The Job Scam Report PodcastFear Is The Most Lethal Weapon I've Ever SeenThanks for joining me on The Job Scam Report. Today, I opened up about a topic often left unspoken in the job search—fear—and how it quietly plays a role before someone even falls for a scam. Fear doesn’t just show up after the damage is done. It starts when someone’s been laid off a few times, faced long-term unemployment, or is struggling to pay bills. Fear leads to desperation, and desperation clouds judgment.Fear is the sword of our actions. We’re in a time where scammers prey on fear. They know peopl...2025-07-1527 min.jpg)

Resenteeism. What’s the problem?According to a recent Fast Company article,“Resenteeism is defined as when a worker stays in an unsatisfying job due to a perceived lack of options, even as resentment toward their employer grows.
