Light Work by Dear Patriarchy
An intersectional feminist guide for women trying to survive the (corporate) world. Jen & Lisa are sisters with over 2 decades spent working in the male-dominated industries of Construction, Tech and Finance. They delve into the pitfalls and the gas-lighting people who identify as women experience in the patriarchal construct of traditional corporate environments, sharing their personal experiences along with statistics relating to how misogyny, racism, queer-phobia, fatphobia, ableism and other forms of discrimination present in the workplace. If you’ve ever wondered why you’re not getting ahead at work (or getting as far as you want), they'll explore why (spoiler alert: it’s not your fault) and what you can do about it.

If this episode is resonating with you, send us a message - we’d love to hear from you 🤍
Welcome to episode 6 of series 3 where we’re talking about applying for jobs. We start by discussing how to lose the mindset that companies are owed our labour and be aware of the obstacles that exist for those who identify as women and disproportionately impact on Black women and women of Colour. We discuss the tools and processes we use when we job search and how to spot red flags during the interview process. We discuss pay inequity, negotiation mindsets and how to protect yourself from potential future exploitation. Tune in to next week’s episode for part 2!
