SHOW HIGHLIGHTS
1:30 - Happy New Year! Tim is thinking (and hoping) that 2021 is going to be a great year. JLee is looking forward to drive-through vaccinations.
2:45 - JLee got a LinkedIn request from Gary Vaynerchuk. Tim is extremely jealous (he’s a super fan) and JLee is very confused on how she got this.
6:00 - The gang wonders aloud how many people send invites out on Gary V's behalf. Tim thinks that JLee needs to leverage her brand and her title to get Gary V on the phone in 2021.
9:00 - Time for the CHRO move of the week! UPS announced a new CHRO Darrell Ford after their old CHRO (Charlene Thomas moved to a new role at the company).
10:30 - KD thinks Thomas got a demotion.
12:30 - Tim thinks that Thomas was potentially underperforming so they brought in a new one to try out in the head HR position.
15:30 - Tim also wonders that they are potentially setting up Charlene Thomas to take over a COO or a CEO role eventually at UPS.
17:20 - In KD’s youth, the UPS driver was a person of note in his life. KD thinks it’s a transactional job now because there are so many drivers and people aren’t making a lifetime career out of being a driver.
21:00 - JLee thinks that KD would be a shorts only UPS type of driver. No brown pants in sight!
22:30 - Next topic of the day: Google’s CEO announced that they will continue being remote but they will be returning back to the offices eventually and will not be remote forever. The announcement said that employees should eventually return to a place that is in a commutable distance from their office.
25:00 - KD thinks this is the revert back from the earlier pandemic announcements of full time, forever remote transitions.
30:45 - KD also thinks that Google is trying to prevent a mass exodus from California to places like Texas, as companies like Tesla are moving there.
32:00 - JLee is coming up on her 100th Peloton ride and she found out that her husband ordered 100 balloons on their shared Amazon account to celebrate.
