REVENGE QUITTING EPIDEMIC IS OUT OF HAND

Discussed by Douglas Shaw
with Douglas Shaw Perspective (www./dougshawperspective.com/)

A recent Fortune article sounded the alarm on increasingly toxic workplace cultures, revealing that nearly half of workers are now “revenge quitting” — walking out on their jobs without notice, with many being long-tenured, loyal employees.

Today, new guest Douglas Shaw discusses this serious trend. YES – it is serious and we must pay attention! Douglas Shaw is the author of several books, including his latest book, “Curative Culture”, which can be found here.

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Why are people revenge quitting? Douglas believes it all boils down to the toxic “me me me culture”, saying: “Revenge quitters are only hurting themselves.”

What can employers do to stop their employees from revenge quitting? Can co-workers help, also?

What can we do to reverse this trend? Douglas discusses both short and long-term solutions employers can implement in their company/organization to keep their employees happy and satisfied.

Douglas Shaw spends the last few minutes of the interview discussing the hope and encouragement readers can gain from his book, “Curative Culture”.

IS EUTHANASIA LOVING, MERCIFUL, AND COMPASSIONATE?

Discussed by Victor Nieves
with Life Issues Institute (LifeIssues.org)

Where will the list of reasons to kill stop? Will the growth of allowed reasons ever stop? Who will decide what is acceptable of not?

Life Issues Institute President, Victor Nieves, writes: “There is nothing caring about violating the sanctity of human life.” Today, Victor discusses the horrific trend of death by euthanasia and urges all pro-lifers to be just as concerned with this as abortion.

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Is euthanasia loving, merciful, and compassionate?

Is the acceptance of euthanasia growing around the world? Are more people in the United States also supporting euthanasia? Victor discusses the lies and propaganda being spread, which is obviously disappointing. However, he also reveals the GOOD NEWS about the millions of people who are waking up to the TRUTH of the atrocities of euthanasia.

What percentage of deaths in Canada are attributed to euthanasia? THIS NUMBER IS HORRIFIC!!!

What is the Canadian Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) euthanasia program? Click here to read more.

What are some of the excuses people give for their desire to die through euthanasia?

Are we on a slippery slope? Victor says: “Most of us treat our dogs better than these people are being treated. That is heartbreaking and unimaginable.”

As we fight to defend the sanctity of life, can we forsake those who are killed outside of the womb?

PRAYER

Discussed by Terry Lowry
with Host of the What's UP Radio Program

Heavenly Father,

We lift our voices in praise to your Holy Name.

Today, and every day, may we fully and completely devote our hearts to you.

Transform our lives into your likeness.

Grant us discernment to see sin as it begins to creep into our lives; may we run from it into your awaiting arms.

Drawing near to you, we commit to listen for your still small voice.

We cry out to you, O Lord, for protection, for provision, and guidance in our lives.

May all our words and actions bring a smile to your lips.

And, dear Lord, if you grant us tomorrow, let’s repeat.

Praying in and through the name of Christ,

Amen
