So this girl, her name 0:07:15.320 --> 0:07:19.400 was Leah Nicewander. She posted a similar video a few 0:07:19.400 --> 0:07:24.080 months ago. Damn she she added her credit score there 0:07:24.200 --> 0:07:26.560 was eight hundred and eleven.

Let's see. 0:08:12.840 --> 0:08:15.200 So people are saying that they don't want this to happen. 0:08:15.600 --> 0:08:17.680 Another girl was begging, please don't do this. 0:08:17.840 --> 0:08:18.640 I'm doomed. 0:08:19.200 --> 0:08:22.119 Another person said if these people saw my credit score, 0:08:22.200 --> 0:08:25.560 I would be blocked finances. See, that's the thing. It's like, 0:08:25.600 --> 0:08:28.240 it goes back to how why are we so secretive? 0:08:28.280 --> 0:08:31.880 And why am I so secretive about finances? There was 0:08:31.920 --> 0:08:33.960 a study that was released and it talked about how 0:08:34.120 --> 0:08:37.400 Americans would do so much better if we were open 0:08:37.840 --> 0:08:42.240 about our salaries and if we actually discussed what we 0:08:42.240 --> 0:08:45.280 were making versus what we weren't making and comparing it 0:08:45.360 --> 0:08:48.000 to our coworkers and you know this and that, and 0:08:48.120 --> 0:08:51.120 I think I think there's something there, But I would 0:08:51.160 --> 0:08:53.880 let everybody else do it first, you first, and then me. 0:08:55.720 --> 0:08:59.080 I know someone who loves asking people how much they make, 0:08:59.720 --> 0:09:05.120 and we find that just weird cringe where like, this 0:09:05.200 --> 0:09:09.280 person is an absolute weirdo. So I don't know about 0:09:09.360 --> 0:09:11.520 sharing salaries and stuff like that that she's always like, 0:09:11.760 --> 0:09:13.640 how much do you make? Oh? And how much do 0:09:13.720 --> 0:09:16.240 you make? I'm like, this bitch is weirdo. I don't 0:09:16.280 --> 0:09:17.080 know how around me. 0:09:17.520 --> 0:09:20.720 No, you know, I think that there's tact that's involved 0:09:20.720 --> 0:09:21.000 with it. 0:09:21.040 --> 0:09:22.560 I don't think that you can just go up to 0:09:22.600 --> 0:09:24.880 anyone that maybe you're not even close to, or that 0:09:24.920 --> 0:09:26.800 you don't really know, or maybe that isn't even in 0:09:26.840 --> 0:09:29.600 the same department, because like, look, what people make in 0:09:30.080 --> 0:09:32.560 the digital department is very different from what they make 0:09:32.640 --> 0:09:35.120 in the programming department or what they make in the 0:09:35.280 --> 0:09:36.320 management department. 0:09:36.440 --> 0:09:38.960 You know. So I think that it has levels to 0:09:39.000 --> 0:09:39.800 these salaries. 0:09:40.240 --> 0:09:41.280 Oh, I definitely think so. 0:09:41.400 --> 0:09:43.240 And I don't think that you can compare yourself to 0:09:43.280 --> 0:09:46.120 people who are not in that same department. But you know, 0:09:46.240 --> 0:09:52.679 let's get into this a little bit more after this break.

I 0:10:10.679 --> 0:10:14.200 was eighteen, and I remember I was sitting in the 0:10:14.240 --> 0:10:18.920 reception area and this when I yeah, her name was 0:10:19.000 --> 0:10:24.120 als right, and I'm gonna sea and she came out. 0:10:24.480 --> 0:10:27.840 She's like, miha. She spoke to me in Spanish, and 0:10:27.920 --> 0:10:29.760 I don't remember what the salary was, but let's say 0:10:29.760 --> 0:10:33.079 it was five hundred dollars a week, right, yeah, yeah, 0:10:33.080 --> 0:10:37.439 medija me. And she told me what they are going 0:10:37.520 --> 0:10:40.560 to pay is five hundred dollars a week. Don't take 0:10:40.640 --> 0:10:43.160 one penny less, tell them you want five fifty. 0:10:43.360 --> 0:10:44.280 Oh what a gift. 0:10:44.760 --> 0:10:47.959 And I was like, wow, you're not going to see you. 0:10:48.040 --> 0:10:51.720 I'm not he ya, I'm sure. I'm sure she's passed 0:10:51.720 --> 0:10:54.400 away since because she was like about like sixty or seventy, 0:10:55.040 --> 0:10:57.680 God bless her soul. And she came to me and 0:10:57.840 --> 0:10:59.720 I was sitting in reception. I remember having my little 0:10:59.720 --> 0:11:02.720 piece of paper, my resume, and she told me exactly 0:11:02.760 --> 0:11:04.960 what to ask for and they gave it to me. 0:11:05.040 --> 0:11:09.319 I remember, and this was my first first corporate job, 0:11:09.880 --> 0:11:12.600 So yes, one hundred percent. If someone came to me 0:11:12.640 --> 0:11:14.400 and be like, oh, when you first started, how much 0:11:14.440 --> 0:11:17.160 did you make? I am willing to say this is 0:11:17.200 --> 0:11:19.200 how much they gave me, this is how much I 0:11:19.200 --> 0:11:21.320 think they should give you. I don't have a problem 0:11:21.360 --> 0:11:21.680 doing that. 0:11:21.960 --> 0:11:25.800 I would definitely I think that that would totally be 0:11:26.160 --> 0:11:29.240 my stance too. Like if it were somebody who came 0:11:29.320 --> 0:11:31.000 up to me and they were getting an on air 0:11:31.080 --> 0:11:33.640 job and they asked for my advice, I would totally 0:11:33.640 --> 0:11:34.320 tell them if they. 0:11:34.200 --> 0:11:35.120 Were getting low balled. 0:11:35.200 --> 0:11:37.840 But I don't know if I would feel comfortable, you know, 0:11:38.400 --> 0:11:41.760 discussing what my salary is, especially. 0:11:41.200 --> 0:11:44.400 With currently I don't think currently like I would not. 0:11:44.720 --> 0:11:49.160 I would not disclose because there's levels, there's people that 0:11:49.320 --> 0:11:51.360 get certain perks, you know, and I don't. I just 0:11:51.360 --> 0:11:55.839 don't want to create friction between management and employees. So 0:11:56.240 --> 0:12:00.280 I'm very private about how much money I make. Not 0:12:00.400 --> 0:12:07.439 because I'm gaykeeping my bread, but because that's my personal information. 0:12:07.960 --> 0:12:09.959 But if you need some guidance, if you want to 0:12:10.000 --> 0:12:11.560 tell me this is when I get paid, do you 0:12:11.559 --> 0:12:13.640 think it's good or do you think I could get more. 0:12:14.000 --> 0:12:17.120 I will advise you, but I'm not disclosing. 0:12:18.480 --> 0:12:20.640 Well, I feel like there was something that I saw 0:12:20.679 --> 0:12:23.959 a story about a woman who ended up seeing that 0:12:24.000 --> 0:12:27.720 a job, her job, was posted with a higher salary. 0:12:27.800 --> 0:12:29.760 Did you ever hear about the story about the woman? 0:12:30.240 --> 0:12:30.560 Harly? 0:12:30.600 --> 0:12:33.479 And I saw it two days after? 0:12:34.520 --> 0:12:39.160 Oh you saw? Okay? Yeah, So this woman noticed that 0:12:39.400 --> 0:12:44.720 on her company's job site, her exact job, the description 0:12:44.880 --> 0:12:47.640 of exactly what she does was on there. 0:12:48.120 --> 0:12:50.319 But it was like making and I don't know, I'm 0:12:50.320 --> 0:12:53.280 making up deceumber, like ten thousand dollars more than what 0:12:53.400 --> 0:12:57.000 she was currently earning. So she went put up her resume, 0:12:57.360 --> 0:13:00.600 applied for that job, and her company has the nerve 0:13:00.640 --> 0:13:02.839 to tell her like, no, this is for a new hire. 0:13:03.040 --> 0:13:05.320 She was like, why on earth would you pay somebody 0:13:05.320 --> 0:13:07.679 that's a new hire more? And I've been here for years. 0:13:09.080 --> 0:13:11.479 That is like insulting. 0:13:13.000 --> 0:13:17.360 Insulting. Beyond is she did she apply for it? And 0:13:17.400 --> 0:13:18.720 like re get her job? Or no? 0:13:19.200 --> 0:13:20.400 I think she applied for it. 0:13:20.440 --> 0:13:21.840 You know what, I have to look it up again 0:13:21.880 --> 0:13:26.199 because I remember, yes, I remember skimming it. But that 0:13:26.360 --> 0:13:28.800 is case in point, like if she would have been 0:13:28.840 --> 0:13:31.040 able to talk to other people, in her department. If 0:13:31.080 --> 0:13:33.040 they were comparing things, she could say like, hey, wait 0:13:33.040 --> 0:13:35.600 a minute, why am I getting paid less? Like maybe 0:13:35.640 --> 0:13:37.280 I need to go when it's my time for my 0:13:37.360 --> 0:13:40.719 annual review to discuss with them. Why is there such 0:13:40.720 --> 0:13:42.920 a big discrepancy with what I'm getting paid and what 0:13:42.960 --> 0:13:45.480 you guys are willing to pay somebody who's just coming 0:13:45.480 --> 0:13:48.400 in off the street. Because that's where I would I 0:13:48.480 --> 0:13:50.920 will say it, and I'll say it again and again 0:13:51.040 --> 0:13:53.400 and again. These hoes ain't loyal. 0:13:53.960 --> 0:13:56.359 These companies don't. 0:13:56.120 --> 0:13:59.760 Care they are You are a number and they are 0:13:59.840 --> 0:14:02.200 just trying to get the maximum for the minimum their 0:14:02.240 --> 0:14:03.080 maximize does. 0:14:03.720 --> 0:14:06.640 They're trying to get the maximum for the minimum on you. 0:14:07.040 --> 0:14:09.040 And if you are not smart and if you are 0:14:09.040 --> 0:14:11.160 not crafty, they will take you. 0:14:11.720 --> 0:14:14.000 That is a fact. Like I have a friend she 0:14:14.120 --> 0:14:17.560 works for a company and a position became available. Well, 0:14:17.559 --> 0:14:20.440 it was two of the same positions, and she wanted 0:14:20.480 --> 0:14:23.760 to apply inter office and she was like, okay, I 0:14:23.760 --> 0:14:25.920 want to apply for this job. Wow, it's like an 0:14:25.960 --> 0:14:29.760 extra thirty thousand dollars a year. And they were like, well, 0:14:29.800 --> 0:14:33.360 because you already work here, you wouldn't get an extra 0:14:33.400 --> 0:14:37.080 thirty thousand dollars a year or why all we can 0:14:37.160 --> 0:14:41.080 give an internal employee if they take that position is 0:14:41.120 --> 0:14:42.400 a ten percent raise. 0:14:43.040 --> 0:14:44.880 That is straight trash. 0:14:45.120 --> 0:14:48.440 That's companies for you. Ten percent raise. You can't get 0:14:48.480 --> 0:14:50.440 the thirty g's. You could get a ten percent bump 0:14:50.480 --> 0:14:51.440 if you want. 0:14:51.760 --> 0:14:54.680 Okay, I found the story. I found the story. 0:14:54.720 --> 0:14:57.840 Okay, So this was on Yahoo News and it said 0:14:57.960 --> 0:15:02.080 woman reapplies for her own job after higher salary offered 0:15:02.120 --> 0:15:05.240 for the job in a new listing. Okay, So she 0:15:05.360 --> 0:15:08.280 did a viral series of tweets where. 0:15:08.000 --> 0:15:10.280 She stumbled upon a job posting on LinkedIn. 0:15:10.360 --> 0:15:14.280 Okay, so she went to LinkedIn and it advertised the 0:15:14.360 --> 0:15:18.240 salary range was thirty two thousand to ninety thousand dollars 0:15:18.280 --> 0:15:19.720 more than they currently pay her. 0:15:19.880 --> 0:15:23.560 Could you imagine thirty to ninety thousand dollars? That is 0:15:23.760 --> 0:15:27.440 a giant range. Okay, that is life changing money. 0:15:28.040 --> 0:15:30.840 If you made thirty to ninety thousand dollars more today, honey, 0:15:30.840 --> 0:15:32.360 that would not like would that change your life? 0:15:32.360 --> 0:15:33.360 It would change money? Core? 0:15:33.880 --> 0:15:34.040 Right. 0:15:34.680 --> 0:15:38.720 So she went on to say that she discovered the discrepancy. 0:15:38.680 --> 0:15:42.880 And there's a new law in New York that requires 0:15:42.920 --> 0:15:47.000 companies to include a pay range in their job postings. Okay, 0:15:47.440 --> 0:15:51.240 that job was in It was basically put out there 0:15:51.880 --> 0:15:55.880 and intended to promote pay equity, but it also exposed 0:15:55.920 --> 0:15:57.680 these unequal pay policies. 0:15:57.760 --> 0:16:01.640 So she writes that she applied. 0:16:02.440 --> 0:16:05.760 So then she said that she tweeted that she responded 0:16:05.760 --> 0:16:08.200 to the posting by applying for her own job. 0:16:08.560 --> 0:16:10.480 That she's currently in correct. 0:16:10.920 --> 0:16:15.800 Then she expressed frustration in her current employer's performative inclusion 0:16:15.840 --> 0:16:19.560 efforts and a lack of resolution regarding her own underpayment. 0:16:20.120 --> 0:16:22.360 So she went on to say this is wild. 0:16:23.120 --> 0:16:27.280 She argued for months about the pay in equity. She 0:16:27.400 --> 0:16:30.640 told her managers multiple times that she knew she was 0:16:30.680 --> 0:16:31.640 being underpaid. 0:16:32.160 --> 0:16:33.440 She got the run around. 0:16:33.800 --> 0:16:36.280 They said, they know they can they can't do this 0:16:36.440 --> 0:16:41.240 right now, that it's a tough labor market, and so 0:16:41.360 --> 0:16:46.440 she said that. Now, what she did was she posted 0:16:46.480 --> 0:16:48.720 that link in the group chat of all of the 0:16:48.800 --> 0:16:51.520 other employees who were being underpaid, and then they had 0:16:51.520 --> 0:16:52.760 an emergency meeting. 0:16:52.880 --> 0:16:55.640 This is so juicy, Oh my gosh, this is so good. 0:16:56.160 --> 0:16:59.720 So the company allegedly then held an emergency meeting where 0:16:59.720 --> 0:17:02.200 she told the job listing was meant to be an 0:17:02.240 --> 0:17:07.239 internal posting kind of like your story, honey, okay, and 0:17:07.280 --> 0:17:09.439 she said that it wasn't meant for anyone to apply 0:17:09.520 --> 0:17:12.639 to externally because public companies legally have to post jobs 0:17:12.680 --> 0:17:15.439 even if it's an internal conversation. She goes, but that 0:17:15.520 --> 0:17:18.119 doesn't solve the fact that someone internally is now still 0:17:18.160 --> 0:17:21.160 going to make thirty two thousand dollars plus. 0:17:20.800 --> 0:17:21.359 More than me. 0:17:22.480 --> 0:17:25.040 Unfair, same position, same jobs, saint pay. 0:17:26.240 --> 0:17:30.240 So then, instead of the company's writers getting a raised 0:17:30.280 --> 0:17:32.320 because all of them I guess banded together from what 0:17:32.400 --> 0:17:37.200 this article is saying, they had discussions about potential layoffs. 0:17:37.240 --> 0:17:40.680 See what I'm telling you, they will burn you. This 0:17:40.760 --> 0:17:41.760 is so nuts. 0:17:42.359 --> 0:17:45.359 Wrote layoffs because we want what you were going to 0:17:45.400 --> 0:17:47.159 pay somebody else. Okay, no problem. 0:17:47.680 --> 0:17:47.920 Wow. 0:17:47.960 --> 0:17:50.960 So then she officially announced on her Twitter that she 0:17:51.080 --> 0:17:55.040 was looking for new writing roles, preferably remote because she's 0:17:55.080 --> 0:17:56.959 currently located in New York City. 0:17:58.520 --> 0:18:01.480 She said that she that she would have thought of this. 0:18:02.200 --> 0:18:07.280 She inherited this manage in the reorganization and learned that 0:18:07.320 --> 0:18:12.199 they were paid substantially more than her, and she was 0:18:12.240 --> 0:18:15.080 told that they couldn't adjust midyear, but they promised to 0:18:15.160 --> 0:18:18.160 sort it out at bonus time. She goes, and by 0:18:18.200 --> 0:18:21.440 the way, they did not fix it at bonus time. 0:18:21.560 --> 0:18:22.040 Of course not. 0:18:22.160 --> 0:18:24.800 Uh wow. 0:18:24.880 --> 0:18:27.520 So this is just mind blowing, you know. And that's 0:18:27.520 --> 0:18:30.719 where the argument lies. It's like, should people know what 0:18:30.800 --> 0:18:33.440 other people are making? Should it be held close to 0:18:33.480 --> 0:18:36.040 the best because like, also, if you're the person who's 0:18:36.040 --> 0:18:38.760 getting paid thirty thousand plus dollars more, you're like, hey, 0:18:38.840 --> 0:18:42.359 I don't want anybody coming in on my territory. 0:18:42.640 --> 0:18:45.080 Yeah, because then it becomes a problem and she's just 0:18:45.160 --> 0:18:47.239 like yo, bro, like, well, we're gonna take from you 0:18:47.320 --> 0:18:49.680 to give to this person. When it comes to money, 0:18:49.720 --> 0:18:53.399
