À propos de cet audio

 Ring-a-ding-a-ding — it’s our pod-iversary. One full year of Need Not Apply, and we’re celebrating the only way we know how: absolute workplace chaos, a little “why are you like this?” retail reality, and a news segment that somehow turns into buttons vs. touchscreens and please don’t frack my attention. Gina’s operating on approximately one functioning vertebra, Gary has 150 alarms and zero intention of clearing his notifications, and yet… we still clock in.Then we get into a lineup of stories that hits every flavor of quitting/firing energy: getting fired from a job you never had, an April Fools “joke” that backfires into raises and karma, a teen realizing their first job is basically dishwashing bootcamp, and a five-year employee rage-quitting straight into a fully remote glow-up.🧾 This Week’s Stories (Linked Below)BORU: “I got fired from Walmart and never worked there” 🔗 Link: [Story 1 – Fired from Walmart you never worked at]BORU: “My boss told me I was fired… April Fools!” 🔗 Link: [Story 2 – April Fools firing prank]r/jobs: 17-year-old dishwasher asks if they can quit after ONE day 🔗 Link: [Story 3 – Should I quit after one day?]r/antiwork: “I just rage quit my job of five years” 🔗 Link: [Story 4 – Rage quit into remote upgrade]📰 Articles & Discussion (Also Linked Below)Kākāpō breeding season returns — a rare conservation win, and why “less intervention” might be the long-term goal 🦜🔗 Link: [Article – Kākāpō breeding]Bring back buttons — Australia/New Zealand safety groups push for physical controls in cars, and why touchscreens = distraction overload 🚗🔘🔗 Link: [Article – Bring back physical controls]“Human fracking” — a piece arguing Big Tech is drilling into our attention like it’s a natural resource (and why that metaphor… unfortunately hits) 📱⛏️🔗 Link: [Article – Human fracking / attention economy]Redheads & orange pigment benefits — pheomelanin may help reduce cellular stress (yes, your hair color might be doing a job) 🧬🧡🔗 Link: [Article – Orange pigment & cellular protection]Implanted vagus nerve stimulation for severe depression — big results for treatment-resistant cases, why it may be slow-acting, and the “at-home stim device” rabbit hole 💛🧠🔗 Link: [Article – VNS depression]Vision recovery may be “rewiring,” not regrowth — the brain rerouting around damage like it’s GPS with attitude 👁️🧠🔗 Link: [Article – Vision recovery / sprouting]Elon says retirement won’t matter in 20 years — sure, buddy.
