Roy's Job Fair

Higher Edjumakashun

Phylicia Rashad’s opinion on Bill Cosby's release led to an um, "dust-up" with her current employer, Howard University, and to an RJF team debate on whether you can work in higher education while having opinions that upset faculty, students, and donors (06:41). This week’s 'Worst and First’ asks, ‘have you ever seen someone get fired and then they just STAY at work?’ A former college admin walks us through an office shakeup featuring lots of tears and liquor. A charter school executive explains job openings at their school, how to attract teachers who care, and how to detect those who don't (33:42). @Rod4Short reveals he actually has a line he WILL NOT cross with his coworkers (surprisingly). And is investing your hopes, dreams, and financial future in higher education a scam? Roy and the team dissect the issue in ‘Scam of The Week.’ Learn more about your ad-choices at <a href="https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.com">https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.com</a>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.

Work is like sex or food — you’re either getting it or looking for it. Comedian Roy Wood Jr. (correspondent on Comedy Central’s The Daily Show with Trevor Noah) explores the human condition every week through the prism of employment. Roy sits down with real people from ALL lines of work about their most memorable jobs, employment vacancies they're looking to fill, scams they've run at the office, and of course, the cringe-worthy office romances. Roy's famed humor is matched by his true empathy and curiosity for people. Join him on an entertaining exploration into the battle all of us fight every day. Balancing our need to provide with our need for emotional fulfillment. Learn from the people who got it right. Laugh with the rest of us, who constantly get it wrong. Welcome to the Job Fair.
