  Speaker 1: Good morning, Emma.
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: Hey, how are you good?
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: What's up?
• 0:04
  Speaker 3: So I just found out, uh recently though one of
• 0:08
  Speaker 3: my coworkers makes more money than I do and we
• 0:11
  Speaker 3: do the exact same job, and I just can't get
• 0:13
  Speaker 3: over it. I'm really fired up about it.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: Have they been there longer than you?
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: By like they were they were kind of hiring a
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: couple people at the same time, So I think she's
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: only been there for like a week more than me.
• 0:27
  Speaker 4: So what's the why do you think that she's getting
• 0:29
  Speaker 4: more money than you? If it was, like, if I'm
• 0:31
  Speaker 4: assuming you guys do like you have the same job title,
• 0:33
  Speaker 4: you have the same day to day tasks.
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we have the same responsibilities, you know, the same
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: experience level, and our performance reviews are pretty much the
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: same to me. And this might sound petty, but like
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: the only real difference is that she is objectively like
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: prettier than me.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: Oh are you a model?
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: She might be. I mean, I hate that I even
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: cross my mind, but like, once she told me how
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: much she was making I just couldn't ignore it. I
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: was like, maybe it is this it because there's like
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: nothing else that could make that make sense to me.
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: I work just as hard if not harder.
• 1:16
  Speaker 5: So what do you do with that information? Like in
• 1:18
  Speaker 5: that position, do you want to up her and then
• 1:22
  Speaker 5: go because like I don't think you can actually go
• 1:24
  Speaker 5: to a boss and say, I know this person makes
• 1:27
  Speaker 5: more than me. Why am I not making that? Because
• 1:28
  Speaker 5: I don't think that. I don't think that ends in
• 1:30
  Speaker 5: what you want it to end.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: It depends you can do that.
• 1:32
  Speaker 6: We can call your boss and ask if you want,
• 1:34
  Speaker 6: we could do that live on the radio if you
• 1:39
  Speaker 6: would lose her, you know, as you don't know, you
• 1:41
  Speaker 6: don't know if this woman is saying that telling the
• 1:43
  Speaker 6: truth too.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: This woman could be getting in her head.
• 1:45
  Speaker 6: Can if she is, it's working, it's working, it's working
• 1:48
  Speaker 6: making you spiral out of control.
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: I mean, this is like, I mean, flat out pretty privilege.
• 1:54
  Speaker 6: If that's the case, right, Or it could be that
• 1:57
  Speaker 6: the other person got hired a week before you, budgets
• 2:00
  Speaker 6: were different.
• 2:00
  Speaker 5: How much more she's making that happens, Yeah, you know
• 2:04
  Speaker 5: how much.
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: More ten dollars an hour more than I?
• 2:08
  Speaker 5: Oh yeah, well you're saying that negotiation she just killed it.
• 2:13
  Speaker 6: Or there's something you're not telling us either. I mean,
• 2:15
  Speaker 6: that's a big discrepancy for the same job. It can't
• 2:17
  Speaker 6: be pretty privileged. There's something that has to do with
• 2:19
  Speaker 6: maybe maybe she has a different degree than you.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: Maybe she was an eagle scout, or she came.
• 2:24
  Speaker 5: From a position and they like poached her from.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: It a military background.
• 2:30
  Speaker 6: There's something that's there that's added to her resume that
• 2:33
  Speaker 6: would give her an extra ten dollars.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: You know, there's certain.
• 2:35
  Speaker 6: Credit, Like I know people in the fitness world that
• 2:38
  Speaker 6: are like trainers, and I know a trainer that's a
• 2:41
  Speaker 6: much better trainer than another trainer, but the other trainer
• 2:44
  Speaker 6: has an extra credential and makes more money. So there
• 2:47
  Speaker 6: could be something like that that you're not aware of it,
• 2:49
  Speaker 6: and when you bring it up to your boss, he
• 2:51
  Speaker 6: might go, well, Emma, let me tell you something. Francine
• 2:53
  Speaker 6: has the CRMC just Certified Radio Marketing Consultant and.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: You are not a CMRC degree. Is deal? My wife
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: had one of those and I did not.
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: It's just it's it kind of sucks because like I
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: I've tried everything I like, I say late, and I
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: feel like I'm carrying a lot of projects and it
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: just doesn't feel like the workload is shared. So it
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: just it just feels it's unfair. And I'm like kind
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: of questioning everything, and I don't want to like sound
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: bitter about it, but I just kind of like you
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: start making the checklist of like what am I doing?
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: What is she doing? How is this different? And what's
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: going on?
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: And then all you can come up with is she's
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: pretty goer than you.
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: I mean again, maybe it's petty, but it's the only
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: thing that I can that I can see. And I'm like,
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: maybe it's like my own self to out, but it's
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: that's all she's got over me.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: That's all right, secrets says over us. That works.
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: I do feel maybe if there's an opportunity for you
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: to go in and negotiate your pay, you should do it.
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: But if you feel like you're undervalued where you're working,
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: maybe it's time to start exploring other options too.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: That's true.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: That's true. You only get paid if somebody else want you,
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: you know.
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, because I really haven't brought it up to my
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: boss like too much. I've kind of like in passing.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: Just been like like, oh, you know, like I'll like
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: i'll stay late, or like I've just made it known
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: that like I'll do like extra work, and it just
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: hasn't been like released in so I guess, yeah, like
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: maybe bringing it.
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: Up and and seeing like what they say, and then
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: if it's like, no, we're not going to pay you
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: more when I know that they can, then it's like,
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: then that's that's kind of real quick.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: And then we'll wrap this up.
• 4:33
  Speaker 6: In my opinion, if you bring it up to your boss,
• 4:37
  Speaker 6: don't bring up the other person.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: You just bring up that you need more money totally.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: You want your values more.
• 4:42
  Speaker 6: If you bring up somebody else, you're comparing yourself to
• 4:44
  Speaker 6: somebody else, and then it's like you don't know what, Yeah,
• 4:47
  Speaker 6: you don't. You want to make it about your talents, especially.
• 4:50
  Speaker 5: If she is lying, right, well, we can actually confirm no,
• 4:53
  Speaker 5: that's not the case. I already make more money than
• 4:55
  Speaker 5: her and she's jealous, right.
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: And you need to mind your business.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, I'm a good luck. Let us know what happened.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: Thanks for calling in.
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: Thank you
