In this episode of Mojo In The Morning, host Mojo expresses frustration over a mandatory annual compliance test at iHeartMedia, which he describes as an hour-and-a-half-long, outdated, and uninspired assessment that feels out of place for a company in the entertainment industry. He shares his experience of taking the test, his dissatisfaction with its content, and his decision to give it a one-star rating and publicly criticize it. The conversation expands into a broader discussion about mandatory workplace testing across industries, with callers sharing stories from nursing, truck driving, bus driving, hotel housekeeping, and retail—revealing that many professions require regular compliance or safety tests. While some tests are clearly legitimate (like those for medical licensing or bomb prevention), others, like the iHeart test, feel arbitrary and disconnected from real-world relevance. The episode ultimately becomes a humorous yet pointed critique of corporate bureaucracy, with listeners bonding over shared grievances and realizing that they’re not alone in finding these tests tedious and outdated.
