Transcript of the segment
What BBN said on air. The facts are in the original report: New York Post.
Vera BullockWe promised you this one: Grand Theft Auto Six launches Tuesday, November nineteenth, and the New York Post says the country could lose a billion dollars in productivity that day.
Hank LedgerAn estimated one point five million American workers are projected to take the day off or call in sick, according to LatestLY, and a Spanish economist figures that cuts national productivity by about two percent.
Dale BearmanOne point five million people lying to their managers on the same Tuesday. That is the most organized the American workforce has ever been.
Vera BullockSome fans are treating the following five days as public holidays, and one software engineer told the Wall Street Journal he's taking all five.
Vera BullockI call that a commitment to wellness.
Hank LedgerFive days.
Dale BearmanAnd the billion is an estimate, not a recorded loss. So the real damage is whatever your boss believes when you cough.
Hank LedgerBrock, even the weather is taking the day off, right?
