Absurd Truth: Lazy Girl Jobs

Dana Lashes of Sir Truth Podcast, sponsored by Kel-Tec. It's his life mission to make bad decisions. It's time for Florida Man. This is an epic story. I mean, this is one. I think in the recap of the Florida Man stories for the year, this dude probably should be top three. So check this out. Well, we were away from the microphone.

Over a couple of days. So, Lee County Sheriff's Office is saying that they were, I don't, see, I don't know if they caught this dude. I need to refresh to see if they caught him. But it's a dude who went into a Bass Pro Shop. He is seen on video investigating what they call a fishy situation. So this guy was caught on camera at the Bass Pro Shop. And he grabbed a large fishing net, a large fish net.

Lee County Sheriff's Office saying that looking for this guy, grab that fish net from the shelf at the Bass Pro Shop in Fort Myers, Florida. And you know how, if you haven't been to Bass Pro Shop, you're missing out. It's, it's quite the experience.

Real pretty. And you can walk off dinner and see some really nice things. They have many of these places like a big fish tank. Huge, huge fish tanks.

Like going to an aquarium, but, but for free, right? So this guy takes that fish net off the shelf at the Bass Pro Shop, goes to the big tank, and winds up stealing a big fish. Dinner. That's what I think.

50 pound tarpon. He's seen on video walking away. There's pictures of him all over social media. Police shared the video hoping that the public would help out in catching this guy. Now, my apologies to the gang in Fort Myers. If you caught him already, I just, I'm looking at a Fox story from a couple days back.

I think he's probably in custody now. When it comes to their jobs. So this study from Gallup showed the results of two online polls.

Now it's a pretty good size pool. 18,000 respondents, each over the age of 18, who are working part time, full time in the country, found that one third of women reported being burned out in 2023. At least 69%, almost seven in 10 women said work life balance, personal well being was a top reason for taking their new job. I guess they wanted more flexibility, less work to do. 58% of men said the same thing.

And there's other statistics that we can share right now. Kathleen Caldwell, CEO from Caldwell Consulting, my guest. Let me ask you about this term that's in business. Lazy girl jobs. What is that, Kathleen?

Oh, yes. Well, it's a tick tock phenomenon, where women are gathering together and saying, Hey, we're going to have do have great jobs and look for jobs and be employed in jobs where we can do the minimum that's required, and draw a very, very solid line between work and home and have a work life balance that really doesn't cause us to do any more work that's necessary. And I think really, Sergio, this is just about women wanting more freedom, more autonomy, more power and more choice in their careers. And I mean, the term is, it's an interesting conversation. The term is not so great, because I don't think anyone wants to be designated as a lazy girl.

I'd like the term more freedom girl, you know, freedom and power girl. All right. Well, give me an example of some of these gigs then that you can do the bare minimum and still get away. I'm thinking it's like service sector jobs, right? Absolutely, absolutely. Where, you know, in with the pandemic, Sergio, we were able to essentially work remotely and, you know, put that line between being in the office and also being at home working at home. So there was a greater demarcation. But with now returned to office, that's happening.

It's, it's a little harder to do that. So service oriented jobs with the rise of AI and with the right rise of digital jobs. Customer service jobs, things where women can essentially be out of the office and maybe checked in with the office in person, maybe once a week or once every couple a couple days, something like that, and be less visible and have more autonomy.

No, I understand everybody wants that. But look, at the same time, like speaking as a manager, and I know that a lot of managers are tuning in to talk radio right now or owners. Well, that's not the type of employee that I want that I'm looking for. I want to find someone with a strong work ethic, someone who's going to be responsible, someone who's going to appreciate the fact that they belong to a team that is generating revenue, generating them and everybody else a paycheck and protect the product, whether it be service or something like that.

That's intangible. That's what I want. I think something needs to be baked into the selection process, the interview process to find the right work ethic.

I mean, what would you be looking for? I don't think you'd want a lazy girl or lazy guy working for you. Right? Yeah, yeah. And Sergio, I completely agree with you. And I think that there's a certain segment of the population. I mean, I appreciate this conversation. And at the same time, what this whole lazy girl phenomenon is really focused on is me, myself, and I, as opposed to just what you're saying is work, companies, organizations, we have to put the customer at the center of what we're doing, and our teams. And I think that the lazy girl phenomenon, you know, it's, it's, it's raising issues, it's going to be filtering out very, very soon, I'm very sure.

Because the focus on the triple win, I win, you win, the team warrant wins. And also, most importantly, the customer, the client, who are we doing all this for? What's the value proposition here? And so that's the missing link here with this lazy girl conversation is there's really nothing in there about, hey, what about co workers? What about colleagues? What about we're growing together? We're doing work that matters. And what are our conditions of satisfaction? Sergio, what are we doing as a team to make the world a better place? Because business does that.

For sure. You said some key words, you know, I'm with you work that matters. I think all work matters if you if you take that attitude, because in the end, again, I go back to the fact that all of our pages, whether it's a burger joint, or it's a salon, or it's a small manufacturer with producing lug nuts, or whatever, doodads, or, you know, some type of supplier business, whatever it is, we're all part of a team that is trying to push forward and protect the product and protect the revenue for everyone.

Everybody who has a family and insurance to pay for and bills to pay. That's the attitude, this mentality that I see online, which by the way, as an employment as a manager, that's the first thing I'd be checking is their online footprint. They're online, the social accounts to see what attitude because sometimes these these idiots, you know, that's what they are.

They at at work, they will take video of them goofing around, or insulting or diminishing the quality of the service, the product, this attitude that, oh, that's not my job. You can find them usually if they go fish around in their social sites. And I would imagine that would help you in your hiring process.

Look at their social sites. Absolutely. And during the interview process is how aligned is this employee, this potential employee? How aligned are they with the mission and the vision and the values of the company? If their sole purpose is to be able to check in and check out and ask about what are the benefits? What are the perks?

What are the things I'm getting? I would say that's the end of the interview, right? So many great people are looking for great companies and great causes. And let's put our focus on those people, Sergio, I think, as well. As opposed to the folks that are trying to create the me centered focus, and we know that that will not go well for anyone. So we're focusing in on we we're focusing on us.

And we all can win here. That's what I like to focus on. Thankfully, most of these individuals that are just seeking a paycheck and just clock in clock out. They're not very sophisticated to begin with.

So they're not very clever when it comes to hiding their their intentions. Well, it's a pleasure speaking with you, Kathleen. What do folks find you online?

Oh, Sergio, thank you. I am all over LinkedIn. I'm all over social.

I'm not a tight kick talk. It's okay. They're Communist Party owned anyway. Kathy and I, I don't have a tick tock either. Communist Party on tick tock. No, no, I'm not.

I'm not going there. So what other casting? Just look for Kathleen Caldwell, and they'll find you online, right? Caldwell Consulting Group.

Yes. Thank you very much. Thank you, Kathy. Love to love time the time with you.

Have a great holiday, friend. Good to talk to you. Stick around for a conversation on how to hire smarter managers for business owners. Got a 2024 wish for you hiring smarter in 2024.

I'm Sergio Sanchez. This is the Dana show from South Texas. Let's see some of the other headlines of the morning.

Sending out congrats to friends. Just next door over at SpaceX, SpaceX in Brownsville, Texas to protect it. So they made the news end of end of an era for one of SpaceX rocket boosters. Company said that it's Falcon 9 booster made its final flight on the Florida coast. Send another batch of Starlink Starlink internet satellites to low Earth orbit.

ICs forced the equipment to fall over on its side during transport back to Cape Canaveral. So it's the end of an era. And that's and dozens and dozens of flights for that booster rocket. That's how Elon Musk does it.

Can save a lot of money, millions of dollars by using the booster rockets over and over again. Let's see what else is here. Man, you can bet on anything.

I don't know. I guess we call it bookie in Vegas or something like this. In New Jersey, some guy won $500,000 for simply predicting the individuals that would score all the touchdowns in week 16 of the NFL. Travis Dufner from New Jersey correctly picked 14 players who would all score a touchdown during week 16. You want to know what the odds of this?

He put $5 on the table and walked away with $500,000 on this. That's crazy. And up in Detroit, good thing the Lions are having a good season. Man, talk about firing no cylinders.

The Pistons have set an NBA single season record 27 straight games that they lose. I'm Sergio Sanchez reporting to you from South Texas. This is the Dana show. Okay. Multiple times. Both of you have wasn't intentional, but if you want to take it personal, that's also she did do it intentionally twice.

You said she and then you said he you're being condescending. And if you want to continue, I have full authority escort you out the building. If you want to play, it's good to get real. But really, would you like to continue three days before Christmas? I really don't mind. I'll just put this on. Oh, my goodness.

If you haven't seen it, you need to go look for the because that airline employee, I think just set the standard rung the bell for 2024. That is how you handle a what, how do I refer to these, these folks? cultural, right cultural bullies, because it's culture war. Yeah, cultural bully. Welcome to the Dana show. I'm Sergio Sanchez from her southern command in South Texas of the studio.

Hope you had a good Christmas. We'll talk about that in just a little bit. Yeah, that was and I'm not gonna say this radicals name the LGBTQ plus activist dudes a bully. He's just an attention seeker. It's a power trip for these folks that demand that you bend a knee in front of them.

You go down and and kiss their boot, kiss their shoes or their their pumps that they're they're wearing these days. You get it. You get it.

pronounce your gender correctly. It's a Delta Airlines employee. It's the probably the inside, probably at the gate.

And I'm thinking it doesn't look like it's a ticket counter. But this guy stand, he stood up. So like, because he's he stated facts. I mean, it's your choice. Like I tell my my son. It's your choice to react after, you know, in a certain way lash out, be violent, be a jerk. It that's your choice. I know somebody else may have been a jerk, a jerk.

But it's Indiana is your choice. So this airline employee Delta Airlines. And I would hope that first of all, I hope that he still has a job by the end of the day, because the way things go these these days, this guy had a spine to him. And he wasn't going to take any lip from this LGBTQ trans activist. I don't I don't care where you stand on pronouns.

Like, it was not intentional. You get all up and you get in my face and get all offended. Well, that's your choice. And it's your choice to be all offended.

But, you know, you want to make an issue this. He's got TSA transportation, security people and security right behind him ready to give him back. I wish we had the same confidence in corporate America, because they know TSA backing them up. This guy showed a spine. I don't know if Delta Airlines is going to show a spine remains to be seen. So stay tuned to see what happens to this Delta Airlines employee going viral on social media, standing up against this trans act.

It was all it got all offended because it was misgendered enough of that. I think the overwhelming majority of Americans were just so sick and tired of all this. Mental illness, all this stupidity, all the normalization of these radicals. I hope and pray that in 2024, I hope and pray that corporate America grows a spine. And some of them go back and take a look at their all the red, all the hemorrhaging and their books. And whether it's Bud Light and Tarzay, Target, which didn't sound like for months and months and months, all these companies that advocated for all this cultural upheaval, this cultural revolution didn't stand up when the trans activists came knocking at the door demanding that they sell this, that and the other, or that they promote, you know, to against what their base stands for. I hope they take a look at all the money that they hemorrhaged back in 23. I hope that they take a look at this young man at Delta Airlines at that gate counter, take account of wherever he was.

And they learn how to grow a spine. No more power trip, no more saying yes, accepting power trips, capricious power trip. No more bending the knee to all these narcissists, because that's all they are. And it's his phone, right?

It's his phone, recording all this so he can upload to social media, you know, make himself have to be the victim, get all these hits and probably monetize for the thousands of hits that he gets probably monetize, make a buck, quick buck. There's no more bending a knee to these narcissists, no more power trips, no more cowardice in the face of these cultural bullies in 2024. Demand respect, demand civility, and in corporate America, just demand that, that these individuals will come calling and making all sorts of threats at you. Just demand that they be civil, that they show respect as well. And they show tolerance, which is the last thing that they want to show is any tolerance for individuals who don't believe what they believe.
