Quick Hits are 10-minute conversations designed to exercise your brain by letting you listen in on an unscripted conversation to hear other people‘s thoughts on a variety of subjects. In February of 2021 I and the members of my mastermind group thought other people might enjoy listening in on some of the lively conversations we were having. But we realized that no one was going spend 90-minutes listening to us going on about anything and sometimes nothing. Instead, we decided to pick one topic and have a short conversation to share. I took the reigns because facilitating those types of conversations sounded like fun. Over the course of a few months it grew from just members of our mastermind group to four (sometimes three if schedules go sideways) people from various parts of the world and from ”short” to exactly 10-minutes. Thus was born ”Quick Hits” hosted by me, Dr Robyn. I hope to get caught up with posting them here on PodBean at some point. As of this writing, I have over 100 ”episodes.” If you‘d like to see the videos of these conversations, they are available on my YouTube channel: https://bit.ly/DrRobynQuickHits If you have a topic you‘d like to hear discussed, I encouraged you to use the contact page of my website: https://drrobynodegaard.com/ to let me know.

A little context: Several weeks ago, I asked my Quick Hits panelists if it was fraudulent for someone to have two full-time, work-from-home jobs.
The panel was split between employers who felt it was fraudulent and employees who said that they should be able to have a second job as long as they could do them both well.
A commenter on my YouTube channel asked why it would be OK for a company to pay a productive employee the same rate as a less satisfactory employee, but not OK if that same employee gets a second job at another company.
I immediately understood what this commentator was saying. When I was in my late teens and early twenties, I worked at a bank. I got an hourly paycheck just like everyone else.
My job was to process incoming wire transfers and answer the phone. I was always at the top of leader-board. But when bonuses came out, the company gave them to people at the bottom to help “motivate them.”
What it did instead was discourage me and make ask why I even bothered to keep working so hard?
I put that commenter’s challenging question to my panelists Atif Agha, Jim Tam, Philip Tate and Lauren Schieffer.
Our conversation focused on the nature and value of work — in other words, a company that provides meaning and purpose won’t have to worry about employees seeing work elsewhere.
What do you think? What do "we" think nothing of someone working really hard for the same pay be balk at the idea that they might do a satisfactory job?
