00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,160
Speaker 1: This is the Fitting and Whip with Kate Richie podcast.

2
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:05,440
Speaker 1: Here's an idea. I mean, not long ago, we filled

3
00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:08,360
Speaker 1: in a survey about what it's like to work at Nova.

4
00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:11,840
Speaker 1: You know those surveys that come around anonymous, and you

5
00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:14,280
Speaker 1: can talk about the highlights and changes you'd like to

6
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:17,600
Speaker 1: see what the work benefits.

7
00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:22,320
Speaker 2: The free The free shelf is really like you said before, Kate,

8
00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:22,960
Speaker 2: there's a lot.

9
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:24,279
Speaker 3: Of free porridge in there as well.

10
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:26,239
Speaker 2: We get looked after so much here at Navan.

11
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:32,520
Speaker 1: Apples, bananas, sometimes a hat, sometimes a hat. I wear

12
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 1: many in this building. This was interesting.

13
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:36,120
Speaker 2: You're so deep.

14
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:38,199
Speaker 3: This was interesting.

15
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:42,080
Speaker 1: A one business called the Whiteline Group. They have listened

16
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:44,880
Speaker 1: to their employees and the employees on the survey said,

17
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 1: we work so hard, we don't even have time to date.

18
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:54,040
Speaker 1: We work so hard that our personal relationships are struggling.

19
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:59,400
Speaker 1: The business heard them and they organized everybody who was

20
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 1: single for this business. They've said, we're going to pay

21
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:06,319
Speaker 1: for your Tinder profile. We're going to shout your Tinder

22
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:10,480
Speaker 1: gold and Tinder platinum, which is the what does that mean? Well,

23
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 1: you can actually see more who's liked your profile and

24
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:17,200
Speaker 1: things like that, and offers more privileges, privilege, privileges Kate.

25
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:20,040
Speaker 2: I think you swipe up Kate instead of swiping right.

26
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 1: There's a lot a lot of.

27
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 2: I mean, it's a crazy world out there. It'd be

28
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 2: swiping all over nuts.

29
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 1: Anyway, they have the plan not on the first day,

30
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:36,840
Speaker 1: wiping not wiping.

31
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 3: So the thing is they've suggested that they will actually

32
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 3: let you take time off work during the day to

33
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 3: go on a date, a lunch date, yes, where you

34
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 3: were allowed to go for a wander in the park.

35
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 1: Is one couple of us seen doing that made it work?

36
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 1: And then she was fed a watermelon on a skewer.

37
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 1: I don't know why they included that detail.

38
00:01:58,400 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 3: Country is this it?

39
00:01:59,640 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 2: This? Is it?

40
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 1: Thailand?

41
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 2: Oh wow?

42
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 1: So if you want to decide that you're working so hard,

43
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 1: but all of a sudden you've paired with someone on Tinder,

44
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:10,519
Speaker 1: you've matched with someone on Tinder, then the company will

45
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:13,680
Speaker 1: understand that for the next hour you need to spend

46
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 1: some special time with someone that you've just matched with.

47
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:18,119
Speaker 1: How many Tinder days do you get off?

48
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:20,080
Speaker 2: That's an amazing work benefit.

49
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:23,360
Speaker 1: Well, they're open to you Tinder dating in the entire time.

50
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:26,080
Speaker 1: If you if you organize a Tinder date during work hours,

51
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 1: you are free to take that Tinder date.

52
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 2: And is the watermelon on a stick? Is that kind

53
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 2: of gone back to you? Is it code for something?

54
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 2: Is it like when you you know, when you're trying

55
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 2: to meet someone at the grocery store and you meet banana,

56
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:42,520
Speaker 2: the hand of bananas facing up or down, or something

57
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 2: like giving someone a water you were with looking for

58
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 2: the same sex.

59
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:49,519
Speaker 1: I thought that was the same bananas or the watermelon,

60
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 1: or is that a straw data straw? Do you know

61
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 1: what I would have suggested, if you're on a first

62
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 1: date and you're feeding a watermelon or a stick into

63
00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:58,239
Speaker 1: a girl's mouth.

64
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 2: You thought you could probably herself.

65
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 1: That's what I would have thought.

66
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 2: If she has hands, she can feed herself from skewer.

67
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 1: I thought it might have been a little bit of

68
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 1: venturous to offer the watermelon on zistick.

69
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:14,520
Speaker 2: So where are we at? What are we doing today?

70
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 1: We're going for a walk in the park. Bobby's organized
