What’s the best way to handle an office lunch party? The experts explore several proven approaches, including sharing facts about where serial killers were conceived, making yourself approachable…
Alright, so last week we put out the news that our Saturday workers can send in voice messages.
And we get to hear their voices, really see into their souls and kind of see the person behind their mic.
And we actually got a couple voice messages this past week and I'm excited to hear them, hear what they have to ask.
Maybe we can kind of help out and impart some wisdom on them.
So here is the first message.
Hey guys, uh...
Long time caller, first time listener.
Let's say that I hire 14 guys off Craigslist to build my house with absolutely no intention of paying them.
When do I tell them that they're getting paid and beer? And if they get pissed, can I just marry the foreman and claim the whole thing was a destination wedding? Appreciate any advice that you give me.
Sounds like this guy is paying some Saturday workers to do some work and he's not actually doing it himself.
You could hear the femininity in his voice.
Yeah.
You could hear that he probably pees sitting down.
And I found it interesting that the only solution he had was to not actually pay for the work that he did, but was to get into a nuptial agreement with the foreman.
As if that foreman had agreed to this at the beginning.
What was the conversation prior to this? He had the work done.
And while the work was being done, he went up to the foreman and was like, listen, I have no money.
I'm a man.
Would you like to marry me? What was the plan all along? I don't think there was one.
I think that's part of the issue.
And I think if every client of a construction company were to be threatened with marriage or paid in marriage, I feel like the economy of construction would come to a screeching halt.
I don't know if a burly masculine construction man gets on site and is ready just to marry the broke individual that hired them in the first place.
No.
Maybe we're looking at it the wrong way.
Maybe it's not that he's under threat.
