On the last episode of Workplace Weekly, we introduced the story of Kimberly Nguyen. Kimberly's tweet about discovering her job being advertised with a higher salary range than her current pay sparked a conversation on pay transparency, and a little media shitstorm. She didn't expect the tweet to go viral, but it did, so here we are - and this is part two of our conversation. Kimberly’s story and capacity to articulate the core systemic issues of the matter speak directly to the frustration many contractors/employees face when it comes the lack of fair compensation and the runaround that often comes with having such matters addresses. Kimberly and Kate discuss the cultural impact of this in the workplace, but also, the status quo of employment across the board. Brief digressions include the WGA and SAG-AFTA strikes, and how we can make the word “union” not sound so dirty to companies. Kimberly's advocacy for herself and others was a lightening rod for an issue that ferments under the surface of society every day.

This story is a doozy, gang! Imagine, you see your very own job advertised… with a substantially higher salary 🤔 You decide to share an offhand Tweet about the matter, it goes viral and the media picks up the story 👀 🥴 Imagine no more. That’s what happened to Kimberly Nguyen, our guest on this episode of Workplace Worldwide. Kimberly’s tweet sparked a robust online discussion about Pay Transparency, and a flurry of media coverage. As we discuss it all with Kimberly, from chaotic recruiting processes to the constant runaround on fair compensation, her experience is a solemn reminder of the systemic issues many face when it comes to pay equity in the workplace.

This week, we bring you part two of our interview with Wilma De Soto, who discusses her perspectives and experiences on diversity, equity and inclusion as an advocate and activist, and the impacts of systemic failings of DE&I initiatives over decades — particularly on Black people in the United States. The conversation is robust and direct, and something we think any person interested in race, discrimination and our working lives, should hear.
