Hurricane Ian tore through the Southwest Florida coast and caused catastrophic flooding, destroyed infrastructure, and left millions without power.  In all of this, one of the biggest curiosities are those that decide to hunker down and weather the storm despite evacuation orders.  Some stay because they are defiant, others for fear of returning to nothing, and some just don’t have the money to leave.  Jared Leone, contributor to the Washington Post, joins us for why some choose to stay put.
 
Next, whether you in the path of a hurricane or other extreme weather event, it’s important to be prepared for natural disasters.  Two key things to be prepared with is a way to communicate and a way to maintain power.  You can download emergency preparedness apps to help keep you informed, and don’t forget you can always call 911 even without a phone plan.  A generator or some type of backup power is also a must.  Marc Saltzman, contributor to USA Today, joins us for what tech can keep you prepared.
 
Finally, you might be “quiet quitting,” coasting by and feeling like you’re getting away with it, but you might also be getting “quiet fired” and it could lead to you actually getting fired.  It’s hard to tell because your boss could be respecting your boundaries, but they could also be overlooking you on new projects or stop inviting you to meetings to minimize your significance.  Callum Borchers, On the Clock columnist at the WSJ, joins us for what to know about being “quiet fired.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
