• 10:02
  Speaker 10: I worked for a large local furniture and appliance feeler.
• 10:06
  Speaker 10: We probably all know who it is anyway, So I
• 10:10
  Speaker 10: had to I had to work a week on delivery
• 10:13
  Speaker 10: because somebody was out on vacation, and I worked with
• 10:15
  Speaker 10: this driver who anyway it was. It was after our
• 10:19
  Speaker 10: last delivery of the day. We were driving back to
• 10:22
  Speaker 10: the warehouse and we just so we were passing in
• 10:24
  Speaker 10: elementary school. This guy started just going off about how
• 10:30
  Speaker 10: hot he thought all these elementary school age Oh and
• 10:36
  Speaker 10: so I know I stopped him.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: Good, I mean good good.
• 10:41
  Speaker 10: Yeah, And I said, these are these are young girls.
• 10:43
  Speaker 10: You stick s ob you know, and said, you know,
• 10:46
  Speaker 10: oh I'm and he goes, oh, I'm just I'm just looking.
• 10:49
  Speaker 10: I'm not touching.
• 10:50
  Speaker 8: Ah.

• 10:55
  Speaker 10: beat the living cusscuss cuss at you right here in

• 11:02
  Speaker 10: of the way back and didn't look at me one
• 11:03
  Speaker 10: more time. So I get back to work and I
• 11:06
  Speaker 10: go straight to my boss and tell him everything that
• 11:09
  Speaker 10: was that he said in the track, and I said,
• 11:11
  Speaker 10: I do not want to work with this guy. I'm
• 11:13
  Speaker 10: gonna quit if I ever have to see this guy again. Luckily,
• 11:16
  Speaker 10: the guy that day he parked his truck, clocked out
• 11:19
  Speaker 10: and never came back to work. I never had to
• 11:21
  Speaker 10: see him again. But probably the worst person I ever
• 11:25
  Speaker 10: had to work for.
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: Thanks, Let's go to Christine. Hello Christina, Christina, Hi, good
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: morning NY.
• 11:37
  Speaker 13: So I worked for a lady. She was like, she
• 11:41
  Speaker 13: said that she's gonna purposely pay me under the table
• 11:45
  Speaker 13: so I can qualify for assistance because I was a
• 11:49
  Speaker 13: single mom. And I'm like, I don't understand the logic
• 11:54
  Speaker 13: behind that, because don't you want to raise people up
• 11:59
  Speaker 13: and pay your employees and make sure that they have
• 12:03
  Speaker 13: enough money to support themselves. And instead she was just like,
• 12:08
  Speaker 13: we're going to pay you under the table to make
• 12:10
  Speaker 13: sure that you just barely get by in life.
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: That makes I hope you didn't work there very long.
• 12:20
  Speaker 13: I didn't. I lasted one full day and then I
• 12:23
  Speaker 13: was done.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: I'm like, did you did you get under the table
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: to get your your one day's worth of pay?
• 12:31
  Speaker 8: I didn't.
• 12:32
  Speaker 13: I did get to use her very nice restroom at
• 12:35
  Speaker 13: her very nice house in Harriman, and that was it.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: All right, thanks, all right, thank you very much. I've
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: I've worked jobs that they paid me under the table,
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: off the record.
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: Off the record, all right, thank you. Let's go to
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: miss miss miss d hellos D.
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: What's your story? Hell so hi, I.
• 12:58
  Speaker 7: Worked for a pre K school that you know you
• 13:02
  Speaker 7: have to pay for and during COVID. During COVID, I
• 13:05
  Speaker 7: was the last one hired, so the first one laid off.
• 13:09
  Speaker 7: No go through the process getting unemployment. And then she
• 13:14
  Speaker 7: called unemployment to say that I got quote fired, so
• 13:17
  Speaker 7: I wouldn't get unemployment because she hadn't paid her unemployment
• 13:20
  Speaker 7: dues for fifteen years.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: Oh well, there you go.
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: That's bad.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, she probably called to say that you were that
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: you quit, because if you quit, you don't it's harder
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: to qualify exactly if you can. I think you can,
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: but it takes. So she probably said that you quit.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: If you're fired, you can get benefits immediately.
• 13:42
  Speaker 7: So there was Yeah, it was a whole lawsuit and everything.
• 13:46
