    Spook Diaries S4E8: Billion Dollar Shifts

    Action. We read in books about land owning freed African Americans countlessly being taken advantage of and manipulated into giving their land back, and those stories always evolve around a central theme...knowing the law. Yet we go into these workplaces daily, expecting the people within them to not exploit us, the labor? A person enduring the type of workplace illegalities on such a blatant and consistent basis, regardless the race of the employer, as we have described in this series, means nothing if we are the only one's who learn from it. According to Strada Education Foundation's data: 52% of college graduates are underemployed in their first job 45% are STILL underemployed after 10 years First jobs shape long-term earnings trajectory Black, Latino, and first-generation graduates face the worst outcomes Which is why with the help of Seade Coaching and Consulting, we have developed an 8 week Workplace Legal Knowledge course which we intend to offer for free to juniors, seniors and postgrads of NC HBCUs, in order to better prepare them for a dynamic workplace and the action necessary to protect your careers. We explain a bit of this plan, on this episode of TheAwayGames_Podcast. Join the conversation and get all the gritty details of #TheAwayGames_Podcast, a #ALIVEPodcastNetwork feature.

    Spook Diaries S4E3 Day Labor and Benmo Pane: Employment Law Failures Abound

    Being underestimated is now a part of the repertoire of our host, @Ron Corley, II. Its just another day at the office... After leaving Dorsey, the immediate solution to financial troubles was as a day laborer. Doing back breaking cleaning, clearing and lifting gave our host a new respect for "working men and women". But it also opened his eyes to the exploitation that takes place daily when people need work!This scenario forces him to take the next best thing...another trucking job, but local. Hoping to make some money and pay down some debt, he meets what black people in low wage labor roles encounter daily....A white wealthy business owner with a white under educated overseer, dictating the day-to-day of black under educated employees. Abuse of power runs rampant and Ron finds out on day 3 just how bad this job is going to be. And even when he told him who he was and what he did...just like Dorsey, they didn't believe him.

    Spook Diaries S4E1: Dorsey Express P1 - Black Capitalist are just as bad

    As a black employee, when thinking of leaving the corporate environment, its usually to escape the social policies in predominantly white spaces that want you to silence your blackness. This is manifested when authority is given to mediocre talent to maintain how culture is delivered and celebrated in this space.  But what happens when you move into black environments with black culture, but mediocrity is still the norm? On the first couple of episodes of this season of Spook Diaries, the sub series of #TheAwayGames_Podcast that walks through our host's career, we enter into the world of Black jealousy and envy. We learn what can happen when authority is in the hands of ego and how a lack of infrastructure, caused by greed, can create just as toxic of a work environment as the white corporate one you were hoping to escape.
