Welcome back to shit, shit, shit, shit, folks.

0:18.1

How are we doing?

0:19.6

So today, we're doing something a little different.

0:22.7

I'm letting you all take a peek inside one of our sub-communities that we have here on the

0:28.1

shit show ship. This is the employment struggle session. So this is a group that meets every other

0:34.3

Wednesday at 1 p.m. Eastern. And it is a space where folks can talk about

0:38.9

anything and everything job related. So whether that's you're looking for work, you're struggling

0:45.4

at your current job, or you're just trying to figure out how the hell all of this childhood

0:49.1

stuff shows up at the workplace. Because let's be real, it definitely does. I mean,

advice and give support on all of this shit. So if you feel like you can relate to some of those

1:34.0

issues that I just named, and I know you can, and you don't feel like you have anyone in your life

1:38.4

who gets it or you don't have a safe place to come and speak about this stuff. Well, then damn the join already. Okay,

1:46.0

damn the join. We are waiting for you. So I sat down with some of the members of the

1:51.3

employment struggle session to ask them some questions and hear their stories. So let's get on
