Speaker 1: All right, Mojo in the morning.
Speaker 2: So I got a phone call yesterday from somebody that
Speaker 2: wants to hire somebody that I know and actually you
Speaker 2: guys know, and said that they were looking for me
Speaker 2: to give a reference.
Speaker 3: Wait, the person that is looking for the job wanted
Speaker 3: you know.
Speaker 2: So the person who's hiring called me up out of
Speaker 2: the blue and said, Hey, I need to ask you
Speaker 2: a question. There's somebody that you know and I want
Speaker 2: to know your thoughts on if I should hire them
Speaker 2: for a position. And I said, okay, who is that?
Speaker 2: They told me the name. And when they told me
Speaker 2: the name, I went, hmmm, interesting. I was not put
Speaker 2: on their reference. They just called out of the blue,
Speaker 2: which is interesting. It's kind of probably smart, right they
Speaker 2: call out. They don't just call their references, because your
Speaker 2: references are never going to talk crap about you.
Speaker 1: You call people that they never understood that for exactly
Speaker 1: that reason of why you actually.
Speaker 4: Have references, because your references, of course, are only going
Speaker 4: to say amazing thing. Exactly, You're going to only pick
Speaker 4: those people.
Speaker 2: Although you know, it's illegal to say a bad thing
Speaker 2: on a reference. Did you know that is what I
Speaker 2: would be? So honest, it's illegal. To give a bad reference.
Speaker 2: It's you have to say. Then you have to say,
Speaker 2: you know what, I declined to give you a reference.
Speaker 1: So that's kind of your way of knowing it.
Speaker 2: I don't know, but I just I've always been told
Speaker 2: by HR and stuff to not do it. So let
Speaker 2: me tell you this, is this a reference red flag?
Speaker 2: This person has had three jobs in less than a year,
Speaker 2: So they have had three different jobs in less than
Speaker 2: a year. And I want to ask this question. And
Speaker 2: by the way, it's not that they've had three jobs
Speaker 2: at the same time. They have hired, left, hired left, and.
Speaker 1: Now are in a new position.
Speaker 2: So is how many jobs can you have in a
Speaker 2: year before it's a red flag?
Speaker 1: And I want to do a poll.
Speaker 2: And I put this in my topics and I think
Speaker 2: that I did a really nice job with the logo
Speaker 2: was on this thing hare. So ask this question if
Speaker 2: you can, Bianca on our story, because I think that
Speaker 2: this is actually an interesting question. How many jobs can
Speaker 2: you have in a year? Red flag for two, complete
Speaker 2: siren for three, or absolutely not. I would never hire
Speaker 2: them if they've had four or more jobs.
Speaker 4: I actually wouldn't think anything of two either, but three
Speaker 4: i'd be like, Okay, what's the story here.
Speaker 2: So this particular person, do you think that I should
Speaker 2: have read flagged their reference that they've had three jobs
Speaker 2: in a year?
Speaker 1: Yeah, did you not?
Speaker 2: I just said to them, Yeah, I just said to them.
Speaker 2: I said, listen when when I worked with him, I
Speaker 2: thought it was great. But it obviously wasn't because they laughed.
Speaker 1: But you know what I mean, it wasn't given a
Speaker 1: bad reference.
Speaker 3: Isn't fully illegal, but it can be if his statements
Speaker 3: you are misleading, discriminatory, false, or milicias. So you can
Speaker 3: be honest in your experience. If it was two jobs
Speaker 3: in a year, I'm not bad in the eyelash like things.
Speaker 3: Two jobs is two jobs, two jobs and two jobs,
Speaker 3: anything could happen. They're saying that nowadays, that that's the
Speaker 3: big thing that a lot of the utes are doing. Yeah,
Speaker 3: the the younger you know, teens and twenty somethings are
Speaker 3: actually working jobs and quitting jobs.
Speaker 1: Like I like, I like relationships.
Speaker 3: I find yourself and if you are not happy in
Speaker 3: a situation, you have every right to leave, just like
Speaker 3: the company has every right to fire you whenever they want.
Speaker 3: If I'm an employer, though, then you're a liability. But
Speaker 3: if I'm you know, an employee, I'm gonna do what's
Speaker 3: best for me every single time, and I think it
Speaker 3: will catch up.
Speaker 2: So here's the thing. I agree with you one hundred percent.
Speaker 2: I think it will catch up to people if they
Speaker 2: do it too much because in this case, but there
Speaker 2: are sometimes I know, I know some you know companies
Speaker 2: that are just looking for warm bodies and it's not
Speaker 2: even a situation of anything other than they just need
Speaker 2: to have like a placeholder or something. But hold on,
Speaker 2: NICKI is in human resources. What do you want to say, NICKI, Well.
Speaker 5: Well, my I also work in the HR side, and
Speaker 5: my comment is I wouldn't even recommend to call someone
Speaker 5: personally just for as for references, because I feel like
Speaker 5: it's also going to be buyer.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what do you think about this situation where they
Speaker 2: called me. I wasn't their reference, but they said that
Speaker 2: they knew that I worked in the past with the person.
Speaker 5: Legally, you're not supposed to, especially if you're not in
Speaker 5: the list. That's what I said.
Speaker 2: Oh, that's what you meant by what you were saying. Okay,
Speaker 2: all right now, I understand that that's.
Speaker 6: What I meant.
Speaker 1: But again, but it's okay.
Speaker 5: Connection where this hr.
Speaker 2: But for me, the person actually is a form a
Speaker 2: former friend who's a friend that called me a guy
Speaker 2: that I knew. I never worked with them, but we've
Speaker 2: been friends for a long time and he's always wanted
Speaker 2: to work with me. But Bob Pittman has always been nicer.
Speaker 2: I've never left. I've never left Bob Pittman. I I
Speaker 2: have loyalty to him. What's up, Nia? How you doing?
Speaker 7: I am good?
Speaker 1: How are you good? Nia? What's up? We're talking about
Speaker 1: how many jobs in a year? Is it a red flag?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 7: Well, I hope I'm not a red flag because last
Speaker 7: year I did have three jobs.
Speaker 8: And the thing is, so I had the first job.
Speaker 7: I had, I had been there already for nine months,
Speaker 7: and I told myself, I don't want to have been
Speaker 7: there a year because this is like not what I
Speaker 7: want to do and I don't want to get like
Speaker 7: comfortable here. So that's why I decided to leave there.
Speaker 7: And I decided and I got my nut job. But
Speaker 7: then there was like a situation there with somebody and
Speaker 7: like my husband was like, you just need to leave
Speaker 7: this toxic environment. And that's when I got my third job.
Speaker 7: But then I ended up getting fired from there because
Speaker 7: I was a teacher aide and I one I had
Speaker 7: a situation where I didn't know one of my students
Speaker 7: was wasn't with me, So yeah, oh what, you lost
Speaker 7: the team.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie this.
Speaker 4: This all sounds like cred flag.
Speaker 1: We won't get into it. I don't know. I don't.
Speaker 2: Hold on a second. Marlene was going out in the morning,
Speaker 2: well not hired.
Speaker 1: Hi.
Speaker 6: Hi, I just want to tell you, you know, you
Speaker 6: can't judge a book by its cover, and you can't
Speaker 6: judge it by how many jobs I've had, baby, because
Speaker 6: I'm a nurse and I had to hire on seven
Speaker 6: different home care companies because every time I hired it
Speaker 6: on got an orientation, they didn't have any work. Somebodys
Speaker 6: for a month, or they throw me a lousy two
Speaker 6: hours work. Who the heck can eat and pay their
Speaker 6: bills on that? They have been forced to get seven
Speaker 6: different jobs in it okay, and it sucks, man. I
Speaker 6: got guess what yesterday? I prayed My daughter went through
Speaker 6: one cancer surgery, chemo, and then she got off a
Speaker 6: cruise to celebrate her life with her husband. She went numb.
Speaker 6: They took her to the hospital. She had two brain tumors.
Speaker 6: They had to operate. She's now home healing and these
Speaker 6: and and you know what, I went through all this,
Speaker 6: still working, fighting my tears and telling these.
Speaker 8: People what's going on.
Speaker 6: Heartlessness can be and they're in the medical field. I
Speaker 6: cannot tell you what hell I've been through. My dad
Speaker 6: died a year ago and it left me with one
Speaker 6: third of income that I can't even live on, so
Speaker 6: I am forced to work jobs because my social Security
Speaker 6: is are enough. So I cannot tell you how much
Speaker 6: this made me upset because of listening to this.
Speaker 8: And thinking, you guys don't even know what people go through.
Speaker 6: Why doesn't he have six or seven or eight or
Speaker 6: what the hell ever?
Speaker 4: You know what the job, your story is very different
Speaker 4: than the previous caller. If you told somebody that story,
Speaker 4: that is that is so different than you know. Obviously
Speaker 4: there are different situations.
Speaker 1: Marlene, are you? Are you? You gonna wake up today
Speaker 1: though and make it a good day.

Speaker 6: never had the chance to.
Speaker 2: And he's the person I was talking about, the guy
Speaker 2: that's trying, that's hiring. So the person that the person
Speaker 2: that is hiring has always wanted to work with me
Speaker 2: and we never got a chance to do that. The
Speaker 2: person that he was calling about had been somebody that
Speaker 2: had been in my past that they were calling to
Speaker 2: ask if they should hire, and I said, I think
Speaker 2: you should. They seem like they would be great. They
Speaker 2: were great with me until they weren't. They You know
Speaker 2: until they left, So that's what it was talking about, Sharon.
Speaker 2: So I think you misheard what I'm saying.
