The Cigar Diaries

The Big Dad talks about Employee Risk. What is it and why are Employees assessing risk when it comes to their jobs.

In a recent interview the CEO of a large retailer expresses his opinion about Employees and Laziness. The Big Dad rebuts this opinion with his own. Employees aren't lazy they are assessing the risk factors associated with their non-monetary investment and in some cases the ROI is not commensurate with their expectations so they are saying "No Thank You. I choose not to invest my labor into your venture."  That is the topic today on the Big Dad Show!  Don't Forget to follow us on all our socials!  https://twitter.com/thebigdadshow https://www.instagram.com/hisgrungemajesty/ https://www.instagram.com/thebigdadshow/ The Intro music was made from songs from UPPBEAT!  Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/all-good-folks/mr-mischief License code: REQXDUT4QTXFK4IF https://uppbeat.io/?referral=william-zfpqk
