But if that's the way the company needs to make more money, it might not be your department, but do you want that raise or not? And also, by the way, getting more insight into how other departments work might allow you to say, I actually want to move into that department. Or now I'm, you know, even more valuable person here or for another job. You've hired people. Have people used these tactics?

I don't have any employees. I literally cannot afford anybody because I'm ladies get paid and I would have to pay them a top fricking dollar and I'm not making enough. So, and the other crappy thing about what I do is I have so many women saying I'd like to volunteer. I'm like, oh, but I can't do that. But here's what I've learned. Value exchange. And it's a real thing.

Though you have to obviously think for yourself, okay, I might not be getting paid But is this thing that they're giving me a barter? Right. So if the person's like, I'm trying to pivot into a new industry. Listen, I still say no to everybody because I'm just too nervous. I don't know. I feel like I have to be held to a really high standard here.

And there's been lots of other women's organizations that have like gone down in flames. Every day I'm like, am I going to be canceled? And then I think no, because I literally don't. let anybody work for free. And I don't have anybody who works for me at all. I don't have the budget or the bandwidth to be the wonderful employer that I think people should have, which keeps me small.

How did you start Ladies Get Paid? Ooh, I mean, Ladies Get Paid, it started with a sexist experience. I was at this conference with my coworkers, and a man asked me whose wife I was. And certainly not his. I was there for work. And for whatever reason, that sexist comment unlocked everything for me. It's not like I hadn't experienced stuff like this before.

I think I just had brushed under the rug. I saw the rest of that conference through an entirely different lens, noticing how I was frequently in a group and a man would not look at me or shake my hand. and would speak to the men. And I remember going into the women's restroom and seeing all these women trading business cards and like lipstick and makeup tips.
