked for
a big corporation where there's been a lot of layoffs
this year. And it's hard to understand because you work
(01:43):
for a big company that makes a lot of money.
They spend money on things like travel and stuff that
doesn't seem like it matters. Why would they have so
little respect for their employees that they, you know, lay
them off without even saying by. They just like make
people disappear. So yeah, I think job security is hard
(02:06):
to come by. And you know, I've been laid off
in the past too, And it's like just when you
think you have a niche that makes it so no
one could ever possibly lay you off because let's say,
no one could do your job, or you know, you
have more information than other people you work with. Everybody's
replaceable And it's sad, but it is. So it's not
(02:27):
a really good landscape out there when it comes to
and I would say, in my opinion, you know, you
just gotta the door he that keep on swimming and
uh do say employed and if something happens, you're always
(02:48):
the next best thing that really make them happy. No,
So let's find something that does and that's hard too,
don't get me wrong, but and we're still working on it.
I don't have any answer, but I don't know if
that's what you're real And no, there's not drop security.
(03:11):
Everyone's replaceful and don't be surprised if your company just
let you go without you know, saying anything.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Down man.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
So anyways, I'm still employed now, so I will take
that blessing and just keep on and love you guys.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
Bye.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Shout out to uh Bean for BS three Sports podcast
for his answer and Trisha from two Girls on the
Bench podcast for calling in.
Speaker 4 (03:44):
We appreciate y'all and uh hey.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
We're gonna have another question out this week, but what's
what's your take on that question? The job security really exist?
Speaker 4 (04:01):
I would I.
Speaker 5 (04:03):
Would say I'll probably think not unless it's your business.
I mean, even if it's your business, it's not really
secure because you can go under at any point depending
on you know. I don't, I don't not not not
when you're working for somebody. No, it's not secure because
(04:24):
if you hurt yourself, how much FMLA will you get.
Speaker 6 (04:29):
If you get it?
Speaker 5 (04:31):
Well, you you wouldn't on company time, so you can't
get the time off if you can't make you gotta
use your vacation time.
Speaker 6 (04:39):
Man, when when it's snowed and.
Speaker 5 (04:43):
My my supervisor asked me if I wanted to take
a vacation day or personally, I'm like, dude, it's snowed.
Speaker 6 (04:51):
What do you mean?
Speaker 5 (04:53):
You mean I gotta take away my vacation time because
it's snowed. I'm like, this is an emergency of state
wide emergency.
Speaker 4 (05:00):
But I guess at the same time, do you expect
to get paid?
Speaker 6 (05:05):
And that's the same thing. I'm not.
Speaker 5 (05:06):
I'm not mad, but I don't mind taking it, but
for days like this, because they have expected snow days.
So I'm thinking, well, if it's expected, I'm saying, shit.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
That for the school intention, but not for the people
who work for the school.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
So did you still expect to get paid even though
you didn't go to work without using your personal or
your vacation time.
Speaker 6 (05:31):
Yep, the state emergency, Hey, it's ay they take.
Speaker 5 (05:38):
They have the days set off to the side for
if they happen or if they do, just pay me
for those days.
Speaker 6 (05:46):
If you have it set to the side, like we
give y'all three to five you know days if if
you don't, if they don't happen.
Speaker 5 (05:55):
I'm just saying, you know, you don't get it, but
if it do, you get it and we just and
we make up for it and the way either way
it goes.
Speaker 6 (06:04):
So I don't know. But no security, the job security,
I don't.
Speaker 5 (06:08):
I don't, Like I said, if you're work it for somebody,
it's not secure because you can you can be walking
home from work as soon as you clock clock off
and step off a curve wrong on the premises, you
won't get FMLA because you're.
Speaker 6 (06:26):
Not on the clock, and you like, what dang. So
it's like you have to keep yourself one hundred. It's
like your damn what can you do?
Speaker 1 (06:36):
I mean, I know unions make it harder to fire
them fire people. Yeah, me and myself.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
I know.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
Job security do not exist because if you got like
an old guy running machine and you got this new,
perking young guy coming in, you know, all the experience
that the old guy had probably go out the window
because they gonna want somebody hooking up the numbers.
Speaker 6 (07:01):
You know what they do First they have the old
fella the.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
Other fella and they'd be like, I don't know that
that's your replacement.
Speaker 6 (07:08):
Just don't know that's your replacement.
Speaker 5 (07:10):
You be like, so this whole time, I'm teaching you
the ins and outs in you secrets. I'm teaching you
the secrets, and you sitting up in here eating it
up and like all right, be like he reports, I'm done.
Speaker 6 (07:23):
I got it all right. Look, uh, mister Richard running
had a lot of couple of people go be like,
I've been working here for forty years. You leave me
with a pendant. And that's the thing I don't get.
Speaker 5 (07:37):
You work for a company for years, two to three
to four decades and they give you a pendant.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
I already got the new person coming there tomorrow. Gotta
get you out.
Speaker 5 (07:51):
Be like, dude, I can't even get no movie tickets?
Speaker 6 (07:55):
Can I get a jama juice?
Speaker 5 (07:57):
I mean, dude, it's like you put your blood and
tears on one job for thirty or forty years and
they give you a pended to put on your shirt
that you're gonna probably lose about time you get to
the car. Yeah, how would you feel?
Speaker 6 (08:16):
I mean, if you look at it like that.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Man, it's hard because you making somebody else dream come true.
You know, you got people who go to work on
snow days, whether it be terrible.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
Outside, they go to work family emergency.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
They still go to work the extra loyal to the job,
just for that job, not to be loyal to them back.
So that part right there'll let you know that it
does not exist, because who are the first people to go?
(08:56):
If it's a budget cut. The bottom of the body
has a bottom, like imagine the supervisor stay there. It's
the employees and everybody who's down at the bottom, the
ones who suffer the most and get all.
Speaker 4 (09:09):
The blame for everything.
Speaker 6 (09:11):
Well, you you coming in here late all the time?
Are you serious? I came late twice. Well, this money
is just overrated too much. We don't have to let
you go or whatever. I wish, man, I wish.
Speaker 5 (09:28):
I wish the company would try to tell me, well,
I'm gonna need you to tell.
Speaker 6 (09:32):
Somebody that need they need to go.
Speaker 4 (09:34):
Well, it depends what position you in.
Speaker 6 (09:39):
I think that's what it be.
Speaker 4 (09:40):
So what would you do if you was a supervisor
you had to let somebody go?
Speaker 6 (09:47):
That'll be hard. I wouldn't if it's I would say,
I'm gonna say it like this. If it's a person
who need to go, Oh hell she hey, look look
this slip is pink. You need to leave school. Hey,
this slip is pink, you need to leave.
Speaker 5 (10:08):
I'm saying them, they pink slip, they're gone. But if
it's somebody who actually do their work, and it's like,
I can't tell them that they're laid off when they
do a whole lot better than this supervisor you got here.
Speaker 6 (10:21):
That's having double standards. I'm like, nah, man, that's I
wouldn't be able to do it.
Speaker 4 (10:27):
Yeah, but they gonna have you to lay the person off.
Speaker 6 (10:31):
Exact, I wouldn't be able to do it. I can't
sit up there and do that. And I know when
depending on what position you win, you know that they
do this.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
I don't.
Speaker 6 (10:44):
And the thing is, I don't like, just just.
Speaker 5 (10:50):
As an adult, I don't like when somebody tries to
send me to do their dirty work. Be like, if
you want that person going, go explain to them, why
don't send me when he's underneath my supervision and my
story isn't getting enough support after that person told you
what needs to be done, So.
Speaker 4 (11:13):
Have a crag add it?
Speaker 6 (11:14):
Yeah, let's not put it.
Speaker 4 (11:18):
I guess you got a point there,
But we did have a call. We put out a
question another week. You know, every week we're gonna put
out a different question. It probably easier now because we
got more time to let people call in. But the
question that we had out there was does job security
