Negli ultimi anni, il mondo del lavoro ha vissuto una trasformazione profonda, diventato in molti settori sempre più dinamico, con carriere che si sviluppano attraverso esperienze in aziende diverse anche in tempi brevi. Allo stesso tempo, la gestione delle assunzioni e delle risorse umane è diventata una funzione strategica sempre più complessa. In questo scenario, i software a supporto dei reparti HR giocano un ruolo cruciale, soprattutto quando integrati con tecnologie di intelligenza artificiale.

In today's Cloud Wars Minute, I show how SAP's seamless data strategy is driving real business value in the age of AI. Highlights00:14 — SAP reported a very nice third quarter last week. Some highlights from SAP Q3, and then I'll do the comparisons with its competitors. So, the cloud revenue overall is up 22% to $6.14 billion. Ad their current cloud backlog, which is pretty close to RPO (Remaining Performance Obligation), the term some companies use, was up 23% to $18.1 billion.01:24 — SAP is at the top, up 22% to $6.14 billion. Second place, Workday: 14% to $2.17 billion. Then Oracle, up 11% for its SaaS products to $3.8 billion. And Salesforce: most recent quarter revenue is up 10% to $10.24 billion. SAP's growth is more than twice as high than what Oracle and Salesforce did, and it's about 60% higher than the growth rate for Workday.02:10 — There's a lot to think about here. What's making this happen? I think a few things are going on. One is, certainly there's a tendency for longtime SAP on-premise customers to slide along and go with SAP.03:06 — The other thing I think SAP has done well is evolving their applications. First, it was the Cloud ERP Suite, now the Business Suite. It's trying to make things simpler for its customers with a seamless experience, same interface, same data model. SAP, along with the others, has been doing a very good job of infusing agentic AI into their applications.04:03 — So, very nice quarter here from SAP for Q3. It continues to dramatically outpace what its competitors are doing. But there's a lot of back and forth, a lot of vying to close that gap on the part of competitors. Visit Cloud Wars for more.

In this podcast, Natalie Ostas, Associate VP of Finance and Controller at Covenant Living Communities shares how next gen ERP is supporting a finance transformation that helps the organization empower community operators, drive efficiency and savings across the business, and power continued growth. Hear how modern technology including agentic AI can provide a competitive advantage in the senior living market, improving employee experiences and freeing time to do more for your mission.This episode is sponsored by Workday.

Jake is the founder and CEO of Serval, an AI-driven IT automation and service management platform that just raised $47M in Series A funding this week. Before founding Serval, Jake spent over five years at Verkada, where he led multiple products from 0-1 and helped scale the company across hardware and software. His years at Verkada taught him that winning in enterprise means delivering consumer-quality experiences to business buyers — a lesson that shapes how Serval turns complex IT automation into something that feels magical. In this episode, Jake and Brett dive into the lessons from Verkada that inspired Serval's founding, what it takes to disrupt entrenched enterprise categories, and practical tips for getting deeply embedded with customers and hiring high-quality candidates. In today's episode, we discuss: Why building “in existing categories” can be more powerful than creating new ones The lessons from Verkada that shaped Serval's platform strategy The customer interview question that unlocked the IT buyer's hidden pain points How Serval's automation builder uses AI to generate code-based workflows Redefining engineering and PM roles with forward-deployed engineers Keeping the hiring bar high in an AI-native startup Why there's a “land grab” moment right now in enterprise AI And much more...

With a diverse career spanning call centers, hospitality, banking, and 15 years in healthcare, Michelle shares her unscripted journey—from building and dismantling an HR department during an FDIC closure to tackling talent shortages in Vegas' competitive market. Amid casino perks and nursing gaps, she discusses innovative strategies for recruitment, retention, and employee well-being.Key takeaways for healthcare HR leaders:Talent Competition in Vegas: Battle hospitality giants with flexible benefits like pet insurance and tuition assistance; leverage internal mobility and education partnerships to fill gaps.Nursing Shortages: Address 30-40 open RN roles with targeted sourcing, traveler conversions, and residency programs—focus on retention to combat burnout.Employee Engagement: Implement rounding, "lunch and learns," and DEI initiatives; prioritize mental health and work-life balance to boost morale.AI & Tech in HR: Use AI for efficiency (e.g., chatbots, screening) but maintain human touch; explore tools like Workday for streamlined operations.Diverse Backgrounds: Bring non-healthcare experience for fresh perspectives—adapt hospitality's customer service focus to patient care.Personal Touch: Foster trust through visibility and empathy; celebrate wins with events and perks to build a supportive culture.A must-listen for HR navigating competitive landscapes and shortages.

Cześć!W tym odcinku podcastu BSS bez tajemnic zapraszam Was w świat nowoczesnych technologii HR-owych. Moim gościem jest Piotr Riccio - Dyrektor Workday Global Operations z ARC Consulting.Rozmawiamy o tym, czym właściwie jest Workday, dlaczego organizacje coraz częściej odchodzą od tradycyjnych narzędzi i jak wygląda proces wdrożenia takiego rozwiązania. Piotr wyjaśnia, że nowoczesne systemy HR to już nie tylko domena działów personalnych – dziś to narzędzie dostępne dla każdego pracownika i menedżera, które daje wgląd w dane w czasie rzeczywistym i pozwala podejmować świadome decyzje biznesowe.Zastanawiamy się również, kiedy przychodzi moment, by pożegnać Excela, jak wygląda samoobsługa pracownicza, czym różni się mindset reaktywny od proaktywnego oraz jak AI zmienia współczesne HR-y – od inteligentnych rekomendacji kompetencji po automatyzację procesów. Piotr zdradza też, jak wygląda wdrożenie Workday w praktyce, ile trwa, jakie korzyści daje i dlaczego to rozwiązanie nie stoi w miejscu, lecz ewoluuje wraz z potrzebami firm i zmianami prawa pracy.Jeśli interesuje Cię cyfrowa transformacja, zarządzanie ludźmi w chmurze, automatyzacja procesów HR i finansów – ten odcinek jest dla Ciebie. Przekonaj się, jak technologia Workday potrafi uporządkować dane, skrócić czas reakcji i realnie usprawnić życie całej organizacji.Kluczowe punkty rozmowy:Systemy HR-owe, takie jak Workday, umożliwiają zarządzanie danymi pracowników w czasie rzeczywistym, co ułatwia podejmowanie świadomych decyzji na poziomie całej organizacji.Nowoczesne systemy HR-owe zapewniają pełną samoobsługę pracowników, co odciąża działy kadr od rutynowych zadań i pozwala im skupić się na bardziej strategicznych działaniach.Wdrażanie systemów HR-owych wymaga zaangażowania wszystkich działów organizacji i zmiany mindsetu na proaktywny, aby w pełni wykorzystać potencjał nowoczesnych technologii i danych..Linki:Piotr Riccio – https://www.linkedin.com/in/piotrriccio/ARC Consulting – https://arc-consulting.pl/Workday - https://www.workday.com/pl-pl/homepage.html?refCamp=701VT00000QgMrcYAFPorozmawiaj o tym odcinku ze sztuczną inteligencją – https://bbs-bez-tajemnic.onpodcastai.com/episodes/ZQS06jSM9FI/chat  ****************************  Nazywam się Wiktor Doktór i na co dzień prowadzę Klub Pro Progressio https://proprogressio.com/pl/dzialalnosc/klub-pro-progressio/1 – to społeczność wielu firm prywatnych i organizacji sektora publicznego, którym zależy na rozwoju relacji biznesowych w modelu B2B.

Many companies have been able to stave off layoffs by relying on retirements and not filling open roles but in this uncertain economic landscape, businesses are needing to get creative on retention and avoiding turnover costs.A lawsuit against Nucor was brought about by two different employees for race-related retaliation. When the courts assessed the case, they sided with the employer. As a company, the importance of proper and thorough investigations cannot but understated.

Brad Haupt, Vice President of Supply Chain at Monument Health, joins Bob Evans at Workday Rising to discuss how the health system is modernizing operations through Workday's unified platform. He shares how consolidating 17 systems into Workday created a single source of truth for finance, HR, and supply chain data. By pairing data intelligence with a culture of innovation, Monument Health is transforming supply chain management from a behind-the-scenes function into a strategic driver of better healthcare experiences.AI and the New Healthcare Supply ChainThe Big Themes:Monument Health's Unique Challenges and Resilience: Located in remote western South Dakota, Monument Health faces the dual challenges of geographic isolation and sudden population surges during events like the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally. Haupt described how this environment demands both meticulous planning and quick adaptability. The annual influx of visitors, tripling the local population, acts as a stress test for supply chain agility. These experiences have honed the team's crisis management skills.Linking Supply Chain Excellence to Patient Outcomes: Perhaps the most profound shift at Monument Health is redefining supply chain success through the “value equation”: patient, physician, and caregiver experiences and outcomes divided by cost. Haupt rejects the traditional view of supply chain as purely cost-focused. Sometimes the higher-cost item delivers greater patient value, improving safety or recovery time. By connecting financial, supply, and clinical data, Workday allows leaders to quantify this relationship.AI and Automation Redefining Contract Management: Haupt discussed Workday's integration of Evisort for contract lifecycle management as a game changer. Currently, supply contracts can take eight to twenty-four hours of total work spread over weeks. With AI-assisted redlining and learning-based automation, the process could be reduced to seconds. The system will eventually learn from user edits, producing increasingly personalized and accurate suggestions. Haupt sees this as freeing supply chain professionals from time-consuming legal reviews to focus on high-value work.The Big Quote: “I think we're monitoring over 2,000 items that are back-ordered or shipping delays coming from overseas, or manufactured delays. So, we have to constantly communicate with the physician so they don't go into a procedure and think, I've got it all planned out in my brain, and then they say, 'Hand me a 12 French ...,' and they don't have one, and they've got to change their whole treatment plan. So, that communication is really key. Workday has helped us really automate some of that."More from Brad Haupt and Workday:Connect with Brad on LinkedIn or learn more about Workday and healthcare.

This week, the gang dives into a grim economic landscape, tackling the week's bad news with their signature candor before scraping for some silver linings. The bad news hits hard: the U.S. government shutdown, now in its eighth day, is costing $7-15 billion weekly, furloughing 1.9 million workers and delaying critical jobs data, with ADP and Moody's signaling near-zero job growth in September, concentrated in healthcare and large firms. American farmers face bankruptcy risks as tariffs inflate prices and competitors like Argentina and Brazil snag deals with China. J.P. Morgan pegs recession odds at 40% by year-end, and tech stocks, puffed up by AI hype, teeter on the edge of a bust. Chad rants about tariffs, ICE raids, and H1B visa hikes pushing talent away, calling the economy “cataclysmic,” while J.T. laments the understated jobs crisis, with six-figure earners jobless for months. Joel highlights the plight of farmers, noting the regressive impact of tariffs on the poor and the absurdity of subsidizing competitors like Argentina. Switching to good news, the trio finds some hope: Upwork's CEO Hayden Brown reports a 50%+ surge in demand for AI skills like prompt engineering, with Gen Z poised to benefit from freelance opportunities. A Yale study suggests ChatGPT hasn't yet disrupted U.S. jobs significantly, and Workday's expanded real estate footprint and Netflix's $700,000 AI product manager role signal niche growth. J.T. sees promise in fractional work for seasoned professionals, while Chad warns AI is quietly automating tasks (like scheduling at GM, cutting 100+ jobs) and questions the longevity of roles like prompt engineering. Joel agrees, likening AI jobs to short-lived 90s webmaster roles, predicting they'll train systems to replace themselves.The episode also covers LinkedIn's lawsuit against Pro APIs for scraping millions of profiles with fake accounts, a growing headache as AI amplifies such schemes, and the launch of Filament, a $10.7M-funded, invite-only LinkedIn rival that Chad dismisses as redundant given existing group chats on WhatsApp and Slack. Finally, they tackle Gen X's financial woes, with only 25% holding retirement accounts and student debt crushing the rest. J.T. sees universal basic income (UBI) as a potential bridge for Gen X to pivot careers, but Joel balks at the idea, citing their fiercely independent ethos, while Chad ties the crisis to the shift from pensions to 401ks and broader systemic failures. The episode closes with a heated debate on whether UBI or corporate reinvestment in communities could stem the tide, leaving listeners with a mix of grim realities and cautious optimism for a creative, freelance-driven future.

Change rarely fails because the software didn't ship. It fails because people didn't shift. In this episode, Bill Bnaham sits down with Richard Page-Brown, a veteran program and change practitioner, to map a clear path from big intentions to sustained behavior change. Using the ADKAR model as our backbone, we move step by step through awareness, desire, knowledge, ability, and reinforcement, translating each stage into simple tactics HR leaders can use on Monday morning.We start with the hard question: why change, and why now? Richard shows how to use market data, employee feedback, and the risks of no action to build true awareness, then turns to the messy middle—desire—where WIIFM, persona-based impact assessments, and credible advocates turn compliance into commitment. From there, we dig into knowledge design for HR tech rollouts, blending e-learning, workshops, SOPs, and process maps. Along the way, we explore AI-driven skills mapping, faster upskilling cycles, and how leading platforms turn skill gaps into targeted learning, coaching, and mentoring.Ability is where learning becomes doing, and Richard lays out how coaching, sandbox environments, pilots, and phased rollouts build confidence under real pressure. Finally, we tackle reinforcement—the Achilles heel of so many transformations—with concrete steps to update job descriptions, align performance metrics and rewards, celebrate early wins, and keep feedback loops alive so new habits stick. Richard shares lessons learned from global programs, a simple threshold rule for progressing through stages, and a bold reminder: excellent change management makes initiatives seven times more likely to meet and sustain objectives.If you're leading a Workday, SAP, SuccessFactors, or Oracle rollout, or rethinking your people strategy for an AI-shaped future, this conversation gives you a field guide to make change real.

Work doesn’t always look or feel the way we imagined. Sometimes, the job we prayed for ends up feeling draining, and we struggle to find joy in our daily tasks. Yet, as our daily prayer and devotional on Proverbs 3:5-6 reminds us, our work is not about our comfort—it’s about trusting God with the assignment He’s given us. When we shift our focus from ourselves to God’s purpose, even the most ordinary or frustrating responsibilities can become opportunities to glorify Him. Our workplace becomes a mission field, where conversations, attitudes, and actions can shine Christ’s light into the lives of coworkers and clients. The key is to acknowledge God in all our ways—to invite Him into our tasks, our meetings, and even our frustrations. As we lean on Him instead of our own understanding, He gives us peace, perspective, and joy to serve faithfully each day. Today's Bible Reading: "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths." – Proverbs 3:5-6 (ESV) Key Takeaways God places us in our workplaces for a greater purpose. Our jobs become a mission field when we focus on serving Him first. Choosing joy and gratitude can transform frustration into fruitful ministry. Trusting God with our workday aligns us with His greater plan. Let’s Pray Together Lord, thank You for my job and the opportunities it provides. Help me see my workplace as a mission field and my tasks as ways to glorify You. Guard me from complaining or discouragement, and instead fill me with Your peace, focus, and joy. Use me today to shine Your light to those around me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Kendall Berg and Sara Anderson go deep into why authentic confidence isn't about “faking it until you make it”—it's about rewiring your nervous system so your leadership presence becomes undeniable. From grounding exercises that calm anxiety before high-stakes meetings to mindset shifts that make you more memorable in the boardroom, this episode unpacks the hidden mechanics of influence that no one teaches you in corporate training. Sara explains how nervous system regulation directly impacts clarity, vocal control, and body language. She shares a client story of a senior leader who broke through a years-long ceiling after mastering these techniques, proving that leadership isn't about credentials alone—it's about resonance. Together, Kendall and Sara reveal how trust, likability, and authentic connection matter far more than polished perfection when it comes to career growth. In this episode, we discuss: How can nervous system regulation improve leadership confidence? Why does likability matter more than technical skills for career growth? What visualization exercises actually reduce anxiety before big meetings? How do gender dynamics and bias impact visibility at work? What mindset shifts help leaders move from polished to truly authentic? ⭐️Get our FREE Accomplishments Tracker: https://fabulous-butterfly-83716.myflodesk.com/n8yzvrtw9v  That Career Coach Want to know more about Kendal Berg, that career coach?

Send us a textWhat happens when a rebellious teenager receives a life-altering cancer diagnosis at 18? In this powerful conversation, Steve Garraty shares his extraordinary journey from self-destructive partying to profound purpose after doctors discovered a grapefruit-sized tumor in his neck on July 4th, 1986.Steve candidly reveals his spiral into reckless behavior after moving to Atlanta as a teen – drinking before school, wrecking five cars while intoxicated, and causing tremendous stress for his family. Just after high school graduation, everything changed with three devastating words: "you have cancer." Through nine grueling months of chemotherapy, Steve kept a journal that would eventually become his book "Greatfruit: How Cancer Led to Living a More Fruitful Life."The heart of this episode explores how facing mortality at such a young age transformed Steve's approach to fatherhood. With doctors warning he might never have children due to his treatments, each moment with his two children became a profound gift. Now a grandfather and successful sales leader at companies like Salesforce, Oracle, and Workday, Steve reflects on how his cancer journey cultivated deep empathy, gratitude, and perspective – qualities that shaped both his parenting and professional leadership.Most compelling is Steve's insight about extracting meaning from life's hardest moments. "We all go through stuff," he shares. "It may have a different face for you than for me, but we all go through moments or events that change us." His message to parents: be resilient through challenges, lean on your support network, and look for opportunities to grow through adversity.Whether you're facing your own struggles or simply seeking perspective on what truly matters in parenting, Steve's story will inspire you to embrace each day with intention and appreciation. Listen now to discover how life's greatest challenges can become the foundation for our greatest strengths.Support the showPlease don't forget to leave us a review wherever you consume your podcasts!

On her first day as CFO of UHY, Laura LaPeer asked a simple question: “Do you guys do Copilot?” She had grown accustomed to using Microsoft's AI assistant for tasks ranging from summarizing documents to creating slides, and she wanted it in place immediately. The request, she tells us, reflected both her pragmatism and her view that technology should be leveraged quickly, but carefully, to support higher-value work.That same instinct—to look beyond the surface of a task—has shaped her career. At an earlier company, LaPeer noticed that procurement and treasury were being handled transactionally. Purchase orders were checked for compliance, and cash was managed cyclically. By zooming out, she recognized the chance to turn these into strategic functions: evaluating vendor risks, aligning relationships with business goals, and putting idle cash to work. This shift, she tells us, allowed finance to deliver tangible impact.Her time at ProQuest, where she witnessed growth through M&A, gave her a business lens she later carried into her CFO role at Plante Moran. Now at UHY, she applies the same perspective. With Summit Partners as a new investor, the firm is targeting $1 billion in revenue within five years, LaPeer tells us. Growth will come through both acquisitions and services such as outsourced accounting, valuation, and state and local tax.To get there, she emphasizes unity. “One UHY,” she says, requires integrating regional groups, building the bench, and ensuring technology like Workday delivers consistent, firm-wide insights.

Your AI product is ready, deadlines are looming, and customer anticipation is growing. Then, the legal team gets involved, and everything grinds to a halt. What if this entire model is broken? Andy Cannon, Workday's Vice President and Deputy General Counsel for Product and Technology and a former software engineer, argues that legal isn't a roadblock but an accelerator. He explains why early legal collaboration is the key to building customer trust and the single clearest path to AI adoption. Learn how to transform your legal team from a late-stage gatekeeper into a strategic partner from day one to ship products more efficiently and responsibly.

In this special episode, host Paul Spain sits down with Steve Sasson, the American electrical engineer who quite literally changed how the world captures moments—he invented the first self-contained (portable) digital camera at Kodak back in the mid-1970s. Recorded at Steve's home in Rochester, New York, Steve shares not only the technical hurdles and creative thinking that made digital imaging possible, but also gives us a look into Kodak's company culture—how innovation collided with tradition, and why big organisations sometimes struggle to reinvent themselves in times of massive technological change. Sasson's stories offer timeless insights for innovators navigating disruptive technology and shifting business models in today's fast-paced world.Thanks to our Partners One NZ, Workday, 2degrees, HP, Spark and Gorilla Technology

In this episode, Bob Evans chats with Gerrit Kazmaier, President, Products and Technology, Workday. They explore how Workday is evolving into a platform company, the role of AI agents in reshaping enterprise workflows, and why trust, accuracy, and extensibility are key to future-ready business solutions. Kazmaier also discusses Workday's approach to ecosystem innovation and composable ERP.Workday's AI FutureThe Big Themes:AI at the Core: Workday is reshaping how enterprises operate by embedding AI into the core of their business processes. This isn't about slapping AI onto legacy systems as a side panel or assistant. It's about redefining how people work, with AI-led experiences, purpose-built agents, and intelligent orchestration. From onboarding to payroll, Workday is transforming each layer of the enterprise with tools that understand business context.Open Platform and Data Integration: Customers demand flexibility and interoperability. Workday is responding by making openness a foundational principle — not just a tagline. Through partnerships with Snowflake, Databricks, Microsoft, and Salesforce, Workday ensures that enterprise data is not locked away but is seamlessly integrated across platforms. Whether you're building a forecasting model in Snowflake or enriching financials in Workday, the data now flows freely.Workday's Focus: Kazmaier referenced a quote: “Technology evolves from primitive to complex to simple.” Today's ERP systems sit in the “complex” phase — bloated, hard to manage, and expensive. Workday's goal is to move ERP into the “simple” era. That means intuitive, intelligent systems that just work — powered by AI, open by design, and personalized for each user. The aim is to empower CEOs to drive outcomes, and employees to thrive at work, without wading through process chaos or outdated tools.The Big Quote: “I frankly think that today, the default is that vendors have a slew of generic agents, they hand them over to their customers, and wish them good luck in figuring out how it's supposed to work. When we say, open AI platform, I talk about purpose-built frameworks and tools like our new Agent Builder . . . so that you can seamlessly compose, you know, workflows in the definition and context of your business and expect them to work with high accuracy and reliability, without becoming an AI expert yourself."Learn more:Follow Gerrit on LinkedIn, and read more about Workday and agentic AI.

In today's Cloud Wars Minute, I explore Workday's bold entry into the ERP space and share insights from my interview with Gerrit Kazmaier on how AI and data are reshaping enterprise software.Highlights00:24 — Last week, 30,000 people were at Workday's big Rising event in San Francisco. I had a chance to sit down with Product and Technology President Gerrit Kazmaier to talk about his views on how the Workday approach to ERP is going to be different from what we see from other players.01:08 — Kazmaier brings enterprise applications, data, data cloud, hyperscale — all those different backgrounds, expertise, and experiences — to Workday. And now he's taken a very aggressive agenda in these first six or seven months, leading up to this notion of ERP. Workday moved into the ERP space with a lot of new introductions, agents, and more at last week's Rising event.01:48 —And a couple of things that Kazmaier talks about: Kazmaier believes the ERP concept is right — giving business leaders a chance to see what's going on inside their companies from multiple perspectives with fully integrated applications. But he feels that the tools have been outdated, too difficult, too slow, too fragmented.02:08 —So Workday, although for its first 20 years had avoided getting into ERP, now feels that the time is right to give huge value to customers. Also, for the Data Cloud, it's now got partnerships to enhance the way it's able to give customers better use and value from the data they have. These include partnerships with Databricks, Snowflake, Microsoft, and Salesforce.02:54 —So that full interview with Gerrit Kazmaier, President of Products and Technology at Workday, is coming up here. It's got not just him in a new role, but also Rob Enslin, over the last several months, as Chief Commercial President and Chief Commercial Officer, and a new Chief Technology Officer, Peter Bayless, who came to Workday from Google Cloud.

Buckle up for The Chad & Cheese Podcast, where Joel Cheesman, Chad Sowash, and Maureen Clough dive into HR's wildest waves with their signature no-filter banter! This episode tackles the HR tech consolidation frenzy: Workday's $1.1B Sana acquisition, paired with recent Paradox and Flowise buys, signals a bold AI-driven strategy to streamline everything from sourcing to onboarding with a slick, unified dashboard. It might be Workday's “peanut butter and jelly” integration but execution's the key. Meanwhile, iCIMS grabs Apli (or is it Aptly? Nobody knows! Not sure it matters) for frontline hiring, but it may be a desperate “last girl at the bar” move to keep up in the conversational AI race. The crew also mourns layoffs: Fiverr's 250 job cuts and ZipRecruiter's axing of 80 in Israel, with Chad slamming Zip's post-IPO pivot to a dud chatbot, Phil, and Mo decrying Fiverr's dystopian AI push that kneecaps freelancers. Gen Z's “revenge quitting” and “great lock-in” trends spark debate—Mo and Chad urge caution, while Joel's all “life's tough, kids!” Starbucks' dress code drama (no Crocs, tattoos, or piercings!) ignites a fiery clash: Mo and Chad call it discriminatory nonsense, while Joel insists baristas can just take their hustle to Arby's.
