Shift Happens | Nightwatch Ep.78

from Nightwatch Hosted by Signal Flare Studio

Closer-in-Chief, Big Smoke, and Tech trade stories about workplace chaos, hospital logistics, crash carts, ambulance restocking, inventory ghosts, bad supervisors, holiday call-offs, contamination scares, scams, debt collection, and the slow grind of burnout. From medical supply rooms and pizza shop closings to Amazon, Walmart, and the strange comfort of video games after a rough shift, this episode is part workplace therapy, part survival guide, and part breakroom comedy. Expect unfiltered stories, practical lessons, and plenty of “how is this place still running?” energy.
