Sorry, I'm strange age Yvon 176 00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:38,280 Speaker 6: recently announced that he's given away almost all of the 177 00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:41,360 Speaker 6: company's ownerships that's Patagrone out to a nonprofit which is 178 00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:45,920 Speaker 6: dedicated to fighting climate change, which is freaking incredible. It's 179 00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:48,920 Speaker 6: flipping amazing, Like literally, he's a billionaire and he's like, 180 00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:50,720 Speaker 6: have all my company, but it's all good. 181 00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:52,439 Speaker 5: I'm just trying to say, it's a planet over here. 182 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:53,800 Speaker 5: What are you doing? Elon Musk. 183 00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:57,000 Speaker 6: Yeah, he's pretty much dedicated. Excess profits from the company 184 00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:00,480 Speaker 6: will now go towards fighting the environmental crisis and defending 185 00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:03,000 Speaker 6: nature instead of going into the pockets of somebody or 186 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,079 Speaker 6: sitting in a bank account or an investment or goodness 187 00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:08,520 Speaker 6: knows where. Since nineteen eighty five, the company's actually pledged 188 00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:11,200 Speaker 6: one percent of its annual sale to preserve and restore 189 00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:12,559 Speaker 6: the natural environment. 190 00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:14,800 Speaker 4: Which is big when it comes to a business because 191 00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:17,480 Speaker 4: it is hard to make profit in the best of times. 192 00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:20,040 Speaker 4: But to have pledged for so long one percent then 193 00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:22,000 Speaker 4: flipping around being like how jokes have it all? 194 00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:22,520 Speaker 5: Yeah. 195 00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:25,960 Speaker 6: In twenty eighteen, they actually changed their purpose statement to 196 00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:28,199 Speaker 6: We're in business to save our home planet. So it's 197 00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:31,079 Speaker 6: been something that's been really strongly aligned to their brand 198 00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:33,360 Speaker 6: for a long time. We've spoken before about greenwashing and 199 00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:36,520 Speaker 6: how brands often try to capitalize on the climate crisis 200 00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:39,000 Speaker 6: and use it for their own benefit. This is such 201 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:42,040 Speaker 6: a good case of someone talking the talk and walking 202 00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:45,160 Speaker 6: the walk in such an incredible way. So the company 203 00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:48,280 Speaker 6: is now owned by the Patagonia Purpose Trust and the 204 00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:51,760 Speaker 6: environmental nonprofit the hold Fast Collective. So the hold Fast 205 00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:53,840 Speaker 6: Collective now owned ninety eight percent of the company, but 206 00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:56,400 Speaker 6: they won't have any decision making authority. So firstly, really 207 00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:58,439 Speaker 6: interesting to know that you can kind of divvy up 208 00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:00,959 Speaker 6: and compartmentalize those things. The profit go is here, but 209 00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:02,199 Speaker 6: the decision making stas here. 210 00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:04,960 Speaker 4: With a business, yes, you can have shareholders in the business, 211 00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:07,559 Speaker 4: like for example, I'm a shareholder in Sheese on the Money, 212 00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:10,520 Speaker 4: but I'm also the director, and if I had another shareholder, 213 00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:12,079 Speaker 4: I might just be like, oh, you can come into 214 00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:13,800 Speaker 4: business with me, but you can't be a director, so 215 00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:16,079 Speaker 4: you can't make any decisions. You just own the company, 216 00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:17,880 Speaker 4: kind of like when you list a business on the 217 00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:20,640 Speaker 4: ASX or on any stock exchange. Really you just get 218 00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:22,559 Speaker 4: to buy in, but you don't have any rights over 219 00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:25,640 Speaker 4: how the company functions. Whereas sometimes people will come in 220 00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:27,240 Speaker 4: and be like, well, if I'm buying such a big piece, 221 00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:29,520 Speaker 4: I want to have a say. It just really depends 222 00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:31,120 Speaker 4: on I guess what you want and how you want 223 00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:33,760 Speaker 4: your business to function. So Obviously they've gone that way, 224 00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:36,200 Speaker 4: and they still maintain that two percent share because they 225 00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:38,400 Speaker 4: need to have some authority so that the business can 226 00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:41,440 Speaker 4: continue to run. However, I just think it's really interesting. 227 00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:42,280 Speaker 4: I think it's so cool. 228 00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:44,880 Speaker 6: So do we know if this now makes them like 229 00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:48,800 Speaker 6: a non for profit? No, so they're still operating as 230 00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:51,679 Speaker 6: a for profit business. They're just obviously donating that ninety 231 00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:54,680 Speaker 6: eight percent margin. And additionally, they're still going to donate 232 00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:57,960 Speaker 6: that one percent of their annual sales to grassroots environmental 233 00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:02,280 Speaker 6: nonprofits as well. So they're basically just saying take it all, like, 234 00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:04,520 Speaker 6: take all of us him off the top. Obviously, they'll 235 00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:07,560 Speaker 6: maintain a very small amount that will go to the family. 236 00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:09,520 Speaker 6: In terms of profit, they're paying their salaries all of 237 00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:12,280 Speaker 6: that stuff as normal. But they're donating what I would 238 00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:15,000 Speaker 6: imagine to be a lot huge amount of money. 239 00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,680 Speaker 4: Well, the businesses worth three billion dollars and get this 240 00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:21,160 Speaker 4: g real wholesome he said when he announced it, he 241 00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:23,720 Speaker 4: was like, I am declaring the Earth will be the 242 00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:27,599 Speaker 4: sole shareholder of my three billion dollar company, effective immediately. 243 00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:30,520 Speaker 5: What a wholesome story. 244 00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:32,720 Speaker 4: Though I know it happened a few weeks ago, but 245 00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:34,839 Speaker 4: I keep getting DMS about it, which is why we're 246 00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:37,040 Speaker 4: bringing it up. And I just think it's a really 247 00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:39,480 Speaker 4: cool story, especially because I feel like there's so many 248 00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:41,560 Speaker 4: negative stories around at the moment, and a lot of 249 00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:44,800 Speaker 4: us are following the Twitter saga with Elon Musk, and 250 00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:47,120 Speaker 4: to be honest, there's just not that many good news 251 00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:49,079 Speaker 4: stories around. I think this one is just a really 252 00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:50,800 Speaker 4: wholesome one that we should highlight. 253 00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:54,520 Speaker 2: Especially not about billionaires. Yeah, we love to see it. 254 00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:57,240 Speaker 6: If you do need some outdoorsy gear, I would suggest 255 00:11:57,320 --> 00:11:59,120 Speaker 6: how to go and is the best. They have really 256 00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:01,600 Speaker 6: genuinely good stuff, and I think knowing that your money 257 00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:04,160 Speaker 6: is going somewhere good is just the icing on the cake. 258 00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:07,880 Speaker 4: Absolute loves Patagonia like him and his mates like hiking, 259 00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:09,920 Speaker 4: so they're really into it. I've never given it a 260 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:10,480 Speaker 4: second thought. 261 00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:18,360 Speaker 6: Go no now though, Yeah now, Yvonne, Yvonne, sorry you tried. 262 00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:19,960 Speaker 5: It was worth it, you know what. I think you'll 263 00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:20,880 Speaker 5: be happy with whatever. 264 00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:24,839 Speaker 4: He doesn't really need the coverage A small podcast Austra Earlia. 265 00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:28,360 Speaker 5: All right, let's move on, George King.

Well, firstly, I love that she's like, 286 00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:32,600 Speaker 6: I want to just politely say, girl. 287 00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:35,559 Speaker 4: Your polite Jess, Like I like your all talk though, 288 00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:37,800 Speaker 4: but every time we've ever had a conversation, you're like 289 00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:42,640 Speaker 4: very very poised, very presentable, very kind, very well researched, 290 00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:43,600 Speaker 4: I like to. 291 00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:43,840 Speaker 5: Think, so. 292 00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:46,599 Speaker 6: I think the big thing here is firstly, good on you, 293 00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:49,960 Speaker 6: Queen for recognizing that you're being taken advantage of, because 294 00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:52,200 Speaker 6: I think it's important to recognize that that is exactly 295 00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:54,520 Speaker 6: what's happening, like things are being loaded onto your plate, 296 00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:58,120 Speaker 6: and you know, to an extent, I think there's reasonable 297 00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:01,080 Speaker 6: expansion of a role or reasonable growth because you would 298 00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:04,679 Speaker 6: always hope that your business is moving forward and adjusting. However, 299 00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:08,199 Speaker 6: if your salary is not adjusting in line with that, 300 00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:11,280 Speaker 6: or if your hours are not adjusting in line with that, 301 00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:13,600 Speaker 6: that is a bread flag. It is a crimson flag, 302 00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:17,280 Speaker 6: as Victoria divine. So I think it's really important to 303 00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:21,680 Speaker 6: have a conversation directly because more often than not, unfortunately 304 00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:24,560 Speaker 6: it's very rare for an employer to flag this with you. 305 00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:26,600 Speaker 6: It's going to be you having the conversation, and I 306 00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:30,760 Speaker 6: think it's about walking into that conversation prepared af. 307 00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:35,000 Speaker 4: So, be prepared, be prepared, Prepare to fail, prepare to fight. 308 00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:38,080 Speaker 5: Actually quite dramatic. I'm just going to check it out bye. 309 00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:40,560 Speaker 6: But I would say the best place to start with 310 00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:43,240 Speaker 6: something like this is tracking your hours. Now, some businesses 311 00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:45,440 Speaker 6: and industries do this already. If you work in law, 312 00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:48,600 Speaker 6: it's super common to track your billable hours, and you 313 00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:50,920 Speaker 6: know a lot of professional services are the same. But 314 00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:52,680 Speaker 6: there are apps that you can get for free that 315 00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:54,400 Speaker 6: will help you track your time. You can write it 316 00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:56,160 Speaker 6: in Microsoft Word, you can put it in an. 317 00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:59,560 Speaker 4: Excel spreadsheet, a notebook that you just keep on your desk. 318 00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:01,720 Speaker 4: Don't even have to be official. 319 00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:03,600 Speaker 6: No, anything that works, but you have to get yourself 320 00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:05,720 Speaker 6: in that habit. I think of tracking your time and 321 00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:08,600 Speaker 6: tracking how much time you're spending on certain tasks because 322 00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:10,640 Speaker 6: I think it's really important that when you have these 323 00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:13,840 Speaker 6: conversations you can come through with empirical data. It's one 324 00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:16,720 Speaker 6: thing to say I feel like I'm being really overworked 325 00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:18,360 Speaker 6: or I feel like I'm really exhausted, which is a 326 00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:20,880 Speaker 6: valid thing to say, but it's much harder to kind 327 00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:23,400 Speaker 6: of put a value on as opposed to saying, I 328 00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:26,760 Speaker 6: am spending fifteen hours a week on something that wasn't 329 00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:29,360 Speaker 6: even a part of my original role description, and that 330 00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:31,600 Speaker 6: is a very different conversation to have. And from there, 331 00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:34,400 Speaker 6: I guess it's about reflecting on whether do you want 332 00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:36,920 Speaker 6: to hand those tasks off to somebody else? Do you 333 00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:40,360 Speaker 6: want your compensation to adjust. Do you need to look 334 00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:42,200 Speaker 6: at splitting your role into two roles. 335 00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:43,080 Speaker 5: There are all of. 336 00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:44,760 Speaker 6: These different avenues that you can take, and I think 337 00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:47,600 Speaker 6: having clarity on that before you have the conversation with 338 00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:49,520 Speaker 6: your employer means that you can go into the room 339 00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:52,400 Speaker 6: and be really focused and say, this is what I'm doing, 340 00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:54,760 Speaker 6: this is the problem, this is the outcome that I 341 00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:57,480 Speaker 6: would like to see, And hopefully, if they're a good employer, 342 00:15:57,600 --> 00:15:59,520 Speaker 6: they will be open to having that conversation with you, 343 00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:04,280 Speaker 6: because if you are overworked or underpaid or unhappy, that's 344 00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:06,280 Speaker 6: going to be a problem for them ultimately one. 345 00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:08,720 Speaker 4: Hundred percent, and it impacts their productivity. And if they're 346 00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:10,520 Speaker 4: trying to get too many things from you, they're going 347 00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:12,800 Speaker 4: to get subparer of everything. So it's not a good 348 00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:16,680 Speaker 4: idea from an employer's perspective. Like I would love to 349 00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:19,440 Speaker 4: think that I'm attuned to this, but like, who knows, 350 00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:21,440 Speaker 4: I might be living under a rock. I think the 351 00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:25,840 Speaker 4: important thing is to approach these situations assuming that they 352 00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:29,120 Speaker 4: don't know what's happening. Because if you're approaching Go Georgia King, 353 00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:31,200 Speaker 4: you're taking advantage of me and doing this, this and 354 00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:34,040 Speaker 4: this it's quite accusatory, you're going to get their back up. 355 00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:37,320 Speaker 4: You're not going to leave that conversation in a positive space. 356 00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:38,280 Speaker 5: Whereas if you sit. 357 00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:40,320 Speaker 4: Down and be like, hey, i'd really love to discuss 358 00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:44,160 Speaker 4: my role, priorities and what's going on. Everything's been changing, 359 00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:46,240 Speaker 4: and like I'm so here for it, but you know 360 00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:48,680 Speaker 4: some things are falling to the wayside because of it. 361 00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:50,920 Speaker 4: That's going to be a firm or constructive way to 362 00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:54,080 Speaker 4: bring up the conversation. And in that conversation you can 363 00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:56,520 Speaker 4: be quite direct, but we need to make sure that 364 00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:59,920 Speaker 4: we step back from being accusatory unless your boss or 365 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:03,240 Speaker 4: manager or employer is actually taking the mickey, in which 366 00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:06,280 Speaker 4: case like slaym queen. But I think it's really important 367 00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:08,399 Speaker 4: to also go all right, like what's the best way 368 00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:11,679 Speaker 4: to approach this to get the outcome I desire? Because 369 00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:13,119 Speaker 4: the last thing you want to do is get your 370 00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:16,360 Speaker 4: boss off side or not come prepared or put yourself 371 00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:18,399 Speaker 4: in a position where you're not getting what you want. 372 00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:20,960 Speaker 4: So I think going to the conversation and being like, look, hey, 373 00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:23,200 Speaker 4: I'd love to have a conversation about what you want 374 00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:25,760 Speaker 4: me to prioritize, because unfortunately we're at a point where 375 00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:29,320 Speaker 4: I can't prioritize everything, So what's my number one priority? 376 00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:31,000 Speaker 4: And they might actually turn around and be like, oh, 377 00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:32,920 Speaker 4: your number one priority is this, and you go yes, 378 00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:35,320 Speaker 4: But that's not how I'm feeling. The team is feeling 379 00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:38,680 Speaker 4: like my priority when it comes to working every day 380 00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:41,080 Speaker 4: seems to be this because that's what's being put on 381 00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:43,119 Speaker 4: my plate the most that seems to be falling to 382 00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:45,800 Speaker 4: the wayside. How can we work towards making this my 383 00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:48,399 Speaker 4: priority again? And they are going to be fun or 384 00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:51,720 Speaker 4: receptive because you're showing quite a lot of initiative in 385 00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:54,600 Speaker 4: that conversation, So I think from my perspective that's where 386 00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:56,679 Speaker 4: I would come from. But gee, how would you approach 387 00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:57,360 Speaker 4: this situation? 388 00:17:57,600 --> 00:17:58,200 Speaker 3: Well, what I. 389 00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:00,399 Speaker 7: Wanted to ask before I tell you how I approach it, 390 00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:03,560 Speaker 7: which is probably the same way that Jess said. Gather 391 00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:05,800 Speaker 7: your evidence, know what you want to say, be direct, 392 00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:09,320 Speaker 7: be polite, go about it that way. But how long 393 00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:13,120 Speaker 7: do you guys think is appropriate before you should bring 394 00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:17,160 Speaker 7: up the conversation with your boss? So if someone's like, George, 395 00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:20,560 Speaker 7: I know it's not in your job description, but Janine's 396 00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:24,000 Speaker 7: just left. We need someone to write this extra copy. 397 00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:26,879 Speaker 7: That's usually outside of the realm of what I'm doing. 398 00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:28,720 Speaker 7: But they just need me to pick up the slack 399 00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:30,600 Speaker 7: a little bit for a few weeks whatever it may be. 400 00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:32,000 Speaker 5: Yea, how do you know. 401 00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:37,440 Speaker 7: If that then continues onto like months or is it just. 402 00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:38,960 Speaker 4: Kind of divisive? I don't know what Jess is going 403 00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:40,600 Speaker 4: to say, which is why I'm going first, Because I 404 00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:42,760 Speaker 4: just went first, I'd be like, yeah, totally same like 405 00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:45,399 Speaker 4: and not give my opinion. I'm finding that there's a 406 00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:47,800 Speaker 4: lot of TikTok content in the moment about this, and 407 00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:50,200 Speaker 4: it's about being really aggressive with your employer and really 408 00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:52,359 Speaker 4: pushing back and being like, no, if Jeanine's leaving, you 409 00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:54,280 Speaker 4: need to pay me for Jeanine's role. And I just 410 00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:56,919 Speaker 4: I feel like there's some kind of balance when it 411 00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:59,399 Speaker 4: comes to stuff like that, like, yeah, cool, it's not 412 00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:02,159 Speaker 4: fair to expect you to go above and beyond, to 413 00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:05,160 Speaker 4: work above and beyond your actual capacity for a sustained 414 00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:08,000 Speaker 4: period of time. But I also think that if I'm like, oh, gee, 415 00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:10,400 Speaker 4: could you just write this Jeanine's way, yeah, no worries 416 00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:14,080 Speaker 4: like there is usually in an employment contract some level 417 00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:16,680 Speaker 4: of flexibility, Like in every employment contract I've got, it's 418 00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:18,879 Speaker 4: obviously got your role description and then it says and 419 00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:22,119 Speaker 4: any other task deemed appropriate by the director, which means, 420 00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:24,159 Speaker 4: if I tell you to do it, can you please 421 00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:26,760 Speaker 4: give me a hand? And in a small business that 422 00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:29,280 Speaker 4: is really important because it's kind of like, well, I 423 00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:31,639 Speaker 4: don't have all hands on deck. And I know that 424 00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:34,239 Speaker 4: people who work for small businesses are usually a bit 425 00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:36,280 Speaker 4: different to people who really want to work in corporate 426 00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:39,280 Speaker 4: and that's fine. You do what feels right to you. 427 00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:41,679 Speaker 4: But I think if you feel like you're having the 428 00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:44,479 Speaker 4: mickey taken out of you, I would be questioning it 429 00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:47,080 Speaker 4: or even going, hey, no worries, I can take Janine's work. 430 00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:49,240 Speaker 4: What would you like me to push off my plate 431 00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:51,520 Speaker 4: so that I can fit that on? So it might 432 00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:53,360 Speaker 4: not be a no, I'm not doing it. It might 433 00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:55,639 Speaker 4: be a no, worries, Jill, I will do that, But 434 00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:58,280 Speaker 4: that will mean that something else needs to be yeeded. 435 00:19:58,440 --> 00:19:59,240 Speaker 5: What is it going to be? 436 00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:01,640 Speaker 4: And then they might go, oh, well George, I can't 437 00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:03,320 Speaker 4: and you go, well, I just don't have capacity. 438 00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:04,040 Speaker 5: Is that okay? 439 00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:06,720 Speaker 4: And I think it's an ongoing conversation, But also I 440 00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:08,760 Speaker 4: think you need to just use your initiative, Like if 441 00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:11,600 Speaker 4: you're like, yeah, no worries. But also if I knew 442 00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:14,000 Speaker 4: that they weren't planning on replacing Jeanine and they're like, oh, 443 00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:15,679 Speaker 4: just take it for a few weeks, and you're loky, like, 444 00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:18,040 Speaker 4: this isn't gonna be a few weeks. Yeah, I would 445 00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:20,800 Speaker 4: be having a bigger conversation, Jess. Make me look like 446 00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:22,200 Speaker 4: a bad perpose, No, not all. 447 00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:25,200 Speaker 6: I think the soft touch that you're saying about, like 448 00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:28,600 Speaker 6: having an initial gentle conversation is super relevant. The other 449 00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:30,240 Speaker 6: thing that I would flag for our listener is if 450 00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:32,320 Speaker 6: you are going into bat for this big convo, I 451 00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:35,359 Speaker 6: would say, set up a time specifically to do it. 452 00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:37,680 Speaker 6: Don't be having this conversation when you're going to run 453 00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:40,040 Speaker 6: an errand like this is a tea room or something. Yeah, 454 00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:42,800 Speaker 6: this is a specific, dedicated conversation. I think for me, 455 00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:46,880 Speaker 6: you can't really put a timeframe on it because there's 456 00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:49,960 Speaker 6: a big difference, as you said, ved between something has 457 00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:52,680 Speaker 6: changed and we need to be reactive and that does 458 00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:56,240 Speaker 6: require a level of flexibility as opposed to something is 459 00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:59,840 Speaker 6: becoming an ongoing addition to your role. Yeah, and that 460 00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:03,440 Speaker 6: when it's problematic for me, I would say personally, anything 461 00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:06,480 Speaker 6: above and beyond kind of four to six weeks. I 462 00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:08,320 Speaker 6: think that's when you're kind of seeing how it. Four 463 00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:11,440 Speaker 6: to six weeks, in my mind is generally enough time 464 00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:14,400 Speaker 6: that if something has happened, I think that's a reasonable 465 00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:17,199 Speaker 6: amount of time for your management or your company, or 466 00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:21,080 Speaker 6: whatever the case may be, to have had the problem 467 00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:22,880 Speaker 6: come to them, sit with it for a little bit, 468 00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:25,440 Speaker 6: and work towards a resolution. And at the very least 469 00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:27,719 Speaker 6: you would hope that a conversation had been had around 470 00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:31,120 Speaker 6: we know Janine's left, We've just started the hiring process, 471 00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:32,879 Speaker 6: so just so you know, we should have someone in 472 00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:35,679 Speaker 6: and then two or three weeks, in which case I go, okay, 473 00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:39,080 Speaker 6: stick it out. If you can have those conversations around 474 00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:41,840 Speaker 6: what can I drop from my workload to prioritize other things. 475 00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:45,800 Speaker 6: If it's been four to six weeks and things have 476 00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:47,960 Speaker 6: just been added and added and then not addressed, and 477 00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:50,280 Speaker 6: it's been like, oh, well you'll fine, you're coping. 478 00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:52,280 Speaker 4: You're coping, why would we get Janine back? Yeah, I 479 00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:54,320 Speaker 4: don't need to fill a role. Look out, well gee's doing. 480 00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:56,879 Speaker 6: That's when I would be looking at booking in a conversation, 481 00:21:57,240 --> 00:22:00,119 Speaker 6: having a soft touch point first and saying hey, like 482 00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:02,800 Speaker 6: I'm feeling really overwhelmed or I really think it's important 483 00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:05,640 Speaker 6: that we split this back out because it's a completely 484 00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:08,520 Speaker 6: different department. I'm, you know, a content person and I'm 485 00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:10,840 Speaker 6: doing law or like probably not. 486 00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:12,640 Speaker 5: Like you've got something. 487 00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:14,639 Speaker 4: This is what happens when you put just under pressure 488 00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:17,080 Speaker 4: just like spits out stuff that makes no sense to it. 489 00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:19,280 Speaker 6: I'm doing content and I'm doing accounting. Do you know 490 00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:21,119 Speaker 6: what I mean?
