You're scared of taking time off (I fear you have presenteeism)

Buy Clock In: emilydurham.org/clockin You’re scared to take time off. Not because you’re “so busy.” Not because the timing is bad. Not because your job is uniquely demanding. You’re scared. In this episode, we’re talking about the real reason employees avoid taking sick days and vacation — even when they’re burned out, exhausted, or literally sick. From unused PTO and presenteeism to work anxiety and fear of being replaceable, we’re unpacking why so many high performers would rather work sick than log off. If you’ve ever: Logged on while sick Left paid time off unused Felt guilty booking vacation Told yourself “now’s not a good time” for the 12th time This one’s for you. We’ll break down the psychology behind taking time off, the workplace culture that fuels burnout, and what it actually signals when you’re afraid to step away. Because not using your sick days or vacation isn’t loyalty. It’s fear. And it’s costing you more than you think. Got a career question you want answered on the show?

How the conflict in Iran is raising Canadians' cost of living

The conflict in the Middle East is well into its second week, and just like rest of the world, Canadians are starting to see its impacts in our everyday lives - including at the gas station. Correspondence from the White House only seems to be making it worse, with oil prices heading in every which direction after a false claim from US Energy Minister Wright on the movement of an oil tanker through the Strait of Hormuz. The critical passway has been effectively closed by the Iranian regime. Host Maria Kestane speaks to John Kirton, political science professor and Director of the G7 Research Group for the University of Toronto. They discuss how Canadians can make sense of what they're seeing in the Middle East, and how much worse of a hit their pockets could take.

What could Canadian involvement in Iran look like?

In the immediate aftermath of the US-Israel strikes on Iran, Prime Minister Mark Carney came out with a declaration of support, which later developed into what he calls a 'regretful' position due to the lack of international order. So what exactly is Canada's position? And what would military involvement mean for Canada? Host Maria Kestane speaks with Dr. Alexander Salt, a post-doctoral fellow at the Canadian Global Affairs Institute to discuss Carney's developing messages towards the conflict in Iran, and how Canada could be dragged into the war as a result of Trump's 'plans'.

Why is Alberta blaming its identity crisis on immigrants?

Note - episode audio has been edited since the original publication to remove a misnaming of Calgary Roughneck Radio. We regret the error. Alberta Premier Danielle Smith recently announced that come October, Albertans will vote on nine referendum questions. Most of them have to do with immigration - including making it more difficult for non-citizens to access healthcare, and giving provinces greater control over how many immigrants they let in. It comes as the province also deals with a separatist movement that would see Alberta leave Canada, another referendum question widely expected to be added later this year. Host Caryn Ceolin speaks to Stephen Carter, veteran campaign manager in Alberta, and President of Decide Campaigns. They discuss the political motivations behind the referendum, the implications of immigration on Alberta's economy, and the rising sentiment of separatism.

What's the Ford government's long game with the school board takeovers?

One by one, Ontario school boards are being taken under the control of the provincial government, as Education Minister Paul Calandra says is in an attempt to fix reported financial mismanagement. Instead, the ministry has either appointed supervisors to oversee boards, or in some cases, Calandra himself will take direct control - a job he claims comes with no extra pay. However critics believe the move is a power-hungry one, and comes at the expense of students' wellbeing, as well as local democracy. Host Maria Kestane speaks to 680 NewsRadio Queen's Park reporter, Richard Southern, and Vice President of the Ontario Secondary School Teacher's Federation, Colin Matthew, to break down what's behind the takeovers, and what they believe the Ford government has up its sleeve.

Who can afford to drown out food noise?

Skinny is in, and it doesn't help when the drugs that help us get there are set to get cheaper. Whether it's Ozempic or Wegovy, the cost of shrinking doesn't end with what you pay at the pharmacy. It bleeds into your everyday interactions - both with others and by yourself. And unless your results are being guided by a dietician or medical provider, who's to say how sustainable pay-as-you-go weight-loss actually is? Host Maria Kestane speaks to writer Brianne Cail to unpack her journey using weight-loss drugs, and the give-and-take at the cost of her wellbeing thanks to the cost of drugs. The two also discuss what safeguards Health Canada could implement to help patients move through prescribed weight-loss and weight management.
