Marketing is so strategic and clever. And 62 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:07,200 Speaker 4: we spoke about the different personality types when it comes 63 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:08,880 Speaker 4: to your money, and that. 64 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,200 Speaker 2: We feel like we might have got a bit off track. 65 00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:12,960 Speaker 5: Is that why the whole team had to do the 66 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:13,800 Speaker 5: Myers Briggs test? 67 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:17,920 Speaker 2: Yeah?

In fact, 73 00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:32,880 Speaker 2: I don't just know what I think. I think I'm 74 00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:35,920 Speaker 2: still certified in being able to analyze the NB. 75 00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:38,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, well that's what you get when you have all 76 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:39,000 Speaker 3: those degrees. 77 00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:41,760 Speaker 5: I love how you've got a certification. And we just 78 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:42,720 Speaker 5: did a BuzzFeed quiz. 79 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:49,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, no, no, no, I can present the results to other people. 80 00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:51,960 Speaker 3: And I just got a free email. 81 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:55,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, and if you want to do that and get 82 00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,400 Speaker 2: your free email, we actually put the link for you 83 00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:59,840 Speaker 2: to get your free email and MBT in the show 84 00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:03,240 Speaker 2: of the Wednesday episode. But Jess and I literally went 85 00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:06,280 Speaker 2: on a tangent and we found it so interesting because 86 00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:09,160 Speaker 2: it turns out we have exactly the same personality type. 87 00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:11,720 Speaker 2: So historically when I've done it, I know that I'm 88 00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,680 Speaker 2: an IRONFJ And then Jess was like, wait, hold on, 89 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:16,800 Speaker 2: let me go into my emails and look it up, 90 00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:19,240 Speaker 2: and it turns out Jess is exactly the same, and 91 00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:21,080 Speaker 2: so we put the link in the slack chat of 92 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:23,520 Speaker 2: our team, which is just like our team group chat, 93 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:26,159 Speaker 2: I would say, And we've been learning a whole heap 94 00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:29,720 Speaker 2: this week just about what personalities we have and what 95 00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,800 Speaker 2: personality Tony is. And I think we all understood that 96 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:35,240 Speaker 2: that was your personality. And I can't remember what you got, 97 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:36,720 Speaker 2: but I was like, oh that makes sense. 98 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:38,680 Speaker 3: I'm an EESFJ. 99 00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:40,039 Speaker 2: Yeah that's a sense. 100 00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:42,800 Speaker 4: That was like, you are absolutely extroverted, that's for sure. 101 00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:43,159 Speaker 3: Thank you. 102 00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:45,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, she's our extroverted friend. And then we got 103 00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:48,599 Speaker 2: Ryan's and I wasn't surprised when his came back with 104 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:51,680 Speaker 2: introverted at the start, because you're good at putting on 105 00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:54,280 Speaker 2: a show, Ryan, But I think you like hanging out 106 00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:55,680 Speaker 2: with your dog, is that right? 107 00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:58,760 Speaker 6: Yeah? Yeah. Humans take energy from me. I get my 108 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:02,400 Speaker 6: energy from my alone time. I don't like people. It's 109 00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:03,400 Speaker 6: just like that's where my. 110 00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:06,279 Speaker 2: Energy is the same as me, Like, I obviously adore people, 111 00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:08,839 Speaker 2: but I also love my own time and that's where 112 00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:09,640 Speaker 2: I get my energy. 113 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:11,200 Speaker 5: Yeah, don't get me wrong. I do hate a lot 114 00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:11,960 Speaker 5: of people. 115 00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:15,600 Speaker 2: All right, But it's all about understanding yourself and what 116 00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:18,960 Speaker 2: you're willing to take on and what you can actually tolerate, 117 00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:21,640 Speaker 2: and I guess to loop back to making this about money, 118 00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:23,880 Speaker 2: because it turns out this podcast is called She's on 119 00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:28,200 Speaker 2: the Money. It's all about understanding how you make decisions 120 00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:30,640 Speaker 2: around money and where that actually stems from. And we 121 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:33,640 Speaker 2: discussed just the different money personality types and how you 122 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:35,400 Speaker 2: would relate to that. And that's how we got off 123 00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:38,240 Speaker 2: track to MBTI because at the end of the day, like, 124 00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:41,839 Speaker 2: it's really interesting learning about yourself. I think a lot 125 00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:44,520 Speaker 2: of people if you listen to the podcast and see 126 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:47,599 Speaker 2: me on social media, you would immediately think I'm extroverted, 127 00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:51,640 Speaker 2: because I'm good at being extroverted. I'm good at putting 128 00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:54,320 Speaker 2: myself out there. But the people that are closest to 129 00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:56,520 Speaker 2: me know that at the end of the day, you 130 00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,279 Speaker 2: need to I'm done by yourself. Yeah, I'm done. I'm 131 00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:02,440 Speaker 2: going home. I'm probably the first person to tap out. 132 00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:04,640 Speaker 2: When we go out for dinner.

So as of the 342 00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:29,040 Speaker 2: first of July, our superanuation guarantee, which is the amount 343 00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:32,000 Speaker 2: of SUPER that our employer legally has to pay us, 344 00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:35,400 Speaker 2: is going to increase, which I'm so excited about because 345 00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:38,320 Speaker 2: over the next few years through to twenty twenty five, 346 00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:41,320 Speaker 2: the government is actually planning on taking our SUPER all 347 00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:42,800 Speaker 2: the way up to twelve percent instead. 348 00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:44,600 Speaker 4: I didn't realize it was going that high. 349 00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:47,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, so it's going up to twelve percent instead of 350 00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:50,200 Speaker 2: nine point five percent, which is obviously a very significant 351 00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:52,880 Speaker 2: increase to the amount of superannuation that you put aside, 352 00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:55,400 Speaker 2: and I think it's well over due, if I'm being honest, 353 00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:58,800 Speaker 2: because of inflation and literally everything else, and too many 354 00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:02,280 Speaker 2: times employers don't get their people pay rises in line 355 00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:06,680 Speaker 2: with CPI and indexation, and the fact that they actually 356 00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:09,240 Speaker 2: need to increase the amount of money that they have, 357 00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:11,760 Speaker 2: because you know, if we distill it down, the amount 358 00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:14,680 Speaker 2: of money that you need today is actually less than 359 00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:17,400 Speaker 2: what you would need in three years time, because you know, 360 00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:19,320 Speaker 2: a life of bread might be three dollars today, but 361 00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:21,760 Speaker 2: it will be three fifty in you know, three years time. 362 00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:25,440 Speaker 2: And that's what inflation actually means, Like it's inflating costs 363 00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:28,440 Speaker 2: over time and the rising price of goods and services, 364 00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:31,000 Speaker 2: which is absolutely fine and very normal. But I just 365 00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:33,160 Speaker 2: don't think we've ever kept up with that when it 366 00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:36,920 Speaker 2: comes to superannuation, because what was appropriate when SUPER became 367 00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:40,360 Speaker 2: mandated in nineteen ninety two is very different to what 368 00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:43,960 Speaker 2: needs to happen now, So it to me is well overdue. 369 00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:46,720 Speaker 2: But the conversation that's been happening in the office before 370 00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:48,640 Speaker 2: I get to techniques. 371 00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:51,320 Speaker 3: Because everyone like, hang on, what is she doing? 372 00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:53,760 Speaker 2: She was talking about her wins and confessions and community 373 00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:55,160 Speaker 2: and now I was just talking about super we did 374 00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:59,080 Speaker 2: not need. It's one of those conversations that I want 375 00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:01,960 Speaker 2: to have because this podcast is all about empowering you 376 00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:04,320 Speaker 2: to have better money conversations, and at the moment, there 377 00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:07,440 Speaker 2: is a money conversation that is going to impact everybody 378 00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:11,480 Speaker 2: who is employed at the moment getting paid superannuation that 379 00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:13,480 Speaker 2: we might not all be comfortable to have. And I 380 00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:15,960 Speaker 2: thought it was a good time on Friday drinks to 381 00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:19,280 Speaker 2: have avent with my team about how would you approach 382 00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:21,399 Speaker 2: this and how do we talk about this with our 383 00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:24,159 Speaker 2: employer and why are we going to do that? So 384 00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:26,120 Speaker 2: let me just talk for a second about why it's 385 00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:28,399 Speaker 2: really important for you to have a conversation with your 386 00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:31,119 Speaker 2: employer about how that change is going to impact you. 387 00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:33,840 Speaker 2: Because you might have thought great, like that's fabulous, where 388 00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:36,399 Speaker 2: is that money coming from? So if you have a 389 00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:39,640 Speaker 2: contract with an employer that you know your contract says 390 00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:43,240 Speaker 2: it includes super, there's a very high probability that that 391 00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:47,160 Speaker 2: increase in super. It's only zero point five percent right now, 392 00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:49,040 Speaker 2: but over the next few years it's going to creep 393 00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:51,320 Speaker 2: up to twelve percent. So that which is a lot, 394 00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:53,399 Speaker 2: which is a lot, is going to come out of 395 00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:56,560 Speaker 2: your take home salary. So if you are an employee 396 00:17:56,640 --> 00:18:00,199 Speaker 2: who is paid on an including super basis, might have 397 00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:02,119 Speaker 2: a rude shot coming for you in the first of 398 00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:04,760 Speaker 2: July if you haven't had a discussion with your employer 399 00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:07,720 Speaker 2: and you don't actually understand it because they could take 400 00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:10,960 Speaker 2: that money from your take home pay and just reallocate 401 00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:12,240 Speaker 2: it towards superannuation. 402 00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:13,159 Speaker 5: Legal. 403 00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:15,720 Speaker 2: Look, it is absolutely legal because that's a part of 404 00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:18,400 Speaker 2: your salary package. So for example, if I said, Ryan, 405 00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:22,359 Speaker 2: you're on a salary of seventy thousand dollars including SUPER, 406 00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:26,680 Speaker 2: very nice, very sexy, they might just reallocate what goes 407 00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:29,600 Speaker 2: towards SUPER so that they still meet that commitment. And 408 00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:32,159 Speaker 2: it's absolutely well within their rights to do that. But 409 00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:34,760 Speaker 2: I guess that comes into a moral conversation and an 410 00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:37,320 Speaker 2: actual logical conversation and are you doing the right thing 411 00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:40,320 Speaker 2: by your employees? And yeah, we've had a good conversation 412 00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:41,920 Speaker 2: this week, Tony, how do you feel about it? 413 00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:45,760 Speaker 3: So then would that, in that situation be my responsibility 414 00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:48,080 Speaker 3: to check in that they are doing the right thing, 415 00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:50,960 Speaker 3: because I mean, we talk about it all the time. 416 00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:54,359 Speaker 3: How intimidating it is to bring up Yeah, for sure, 417 00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:56,800 Speaker 3: So I'm supposed to go into my boss's office and 418 00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:59,000 Speaker 3: you say, oh, I actually think that you're supposed to 419 00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:01,280 Speaker 3: be paying me more. And if you're not forebottle on 420 00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:03,840 Speaker 3: these things, which most people aren't because we aren't talking 421 00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:06,919 Speaker 3: about it. It's a pretty terrifying thing to think about 422 00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:09,720 Speaker 3: asking for more money, even when it's not actually a 423 00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:11,320 Speaker 3: pay rise, just like I just want to make sure 424 00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:14,720 Speaker 3: that you're allocating my fees properly. So how do you 425 00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:17,359 Speaker 3: suggest that people tackle that? I mean, I know that's 426 00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:20,680 Speaker 3: probably a huge question, but what are we supposed to do? 427 00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:23,600 Speaker 2: And that's the conversation I wanted to have. 428 00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:26,560 Speaker 3: I've led you straight there, thank you, But it. 429 00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:29,160 Speaker 2: Is really hard to have that conversation because a lot 430 00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:31,280 Speaker 2: of us, as much as we have these great podcasts, 431 00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:34,080 Speaker 2: so I think they're great, a podcast about, you know, 432 00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:36,800 Speaker 2: talking to your employer about pay rises, like most of us, 433 00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:38,920 Speaker 2: to be honest, haven't done that. Most of us haven't 434 00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:42,760 Speaker 2: had that conversation and scary. Yeah, and for some of us, 435 00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:45,320 Speaker 2: our employers might have sent out a letter already this 436 00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:47,280 Speaker 2: June and just said, hey, guys, this is how the 437 00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:49,840 Speaker 2: changes are going to impact you. In which case you're educated, 438 00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:51,960 Speaker 2: you know what's going on. You've probably been given the 439 00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:54,800 Speaker 2: right contact details to have a conversation about that. But 440 00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:56,840 Speaker 2: if this is the first time you're hearing about that, 441 00:19:56,920 --> 00:20:00,800 Speaker 2: in my opinion as an employer, it's not good. I 442 00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:03,760 Speaker 2: am lucky that our team is small enough that I've 443 00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:06,320 Speaker 2: verbally mentioned it to you guys. I think you're across it. 444 00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:08,760 Speaker 2: You know, the decision that we've made is accepted by 445 00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:10,600 Speaker 2: the team. You guys are super happy with it. It's 446 00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:12,440 Speaker 2: all well and good, right, So I don't need to 447 00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:14,600 Speaker 2: send out a formal letter. But if you work in 448 00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:16,920 Speaker 2: like a big corporate, usually the best way for them 449 00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:20,000 Speaker 2: to communicate with you guys on a big level is 450 00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:21,720 Speaker 2: to send out a letter and be like, hey, here's this, 451 00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:24,879 Speaker 2: here's HIL's contact, here's the time. If you want to 452 00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:28,200 Speaker 2: have this conversation before any changes are made, you need 453 00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:31,760 Speaker 2: to be having that conversation with your employee now and going, hey, Jess, 454 00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:33,960 Speaker 2: I noticed that you said that you weren't going to 455 00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:35,760 Speaker 2: do that, But I really think that, you know, the 456 00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:38,800 Speaker 2: opposite should be happening, or vice versa, or whatever you 457 00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:42,199 Speaker 2: think is fair for your situation. And you know, not 458 00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:45,280 Speaker 2: every single business, especially small businesses, are going to be 459 00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:47,600 Speaker 2: in a position where, you know, budgets might be tight. 460 00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:50,639 Speaker 2: We've just gone through COVID, like we're still going through COVID, 461 00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:53,879 Speaker 2: and that could be actually quite challenging for small businesses 462 00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:56,320 Speaker 2: to come up with you know, it might only be 463 00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:59,879 Speaker 2: zero point five percent of their super contributions, but if 464 00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:01,960 Speaker 2: they are running it on the line and they are, 465 00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:03,200 Speaker 2: you know, down to. 466 00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:06,240 Speaker 3: Every dollar, especially at the moment, Yeah, that's. 467 00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:08,399 Speaker 2: Such a big change for a business to have to 468 00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:11,120 Speaker 2: make that. I think that as much as it might 469 00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:12,919 Speaker 2: be a big change and they might not have to 470 00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:15,040 Speaker 2: absorb it, because I'm kind of on the fence right Like, 471 00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:18,280 Speaker 2: I'm not saying give everyone a pay rise, nor negotiable 472 00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:21,159 Speaker 2: like you guys have got that, You're welcome. It was 473 00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:23,480 Speaker 2: something that I considered and I spoke to my bookkeeper 474 00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:25,320 Speaker 2: and I spoke to my accountant. It wasn't something that 475 00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:27,639 Speaker 2: I just said, Wow, we're made of money, let's do this. 476 00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:29,919 Speaker 2: It was more like, is this the right thing to do? 477 00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:31,640 Speaker 2: How do we do it? Like I considered it all 478 00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:34,080 Speaker 2: options and made a decision. But a lot of other 479 00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:36,680 Speaker 2: small businesses aren't in that situation. And I think that 480 00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:40,040 Speaker 2: that then comes down to communication. We're all adults. We 481 00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:42,879 Speaker 2: deserve to be spoken to like adults, and if our 482 00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:45,080 Speaker 2: business can't afford it, I think that they should just 483 00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:47,480 Speaker 2: be saying, hey, Tony, you know what this is changing, 484 00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:50,400 Speaker 2: we can't afford it. Here's why, and you'd probably be like, yeah, 485 00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:52,959 Speaker 2: no problems, Like I think it would be really challenging 486 00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:56,199 Speaker 2: to actually approach that, especially if you haven't spoken to 487 00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:59,080 Speaker 2: your boss or your manager about your salary before. Yeah, 488 00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:01,760 Speaker 2: because we've all been own into this position where something 489 00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:05,520 Speaker 2: is definitely changing. It could impact you regardless of what 490 00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:07,600 Speaker 2: your job role is. So if you're in a position 491 00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:09,280 Speaker 2: where like, well, vitue, I don't really care if it 492 00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:11,800 Speaker 2: comes out of my income or if it gets added, like, 493 00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:14,600 Speaker 2: I don't mind either way. They're great, good for you, 494 00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:17,560 Speaker 2: But some of us budget down to the very last cent, 495 00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:20,080 Speaker 2: and this is going to impact us, and we really 496 00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:22,600 Speaker 2: need to be aware of how to have that conversation. 497 00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:24,240 Speaker 5: If we work for a big company. 498 00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:27,840 Speaker 6: Yeah, is it every individual's job to speak to their 499 00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:30,080 Speaker 6: individual manager or is it more of you know, the 500 00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:32,280 Speaker 6: staff kind of getting together or speaking to their direct 501 00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:34,760 Speaker 6: manager and saying, hey, direct manager, can you speak to 502 00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:37,359 Speaker 6: your manager on behalf of the crew, because I'm guessing 503 00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:39,159 Speaker 6: it's not going to be a oh we'll give it 504 00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:40,960 Speaker 6: to those three people, but not those so it'll be 505 00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:43,600 Speaker 6: like a company decision, right, they're like a global change. Yeah, 506 00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:45,200 Speaker 6: But is there like channels to go through. 507 00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:47,320 Speaker 2: Look, there are channels to go through. I think it's 508 00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:50,080 Speaker 2: just talking to your direct manager. But I also know 509 00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:52,600 Speaker 2: that this is going to be a fickle conversation, and 510 00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:56,359 Speaker 2: to be honest, I am predicting some pretty nasty media 511 00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:59,800 Speaker 2: articles coming out about businesses who have decided not to 512 00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:03,520 Speaker 2: eat increase their employees' salaries and decide to just take 513 00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:04,040 Speaker 2: it from them. 514 00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:06,600 Speaker 6: If I found out they've taken job keeper and don't 515 00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:08,200 Speaker 6: pass on this, I'm going to be mad. 516 00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:10,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a good point. 517 00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:11,480 Speaker 6: If you're in a BEG company and you go and 518 00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:13,840 Speaker 6: speak to your manager, they're in the same boat as you. 519 00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:15,920 Speaker 6: They also want it. It's not like they're the one 520 00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:18,600 Speaker 6: losing money to give to you. They're with you. 521 00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:20,920 Speaker 4: So and that's the hard thing. I think every business 522 00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:23,639 Speaker 4: structure is different, and so maybe it's worth when you 523 00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:26,840 Speaker 4: approach that conversation instead of going oh, i'd really like 524 00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:29,200 Speaker 4: a pay rise, saying hey, like, I want to talk 525 00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:31,960 Speaker 4: about the super contribution that's being made. I think that 526 00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:34,040 Speaker 4: it's justified, and i'd really like to talk to you 527 00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:37,800 Speaker 4: about ensuring that that gap is met by you rather 528 00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:41,440 Speaker 4: than by it being taken from from me. Yeah, exactly right. 529 00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:43,119 Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think that that is well within your 530 00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:45,480 Speaker 2: rights to have that conversation. I'm just going to bounce 531 00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:47,800 Speaker 2: back to what you were saying before, Ryan, like, you know, 532 00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:50,639 Speaker 2: do you talk to your fellow staff members about it? 533 00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:51,240 Speaker 4: Yes? 534 00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:53,679 Speaker 2: And no, like I think you should like. From my 535 00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:57,200 Speaker 2: personal perspective, absolutely, I'm a very big advocate of talking 536 00:23:57,200 --> 00:23:59,439 Speaker 2: about your salary and sharing it if you're comfortable to 537 00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:02,240 Speaker 2: do so. And I don't think that any employer should 538 00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:05,159 Speaker 2: ever be ashamed of the salary that they're paying someone 539 00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:07,240 Speaker 2: to the point where they would be mad if one 540 00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:09,120 Speaker 2: employee spoke to another about how they. 541 00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:09,600 Speaker 5: They do that. 542 00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:13,440 Speaker 2: I was going to makes they do contract because some people, 543 00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:17,840 Speaker 2: but speaking from me as a professional, some people have 544 00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:21,720 Speaker 2: in their contracts clauses to not discuss pay and salary 545 00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:24,280 Speaker 2: And I just want you to tread really lightly around 546 00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:27,119 Speaker 2: that because more recently I've spoken to someone in the 547 00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:30,240 Speaker 2: Shees on the Money community who has been told off 548 00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:33,240 Speaker 2: for talking about pays to one of their team members 549 00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:35,159 Speaker 2: and they thought they were doing the right thing, and 550 00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:39,720 Speaker 2: to be honest, they were, from my personal opinion, absolutely 551 00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:42,200 Speaker 2: well within their rights. Someone new started they were being 552 00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:44,520 Speaker 2: paid a whole heap more than what they were being paid. 553 00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:46,920 Speaker 2: They approached their manager about us for a pay rise 554 00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:48,879 Speaker 2: and they're like, oh no, like that's definitely not what 555 00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:51,240 Speaker 2: they're being paid. So they're going back and forth on 556 00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:54,080 Speaker 2: who's lying and not, and it just became an absolute mess. 557 00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:56,880 Speaker 2: So I think it's one of those things where personally, 558 00:24:56,920 --> 00:24:58,639 Speaker 2: of course they think you should be talking about it. 559 00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:01,879 Speaker 2: We should openly talk about my but check your contracts 560 00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:03,880 Speaker 2: if you're going to do this, so that you don't 561 00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:05,679 Speaker 2: end up in a pickle, because the last thing I 562 00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:07,640 Speaker 2: need is you listening to if she's on the Money 563 00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:10,400 Speaker 2: episode going I'm so empowered, like this is so right, 564 00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:14,040 Speaker 2: she's so correct, and then finding yourself in HR's office 565 00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:16,159 Speaker 2: because you weren't supposed to do that and I know 566 00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:18,000 Speaker 2: that that's not the world we should live in, and 567 00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:22,280 Speaker 2: it makes me so mad. But we need to disclaim it. 568 00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:23,679 Speaker 2: We need to tell you that. 569 00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:25,480 Speaker 5: Is that a clause that we should be crossing off 570 00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:26,719 Speaker 5: the contract before we sign it? 571 00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:28,720 Speaker 4: Oh I would I wouldn't sign a contract. 572 00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:30,840 Speaker 6: I would absolutely not, because I've worked at a place 573 00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:32,280 Speaker 6: where they said, oh, we don't do this and then 574 00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:34,920 Speaker 6: are rocked up and they clearly did, and they're just like, oh, 575 00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:36,480 Speaker 6: we hope the others didn't tell you about it. 576 00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:37,720 Speaker 4: Oh that's crazy. 577 00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:42,639 Speaker 3: Yeah, it just it breeds such a horrible culture of privacy. 578 00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:45,439 Speaker 3: And also, just like you said before, Victoria, if a 579 00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:48,040 Speaker 3: company is that embarrassed about what they're paying you that 580 00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:49,680 Speaker 3: they don't want you to talk to each other, then 581 00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:52,960 Speaker 3: it's probably a bigger problem than what you're really looking at. 582 00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:55,640 Speaker 4: If I saw that clause, my first immediate thought would be, 583 00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:56,680 Speaker 4: what are you trying to hide? 584 00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:58,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, exactly right. 585 00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:00,280 Speaker 4: Yeah, that shouldn't be there.

So I don't 789 00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:53,239 Speaker 2: own a bathrobe. And our friend Jess literally could not 790 00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:56,320 Speaker 2: comprehend the fact that I did not own a bathrobe. 791 00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:58,680 Speaker 4: I live for my robe. Yea, it is the best 792 00:34:58,680 --> 00:34:59,040 Speaker 4: money ever. 793 00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:02,280 Speaker 3: I joined the car a year ago, last when COVID 794 00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:03,920 Speaker 3: first happened, and yeah, best money ever. 795 00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:05,920 Speaker 4: If you really want to feel good, get an ankle 796 00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:06,520 Speaker 4: length one. 797 00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:13,040 Speaker 2: So I did all my research because I didn't want 798 00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:15,719 Speaker 2: like their big bulky things. In my head, they were 799 00:35:15,719 --> 00:35:17,799 Speaker 2: like going to take up all this wardrobe space and 800 00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:19,319 Speaker 2: like they were going to be hard to store. And 801 00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:22,719 Speaker 2: turns out I'm definitely not worried about that anymore. This 802 00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:26,680 Speaker 2: prime place in my wardrobe. But I did all my 803 00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:28,759 Speaker 2: research and I was like, one hundred and fifty dollars, like, 804 00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:30,640 Speaker 2: this is a lot of money for a robe that 805 00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:33,200 Speaker 2: nobody else is going to see. And so I started 806 00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:35,440 Speaker 2: looking into them and I ended up doing this whole 807 00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:38,000 Speaker 2: poll on my Instagram.
