Why We Hate/Love Our Jobs

Love them or hate them, most of us have got to have a job.

How's work? It's a question that when asked of a friend can open a massive can of worms. Sometimes they can't stop gushing about how great things are going and about the new promotion. Other times you'll hear a never-ending litany about a demonic boss or nonsensical company policies.

So what is it that separates the good from the bad when it comes to jobs?

Renee Beaupre-White, director of career services at Castleton University, and Peter Cole, principal of Cole Consulting, discuss how to choose the right jobs and careers and what businesses can do to improve the culture of the workplace.

Also on the program, state officials have launched a criminal investigation into the Brattleboro Retreat, following a whistleblower's allegations of extensive Medicaid fraud. We're talking to Dave Gram of the Associated Press, who broke the story.

Broadcast live on Tuesday, September 1, 2015, at noon; rebroadcast at 7 p.m.
