In this episode of Workplace Weirdness, Maya Kadar Kovalsky is joined by Randi Braun, CEO of Something Major and author of Something Major: The New Playbook for Women at Work, for a candid conversation about power, parenthood, and inequity at work.
From salary parity and exploitative hiring practices to emotionally manipulative managers and the motherhood penalty, this episode tackles the real situations women face every day, and what to do when your workplace fails you.
We discuss:
• Why working moms hold themselves to stricter professionalism
• The difference between guilt and fear of other people’s opinions (FOPO)
• How companies exploit free labor during recruitment
• How “flexibility” and “feedback” are often used as control
• The hidden cost of salary inequity and being accidentally CC’d on the truth
This is an honest, practical and sometimes weird conversation about navigating work without losing your integrity or yourself.
