Episode 28 - D*ckish Employer Behavior

Humpday means it’s Dudes day for you.

Today the Dudes are talking about a new proposed Hyperloop system that could make travel times much shorter and more convenient.  A system should be up and running within seven years, Michael Morris, director of transportation for the North Central Texas Council of Governments, told the Dallas Business Journal in an interview.  The Dudes are all for it, so long at the NTTA stays the hell away from it.

Nick Vicious struggles and checks his moral compass in Rob Rotten after reading a 19-year-old father in Arkansas smothered his infant child before trying to revive her by shocking her with a live extension cord.  Should we feel bad for the young father?  Did he have an adequate support system around him to help raise his child? 

The Dudes tackle America’s “Labor Shortage Epidemic”, which is not what you think it is.  Employers are willing to do anything to fill jobs, except pay people more.  The Dudes talk about the toxicity of the job market and how people are not going to be willing to take it anymore, seeing as they can probably earn more on welfare than some of the wages employers are forcing on employees in order to continue bank rolling investors.

Finally, Walmart wants to start recording employees and customers in their stores, both visually and audibly.  Rob suggests they can merely go to people of Walmart to see what goes on in their stores.  Nick shares a story about a recent Walmart visit, and Rob recounts a summer spent working for the company.  They’re both quite entertaining.
