  Speaker 1: Aerow dot net. It's more than just a podcast. It's
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: twenty different daily choices. I mean, I've been in the
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: car where it's like, what do I want to listen
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: to now? I don't want to listen to the news.
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: I don't want to listen to sports. I don't want
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: to listen to this. I don't want to listen to that.
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: My God, we are picky when it comes to podcasts.
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: That's why we have Arrow dot net Arroe dot net.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: Enjoy your exploration. Hey, hey, what's going on? It's that
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: question guy? Always asking questions such as why do Americans
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: have to turn in a two week notice but a
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: business can fire you on the spot? Plus do we
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: have five fingers? And what's up with the thumb? My
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: name is Arrow. I'm a daily writer, a silent wolf.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: I stand on the sidelines and do nothing but watch, listen, study,
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: then activate. I call it the daily Mess. It is
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: my morning writing as a receiver of thoughts and ideas.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: We as people tend to throw things to the side
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: because we think we're gonna deal with it later on. Well,
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: I when a subject arrives inside of me, dude, it's
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: time to dig in. It's still keeping that daily journal.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: But by doing the research, the picture is going to
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: become clearer. This is the daily mess. Why do American
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: companies demand a two week notice when it's time to split. Well,
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: it's called a professional courtesy. Well how fair is that?
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: I mean, let's break this down. Working in the United
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: States is considered an at will employment, which means employees
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: can quit at any given time without a two week notice.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: So legally, employees are not required to put in that notice,
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: and that notice is designed to protect the company, not
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: the employee, to give them your time to find your replacement. Ooh, many, many,
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: many employees think this rule is very uneven. Businesses don't
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: have to give you a two week notice because it's
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: necessary for business, financial performance and security. In other countries,
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: both sides have to give a two week notice. Really,
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: so the real answer is you aren't obligated to turn
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: in a two week notice when you're ready to split
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: from that job. But like we mentioned before, it is
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: a professional courtesy and the employer you're walking out on
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: doesn't have to talk about how great you really are.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: But let's be truthful. If you are fired in any
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: US company, trust me, they have no idea who you
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: really are. Hey, coming up next, let's talk about something
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: that hits us right here in the hand. Your fingers.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: Do you have five? Or what's the thumb up to
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: that makes it only four? Hey, thanks for coming back
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: to the daily mess. Is your thumb looked upon as
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: being a finger? Well, people say they have five fingers.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: You've heard it. You've probably said it. Woll whoa, whoa, whoa.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: Hold on here, we've all got it wrong. A thumb
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: is not a finger. It is a digit. The thumb
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: is always distinguished from the four other fingers because it's
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: structurally very different. Talk about body shaming, right, your fat
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: and stubby thumb isn't a finger at all. A thumb
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: is a digit. The phrase we usually say five fingers
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: or five finger discount is nothing but everyday language, which
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: means to be proper, it's four fingers and a thumb.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: I should mention the word finger is really an ancient
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: German word. The thumb wasn't always that loner, though, no, no, no,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: no no. The separation began when decision makers all agreed that,
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: for some reason, that thumb is one of a kind.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: You know, probably the same people that said that thing
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: up there the sky, you know, the universe. They're calling
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: that planet Pluto. We're gonna change that. It's no longer
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: a planet. We're gonna change that. It's no longer a thumb.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: I marrow An. That's the daily mess
