OK guys, we are back and today we're going to talk about
everything from fantasy football to the Nestle CEO.
Again, another CEO. We have to talk about it to the
weirdest corporate jobs you have ever heard of.
Corporate crash out. Will you cash in or crash out?
Katie, have you ever participated in fantasy
football? Work.
I've never been an intern in the fall, at least like a part of
the team, so no. Have you, Claire?
So I actually got asked to be in the work league this year and I
was too shy because I really don't understand how it works.
Like last night, last Monday, I get to the office and my Co
worker is like pretty down. He says he lost fantasy football
and I'm like, how is it already over?
Football just started. Like that's not how it works,
Claire. I guess you get to build a whole
new team every single week. It really just like doesn't make
sense to me Katie. Like maybe you can I think.
OK, from my understanding, and this may not be right at all,
from my understanding, it's like, OK, there's like 18 weeks
of football, right? And then you all get to pick
people. But it's you have an order.
So you all can't just like pick anybody you want and then you
can like switch people with each other.
But I think it has to be like a mutual agreement, like, oh, I'll
trade you this player for this player in between the weeks.
And then each week you like go against one of the people in
your group and like play them. And then you either win or lose.
But then I think there's like a culminating, like you either won
or lost at the end as well. And so I guess there's, from
what I've heard from how like people in non corporate do it is
there's not a prize for winning, but there's a punishment for
losing. But I think there are some
corporate places that do a prize, yeah.
This just seems too complicated for me but I do love watching
the punishments on TikTok that will not go to me.
What punishments have you seen on TikTok?
I haven't seen any. Oh, really?
Like, yeah, I think a really big one.
I think my brother's friend group actually did this once.
Is that like if you lose, you have to spend 24 hours in a
Denny's? That's.
Awful. Are you supposed to do that?
I don't know. I mean, at least they have like
food and running water there. I guess you could bring your
computer. Honestly, we could easily spend
24 hours in a Denny's, Katie. Maybe we'll go live sometime and
be in Denny's for 24 hours. Like why would we see that?
Let's see something manageable like 3.
Like why? Why 24 hours?
I don't know, it's just more extreme.
It's more fun. OK, fine.
If we get to a certain like we should say if we get to a
certain number of followers on Spotify, we'll do it.
If you guys get us to like we're at 22 right now, so.
I'm thinking 100. OK, if we get to 100 followers
on Spotify, Claire and I will spend 24 hours in a Denny's.
Or a like establishment 'cause I honestly don't even know if
there's a Denny's near me. Or an IHOP or whatever.
And Denny's like establishment, maybe we'll let people vote.
We'll come up with the options if we get 100 followers and
we'll let people vote. OK, Anyways, that's a good
punishment. I've seen, I've seen people just
like having to hold signs, like on the streets.
Yeah, you know, there's the options are like limitless,
honestly. My boyfriend's friend group I
think did something where they had to go to a bowling alley and
then you have to get a 300. If you don't every point, you
lose. Every point you're like
different from 300. You can eat a hot dog or drink a
beer and I don't know, they have, they have, they have
varying amounts of points, I think, for each one.
But I don't think nobody ever did that for them.
But I just think it's so interesting why they do that.
But whatever. Yeah, he's now doing his
corporate fantasy Football League.
So they apparently all joined a call and they were like, guys,
we're starting. And but, well, I think it's so
funny because a lot of guys cannot organize an event to save
their lives. And then as soon as football
season comes, it's like everybody's getting together who
has the food, who has the drinks, who has like, whatever,
and everything's suddenly all planned and organized.
I don't know. God forbid you plan a date, but
you know when fantasy football comes around, like, we'll have
it together. Yeah, for real.
That's so funny. It's terrible, but do they have
any good prizes? I don't even think we have a
prize for it. No.
I think ours is a buy in like a pool.
I don't know. So I guess some people do, yeah,
they have cash pots. Some people apparently or some
corporations have buy in. So highs 500 to 1000 and some
offices and the winner walks me and the winner walks away with
five figures at some places. And they also have bonus pool
drafts. So at Wall Street firms, some
teams use end of the year money, bonus money to fund their
fantasy football pool. That is so extreme, like I
haven't. Sorry honey, I gambled away my
bonus this year. The kids are going to get less
presents 'cause I was playing fantasy football.
Apparently they also do some places do department by
department so like maybe the marketing department will play
the finance department and then whoever like loses out of the
departments has to throw a catered lunch for everyone which
isn't like too bad but. It's still corporate money.
That's like a fake punishment in my opinion.
Oh, apparently at one Chicago firm, remember how we talked
about there's a loser. The loser of the fantasy
football draft had to sit at a Kitty desk in the lobby for a
month. A month is a month.
Is is extreme that? Seems like a lot, especially I
you would not get any work done. Honestly though, my lobby
probably would be quieter than my cube some days.
I would just take my vacation and be like bye.
Sorry, I'm actually going to be gone this whole month.
I know it coincidentally coincides with my punishment,
but it is what it. Is yeah, I was asking like, I
guess football isn't during school hour or like during work
hours, so I guess it doesn't affect them as much.
But people said if it was they wouldn't get any work done, so I
don't know. Apparently, I mean, I still see
like my coworkers having like phone stands and like watching
all kinds of sports games just like on their desk, like with
their phone propped up. And I'm like, what?
What is going on? Get to work people.
Get to work. I feel like I would never see
that. But I also, it was like, I don't
know, I'm always in the summer, so that's fair.
Well, I yeah, I don't know if I'll ever join a fantasy
Football League, but I am creating a league right now for
Dancing with the Stars brackets. Who is in it this year?
It's Alex Earl. And two of the Mormon wives show
who? Jen, Jen, Jen, Affleck.
I don't know. I don't know their names, Jen
and Whitney and one of the guys from Pentatonix.
Wait, really? I haven't heard of Pentatonix in
so long. Dylan Efron, Jordan Chiles.
Who else? Oh, oh, this is my favorite.
This is my favorite. The Robert Irwin, Bindi Irwin's
little brother, Steve Irwin's son.
So exciting. One of the guys who was like in
the movie Elf, like one of the people that they're like
pitching like, you know, when like a Will Ferrell, you know,
he plays buddy and they're like pitching like some sales thing
to like a corporate guy. It's like that guy is, I don't
know, it's going to be a really good season.
I just know it And I'm making a bracket pool and I like I
floated the idea out there at work and my supervisor was like,
it would literally just be me and you.
But I think that's not true. I think everyone's watching
these days. It's the girls version of
football. I'm not, but you should Claire.
I'm trying to pass my classes so maybe.
Join pop culture and watch Dancing with the Star.
In on December 17th, I will join pop culture.
OK anyways, Nestle CEO, another CEO scandal.
Let's just make a group at this point cause.
Honestly, it just seems they're probably going a club.
Maybe they're. In a group chat.
They're probably they're. Probably in a group chat
together and being like, like, honestly, what do you think
they're gonna do in their careers next?
Because Loki, they're like kind of older, like this guy, the
Nestle guy that just what did he have?
He had an affair with the marketing person, I want to say.
Is that what it was? Yeah, it was marketing at that
point. You just have to retire.
It's just your sign that it's time to retire.
I I'm just confused on how you think.
It's like how you think you're not going to get found out.
Apparently they said that they tried to like apparently from
internal, that they tried to sweep it under the rug a little
bit. And then people kept complaining
about it 'cause that's how like prevalent it was.
And then they finally had to like address it.
And they said they didn't find anything on their like work
laptops. But once they finally hired like
an outside investigator that they found like whatever.
But I'm like, I guess good on you for not doing it on your
work laptop, but I feel like that's kind of the bare minimum,
so. It's kind of crazy that he was
71. Wait, was he 71 or 63?
Wait, because it's 63. His report?
Yeah, never mind. Wait, is his name freaks or
Freaks? I don't know.
I can't pronounce it. OK.
I think he's like Swiss, right? OK, whatever.
I think that's so crazy, especially after that was their
third CEO and no wait, I don't know, they had like 3 CE OS in
12 months and so I feel kind of bad for them low key.
A good look, but I guess the affair was like an open secret
within the company. So kind of odd that like it
wasn't a problem before he was named CEO.
If you're electing a new CEO like, you need to do your due
diligence and figure out what's going on with them.
I just don't understand like why?
Wait, do you think she also got dismissed the woman as well?
I would hope so. OK.
I think the ghost party should be right.
Yeah, wait, I want to see if they updated it.
Oh yeah, they updated their CEO. Sorry, stop.
That's hilarious so fast. It's so funny to me to see, like
the press release on it because it's like, what are you supposed
to say? Like, sorry people like have sex
at our place of work. What are you supposed to say
about it, you know? I mean, at least he didn't take
her to a Coldplay concert. I want to know how it got
exposed. Like who blew the whistle?
I do too. I want to know, like, how many
people knew about it? A spokesperson and denied being
in a relationship. I mean, at that point, though,
why don't you just end the relationship?
You know what I'm saying? Like people obviously know, and
like you've heard through the Grapevine, why don't wanna you
leave? Like if it's that serious, it's
true love. OK.
But I mean, when if you leave like the company, like you can
only have one and somebody's gonna decide for you if you
don't decide yourself. So I mean.
Like at that level I feel like it wouldn't be hard to find a
new job. Yeah, especially since they like
seem to be doing really well. I understand how maybe for the
CEO might be harder for him to leave, but like for the
marketing, I don't know. It depends how long you've been
in marketing. Yeah, I don't know.
All very odd. I want to know if it was an age
appropriate relationship too because I haven't seen anywhere
how old the marketing girl. Was OK.
Wait, wait. Or Lance.
Maybe it's an article somewhere, but not any of the ones I've
read so far. I know I'm like.
Like they're really honestly doing a better job than the
other scandal, the Coldplay scandal, of keeping it under
tap. So like, who was involved, what
actually happened? Like if they're being pretty
vague and honestly kudos to them.
He. Actually is popping off.
Oh, the identity is subordinate involved in the Nestle CEO
affair has not been officially disclosed.
That's really interesting. You know, that kind of makes me
think that she stayed. Yeah, me too.
Because I feel like at that point, who is said to be, wait,
the first woman who said to be reportedly received a severance
package? Oh, no, it says she left, but I
don't know. Wait, it says multiple
subordinates. I don't think it was just one
person swingers. That's that's what this is our
whole theory, you guys, is that CE OS are all secretly swingers.
OK, I want to talk. About this, Nothing about that
is shocking. I feel like they're all swapping
and like Aceo that doesn't have an affair.
I'm not buying it. I mean, I don't know.
I would say I'm not buying it. It might be in a very happy
relationship with somebody. I hope so.
But like it's just like, you know, it's not that shocking.
Like the shock value is not that high when I'm like, oh, another
CEO had an affair or where it's like, oh, my preacher had an
affair. Like shock value high.
You know what I was saying? Yeah, wait, Gemini said.
The first woman, who is said to be a Turkish national who had
worked at Nestle for two decades, reportedly received a
severance pay package and has since left for a senior role at
another company. The second subordinate also
allegedly departed with a significant payout.
So I wonder if he got money too, because that's actually really
insane. Too I saw what can.
You imagine that's honestly such a strategy to like have sex with
somebody who's like, you know, you're subordinate or just in
general at the company. And then I get a bunch of money
and I don't have to work what I just.
Don't go into your contract. I mean This is why going into
the job you got to make sure that contract is is balling OK,
but think about it on the flip side.
So she left and went to a marketing position at another
company. Yeah.
I feel like they probably got a deal on her, like, you know what
I mean? Like she's.
Not got a deal? Like half off.
Yeah, it's like crazy. Maybe not half off, but like,
maybe like 25%, like, like, you know what I'm saying?
Like you don't have to pay her what she was making there
because, you know, it's kind of like a reprimand.
I'm surprised she, like, those women even wanted another job
unless they were, I don't know, they needed the money.
But I feel like if I got severance and I worked there for
like 20 years, like an annuity, right, Katie?
It's like, oh, I know I'm good. It's, I know it's like a chunk
of money, but if she worked there for like 20 years, like
you get paid for every year, right, like a certain amount.
And so if 20 years is like actually going to be a lot of
money. Oh, sometimes it's just like a
percentage of your salary or like a flat amount.
It just depends on the contract. But I, I, I, I hear you.
Why would you leave when you have bad PR like that too?
Finding another job crazy isn't? It kind of insane though, that
they didn't disclose like who the women were, but they
disclosed, well, I guess they kind of have to disclose like
the person because they're letting them like leave.
But I don't know. I think it's so interesting.
Well, it's hard not to disclose the CEO also, I think it'd be
like really alarming as like a stockholder if you saw like the
CEO, like the third CEO just leaving.
And I feel like there's something less alarming about
him just having out there then like, like I'm just leaving.
That's true, I guess. That's so true.
Wow. But I don't know cuz he hasn't
even been there for that long right And he already had an
affair. That's, I mean, I guess he
worked for the company for a while I guess.
So I think he maybe he had the, I think he had the affair before
he became CEO. This is what I'm saying though,
like this is the kind of stuff that the board needs to pick up
on before naming a new CEO. Like I, you didn't do your due
diligence if you didn't know. This.
Yeah, you're. Sleeping with potentially
multiple women. Yeah, like, tell me why as an
intern I had to get drug tested, background checked,
fingerprinted at some of my jobs, and ACEO can like sleep
with someone at the company for like a year and you guys don't
even notice. How is that possible?
Like genuinely how? Yeah, I mean, hopefully they're
not like doing it at the office, but.
Like obviously like people knew about.
Literally say it's an open secret, like it's not possible
to not pick up on these things. I'm convinced.
Yeah. So do you think they like just
really wanted somebody to be a good CEO and knew he would do a
good job and didn't care that he was having like, I don't know.
What if they didn't think it would get out?
Yeah. And then for some reason someone
like blackmailed them or like said that they were gonna spread
the news so that they had to get rid of him before it leaked.
I honestly, I wanna like go either undercover at some
companies and find all the weird stuff going on or I think we
should make like a romance novel, but like of all these CE
OS and all the things they've done and make it like based off
of real life. That would be so funny.
Like spoof all of these different scandals.
The Coldplay concert would be an epic one.
It like all leads up to like this this.
I have so many ideas for this. That's so iconic though, that
they literally were like, yeah, who cares?
Like, we're just going to go to a concert together where it's
like, I don't know, I feel like at least this they texted it on
their phones or whatever, right? Yeah.
Wait, what? OK.
However, some media reports have provided more details based on
anonymous sources. These reports claim that he was
allegedly involved with two women at the company, with one
being described as his official mistress and a senior executive.
This executive reportedly discovered him with a second
subordinate in a Zurich hotel and then filed A complaint
through the company's internal whistleblowing channel.
Wait, this just got so good. Mistress #1 finds him begging.
Mistress #2 #2. It's crazy and that's why it
gets reported, because she was like.
Wait, I literally called it, someone reported it or
threatened to leak it. That's crazy.
That's actually really crazy. And then you get comped for
getting cheated on too. Wait, that's actually so crazy
that there were two women. Like, OK, I feel like, buddy, if
you're going to like, get with like a woman at your work, you
got to pick one. Like we can't.
And not like one at a time even. Like, let me go as far as that.
Because obviously she knew where his hotel room was.
So was she planning to meet him? That's a really good point.
Like, how did she just happen to see him in a hotel?
Unless it's a work event and there's like a block of hotels
and they're like at a conference or something, you know?
But how did she know which one was his?
I feel like he must have been like, maybe that was his plan,
that she would stumble upon him and the other girl and then,
like, you know, things would progress.
But instead things degressed and she got really upset.
You're saying threesome is what he was hoping for, but then it
turns out she wasn't cool with that.
Yeah. Shit, I hate it when that
happens. I'm joking, but that's kind of
crazy. Do you think he added the second
mistress when he became CEO? He's like, now I'm more
powerful. I need another woman.
I don't know, because I feel like it's more attractive.
I feel like to women right too. I mean, I would be more
attracted to Aceo than whatever he was before.
But at the same time it's like. Does he have a wife?
Oh yeah, we used to look that up.
Can you imagine? If he had two mistress, if you
don't have a wife, 'cause I feel like at that point it's just a
lady. It's just a what?
A lady. A lady friend.
And the fact that he's 63 and still has this much like energy
is really interesting. Wait, let me see.
Oh, yes, he is married. That's even worse.
But I've heard like, I mean, I guess Switzerland is like
adjacent to French. And I feel like French people
are like, really? You know, yeah, let's call it
that. We, we, you know, they have like
a law that you can't get your kid paternity tested, like
tested to figure out who the dad is because it breaks up so many
marriages that you're not allowed to do it.
I'm serious, Maury, you can't have a show in France.
Do you know what show I'm talking about?
No. How have you not seen that?
It's the guy who like they, they go on the paternity test show
and he'll be like John, you are not the father.
Oh I have seen some of those but OK.
They can't have that show over there.
Maybe they can go to another state or like another like
place. They're like honey, where can I
go to the UK for a fun trip? And then they secretly like,
walk in so that you're not the fun.
Wait, so if they don't have paternity tests then can they
not have child support? I don't know.
Because I feel like a lot of child support like uses
paternity tests as a basis for evidence.
OK, it says no, French citizens cannot legally obtain
independent paternity tests because they are banned.
But a paternity test can be ordered by a judge in France as
part of a judicial proceeding. So maybe like if they wanted to
get child support isn't that crazy though?
Like you cannot get your kid. But like if I was a guy, I'd
actually be super pissed. I'd be like this kid is getting
tested anyways, bye. Well, hopefully that wouldn't
happen to you, but. If I was a guy.
Yeah. At least I know the kids mine.
That's a good thing. The.
CEO could have multiple kids by multiple women.
Can you imagine, Claire, Can you imagine if there's like a sequel
to this and it's both women are pregnant and.
Then this is ATV show right here.
I'm still just shook by the two women.
I'm sorry, this is the penalty story.
That was actually, this is crazier than Coldplay now.
At first I was like kind of lame and then I was like.
No, this is really a movie. Like if I worked with this
company, I would feel like I was living in a movie.
We should create a movie and it's just like.
Do you want to be miss just number one or miss just #2?
I'll be 1. Oh Boo, I can't.
It's so funny. OK And the other thing we wanted
to talk about in this episode, now that we're all caught up
with current events, is that we have realized that in corporate
culture there are some really weird breeds of jobs that just
become to exist. And so, you know, like we get to
a really big company, maybe it has like 10,000 people, but
then, you know, there's always, it's not just marketing and
finance anymore. There's like really, really
niche sectors. So let's talk about it.
Claire, what do you think is like one of the weirdest
corporate jobs you've heard of? OK, I'll go.
Katie. Katie.
Will actually go first on this one.
OK, at Google, SAP and Airbnb, there's a chief happiness
officer. I don't know if that still
stands after those cuts that remain, but that's.
Kind of sweet though. I want to be the happiness
offer. I know, me too.
I wonder how we should talk about how you can get into these
jobs as well, because I think when you're an intern and
starting out, you kind of have to go through like the
mainstream pipelines. But there was a person at one of
my work, I don't know how this happened.
I actually have no clue, Claire. This was really insane.
They would make us every single morning that we were in intern
orientation do like these exercises to like try to show us
that they cared about like our well-being or whatever.
And so they had this lady who full time, she was like doing
something else and she was like, no, I really want to get into
like activity. And I have like, I don't know,
she got some physical therapy training or something.
And then she would like have these videos.
And so she does like mindfulness videos and like exercise videos
that you can do in the office. And that's like her job now, no
joke. And she actually films these.
And so one of the things we had to do was like, we had to like
stretch and like do this and we all had to do it.
And if we didn't do it in orientation, they'd be like, why
are you doing it? You need to participate.
And no joke, Claire, there was this one exercise that she's
like, and do you ever feel like you can't get your cardio in
just because you're at work? This is a way to do it.
And we all had to do this. She's like, I'm going to put it,
I'm going to put a timer on for 60 seconds, OK.
And we're all going to chair run.
And so we literally had to do this for 60 seconds, like
running in our chair. And they would like, and people
stopped because they were like laughing.
They were like, guys, take this seriously.
This is like actually for your health and whatever.
And so we were like scared because this is our first week
of this internship. And so we were all like, chair
running really fast, like actually crying for a minute.
And so that's what one of the girls did.
Yeah. So you could be that person too.
I feel like OK you were saying how do you get to this job?
I feel like you join the company doing like a normal ass job and
then like the role was created for you.
That's exactly. I don't know how she convinced
who, but I think she was like friends with somebody who was
like higher up. And then we had to do a
meditation one and she was like and connect your brain to your
heart and breathe. And this is what Navy Seals do
to calm themselves and like crazy events.
And I was like, what that? Was so you know what the
craziest thing ever, though? I so I as an intern, I used to,
we didn't have anyone that like full time did that, but we would
bring in like random ass speakers and I'm like, I will go
to any speaker to get like a free lunch and learn and like
some time off of working. Yes, I turned, I go to this is
so bad. He was like talking about like
having energy in the workplace. He's like, if you ever feel
tired at your desk, like you have the energy, you just have
to unlock it. He was like, you wouldn't be
tired if someone walked up to your desk and held a gun to your
head. So why are you tired if you're
just sitting? There and I was.
Like that's really crazy. Like looking around everyone, I
was like, what is going on? He was like, it's the energy is
just untapped. You just have to find out how to
tap it. I hate the motivational
speakers. I like don't understand, like I
get the free lunch thing and I will be there for the free
lunch. Don't get me wrong.
OK. But like some of the
motivational speakers, they have people who are like random
corporate like normal people and they just have them come in
like, I don't, I don't know, because I feel like the older
people won't know what we're talking about if anyone old is
older is listening, but they're just like random people who are
like, this is how I started my career.
And they just talked for an hour and it's so boring.
And I'm like, Oh my God, we had one at this like event we had to
go to. This was a while ago, but they
had a person sitting there and she was a company podcaster.
So if this doesn't work out, maybe I'll get that job.
But she was like, I no joke, no joke.
Like this company was like making an internal podcast.
I don't even think it was like external, but for the employees.
And so she was like asking this person questions and she wasn't
even like, no offense. The interviewing wasn't that
good. Like there were no like she was
just like, and how did that make you feel?
And where on this journey did you decide to go?
I hate that. Oh, and then we had this other
person who was telling us about we had to do the Myers Briggs
personality test or whatever. And I've never, I've had to do
that like 10 times, by the way. And I'm so over it.
But we had to do it again. And I literally just clicked
like random things the whole time because I was not using my
work day to do that because I had a lot of other stuff to do.
And then we had to take the print out.
We had to have a physical print out.
And then it was like 1000 of us went into this room and they
were like, OK, this is what it tells you.
What's your attic and what's your basement?
Do you know what an attic and a basement is, Claire?
Yeah, I think like the attic is like your highest score in your
basement's your lowest. Yeah.
And so basically they're like, OK, this is my attic, But see,
and it was like, really bad. There was one who was like
acting like a kindergarten teacher.
And the other one who was like, very Zen.
And she was like, my inner peace and peacefulness during this
time is represented through my whatever.
And then the other one was like, guys, open your books.
Now we're going to do this exercise, turn to a partner and
say, I hate it. I hate when they do that.
Because turn to a partner and discuss how that made you feel.
Turn to a partner and compare your your personality traits,
which I don't want to turn to a partner.
I want to eat my free lunch in peace and then go back to my
desk. It's so horrible.
And I don't think some people like, there are some good,
really good internship orientation programs and like
fun experiences, but then there's some other things that
I'm just actually want to RIP out my hair and like jump out a
window, but. Then like reflecting on it, it's
so funny 'cause it's like, how is this stuff real circling that
chief happy off, chief happy officer, like sign me up.
These sounds so fun. Yeah, that does sound fun.
Before the episode, you mentioned that someone has a
chief meme officer. What is what is that role,
Katie? I don't know.
Apparently Bud Light, Slim Jim and Razor has a chief meme
office officer and I assume they just like are in marketing
making memes. But it's a real.
Yeah. So they were in content
creation, and they make and curate memes that align with the
company's brand voice. How do you put that on a resume,
Claire? You know, I don't know.
But you know what it's reminding me of?
Like that's kind of like the title of like the person who's
behind, like the Wendy's Twitter account.
Have you ever seen the Wendy's Twitter account?
Yes, I have. That's is that a real account
like for Wendy's? I thought that was fake.
I honestly couldn't believe that was real.
It's so good, I love it, but that's someone's full time job
and that kinda makes me sad because I don't.
Have that job, me too recent influence a company to pay us to
do stuff like that all day 'cause we would do really well,
I'm not gonna lie. Yeah, just like comment back at
people, like I could sit there and do that all day.
Like reply to people's tweets or reply.
I would find entertainment in that, yeah, you said someone had
a job or it was like their whole thing was dressing kids for TV.
Oh yeah, this was at like the other place of work.
But like basically they would do ads for clients and then they'd
have like a bunch of like children centered ads,
apparently. So one person's was like
curating children's outfits and like putting them, like
designing them and like putting them on the children for the
ads. That's I call it honestly.
I guess, yeah, I mean, that's kind of cool.
I would like to, I say I'd like to do that, but honestly, you
have to probably deal with crying kids.
So a director of First Impressions, which is a
receptionist rebrand. The other thing is people be
posting the most obscure job titles and it's really just a
normal job. OK, OK.
We should talk about job titles decoded in like other episodes,
because I swear there's so many like I was applying to like
business develop like positions for so long and my dad was like,
you know, that just sales, right?
And I was like, why would they just say that?
Just say sales if it's going to be in sales.
They think business development sounds better.
I don't. Know it definitely does, but
like I'm just going to be unhappy doing sales now.
I'm going to be like the worst salesperson.
It's like how Subway calls all of their employees sandwich
artists. That's so funny.
OK wait then we work apparently had a community vibe.
Managers. Community vibe managers so every
community has a different like. Yeah, in some locations.
Like a Chad walk you around and be like whoa people vibe check.
This is getting too serious. I just think that's so funny.
Emoji translator so. Who is writing on emojis?
Why do we need an emoji translator?
I guess for like Today Translations.
Wait, is that an actual company? Today Translations, Yeah.
So Today Translations apparently, which is Auk based
language translation agency. They have one person who
translates emojis through cultures.
I thought emojis we're supposed to not have to be translated
through cultures because they're images, you know?
But maybe I'm mistaken, you know what I'm saying?
Like I don't have to convert an emoji from Spanish to French.
It's still just a picture. Yeah, that doesn't make sense to
me. Someone's scamming their way to
the top. Apparently Intel hired cultural
anthropologists to study tech habits among people.
OK apparently Amazon used to have like AI don't know dog
friendly working things so they had a chief dog officer and some
of their Co working. That's a choice that's kind of
cute, though. That's fun.
And then they had some startups have chief snacking officer,
which I feel like is a nice name for assistant.
Perhaps it's still nice. Like, you know how assistants
like do that sometimes. What Toys-R-Us?
Toys R Us You don't fucking know what Toys-R-Us is, are you?
Even I do, but it went away. It went away OK, but Toys-R-Us
Canada. You were really concerning me,
Katie. Toys R Us Canada literally hires
kids to be the chief play officers.
Probably why they went well. Yeah, they got to see if the
toys are fun to play with. Duh.
Do they get paid though? Or else is this labour?
I'm actually like parents cashing their kids checks for
that. Like here kids, we're going to
go play today. Parents get fat.
Check. Chief coffee officer.
So at Nestle, subsidiary offices and smaller startups, I don't
think I don't want to be chief coffee officer.
But oh, head of imagination, Disney had imagined.
Years I've heard of that, actually.
Really. Yeah, Disney actually has a lot
of like, I wouldn't say niche jobs, but niche job titles.
Yeah, no, I agree. Apparently there's a head of
apologies at airlines like United and Telecoms after
crises. Honestly that seems very
justified. You know, like head of
happiness, like doesn't seem super justified.
Whatever weird lady giving you guys chair running exercise
doesn't seem justified but like an apology officer.
Most companies could probably use this, but it's not.
Customer service. It's not kind of crazy that
like, you know, like you're already fucking things up that
you're gonna have to hire someone full time to just
apologize for you. I just think any customer
service job like that though, like the customer can never be
wrong, so you're gonna have to apologize whether you're right
or wrong, Kaden says. Just don't.
Fuck up. Yeah for real.
I am just telling him don't mess your toss up OK?
Chief listing officer at Blue Takei Coffee Plus rolls out
valid. HR.
It's focused on social media listening.
I can do that. I listen and watch social media
all day. So someone hire me.
So much experience. Truly.
Yeah. This is so interesting though.
Have you heard of Lego builders? They hire people to like build
these crazy Lego like structures.
You know what I'm talking about. Have you been to like Lego
stores have like? Yes, yeah.
And I'm pretty sure they get paid well.
I don't know, but they like full time work on that Lego thing.
Gosh. That's so nerdy.
Just what I think. I'm nerdy, but like, that's
actually fun. I wish I was paying.
All. Day.
But I would feel like I would get bored unless I did it with
somebody. So I wouldn't need somebody like
you do it alone. I don't know.
I feel like some people like like doing it alone.
Maybe you get to choose. Maybe they're like you take an
entrance exam and they're like, when do you Lego best?
Do you Lego best by yourself or do you Lego best with others?
And yes, I'm using Lego as a verb.
But we should talk about like the personality exams once too
and stuff like that. But anyways, OK chocolate
taster. I feel like I knew this, but
Cadbury, Mars and Nestle a full time taste testers.
Well, duh. That could also be.
Me but but like I feel like at what point would you burn out?
Like how would you do you reach a point where it's like you
can't taste better chocolate Like you've they all just blends
together like it's just chocolate?
Nope, I think I could really enjoy every single piece of
chocolate fresh. OK, OK, professional sleeper.
Apparently NASA and some mattress companies hire people
to test sleep. I actually have heard about
that. Yeah, I've heard about.
That which is so crazy to me, but yeah, that would be, I mean,
I don't know that I could say much because I really like when
I sleep, I pass out like people can do anything around me and I
do not wake up so. Same, like I can sleep in like
most public settings. Like if I'm on a park bench it's
like oh I need a quick nap that's fine.
What? I can sleep on a plane and like
probably in a car ride if I needed to, but I think anywhere
like where I'm exposed and not in a vehicle of some sort, I do
not think that would work. Oh, I know, but never like
alone. Like I'm not creepy about it.
Like I can't just fall asleep alone, exposed in public.
Like if you're with someone, you need a quick nap, just put your
head down and take a quick nap, OK?
Do you do that at work? No.
But you know, in Japan they have that where they have like some
other places they have like sleeping like rooms because I
think it's like more productive when you like sleep for an hour
and then go back and work. There's rumors that some people
use are like Wellness room, which is really like a
breastfeeding room or whatever like that.
That's like the only door in the office that has a lock and
there's rumors that some people go in there and take nap.
I would totally do that. I'm not going to lie.
I would totally go in there and take a nap and be like, yeah, I
have a kid at home and I just need to.
Just put like a a A like your teams on red and cash out.
That's so funny. OK.
But yeah, I honestly, I feel like there's so many more we
probably don't even know about, to be honest.
Yeah, if anyone has a really interesting job they've heard
of, let us know and maybe we'll do a deep dive on it.
Oh wait, Google and Nike both have sleep pods and staff
monitoring use so they have nap directors that like monitor the
use of napping. Rooms.
I feel like that's kind of gross though.
Why? I feel like it depends.
My hair where other people in my office have laid their hair.
Yeah, that's true. But I feel like, yeah, I really
would. But being so amazing, like, like
the thought of it is like, yeah, that's probably kind of gross,
but I would do it. Yeah, I would probably bring my
own blanket or something. Yeah, you know, the moral of
this story is we may have picked the wrong careers.
Sounds like we could do way more interesting things on the daily.
Yeah, I know we should. What should we do though?
Which of the which of those jobs would you want the most?
Good question. I really think the emoji
translator is just speaking to me in a way you know.
Chief happiness officer for me, like I just want to walk around
and pass out cookies one day. OK, yeah.
But like, sometimes people are never going to be happy and not
just like, you know, like sometimes, yes.
But you know what, some big companies you have to make like
20,000 people happy. Like I could see that as a
little tiring. I just kind of want to, you
know, translate an emoji and tap out.
That's true. I'll have to think about this
more. I'm going to have to really dig
deep here. Yeah, guys, comment which job
you think you guys would like the best and tell us in the
comments like more jobs that we haven't heard of and we will
talk about it and do some deep dives for you guys.
Yeah, I think that's all we had for today.
Thanks for listening and we'll catch you next week.
