    #100 –We Couldn’t Afford to Live Either

    This week, we’re talking about livable wages, taxes, Indianapolis drivers, and AI, the real-life money stress nobody prepares you for: somebody said it’s your employer’s job to make sure you have a livable wage, Jocelyn and Jade both disagree, and then both admit they’ve been the woman who couldn’t afford it. Jocelyn found another way to get more money, and Jade says it was her, and she got out of it. It’s episode 100, they said they’d do something big, life been lifin’, so they got on the soapbox instead: roundabouts, potholes, the Flock camera officers, a state tax audit, and why AI is not your friend. Whether you’re navigating a paycheck that doesn’t stretch, a tax letter you didn’t deserve, or a roundabout nobody knows how to use, this episode will feel like sitting with two friends who truly get it. New episodes every Wednesday. Follow the podcast everywhere you listen. Show NotesEpisode 100: Jocelyn says they planned something big, life been lifin’, and they’re taking celebration ideasJocelyn on the peanut butter and chili comments: we never said you were disgusting, people are hearing with emotions and not wordsJocelyn likes peanut butter chocolate milk and that’s her business. Jade: I’ll applaud you from afarFive Indianapolis officers charged with misusing Flock cameras. Jocelyn: why are we protecting their identities?Jade: if the public doesn’t have access, who did y’all think was going to abuse it?Jocelyn: they your ex for a reason. Leave them in the pastJocelyn is a left lane driver. Jade: this is Indiana, we drive whatever the spirit leads us toJocelyn: put your phone down at the light. Jade: you the line leaderJocelyn: if Indianapolis keeps building roundabouts, everybody should take the driver test againJade: 96th and Allisonville is Crash City, and new roundabouts keep going up while the potholes stayJocelyn on the driver who stopped inside a roundabout while her windows were downJade: this is not the time to be a good Samaritan. Either do it or don’tJade’s first hires with real money: a cleaner, a cook, and a chauffeur. Jocelyn would still cook, and she meal preps every SundaySomebody said a livable wage is your employer’s job. Jocelyn: they set the rate off what the business can afford, and you’re not part of that equationJade: the job’s job is to pay you what they agreed to. Jocelyn: you can’t get mad about something you acceptedJocelyn: I’ve been the person who couldn’t afford it, and I found another way to get more money. Jade: it was me, I was her, I got out of itJade: it’s easy to say what you’d do when you’re the receiver. How about the giver?Jade wants to stop paying taxes.

    #99 – If It’s Gonna Hurt My Feelings, I’m Not Asking

    This week, we’re talking about promotions, honest feedback at work, and the questions you shouldn’t ask if you can’t take the answer: a coworker asked Jocelyn whether she’d be considered for manager, and Jocelyn, who manages a team, told her no and gave her two reasons. We also get into whether the employee who says that’s not my job still deserves a raise, why promotions should never go by seniority, and Jade’s ruling on asking a follow-up when your feelings are already hurt. Then the peanut butter and chili fallout: the clip pulled 31,000 views and almost 2,000 comments, Indiana said not my Indiana, and Jade says Indiana is a real yet fictitious place. Whether you’re navigating a promotion you didn’t get, a question you wish you hadn’t asked, or a food debate you didn’t start, this episode will feel like sitting with two friends who truly get it. New episodes every Wednesday. Follow the podcast everywhere you listen. Acast Show NotesThat’s not my job: Jocelyn says if they’re meeting expectations, they still get the raiseJocelyn: read your job description. And other duties as assigned means anything is your job now. Jade: job hazardJade: I don’t wanna be a culture fit, I wanna fit the job. Jocelyn: the culture at work is a facade anywayJade: my mom always said how people feel about you ain’t none of your businessJocelyn: promotions should never go by seniority. Promote the girl who’s been here two years working circles around everybodyAsk Jocelyn a question at your own risk. Do you want the truth, or do you want confirming information?Jocelyn: I think through how I’ll feel about the answer before I ask. If my feelings would be hurt, I’m not askingA coworker asked Jocelyn if she’d be considered for manager. Jocelyn told her no: you don’t advocate for yourself, and you only do your jobJade: if your feelings already hurt, why you ask a follow-up?Jocelyn: take a three-hour process down to one, and now you’re a promotion candidateJade: you care enough to improve things. You wanna leadJocelyn: what did you do outside your job description that told them you were ready? Your boss is not a mind readerJade: been here 20 years doing subpar work? So what. Jocelyn: what value are you adding?Jocelyn read the comments: just about every Black person said no, and a lot of white people said it’s amazingSchool lunch: Jade’s Indiana cafeteria had smothered pork chops. Jocelyn’s Chicago one had Super DonutsJocelyn’s poll flipped from 60 percent crazy work to 58 percent yesJade wants to try the cinnamon roll in the chili. The comments said don’t lie on usJocelyn: Indiana is not the Midwest. We’re closer to Virginia than Wyoming.

    #98 – Iced Coffee at the Interview? Girl, Leave It in the Car

    This week, we’re talking about the iced coffee job interview debate, adult friendship, and what people hear versus what you actually said: Jocelyn hires people, and between two equal candidates she is picking the one who did not bring the iced coffee, Jade wants to know how serious you take yourself if you did, and neither of them thinks it was ever about the coffee. We also get into whether your friends are supposed to be your fans, the team building where Jocelyn’s coworkers almost outed the podcast, the resumes that list SQL and Python until you ask one question, Jocelyn’s case for ending the handshake, the servers clip that turned into a fight about something neither of them said, and the stereotypes about Black women that neither of them fits. Whether you’re navigating a job interview, friends who don’t show up for you, or a comment section that heard what it wanted to hear, this episode will feel like sitting with two friends who truly get it. New episodes every Wednesday. Follow the podcast everywhere you listen.

Jade’s wish: that COVID had ended the handshake for goodJade: we got bigger fish to fry than the iced coffeeThe HR rep who started it, and what frowned upon actually meansJocelyn: I’m in the business of letting full-grown adults learn their own lessonsJocelyn: no sleeve, sweating on the desk, shaking it every sip. That’s a self-awareness issueNeither of them works for a Fortune 500What we said versus what people heard: the servers clip, and what they actually said about finding another jobWe said we tip. You still have to earn itTipping is rooted in racism, and that is a different conversation than the one they were havingJade: it’s called A Girl’s Perspective, not A Girl’s FactsJade: who are you that we gotta lie about tipping? Believe what you wanna believe, booJade: I’m not giving you $30 because you said hello. My food is coldJocelyn is active in the comments, and the loudest people never have a rebuttalJocelyn: you’re not going off what you heard, you’re going off what you feltThe clip that hit 400,000 views, and the comments that assigned a race to a story that never mentioned oneJocelyn’s pet peeve: taking a stereotype and spreading it. It does not make you look educatedJade: trifling is trifling. Every group does itJade: the comments people leave on our content hurt my heartJocelyn babysat for her brother for an hour or two. Not a trip to MiamiMen use kids as weapons too, and nobody brings that upJocelyn: blanket something on me because of the color of my skin and I’m triggered, because I try hard not to fit the stereotypesBaby mama drama, cheating, welfare: every community has it, and only one gets the labelJade: when we read it, I never thought about race. I thought, she triflingJocelyn has not dealt with much outright racism, with one exception she tellsJade has. They followed her around with it at a job, lied on her, and reported her to HRJocelyn: don’t like me because of my skin? Fine. Leave me alone. Jade: they don’t. They’re obsessed with youPositive stereotypes for Black people, and Jade’s problem with “if you’re lost, find a Black woman”Jade hates the one about all Black women being able to cook.
