#010 - The Clock is Ticking: PTO, Bereavement, and Hiring Pitfalls

from The Rowbo Show · host Elf Tree Publishing

In this episode of The Rowbo Show, Mark shares the story of his fifth and final interview with GE Medical Systems back in 1988—a process that ultimately led to a great job offer, but not without a few bumps along the way. His experience highlights how extended interview processes can leave candidates feeling indifferent or disillusioned, even when the outcome is positive. From there, Mark and Joe dive into a discussion about modern workplace policies, including the pros and cons of Unlimited Paid Time Off (UPTO), how bereavement pay works, and the implications of arbitration clauses in employment agreements. It’s a thoughtful look at what today’s benefits and policies really mean for both employees and employers.Hosts: Mark Rowbottom, Joe MoralezMAY 30TH | 5PM — 7PMTICKETS | RIVERWEST BOAT GALA--Contact | [email protected] | rowboshow.comTues. 6:30 PM | WXRW 104.1 FM Riverwest Radio
