  • TIU S5E4 Transcript
    The Liquid Workforce Krissy Clark: Hey it’s Krissy. This is the Uncertain Hour. If you’ve been listening to our whole season (which, if you’re not, you should), you’ll know the last few episodes have been about Jerry Vazquez, a former janitor who was not employed by the company whose name was on his uniform, or by the companies whose offices he cleaned. At one point most corporations, schools, churches - had their own in-house janitors who were their employees. Not so much anymore. And on today’s episode we’re looking at how did that come to be? Not just for janitors, but for so many people. Which is why Uncertain Hour producer Peter Balonon-Rosen and I sat down with a guy named Bryan Peña. Peter Balonon-Rosen: And Bryan told us how, decades ago, he worked beneath the bright fluorescent lights at a 7-Eleven in San Diego. BP: You wanna learn about people? You know that’s a great job to learn about people. Peter: Why do you say that? BP: Because you see people of all shapes, sizes and colors in different states. Peter: It was the early ‘90s and Bryan was paying his way through college, working the graveyard shift at 7-Eleven. He was majoring in economics, minoring in acting, so Bryan was fascinated with human behavior. And at 7-Eleven, he got to see that up close. BP: We'd have the guy who had no teeth who would buy 17 cans of easy cheese every Tuesday. Peter: OK BP: We had the guy who lived in back who would get donuts.
