33
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 1: who's gone back the most. There's two different angles we

34
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 1: can take with this. Who's gone back to their job

35
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 1: the most? Some people would have been and some people

36
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 1: did rightly, So you have emotions, right. There are some

37
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,919
Speaker 1: people that left the job and then they burned down

38
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:13,119
Speaker 1: the building. You didn't do that.

39
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:14,919
Speaker 2: I did not. I did not scorch the earth.

40
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 1: No, there are some people that will never want to

41
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 1: come back to their old job, but there are some

42
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 1: people that do. So I want to know who's got

43
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:27,680
Speaker 1: Katie beat on it. Who's gone back to their who's

44
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:30,520
Speaker 1: gone like you quit and then went back, gwent went back,

45
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 1: quin went back eighty three. But also because I bet

46
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 1: you that We're gonna get some good stories with this one.

47
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 1: Who's gone back to their acts the most anyone in

48
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 1: here gone back to an X before. I've not anyone

49
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:50,080
Speaker 1: ever spinned the block. Nope, not in recent memory, not

50
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 1: actual past. I think actually no, one time, one or

51
00:02:53,960 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 1: two times. Why Uh, because I thought, Joe that things

52
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 1: that had happened in the past were fixed. And then

53
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 1: once you get back with them and then you realize, Okay,

54
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 1: this person is still the same person. You realize that

55
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 1: it's not gonna work out to it his their fault,

56
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:14,639
Speaker 1: not yours. I think it would be more mutual than anything.

57
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,359
Speaker 1: I mean, you also as yourself have to change too

58
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 1: if you're gonna want to make things work out. It's

59
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 1: most of the time it's a mutual breakup. We're jumping around,

60
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 1: we're ping ponging back to the whole job thing. Was

61
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 1: any part of you uncomfortable coming back or were you

62
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 1: just excited?

63
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 2: It was kind of like butterflies.

64
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 3: And it was crazy because I'd be on the phone

65
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 3: with my mom and I'm like, I'm nervous, but I

66
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 3: don't know why. And then as soon as I stepped in,

67
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 3: it was just everything went away.

68
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 1: We uh, last last year, last month? Did we do

69
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 1: it in December? November? I don't remember, but we announced

70
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 1: that you were back in the building, so internally people

71
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 1: knew that you were coming back for like a month.

72
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 1: I think last month what brought more nerves was it

73
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 1: going in and seeing all the coach I mean we

74
00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 1: were in a room and with like thirty people and

75
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 1: we announced to everyone. Was that more anxiety ridden or

76
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:04,840
Speaker 1: coming in Monday morning?

77
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 3: Uh?

78
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 2: Oh? I don't know.

79
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 3: I do remember being in that conference room and I

80
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 3: love our sales staff, but I remember being very sweaty

81
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 3: because I was nervous, but I was excited. It's the

82
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:19,839
Speaker 3: same emotion. And Monday was that was kind of like

83
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:21,599
Speaker 3: nervous for me too. But again, as soon as we

84
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 3: got into it, it was just, yeah.

85
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:27,279
Speaker 1: Well this is where you belong. Seventeen years. Doesn't happen

86
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 1: on accident and people make mistakes. And I love our company,

87
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:35,239
Speaker 1: This company like has afforded me in a beautiful life.

88
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:39,240
Speaker 1: But they messed up and they realized that and they

89
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:40,920
Speaker 1: fixed the mess up. Because we all mess up. We're

90
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:45,600
Speaker 1: allowed to mess up. How about this, though, Chee Aspen,

91
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:48,600
Speaker 1: you went back to your job five times?

92
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:54,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, I worked at a party city and then multiple

93
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:58,719
Speaker 4: times found better jobs for more money, and then those

94
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 4: other jobs went out of business.

95
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:04,359
Speaker 1: No kidding, Yeah, so I had to.

96
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:06,440

Speaker 1: I'm very curious about that.

148
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:51,040
Speaker 5: I've been in healthcare for thirty years. So when I

149
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 5: started at this nursing home, I got fired twice management issues,

150
00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 5: and then because I care about the patient, I would

151
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 5: quit and come back, and then until I finally moved

152
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 5: to Florida.

153
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 1: How are you doing on your job now?

154
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 5: I just started a new job.

155
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 1: Okay? Cool? And you like it?

156
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 5: Yeah?

157
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 1: Is it good enough to where if things did happen

158
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 1: you would go back to the job or is it

159
