In this episode of OK Boomer, Robert sits down with millennial Eileen at a cozy coffee shop overlooking the Tennessee River to talk about a modern workplace paradox: when a job feels “secured” right up until it isn’t.

Eileen shares a real story about a friend who received glowing performance reviews, signed up for benefits, and was fired the very next day.

We unpack how corporations talk about “high value employees” while quietly prioritizing profit over people. The conversation dives into low wages, rising cost of living, gig work survival, and why working harder no longer guarantees stability.

With humor, honesty, and zero corporate buzzwords, this episode captures what it’s like trying to stay afloat in today’s economy. 🎥

Topics: job secured myths, high-value labor, stagnant wages, cost-of-living reality
