    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 S4E7: Startups and Contract Law

    When taking a contract role, it is vitally important for you to know what terms are your responsibility and what terms are the company's responsibility. On this episode of the Spook Diaries, a sub series of TheAwayGames_Podcast, our host, @Ron Corley, walks back into the halls of a tech company...believing that the experience will be like all others before it, most notably @REVGEN. This belief creates a cautiousness that bubble to the surface as a defense mechanism in the form of research and preparation. Sure enough, early into this role, that preparation came in handy...

    Spook Diaries S4E6: Fired in Retaliation

    Retaliation is a power play. In our personal lives, retaliation happens often and is rarely consequential...however in the workplace, a lack of emotional intelligence can lead to a retaliatory act that can be extremely costly. On this episode, we discuss Benmo Pane, the trucking company that I worked for with the racist, sexist, antisemitic, MAGA loving manager.  He has the closest relationship with the owner, which has provided him cover, until now. However, with all of those characteristics on front street, how do you think he responds when confronted by his subordinate who is familiar with Employment Law...the better question is, how will the company respond? Spoiler alert, I was fired. Join the conversation and get all the gritty details of #TheAwayGames_Podcast, a #ALIVEPodcastNetwork feature.

    Spook Diaries S4E5: Breakroom Racism

    We start this episode off continuing the conversation of Benmo Pane and the racist, bigoted, White Christian Nationalist manager that is over an all black staff. He breaks the rules as he pleases and forces his staff to consume right wing, anti-DEI, antisemitic content both on the job and outside of it. But what happens when his those employees outsmart him? What happens when his leadership and management incompetence is exposed? More importantly, how does his boss react to such news?

    Spook Diaries S4E4: Benmo Pane - Manager loves Jesus, hates Jews

    The failures in Small to Medium businesses from an Employment Law perspective typically revolve around policies and policy enforcement. On this episode, we dive deeper into the characters of Benlo Pane, a trucking company with a big problem that they believe they can keep contained through the size of their operation. Only thing is...the Maga manager can't help himself and believes his positions to be so uniformly accepted that he fears no consequences. Employment Law education helps you to endure tough situations, like racists managers, oblivious owners and capitalistic visions of where you stand in their paradigm. It also helps you use their flaws and lack of discernment to your advantage. On day 3, the racism and antisemitism surfaced...how long before it sank the ship?

    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 S4E2 Dorsey Express P2: No Paper Trail In Cash

    In small to medium businesses, owners tend to think that their operations are too small to worry about employment law matters. In the trucking industry, the largest expansion of black male entrepreneurship, growing from 9% to 16% from 1979-2018. But sometimes, "following the rules" of employment law creates more slender margins than owners wish to get. This can result in wage theft, misclassification of employee status of drivers and conflict resolution issues. On this episode of #TheAwayGames_Podcast, we dive into the 2nd part of Dorsey Express and hear how all of the above impacted our host, when trying to be closer to culture. How does knowledge clash with egos tied to titles, again? Even with this employer knowing about our host's mission of #EmploymentLawEducation, they still crossed the line....repeatedly.

    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.
