I'm really fired up about it. 8 00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:17,760 Speaker 1: Have they been there longer than you? 9 00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:21,840 Speaker 3: By like they were they were kind of hiring a 10 00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:24,279 Speaker 3: couple people at the same time, So I think she's 11 00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:25,840 Speaker 3: only been there for like a week more than me. 12 00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:29,160 Speaker 4: So what's the why do you think that she's getting 13 00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:31,760 Speaker 4: more money than you? If it was, like, if I'm 14 00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:33,760 Speaker 4: assuming you guys do like you have the same job title, 15 00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:35,480 Speaker 4: you have the same day to day tasks. 16 00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:39,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, we have the same responsibilities, you know, the same 17 00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:44,440 Speaker 3: experience level, and our performance reviews are pretty much the 18 00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:49,159 Speaker 3: same to me. And this might sound petty, but like 19 00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:54,000 Speaker 3: the only real difference is that she is objectively like 20 00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:55,160 Speaker 3: prettier than me. 21 00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:57,840 Speaker 1: Oh are you a model? 22 00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:03,320 Speaker 3: She might be. I mean, I hate that I even 23 00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:06,280 Speaker 3: cross my mind, but like, once she told me how 24 00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:08,480 Speaker 3: much she was making I just couldn't ignore it. I 25 00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:11,600 Speaker 3: was like, maybe it is this it because there's like 26 00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:14,039 Speaker 3: nothing else that could make that make sense to me. 27 00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:15,720 Speaker 3: I work just as hard if not harder. 28 00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:18,480 Speaker 5: So what do you do with that information? Like in 29 00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:22,800 Speaker 5: that position, do you want to up her and then 30 00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:24,679 Speaker 5: go because like I don't think you can actually go 31 00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:27,000 Speaker 5: to a boss and say, I know this person makes 32 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:28,720 Speaker 5: more than me. Why am I not making that? Because 33 00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:30,320 Speaker 5: I don't think that. I don't think that ends in 34 00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:31,280 Speaker 5: what you want it to end. 35 00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:32,800 Speaker 1: It depends you can do that. 36 00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:34,560 Speaker 6: We can call your boss and ask if you want, 37 00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:35,840 Speaker 6: we could do that live on the radio if you 38 00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,600 Speaker 6: would lose her, you know, as you don't know, you 39 00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:43,520 Speaker 6: don't know if this woman is saying that telling the 40 00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:44,040 Speaker 6: truth too. 41 00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:45,479 Speaker 1: This woman could be getting in her head. 42 00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:48,880 Speaker 6: Can if she is, it's working, it's working, it's working 43 00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:50,440 Speaker 6: making you spiral out of control. 44 00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:54,040 Speaker 4: I mean, this is like, I mean, flat out pretty privilege. 45 00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:56,520 Speaker 6: If that's the case, right, Or it could be that 46 00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:00,480 Speaker 6: the other person got hired a week before you, budgets 47 00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:00,919 Speaker 6: were different. 48 00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:03,920 Speaker 5: How much more she's making that happens, Yeah, you know 49 00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:05,000 Speaker 5: how much. 50 00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:08,320 Speaker 3: More ten dollars an hour more than I? 51 00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:12,880 Speaker 5: Oh yeah, well you're saying that negotiation she just killed it. 52 00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:15,240 Speaker 6: Or there's something you're not telling us either. I mean, 53 00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:17,680 Speaker 6: that's a big discrepancy for the same job. It can't 54 00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:19,560 Speaker 6: be pretty privileged. There's something that has to do with 55 00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,399 Speaker 6: maybe maybe she has a different degree than you. 56 00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:25,120 Speaker 1: Maybe she was an eagle scout, or she came. 57 00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:27,880 Speaker 5: From a position and they like poached her from. 58 00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:30,200 Speaker 1: It a military background. 59 00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:33,280 Speaker 6: There's something that's there that's added to her resume that 60 00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:34,840 Speaker 6: would give her an extra ten dollars. 61 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:35,799 Speaker 1: You know, there's certain. 62 00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:38,360 Speaker 6: Credit, Like I know people in the fitness world that 63 00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:41,239 Speaker 6: are like trainers, and I know a trainer that's a 64 00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:44,639 Speaker 6: much better trainer than another trainer, but the other trainer 65 00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:47,800 Speaker 6: has an extra credential and makes more money. So there 66 00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:49,519 Speaker 6: could be something like that that you're not aware of it, 67 00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:50,959 Speaker 6: and when you bring it up to your boss, he 68 00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:53,720 Speaker 6: might go, well, Emma, let me tell you something.
