About this episode

Jerry Agar discusses a teacher's reprimand, travels with a nutritionist, nepotism in the workplace, and the trend of doomjobbing.

Jerry opens the show discussing a troubling incident out of B.C., where a teacher was reprimanded after calling a student a “fat kid” during a P.E. class. He shares his thoughts and takes listener calls about their thoughts.  Next, Jerry is joined by Lianne Phillipson, nutritionist and host of Eat This with Lianne , who shares her experience living out of an Airstream while travelling across North America.  Jerry then turns to a broader conversation about workplace relationships and nepotism. He asks listeners: is it ever appropriate to leverage family connections for career opportunities, or does it cross an ethical line? Finally, he explores the emerging trend of “doomjobbing,” where workers disengage from their jobs but remain employed while mass-applying for jobs.
