The Curve

Why Did It Take Women To Fix The Workplace?

16 Nov 2025

Description

This week’s Curve Weekly starts with Soph’s financial dilemma of the month - a perfect storm of overspending, £5 left in the bank, and a 4% phone battery in Mayfair. Then, just as we got rolling, Vic’s mic cut out (classic), so yes… this is take two. Once the tech drama settled, Vic breaks down why the market is down 2%, what’s spooking investors, and how the AI bubble ties into it. We also dive into that viral “Did women ruin the workplace?” headline and unpack why the real problem is a system that was never built for women to thrive. Then it’s onto Trump threatening to sue the BBC for $1B - what happened, why it matters, and why the media world is slightly sweating. And finally, we look at what Brits are really using ChatGPT for… and let’s just say the answer might surprise you.WTF does that mean? A guide to all the jargony bits:Market Drop – When the stock market has a tiny sulk.AI Bubble – When AI stocks get too hyped.Diversification – Don’t put all your money eggs in one basket.S&P 500 – The 500 biggest US companies in one group.CapEx – Big-ticket spending by companies.Government Shutdown – When the US government can’t agree and… stops.The Fed – The US interest-rate boss.Defamation – Saying something untrue and getting sued for it.Algorithm – The puppet master deciding what you see online.50:30:20 Rule – A simple budget split: needs, wants, investing.Credits:Hosts: Victoria Harris & Sophie HallwrightProducer & Editor: Emily RigbySocial & Digital Manager: Lucy Munro⁠⁠Leave us a message on The Curve Hotline 💌☎️⁠⁠For more from The Curve:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Investing Club⁠⁠⁠⁠Website⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Newsletter⁠⁠(00:00:00) Coming Up In Todays Episode… (00:01:03) Soph’s Financial Dilemma (00:07:09) The Market Is Down 2% (00:15:46) Did Women Ruin The Workplace?
