1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,600
Speaker 1: It's a jewel show, and it's International Women's Day, and

2
00:00:02,640 --> 00:00:05,720
Speaker 1: I'm just going to start segments with the definition for

3
00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:08,600
Speaker 1: International Women's Day because I don't feel like it's appropriate

4
00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:10,520
Speaker 1: for me to really do it too much. So here

5
00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:14,040
Speaker 1: we go. The definition, according to the International Women's Day website,

6
00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:18,919
Speaker 1: is celebrating women's achievements and increasing visibility while calling out

7
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:22,200
Speaker 1: inequality is key. I'm going to celebrate a couple of

8
00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:26,080
Speaker 1: men on International Women's Day, surprising, I know. But first

9
00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:27,520
Speaker 1: I want to talk to you about something that happened

10
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:29,520
Speaker 1: to me at one of my old jobs. This was

11
00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:33,080
Speaker 1: after five years of working there. Okay, I had to

12
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:37,080
Speaker 1: go to HR and complain about my pay. One year

13
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:40,839
Speaker 1: I had I got a sixteen percent raise. Sixteen just

14
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:44,960
Speaker 1: to be equal to my male peers, Oh my god,

15
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 1: just to be equal. And that is new hires. And

16
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:51,239
Speaker 1: I was the senior person on the team, so I

17
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:54,279
Speaker 1: had been as the longest and I got paid less

18
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:56,640
Speaker 1: than people who would just get hired on. And you

19
00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:58,960
Speaker 1: know how like companies, they don't want you talking about

20
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 1: your pay to your coworkers. Yeah, it's kind of like

21
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 1: a taboo. Yeah, it's like a it's like a tactic

22
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 1: they use right because they don't pay equally to people right,

23
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:11,560
Speaker 1: And it depends on if they're male or female. It

24
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 1: depends on how much do you have some insidiable Yeah,

25
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm like jumping up

26
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 1: and down because I'm like sixteen. I just want people

27
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 1: to like think about that for a second. Like one,

28
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:26,759
Speaker 1: two or three percent raise every year. Yeah, you get

29
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:29,119
Speaker 1: raise at most. You get raised at most, and that's

30
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:31,200
Speaker 1: a normal like most of the time. Sometimes you don't

31
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 1: even get a cost of living increase. You had to

32
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:38,760
Speaker 1: get almost a twenty percent raise when you were the

33
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 1: person who had been there the longest, longest team, just

34
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 1: to be equal to the same as the new people

35
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 1: that just got hired. When insanity and I would tell

36
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 1: my bosses, but nothing would happen. And you're not supposed

37
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 1: to talk to your peers about it. You're not supposed to.

38
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 1: They tell you not to. You can get written up,

39
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 1: you can get a lot of trouble talking about how

40
00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 1: much you get paid. Yeah, nobody talks about their salaries

41
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 1: in corporate environments or in work environments. No, you're not

42
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 1: supposed to. Yeah, because of that, because of the inequality

43
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 1: it's a tactic. Yeah, they tell their employees they cannot

44
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 1: talk about their pay and it's only because it's not equal.

45
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 1: And until you said the word tactic and the word

46
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 1: inequality together in the same sense, it didn't really dawn

47
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 1: on me. I just figured, well, they don't want other employees.

48
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 1: But that's the side of me that is conditioned because

49
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 1: I haven't had to think about stuff like Altez because

50
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 1: I'm not a woman, right, you know, And that's exactly

51
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 1: what they do. They don't want people to know so

52
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:31,919
Speaker 1: they can continue to pay women lesson And if you

53
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,520
Speaker 1: don't believe that they do that story right, there is proof.

54
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 1: This is where they get away with it because you know,

55
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 1: they're supposed to be like an equal opportunity employer, all

56
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:42,360
Speaker 1: of them, but it's based on experience. You had the

57
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 1: most experience I did of anybody there. I did, and

58
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,399
Speaker 1: I was young twenties, you know, and they took advantage

59
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 1: of me and I and I knew it. And I

60
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 1: went through those years very angry women And tell me

61
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 1: if I'm wrong, but I've certainly what it seems like

62
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:58,240
Speaker 1: is you're already conditioned to go. It's not gonna matter.

63
00:02:58,440 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 1: I got away from my boss to do it for

64
00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:02,080
Speaker 1: me because I'm gonna say it and my boss does

65
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 1: it for me. If my boss does it. Yeah, I

66
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:06,639
Speaker 1: don't know if it's necessarily conditioned either. I think it's

67
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 1: just you've got to the point where you know the

68
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 1: reality of the situation. Yes, it's not that you don't

69
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:13,920
Speaker 1: think that your actions will have a difference. Is that

70
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,399
Speaker 1: you know they won't have a difference. Yeah, yeah, Yeah,

71
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 1: Well that's the same thing, kind of Yeah, I love you,

72
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 1: stupid man. So, like I was saying, and when I

73
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 1: teased this little bit up, we were going to celebrate

74
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 1: some men weird, right, that is weird weird. Well, what

75
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 1: I was meaning is there's some companies who have some

76
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 1: policies that have equal rights for men and women in

77
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 1: the company as far as like position and pay and

78
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 1: all of that. So I just wanted to highlight a

79
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 1: couple of guys who started companies who did a right.

80
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 1: Oh cool. So like these two guys at base Camp.

81
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 1: So they started a company called base Camp. Their names

82
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 1: are Jason Freed and David Hanson. They base their salary

83
00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 1: solely on the position, no negotiations. Like I was talking

84
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 1: about before, there's no disparity between two people doing the

85
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 1: same job. They also share profits equally with all their employees,

86
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 1: which is cool. It is really regardless of the position

87
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 1: or status in the company, so they'll just pay a

88
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 1: blanket like fe fee salary to whatever the position is.

89
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:18,279
Speaker 1: They don't discriminate, right, And their handbook, their company handbook

90
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 1: is online for people to see, which is not common. Wow,

91
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 1: that's transparent. And I was going to say that so

92
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:24,160
Speaker 1: forward thinking, but that's just really how it should be.

93
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:27,360
Speaker 1: It is, it absolutely is. So thank you to those

94
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:30,279
Speaker 1: two guys, Jason and David for making women equal in

95
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 1: your company, which is where it begins. It is the

96
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 1: founders as a company. You know, women can create companies

97
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:37,720
Speaker 1: all day long, but a lot of companies are ran

98
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:41,039
Speaker 1: by men. That's just the reality. Another one that I

99
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 1: just wanted to talk about is Visa. So Visa has

100
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 1: a CEO. His name is Alfred Kelly, and Visa was

101
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 1: named a best employer by Forbes because of their equal

102
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 1: opportunities in equal pay and like base Camp, they're just

103
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:56,240
Speaker 1: like really transparent on what they do and like how

104
00:04:56,279 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 1: they do things okay, and involving women. Yeah, they're a

105
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 1: huge company, huge company and run by a dude named

106
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 1: Alfred Alfred Alfred Kelly. He's definitely an old white guy.

107
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 1: So you know what, I encourage you guys to do

108
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:14,839
Speaker 1: something today, whoever's listening. I encourage you to go talk

109
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:16,839
Speaker 1: to your co workers about how much they get paid.

110
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:19,839
Speaker 1: If you're a man, if you're a woman, I encourage

111
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 1: you just go ask the questions. Do it? Why not?

112
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 1: It's your right see see what the difference is. That's

113
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:30,479
Speaker 1: my challenge to you is to create transparency and maybe

114
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 1: some change in the next one hundred and fifty one year.

115
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:34,840
Speaker 1: It's coming up
