00:00:00.240 okay so i'm gonna go back to the original topic um okay um
00:00:12.560 um okay have you guys seen any procedures or policies put in place to put more female
00:00:18.640 leadership in place where you work i had to think about it and i was like oh well at my workplace
00:00:28.240 i'm a senior waitress which is like head wait waitress or waiter in in the front house of
00:00:33.680 front of house there's other women that also um have well there's another lady should i say that
00:00:38.800 is also a head waitress as well but apart from that it's males and just males and there's only
00:00:43.520 other one female manager and i believe that she's being combated by two other males so are you even
00:00:47.840 relevant we're not sure but um i just feel like women are given are being given more um positions
00:00:56.320 but i'll be being trusted with the positions that were being given that's the problem imagine giving
00:01:00.000 me a job and you've employed me knowing that this is the um this is my experience and then still
00:01:06.640 somehow questioning my experience it's like do you not know what you employed me for did they employ
00:01:11.440 you or whoever it was because they were a woman or because they were qualified um i feel like they
00:01:15.920 employed employed me myself because they needed someone to be like of that level of you know
00:01:21.200 experience and caliber in their um establishment and they had a lot of male counterparts already
00:01:26.400 so they wanted to even out and obviously i'm black and you know the hierarchy you have to have like
00:01:31.360 gender fluid so was it to fill a quota i thought yeah there was making you know filling out the stuff
00:01:36.240 but at the same time they needed it to be in the hierarchy they already had a male one so it was like
00:01:41.040 to even out but like i said them giving me that position for me it felt like okay they're trying
00:01:46.400 to make it more fluid to the other ladies there that okay you know it's possible because i feel
00:01:50.880 like before they employed me there was someone that they could have given it like you know pay rise
00:01:54.480 they could have gave them a you know a little job rise whatever but they didn't they put a new
00:01:58.160 person there so at times yeah i feel like women are being given extra you know position but just i'll
00:02:04.720 be being trusted with the position that we've been given okay what about you um they want to hear you
00:02:10.800 speak um what was the question again um oh have there were there any policies put into place to
00:02:16.160 put women in more leadership positions where you work um the last job that i had like actual nine
00:02:22.080 to five um one girl wanted to go as a business manager but they made her work for it for about
00:02:30.000 two years and they kept giving it to other men while she was waiting for it so i feel like it's less
00:02:37.600 chance that you're going to get a higher position as a woman because of the things that we discussed
00:02:43.120 so no policies at your work i'm glad that sounds like there weren't any where i was no and there
00:02:48.800 was okay it was a male-dominated industry it's not really not really applied to me because i work for
00:02:54.400 myself and i've only worked for the one woman so i'm not sure but cleo i'm sure has i mean in short yes
00:03:02.240 i feel very blessed where i work they do open it up for different creeds colors ages demographics and they
00:03:10.240 like to have a 50 50 gender split within our meetings and leadership and they try to um okay
00:03:14.880 they try to make it 50 50 okay go ahead yeah i think her mic i think is muted blessing
00:03:24.080 yep on okay i think with my previous one it's it was a thing where like in meetings we did talk a lot
00:03:31.680 about okay when the next event happens we need more female leaders to speak up and like kind of
00:03:39.840 take control a bit more so it's not as male dominated so yeah i think it's getting a bit
00:03:43.680 more evened out okay um so what they were specifically trying to get women in yeah so in a lot of the
00:03:50.000 meetings they would say yeah we want a lot more females to speak up like when we do events and whatnot
00:03:54.240 not okay okay um but let's start on that side or um china go and then anywhere you've worked have they
00:04:02.000 tried to put policies in place to get more women yeah in the past i've um because yeah in the film
00:04:08.560 and security industry they've tried to get women into more um insecurity yeah in the film because
00:04:15.040 not represented enough you need to have a certain amount of women women there yeah but it's not yeah
00:04:20.960 yeah yeah yeah yeah i have a i have a friend yeah yeah yeah yeah men can't men can't search women
00:04:26.640 so obviously women obviously like if there's a scenario in a woman's toilet or something like that you
00:04:30.400 need you need to have women's security yeah it doesn't mean they're going to do the same thing that
00:04:33.520 men are going to do you'll be surprised oh you're right just search okay yeah yeah especially that
00:04:40.160 okay um go ahead um like i said i'm not that experienced in like the working industry but it's always been
00:04:45.520 50 50 50 okay there's always women and men so okay are there any policies in place i've never been
00:04:52.000 aware i've heard that there are some but i've never been aware okay yeah i'm very limited also okay
00:04:58.480 any policies that were put in place policies must be invisible i ain't seen them i ain't seen them
00:05:03.200 apparently i don't know maybe they're in the back i ain't seen them
00:05:06.080 um go ahead um in my industry of work um they mainly employ or women mainly apply for like go
00:05:19.760 forward for those roles so if anything it's about equality and diversity so evening out and looking
00:05:25.040 for men potentially okay um because there are policies put into place to put women in the leadership
00:05:33.280 can we say there's anything holding women back from doing any job in 2022 no okay no kids
00:05:43.920 okay what about you guys who said yeah i said yeah but i would say i'm personal life choices i feel
00:05:49.120 like what you want to do in your life and where you want to go is what you will fluctuate more towards
00:05:54.080 so some women don't have much ambition not to say that you know anyone's ambition is but some people
00:05:58.560 just want to do the mainstream they don't want to exert themselves further or broaden the horizon
00:06:03.840 that's what i feel okay go ahead you too yeah i think mostly women don't really want to do those
00:06:11.680 roles because this is like generalized because they're harder jobs and women prefer the easier life
00:06:22.000 what was the question again exactly sorry can we say that women are held back from doing any job in 2022
00:06:29.360 when there's specific policies to help women and there's nothing stopping us from applying from any
00:06:34.160 job i was just going to say i think if the only thing nowadays especially in like the western world
00:06:39.200 the only thing that hold women back is themselves maybe you know whatever their home life is or you
00:06:44.720 know whatever limiting beliefs they have around having such a high-paid job
00:06:51.120 yeah i i've always done what i wanted in my career i've always ever turned every no into a yes
00:06:58.240 so i take it as a challenge personally if they tell me no then i'm like watch me yeah great
00:07:03.280 yeah um i second real girl i kind of just um to defend probably another side of it sorry just to
00:07:14.000 just to just to defend another side of it i think maybe some women may find it they may think it's
00:07:21.280 unattractive to another man to make more money or be more successful so they may not want to go for
00:07:27.840 go for those job roles because they may want the man to feel like the man in the household and um
00:07:35.360 yeah making a lot of money is as scary as a woman and having your own and not needing
00:07:42.240 much um can be disheartening can be very i've been told um scary or i think it's just the attitude
00:07:51.120 that comes with it i agree yeah you can come all sugary and sweet with it and just kind of chill
00:07:58.000 but some women want to throw it in the man's face like look at me i'm a worker i make money money
00:08:02.480 me like if you if you're the breadwinners is your money his money can you make the financial decisions
