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.More about KimberlyKIMBERLY NGUYỄN, a Vietnamese-American poet and author of "ghosts in the stalks" and "Here I Am Burn Me," resides in New York City, originally hailing from Omaha, Nebraska.

Workplace Weekly is back in session! Kicking off, reflect briefly on a recent controversy in Denmark's labor landscape. We discuss the accusations against a prominent union boss who is facing allegations of inappropriate conduct and the potential (lack of) ramifications for the union and the broader labor movement in Denmark, exploring the challenges of maintaining integrity and trust within organisational leadership. Fanny and Kate dive into the NLRB's recent decision that upholds employees' rights to discuss their former employers regardless of receiving severance. We got our H&H Legal Eagle to Mansplain the decision too, in case you want to know more. We explore the potential impact of this decision on the future of employee rights and workplace transparency. Next on the agenda, the hosts turn their attention to a highly anticipated moment: Howard Schultz facing Congress to answer questions about Starbucks and its alleged union-busting tactics. We play yet another round of "Who Wants To Be...," pitting companies against an AI to determine who can demonstrate allyship most effectively.Production CreditsWorkplace Weekly was produced by Kate Bailey (H&H Instagram / H&H Twitter) and Fanny Wandel (Twitter) for Hand & Heart Media, the publishing arm of Hand & Heart GmbH.

Welcome to another episode of "Workplace Weekly" with your hosts, Fanny and Kate. It’s your usual rollercoaster of overconfident commentary about workplace issues, and a shitpost of a good time. We're excited to announce our upcoming podcast, "Right the Ship," where we'll be diving into the story of a federal whistleblower. We're also introducing a new game show segment called "Who Wants to Be A Forgiven," where we'll be guessing which apology statement was made by a real CEO and which was generated by AI. It's sure to be a hit!We get down and dirty with parasocial relationships and the pressure they put on public figures. We're looking at you, Pedro Pascal. But it's not just celebrities who face this issue - it's a problem in the workplace too. Objectification and harassment are serious issues that need to be addressed. Finally, our Workplace Savage discusses imposter syndrome and how it's connected to political and power dynamics in the workplace.******************************************************************************************************************************************************************Production CreditsWorkplace Weekly****************************************************************************************************************************************************************** was produced by Kate Bailey (H&H Instagram / H&H Twitter) and Fanny Wandel (Twitter) for Hand & Heart Media, the publishing arm of Hand & Heart GmbH.

DescriptionFor Episode Four of Workplace Weekly, Kate Bailey and Fanny Wandel, bring you Part Two of our interview with Christina Ro-Connolly (whom, we shamelessly stan). Tina addresses some of the disadvantages of allegations regarding workplaves being made publicly and put thrust under a media spotlight. We discuss being committed to the neutral rule, and how Tina & OIG Law incorporates that into practice while also seeking to build healthier relationships with clients and helping them to move forward past the conflict. We asked about materials Tina & OIG have developed around the role race can play in investigations, really shining an exemplary light on OIG efforts to put DE&I into all element of practice for workplace investigators and attorneys. Tina addresses the “window dressing” element clients can sometimes want, and how to navigate this, while still putting values first.Christina (Tina) Ro-Connelly is a Partner with Oppenheimer Investigations Group LLP (follow OIG on Instagram!). She has over a decade of labor and employment law experience.CreditsWorkplace Weekly was produced by Kate Bailey (H&H Instagram / H&H Twitter) and Fanny Wandel (Twitter) for Hand & Heart Media, the publishing arm of Hand & Heart GmbH.
