@@chandran9184 We see your use of ghetto, infantalisation of her white coworker, dismissal of her truth and downplaying of microaggression. Oh, and you've left 3 comments on this video alone. Perhaps spend less time constructing yourself as a 'perpetual victim' and you'd be a happier person. Ciao.
I’m an equal opportunity youtuber- any idiot has equal opportunity to make it to my storytime. I’ve had a stereotypical black coworker bully me because I’m “not black enough.” I’ve already made a video on that topic. What else is new? 😂 Next
Getting paid what you're worth. Employers will squeeze as much labor out if you as they can get for as low as they can pay you. You, the worker, should have that same attitude toward your salary. Take as much as you can get. And to do that you need to know what your colleagues are making.
Yes! Businesses pay their workers as little as possible. If someone is uninformed over what they should expect to be paid, they might accept a pay that’s lower than they’re entitled to. If you talk with other people then you’ll either find out that you need to demand a raise for yourself or that you all need to go on strike because nobody’s getting paid. It would also help cancel discrimination because the salaries are out in the open. Businesses should be held accountable for paying their employees fairly instead of doing everything they can to rip them off. They make millions/billions. They can more than afford to pay their workers more-two or three times as much in some cases for minimum wage workers.
"When you are a smart independent young person and you know how to leverage your skills, without a degree, you are a huge thread to others." WOW... so true!
Whenever someone asks you a “SHOULD I...” question, the best answer to give is: “do what’s best for you”. And don’t give any personal info on what you would do. They’ll try to blame you if their choice doesn’t go their way.
Salary transparency is a good thing, it prevents legitimate instances of discrimination. Your boss said what he did because it's illegal for employers to punish or prevent employees from discussing their pay with each other.
I don’t agree with the ‘don’t discuss salary at work’ thing. I am not American so it’s much less competitive. We do discuss it and it makes sure nobody is getting underpaid. I know what my coworkers make and use that to negotiate (not blatantly obvious) and my coworkers do the same. This is my first job and it helps me to realistically negotiate with my boss and to see the ‘tricks’ they use.
In my country it’s just like the USA. And you know what, majority of the jobs here aren’t even competitive. You’ll start a indistinguishable fire when you talk about your salary with your coworkers over here. You’ll get dragged by management, the coworkers will be salty and it’s better to leave the place. I see what your point of view is, but damn...in my country I just don’t talk about it and people who ask about it will also get dragged. I guess that salary/income are straight taboo in some countries.
Exactly, it’s a very anti union and equality tactic used by business to make people talk less and be treated unequally. Of course you may be in a country or place that can be detrimental if you share it but it’s toxic
I think to not talk about it is a mind game the employer plays on the employees. Thing I liked about the military...everybody knew what every rank was getting, even when it came to time in service and time in grade, variable housing and food allowances, even bonuses...it was even in the military newspapers.
The fact that she was stealing all your clients and your reaction to it was “I like that she makes me feel competitive” and then reacted that way to find out you were making a mere 5% more than her shows what kind of character you’re dealing with.
Weird. I really do not understand why people you work with are stuck up bitches. They manipulate you, they talk shit about you behind your backs, there’s no sense of real friendship.
@@thespiderverseiscoming5482 i don't even want a friendship with my coworkers I just want everyone to do their part without the unnecessary drama and cattiness 😥 I'm like can yalls leave those qualities back in high school and respect eachother lol
@Hood Cal that's exactly what happened to me earlier this year i had to quit. The environment became so toxic and inappropriate :( . Sometimes i become friends with some coworkers depending if we click! And i totally agree with your last reply! when you're quiet and keep tp yourself certain coworkers still find something to complain about 🥴
I don't think it's wrong to discuss salary, it's how we can sometimes see inequalities in how people are paid. In jobs where it's all about commission then I get it otherwise we should encourage speaking up
Exactly, i know what my coworkers are getting paid and i can use this to negotiate a higher pay for me just like they can. It makes sure nobody is underpaid
True. We’ve been groomed to not discuss salary, and that works in these companies’ favor. Certain demographics contribute to salary and that’s not okay. Because we are so hush about salary, ppl are often underpaid compared to their coworkers.
I'm not discussing my salary with anyone lol, so I commend you I'm keeping quiet about mine people like to start drama then it's this big mess about it when people could just worry about their own money, if I think I deserve a raise I ask when can I do to move to the next step, other then that I let everyone else worry about their own money, people get entitled to know and actually mad because you dont want to discuss it. Keep my name and my coin out of your mouth period
yeah i like how alot of places had a made it a point not to talk about salary and if you worked in hr you could get fired if you talked about it they like to say by not talking about it you are creating a better work environment i say if the people are fine talking about it cause it will teach some people how to ask for more or vaule themselves like when i went to interviews i let them give me a price and if it more then what i want i take it but i have i will not take anything less then this or i walk out number had a job where they wanted hire me and not tell me what i was going to get paid till after i signed the paper work and started working i told them a number i wanted and if they cant give me that then im going to decline the keep telling its a fair rate so i told them no and walked away had another place where i was working through a temp agency and the place offered to hire me on as a full employee and then cut my pay by .25 hour i was making 9.5/hr and wanted to cut me to 9.25/hr and we only did about 30-35 hours a week and the make me pay union dues and i wouldn't be part of the union till i had worked there for another 6 months so none of the benifits of the union till they renegotiated the union contracts in the new year then i would get all the benifits like the heath care and a pay raise of like 2 bucks a hour and union dues from what i got told from the other people there was about 200 a month and it came out of your net pay not gross pay so i looked at them told them no and left to goto a job making almost twice as much working 36 hours a week
We SHOULD discuss our salaries. It's a giant lie by corporate compagnies to have us getting paid less because we just don't know what the others have. Please discuss your salaries, own it like Kelly Stamps right here if you get what you deserve or ASK FOR MORE if you're not getting enough (without throwing a tanthrum like Magdolyn or whatever, it's not your coworkers' fault, take it to your higher ups).
You don't need to know someone else salary to validate your own. The reason you want to know someone else salary is so that you can argue that your worth to the company is more or the same as an individual who might be making more than you. People's salary is where the line from professional to personal is crossed. The job is what you do for a living, and your salary is how you eat, pay rent, pay your bills, etc. It is quite offensive when a co-worker tries to fish that information from me, and I tell them so. This proclamation for others to give up their privacy has to stop! Learn to negotiate, and don't rely on using others to establish your own worth.
@@dcabral00 I disagree. If you don't want to tell your salary when someoke ask for it, it's okay. Just reply you don't feel comfortable telling them and leave it at that. We have the right to ask and you have the right to refuse.
@@TheMirandalorian That is where the line from personal to professional is drawn. It is nobody's business how financially stable you are, not even your job!
That line is generally used when they can see untalented and mediocre women coasting through. Seen far too many women like this who are definitely sleeping with their bosses as it later came out.
Plenty of mediocre men are ‘coasting through’ and you never see anyone asking who they slept with. It’s not an appropriate question or thought to have, period.
but if sheeeeeee were getting paid more than everybody elseeeeeeeee, she'd probably would've been bragginggggggg or saying "she deserved it" or whatever tf
I work in urgent care and I would help hire new staff, and help open new sites with regional managers. I was livid when I found out someone I helped get a job made more money than me and I was consider a lead. After 5 years, waiting for a raise, I finally had enough and moved on. Now I have a new job almost making double. Know your worth never settle for less and negotiate.
It doesn't make sense that the co-workers would turn against a co-worker for making more. They should turn against the employer. I don't believe that's what happens.
It’s how capitalism works. The working class gets mad at other working class instead of getting mad at the billionaires that won’t pay them more. Same concept. But smaller scale.
@ Terena Rosa Of course, it makes sense for an employee to get upset when they found out one employee is making more than they are, especially, if the employee has a 4 year college degree and he or she is getting paid less than someone who doesn't have a college degree! An employee most likely isn't going to turn against their employer, because that's their bread and butter. I can certainly relate to this, because this happen to my daughter a few years ago, she and a co-worker were having a casual conversation about their salaries, when my daughter mentioned her salary her co-worker got extremely upset when she found out my daughter was making more than her, especially since my daughter had only been on the job for just a few months and her co-worker had been there for 2 years. My daughter didn't know any better at the time, she assumed everyone was getting the same pay, she learned her lesson to Never discuss her salary with a co-worker ever again!
I actually think there should be a culture where people can be open about their finances. Normally women and POC gets paid less for no reason, and if everyone is open about their salary, this kind of mistreatment can’t be hidden. It would also encourage employees to go and negotiate for better treatment if they know others are getting paid more. Of course in your case you were paid more for your experience and performance so it’s not like your manager was doing anything wrong. Your co worker could have also just negotiate for more pay instead of throwing a tantrum
What experience and performance? The other girl was completely right, she was the top seller. People doing the same job should get equal pay. I don't get it
La vaca que ri she worked there for longer and she had better performance.... there a lot of work where the lay is performance based and increase every year based on experience.
@@lavacaqueri5454 When you work in sales there's generally a discrepancy in pay from salesperson to salesperson. More experience + more motivation = more sales = more money in your pocket lmao.
La vaca que ri Kelly worked there longer and she had more experience. If you were actually listening to the story Kelly caught up to her and surpassed her. Did you forget about the part where Kelly was talking about she had a fire lit under her butt and it made her work harder and she started getting praise from people. Realistically coworkers are never going to be paid the same. If you have a better position you’re going to make more if you been working there longer you’re going to make more.
What an immature person! Her beef is with the people who decide her salary, NOT YOU lmao. To be honest, I don't think you screwed up - it's very taboo to discuss salary but I think that idea is perpetuated because it protects the "higher ups." They don't want us to compare and consider our "worth." I had a brief (and civil) conversation with a coworker about how much she made and discovered she was making significantly less than me, but had very similar qualifications. She spoke to management and was able to get a raise. Your ex coworker was very wrong to ostracize you like that - her issue is with those who decide the salary. If she were wise, she would've met with them to discuss how she felt it was "unfair" but at the end of the day, she handled it poorly. I personally believe salary should be discussed openly but CIVILY. Clearly your ex coworker couldn't do that lol
I don’t necessarily believe salary should be discussed openly unless you’re comfortable with creating jealous enemies and destroying your once peaceful work environment. I’ve learned to negotiate salary later on in life but I do remember being young and naive and letting “close” coworkers know whenever I would receive a raise, those coworkers eventually turned into office enemies. Make your money in silence, progress in life in silence and let your lifestyle make the noise ESPECIALLY if you’re black. Black women and men are the scape goat to make other races feel better about themselves financially so if others in the office know you’re getting paid more and you’re a person of color it really triggers a nerve. It doesn’t necessarily mean that they’re racist, it’s just a part of the media and the American culture we all play a role in which is subconsciously racist.
Grace M Corporations don’t take advantage of anyone. If you walk into an interview and accept the first salary offer they give you without proving that you’re worth more (negotiating) then that’s your fault and what you accepted your salary to be. Fyi some people get paid more because they didn’t allow the corporation to pay them less and that’s from day one. Don’t be mad at the corporation because your parents raised you to be weak and accept what’s given.
@@Thefreedmind88 lmao who hurt you!? Please do some research on how coporations and companies have systematically taken advantage of the working class. Why don't you want people to be compenated fairly? Not discussing salary is ONLY in the best intrest of a company, not their employees. Why do you think unions exist?? If people are working in the same job title and same tenure, they should make the same. Employees are being paid for the work they do, not how well they "argue" in an interview. Keep in mind as well, that some people accept their first job offers because if they try to "negotiate" as you say, they lose the offer altogether and would rather not risk the opportunity.
This is the hypocrisy of the equal pay outrage. My sister is in HR and she informed me that companies can pay employees different salaries for the same job as long as it’s within a “margin!” So why is that nugget of info not explained by our politicians? It’s actually LEGAL.
True. And when I actually applied on glassdoor the margin said ($xx,xxx - $xx,xxx) letting me know if I proved I had enough experience I could get the higher amount.
It has to do with prior experience, performance, or level of education. A person also may give notice and be offered more money to stay. There are a lot of reasons why people with the same title may be paid different salaries.
Jonothan Doezer I don’t question the reasoning. I detest the lying politicians fueling outrage between the sexes for power but the same legislators allow it in corporate America.
"when you're a smart independent young person, and you know how to leverage your skills without a degree, you are a huge threat" straight facts get em Kelly lmao
I dropped out of college started working when i was 19 years old and with that i was studying from open schooling and this guy told one of my friend that people like me takes the jobs of the people who are really deserving (meant people with degrees and who went to college) now i really have a answer to give too those type of people.
And never sell crack where you rest at, I don't care if they want an ounce, tell em bounce. Not that I have ever sold crack and I never would or indorse it.
12:12 as an ex-manager I can mostly confirm this was him saying "Because of you we don't have to deal with the stress of firing her" because firing someone is mad stressful even when they don't blow up on you
Just showed this video to my boyfriend and he subscribed to you. You're awesome! (Edit: he's my husband, I forgot we got married yesterday. Welcome to our honeymoon, Stamps!)
College grads are so frickin’ entitled. I didn’t finish and did very well in life through other means. A college degree is not the end all be all. The person who thinks a simple piece of paper is supposed to grant them entry to easy life and loads of money is in for a very rude awakening. It’s the biggest scam going.
I'm sorry college grads have treated you as less than. I've seen plenty of people with only high school diplomas and make six figures. There are sooo many people with college degrees (myself included) who struggle to find a job (though on occasion it was due to my name and skin colour). It absolutely is just a piece of expensive paper.
yeah I honestly think discussing your salary at work is fine. Like Kelly said, Magdalene could've used that newfound info differently and tried to leverage it to her advantage, instead of going from "I'm applying for a promotion" to "I'm quitting!" LOL.
Ok, but can we appreciate how you have the skill to negotiate your salary to match what you're worth?? MORE WOMEN NEED TO DO THIS because the biggest reason the wage gap exists for women is being too agreeable and accept the salary employers offer without negotiating. Kudos to you, Kelly. I'm going into engineering and this is something my advisors have emphasized to me-- don't be scared to negotiate and ask for more (but also be able to defend WHY you should be paid more). And I hope this is inspiration for women in particular to be more pushy to get paid what they're deserved. I completely disagree that every person needs to be paid the same amount for the same position because two people with the same job description can vary drastically in their skills and capabilities and the person who worked their ass off to be a strong contribution deserves the same in return. I loved this video, thank you for sharing! I recently subscribed (since like.... yesterday) and I love your videos.
Well no the biggest reason the wage gap exists is because of the sexism of employers in an unregulated system. Let's not blame the marginalized for a world built by their oppressors.
No the biggest reason for the wage gap is differences in occupation between men and women. So many low paying fields are majority women. If you actually do some research and not blame everything on sexism, you'd be a lot less angry. Maybe we'd even be taken seriously.
@Insignificant Speck Of Dust You do that? I would be so paranoid. First, weed smell sticks to you like nothing else. So, I would be paranoid thinking they can smell it or they notice I'm high. It would be awful.
I made the same mistake once. ONCE. I will never make that mistake again :'D It was at my first job after graduation. Because I was so new and unexperienced, I was assuming that my salary was the lowest of the lowest. So when a colleague (same level as me) asked me what my salary was, I shared that information with her because I thought it was impossible to offend someone. Guess what? Turned out my salary was 15% higher than hers. You should have seen her face. She went behind my back after that and hated me forever. The end.
I feel like i can learn a lot from you. I’m a very passive person, and after watching your videos on you dealing with ridiculous people I realize I need to work on not being a pushover. I took 6 months of abuse from my coworker and boss in my first job before i quit out of frustration. I wish I could’ve talked back and stood up to myself, and allowed myself to be angry at them like you do instead of feeling guilty. I really enjoy your videos and i think you’re really funny! Thank you for accidentally teaching me to stand up for myself lol
I know what u mean. I was very passive too and I think I got more confident but I still think its not enough. Sometimes I feel like I should just become the asshole instead.
I wanted to give an update: I have been working really hard on this, and I’m seeing results! After just setting down clear boundaries with my family, i already have more self respect (i even smile more in the mirror because i like the person inside more, i’m closer to who i wanna be). Right now i’m trying to set boundaries with my friends, and I’ve promised myself to be more honest and tell them when their behavior isn’t acceptable. I don’t know why doing it to friends is harder than family, but it is! Confrontation hasn’t been invited unless absolutely necessary, i refuse to continue enabling that “culture “. For each baby step it gets easier to separate myself from the situation, as nothing is ever personal. No one’s issues or anger is about me, but when it impacts me i have the responsibility to either walk away or speak up, which is the opposite of what i was taught to do as a kid. I feel really empowered, best of luck to those trying the same.
meghan sadler i appreciate the intention, but its not as easy as just saying stop or quit doing something. If it was no one would struggle with bad habits, addiction, repetitive issues and so on. I’m doing my best and it will be easier to feel less guilt with a lot of practice and mental tools.
From my perspective it is very important to talk about your pay at work. Only way we can keep our employers accountable when there are pay discrepancies that due to discrimination. The pressure to not talk about pay scales is a way to keep us from advocating for ourselves in the workplace.
i'm usually the one to agree 100%. there are a lot of factors to the story. it is true that non college degree workers can get paid more than a worker with a college degree. the person with the college degree is in debt making less wages compared to someone who didn't go to college. in the US, the education system is broken. more and more millenials and soon gen z graduates end up being unemployed (jobs relating to their degree) for years!!! that is unstable. in high school adults (teachers, counselors, advisers, etc) condition students the importance of college. they are going to follow what adults say about their future. half get their degree and become unemployed and half drop out because they realize it is not their life path. the unemployment is due to the US economy. there's a lot of competition for college level jobs. it becomes more difficult attaining a job. ALSO now, most jobs are temporary. you HAVE to jump around. there is no stable 9-5 job anymore for younger generations. it's a lot. it's a lot. yes, the girl in the story was subconsciously bothered that a black girl earned more than her. and also was bothered that the system (education system) she was conditioned to believe is false and broken.
I also negotiate my pay very early on and have gotten higher pay because of it. I try really hard to encourage my coworkers to ask the same questions that lead to raises and leverage themselves WITHOUT disclosing my actual dollar amount lol. But even when every step is laid out, it's very clear that a lot of people just want money handed to them, and at that point I let it be ✌
Here in Chicago people like to claim they're from places they're not from...ex. They may be from the suburbs, and they say they're from the city....their excuse is that nobody is familiar with the suburbs so they say they're from the city...that is not how this works. I am from a lesser know city of CA. And I say that I am from that city, and not L.A....I just say, "Oh, it is about 40 mins from L.A." Because I know most people only know L.A. so that gives them an idea at least. But, I never say that I am from L.A...Many native Chicagoans find these people from the suburbs annoying for claiming to be native Chicagoans.
I worked with a lady who looked like she just stepped out of a miss something pageant. She was saying that she wanted to make more money, and have a more interesting job. A woman suggested that she apply at Hooters. Three weeks later she came back and said; Oh my gosh I make so much money. The woman asked her why she supposed that was She said The guys are all so nice. Thank God for people like this. Naïve is the polite word for her.
@@LeMerch ...True...but in America it's probably whites that are the most entitled which makes sense since America was pretty much created to be their heaven on earth.

So I'm new to your channel and I love hearing you say about how you want CZcams to be your job one day, and now you are literally dominating the game 8 months later!!! So insanely inspiring.
It’s actually okay from what I understand to discuss salary with co-workers. I think that’s why your manager wasn’t reprimanding you for it. It’s basically to cover the company’s ass coz it’s illegal for them to prohibit you from doing so. She shouldn’t have reacted that way though, just renegotiate your salary or leave if you’re not happy, duh
Personally...her saying “sis” (🤢) as a way to reference you in every convo was enough for me...you have the patience of every good nurse in the world because it really couldn’t have been me.
This story gives me life. Hopefully she sees the error of her entitled ways and realizes how inappropriate it was to fly off the handle and then grill everyone else about their salary too! She could've asked you for tips on how to negotiate a raise instead of feeling threatened.
Mad should have been fired for inquiring about salaries. She’s trash and glad she quit. Never discuss salary, I agree. She was so jealous and unethical.
She likely will in the future when she grows tf up and will feel disgusted as to how terrible she acted out. How is she supposed to get another job if she acted like that?? A serious idiot.
I started strongly disliking this person I've never met when you mentioned her butting into the conversation about being fetishized and missing the point completely. It's a huuuuge pet peeve of mine when someone doesn't relate to me so they start projecting other shit over whatever I'm trying to talk about, especially when it's just shallow, surface level stuff that couldn't even qualify as middle-school discussion. Not that I'm a huge deep intellectual or anything (I thought I caused the blackout in my school by throwing a stick at the green metal box once. I'm not very bright) but why can't these kinds of people ever pay attention and try to notice things outside their own little world instead of talking about the same shit every time?? So yeah, I completely understand why you're so annoyed by her lmao.
@Hanna Sayers Yeah I don't think I'd wanna know what kind of person I'd be in that situation. You know how some people like to project themselves on and imitate movie characters that have super dramatic and interesting backstories? Imagine being that way but with regular ass people lmao
this is a customer story not a colleague one but i remember once serving a girl on the till. she was with an older man who i assumed was her dad treating her to some clothes. he proceeds to touch her butt and she gets pissed off and storms out the shop. to this the guy shouts out "come on, look at all the money i'm paying!" whilst looking around for agreement. i was speechless. this man was her sugar daddy and he just touched her inappropriately in front of the whole store, justifying it because he was buying her clothes. i kept silent and just kept going through with the transaction. i'm about to give him the receipt and he asks for my hand. i'm like wtf - i go to hand over the receipt and this man kisses my hand. like where do these creepy men come from.
I’ve had like 4 different older men buy me clothes when I was 21/22 and they knew not to touch my butt or act this inappropriate whether it was our first time meeting or our 20th 🙈
LOL I worked at American Apparel in high school and a pimp came in with two women on his arms. I gave them a whole styling session and it was fun. *Just* when I thought all the $98 latex neon skirts and fishnet would go to waste...

listen to me! apparently, companies will even have different benefits if you ask for them. I was doing a lot of interviews during last summer and during the questions section I would always ask about sick days, personal days and insurance, the company I currently worked for apparently only gave like 3 sick days a year usually.

OH SHE GOT BIG TAURUS ENERGY "It took every drop of patience in me to not say a damn word to her- because I knew, she could not handle me roasting her. I'm one of those people that stays real quiet around stupidity. But until you come for me, you don't realize I will ANNIHILATE YOU with FACTS." This is me to a T. Everyone thinks I'm weak because I'm quiet or "too nice" to say something. No sis. I'm sparing you. But there is a point you don't wanna cross, because that's when you find out. I got all the facts all along. I pay attention and notice everything. I just don't waste my energy on petty people's drama and bullshit until I have to, and when I do, I will straight up end it.
Negotiation is definitely an important skill. My partner has no college degree and made more than his co-workers at his last job because, as Kelly says, he knew his value and he knew how to negotiate for himself. In fact, he was baffled when he found out other people don't know how to do this.
White privilege is very real but I don't see where race entered this conflict at all? She's clearly feels entitled due to having a degree...nothing about race there. 🤷♀️🤷🏻♀️🤷🏼♀️🤷🏽♀️🤷🏾♀️🤷🏿♀️
Megan6772 she feels entitled because she has a degree AND a “black girl’ is making more than her without a degree! It has absolutely everything to do with race! Their privilege is becoming nonexistent and they don’t know how to handle it lol the girl quit the whole job

Getting paid what you're worth. Employers will squeeze as much labor out if you as they can get for as low as they can pay you. You, the worker, should have that same attitude toward your salary. Take as much as you can get. And to do that you need to know what your colleagues are making.
True af
Yes! Businesses pay their workers as little as possible. If someone is uninformed over what they should expect to be paid, they might accept a pay that’s lower than they’re entitled to. If you talk with other people then you’ll either find out that you need to demand a raise for yourself or that you all need to go on strike because nobody’s getting paid. It would also help cancel discrimination because the salaries are out in the open.
Businesses should be held accountable for paying their employees fairly instead of doing everything they can to rip them off. They make millions/billions. They can more than afford to pay their workers more-two or three times as much in some cases for minimum wage workers.
@Wahu __ A lot of people are paid less for the same job, on the basis of their employers bias.

ow wow i will use that next time thank uuu
I found it to be useful and diplomatic in those situations.
That's a keeper. I'm writing that down.
Salary transparency is a good thing, it prevents legitimate instances of discrimination. Your boss said what he did because it's illegal for employers to punish or prevent employees from discussing their pay with each other.
right... he legally has to say that lmao
Wow, I didn’t know that.
I don’t agree with the ‘don’t discuss salary at work’ thing. I am not American so it’s much less competitive. We do discuss it and it makes sure nobody is getting underpaid. I know what my coworkers make and use that to negotiate (not blatantly obvious) and my coworkers do the same. This is my first job and it helps me to realistically negotiate with my boss and to see the ‘tricks’ they use.
Agreed
Well said , I agree
In my country it’s just like the USA. And you know what, majority of the jobs here aren’t even competitive. You’ll start a indistinguishable fire when you talk about your salary with your coworkers over here. You’ll get dragged by management, the coworkers will be salty and it’s better to leave the place. I see what your point of view is, but damn...in my country I just don’t talk about it and people who ask about it will also get dragged. I guess that salary/income are straight taboo in some countries.
Exactly, it’s a very anti union and equality tactic used by business to make people talk less and be treated unequally. Of course you may be in a country or place that can be detrimental if you share it but it’s toxic
I think to not talk about it is a mind game the employer plays on the employees. Thing I liked about the military...everybody knew what every rank was getting, even when it came to time in service and time in grade, variable housing and food allowances, even bonuses...it was even in the military newspapers.
The fact that she was stealing all your clients and your reaction to it was “I like that she makes me feel competitive” and then reacted that way to find out you were making a mere 5% more than her shows what kind of character you’re dealing with.
The numbers were made up, so it could be more than 5 %, but other than that yeah lol

I don't think it's wrong to discuss salary, it's how we can sometimes see inequalities in how people are paid. In jobs where it's all about commission then I get it otherwise we should encourage speaking up
Exactly, i know what my coworkers are getting paid and i can use this to negotiate a higher pay for me just like they can. It makes sure nobody is underpaid
this is specially useful if the people at new employment could discuss it so the new hire can get the best rate
True. We’ve been groomed to not discuss salary, and that works in these companies’ favor. Certain demographics contribute to salary and that’s not okay. Because we are so hush about salary, ppl are often underpaid compared to their coworkers.
I'm not discussing my salary with anyone lol, so I commend you I'm keeping quiet about mine people like to start drama then it's this big mess about it when people could just worry about their own money, if I think I deserve a raise I ask when can I do to move to the next step, other then that I let everyone else worry about their own money, people get entitled to know and actually mad because you dont want to discuss it. Keep my name and my coin out of your mouth period
yeah i like how alot of places had a made it a point not to talk about salary and if you worked in hr you could get fired if you talked about it they like to say by not talking about it you are creating a better work environment i say if the people are fine talking about it cause it will teach some people how to ask for more or vaule themselves like when i went to interviews i let them give me a price and if it more then what i want i take it but i have i will not take anything less then this or i walk out number had a job where they wanted hire me and not tell me what i was going to get paid till after i signed the paper work and started working i told them a number i wanted and if they cant give me that then im going to decline the keep telling its a fair rate so i told them no and walked away
had another place where i was working through a temp agency and the place offered to hire me on as a full employee and then cut my pay by .25 hour i was making 9.5/hr and wanted to cut me to 9.25/hr and we only did about 30-35 hours a week and the make me pay union dues and i wouldn't be part of the union till i had worked there for another 6 months so none of the benifits of the union till they renegotiated the union contracts in the new year then i would get all the benifits like the heath care and a pay raise of like 2 bucks a hour and union dues from what i got told from the other people there was about 200 a month and it came out of your net pay not gross pay so i looked at them told them no and left to goto a job making almost twice as much working 36 hours a week
We SHOULD discuss our salaries. It's a giant lie by corporate compagnies to have us getting paid less because we just don't know what the others have. Please discuss your salaries, own it like Kelly Stamps right here if you get what you deserve or ASK FOR MORE if you're not getting enough (without throwing a tanthrum like Magdolyn or whatever, it's not your coworkers' fault, take it to your higher ups).
You don't need to know someone else salary to validate your own. The reason you want to know someone else salary is so that you can argue that your worth to the company is more or the same as an individual who might be making more than you. People's salary is where the line from professional to personal is crossed. The job is what you do for a living, and your salary is how you eat, pay rent, pay your bills, etc. It is quite offensive when a co-worker tries to fish that information from me, and I tell them so. This proclamation for others to give up their privacy has to stop! Learn to negotiate, and don't rely on using others to establish your own worth.
I told my coworker once and I got in trouble SO HARD! I was totally ignorant about that taboo at the time, but it was an awful experience
@@dcabral00 I disagree. If you don't want to tell your salary when someoke ask for it, it's okay. Just reply you don't feel comfortable telling them and leave it at that. We have the right to ask and you have the right to refuse.

@ Terena Rosa Of course, it makes sense for an employee to get upset when they found out one employee is making more than they are, especially, if the employee has a 4 year college degree and he or she is getting paid less than someone who doesn't have a college degree! An employee most likely isn't going to turn against their employer, because that's their bread and butter. I can certainly relate to this, because this happen to my daughter a few years ago, she and a co-worker were having a casual conversation about their salaries, when my daughter mentioned her salary her co-worker got extremely upset when she found out my daughter was making more than her, especially since my daughter had only been on the job for just a few months and her co-worker had been there for 2 years. My daughter didn't know any better at the time, she assumed everyone was getting the same pay, she learned her lesson to Never discuss her salary with a co-worker ever again!

Hey siss👋🏼
I actually think there should be a culture where people can be open about their finances. Normally women and POC gets paid less for no reason, and if everyone is open about their salary, this kind of mistreatment can’t be hidden. It would also encourage employees to go and negotiate for better treatment if they know others are getting paid more.
Of course in your case you were paid more for your experience and performance so it’s not like your manager was doing anything wrong. Your co worker could have also just negotiate for more pay instead of throwing a tantrum
Us keeping quiet about our wages literally only benefits our bosses to pay us unfairly. We need to stop doing that
What experience and performance? The other girl was completely right, she was the top seller. People doing the same job should get equal pay. I don't get it
La vaca que ri she worked there for longer and she had better performance.... there a lot of work where the lay is performance based and increase every year based on experience.
@@lavacaqueri5454 When you work in sales there's generally a discrepancy in pay from salesperson to salesperson. More experience + more motivation = more sales = more money in your pocket lmao.
La vaca que ri Kelly worked there longer and she had more experience. If you were actually listening to the story Kelly caught up to her and surpassed her. Did you forget about the part where Kelly was talking about she had a fire lit under her butt and it made her work harder and she started getting praise from people. Realistically coworkers are never going to be paid the same. If you have a better position you’re going to make more if you been working there longer you’re going to make more.

What an immature person! Her beef is with the people who decide her salary, NOT YOU lmao. To be honest, I don't think you screwed up - it's very taboo to discuss salary but I think that idea is perpetuated because it protects the "higher ups." They don't want us to compare and consider our "worth." I had a brief (and civil) conversation with a coworker about how much she made and discovered she was making significantly less than me, but had very similar qualifications. She spoke to management and was able to get a raise. Your ex coworker was very wrong to ostracize you like that - her issue is with those who decide the salary. If she were wise, she would've met with them to discuss how she felt it was "unfair" but at the end of the day, she handled it poorly. I personally believe salary should be discussed openly but CIVILY. Clearly your ex coworker couldn't do that lol
Stacy agreed!
I don’t necessarily believe salary should be discussed openly unless you’re comfortable with creating jealous enemies and destroying your once peaceful work environment. I’ve learned to negotiate salary later on in life but I do remember being young and naive and letting “close” coworkers know whenever I would receive a raise, those coworkers eventually turned into office enemies. Make your money in silence, progress in life in silence and let your lifestyle make the noise ESPECIALLY if you’re black. Black women and men are the scape goat to make other races feel better about themselves financially so if others in the office know you’re getting paid more and you’re a person of color it really triggers a nerve. It doesn’t necessarily mean that they’re racist, it’s just a part of the media and the American culture we all play a role in which is subconsciously racist.
Always discuss salary! That’s how corporations take advantage of employees
Grace M Corporations don’t take advantage of anyone. If you walk into an interview and accept the first salary offer they give you without proving that you’re worth more (negotiating) then that’s your fault and what you accepted your salary to be. Fyi some people get paid more because they didn’t allow the corporation to pay them less and that’s from day one. Don’t be mad at the corporation because your parents raised you to be weak and accept what’s given.
@@Thefreedmind88 lmao who hurt you!? Please do some research on how coporations and companies have systematically taken advantage of the working class. Why don't you want people to be compenated fairly? Not discussing salary is ONLY in the best intrest of a company, not their employees. Why do you think unions exist?? If people are working in the same job title and same tenure, they should make the same. Employees are being paid for the work they do, not how well they "argue" in an interview. Keep in mind as well, that some people accept their first job offers because if they try to "negotiate" as you say, they lose the offer altogether and would rather not risk the opportunity.

This is the hypocrisy of the equal pay outrage. My sister is in HR and she informed me that companies can pay employees different salaries for the same job as long as it’s within a “margin!” So why is that nugget of info not explained by our politicians? It’s actually LEGAL.
True. And when I actually applied on glassdoor the margin said ($xx,xxx - $xx,xxx) letting me know if I proved I had enough experience I could get the higher amount.
It has to do with prior experience, performance, or level of education. A person also may give notice and be offered more money to stay. There are a lot of reasons why people with the same title may be paid different salaries.

Ok, but can we appreciate how you have the skill to negotiate your salary to match what you're worth?? MORE WOMEN NEED TO DO THIS because the biggest reason the wage gap exists for women is being too agreeable and accept the salary employers offer without negotiating. Kudos to you, Kelly. I'm going into engineering and this is something my advisors have emphasized to me-- don't be scared to negotiate and ask for more (but also be able to defend WHY you should be paid more). And I hope this is inspiration for women in particular to be more pushy to get paid what they're deserved. I completely disagree that every person needs to be paid the same amount for the same position because two people with the same job description can vary drastically in their skills and capabilities and the person who worked their ass off to be a strong contribution deserves the same in return. I loved this video, thank you for sharing! I recently subscribed (since like.... yesterday) and I love your videos.
Well no the biggest reason the wage gap exists is because of the sexism of employers in an unregulated system. Let's not blame the marginalized for a world built by their oppressors.
No the biggest reason for the wage gap is differences in occupation between men and women. So many low paying fields are majority women. If you actually do some research and not blame everything on sexism, you'd be a lot less angry. Maybe we'd even be taken seriously.
everyone needs to do this. the entire working class is severely underpaid.

I made the same mistake once. ONCE. I will never make that mistake again :'D It was at my first job after graduation. Because I was so new and unexperienced, I was assuming that my salary was the lowest of the lowest. So when a colleague (same level as me) asked me what my salary was, I shared that information with her because I thought it was impossible to offend someone. Guess what? Turned out my salary was 15% higher than hers. You should have seen her face. She went behind my back after that and hated me forever. The end.

I wanted to give an update: I have been working really hard on this, and I’m seeing results! After just setting down clear boundaries with my family, i already have more self respect (i even smile more in the mirror because i like the person inside more, i’m closer to who i wanna be). Right now i’m trying to set boundaries with my friends, and I’ve promised myself to be more honest and tell them when their behavior isn’t acceptable. I don’t know why doing it to friends is harder than family, but it is! Confrontation hasn’t been invited unless absolutely necessary, i refuse to continue enabling that “culture “. For each baby step it gets easier to separate myself from the situation, as nothing is ever personal. No one’s issues or anger is about me, but when it impacts me i have the responsibility to either walk away or speak up, which is the opposite of what i was taught to do as a kid. I feel really empowered, best of luck to those trying the same.
stop feeling guilty!
meghan sadler i appreciate the intention, but its not as easy as just saying stop or quit doing something. If it was no one would struggle with bad habits, addiction, repetitive issues and so on. I’m doing my best and it will be easier to feel less guilt with a lot of practice and mental tools.

i'm usually the one to agree 100%. there are a lot of factors to the story. it is true that non college degree workers can get paid more than a worker with a college degree. the person with the college degree is in debt making less wages compared to someone who didn't go to college. in the US, the education system is broken. more and more millenials and soon gen z graduates end up being unemployed (jobs relating to their degree) for years!!! that is unstable. in high school adults (teachers, counselors, advisers, etc) condition students the importance of college. they are going to follow what adults say about their future. half get their degree and become unemployed and half drop out because they realize it is not their life path. the unemployment is due to the US economy. there's a lot of competition for college level jobs. it becomes more difficult attaining a job. ALSO now, most jobs are temporary. you HAVE to jump around. there is no stable 9-5 job anymore for younger generations. it's a lot. it's a lot. yes, the girl in the story was subconsciously bothered that a black girl earned more than her. and also was bothered that the system (education system) she was conditioned to believe is false and broken.

White woman entitlement I work with it everyday in nursing. Girl been there got that and got the free t-shirt and soda.
Hei Nu Chung: “Been there, done that, got the t-shirt & the hat”
@@LeMerch ...True...but in America it's probably whites that are the most entitled which makes sense since America was pretty much created to be their heaven on earth.
If Kelly had never mentioned her race, you wouldn't have made this ignorant comment. There's people of every race like this in every office if you work in sales.
@@osimeon00 Anyways.
@@kilaa3417 ...Exactly...😂😂😂
Ugh I hate people like Madeline🙄 And I cannot believe that psycho was stealing your sales, which in turn was her stealing your hard earned money😤
So I'm new to your channel and I love hearing you say about how you want CZcams to be your job one day, and now you are literally dominating the game 8 months later!!! So insanely inspiring.
I FEEL you on the career choice thing. This is supposed to be a “rest my life” decision, and being indecisive is ingrained my personality :/
It’s actually okay from what I understand to discuss salary with co-workers. I think that’s why your manager wasn’t reprimanding you for it. It’s basically to cover the company’s ass coz it’s illegal for them to prohibit you from doing so. She shouldn’t have reacted that way though, just renegotiate your salary or leave if you’re not happy, duh
lmao so happy i found your channel.
Ari this channel is so fitting for you. She is like your little straight sister. Lol
"let me know if you need like money or anything I know you're struggling" I CAN'T AHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA
Petty queen petty queen...oh wow...life right now sure hell needs that Kelly Spice.
He's like "thank God, that B is gone". 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
"Hey sis, let me know if you need money"
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Personally...her saying “sis” (🤢) as a way to reference you in every convo was enough for me...you have the patience of every good nurse in the world because it really couldn’t have been me.
@Kelsey Harden I said the same thing. It’s not for them to use. I would’ve said the 1st time she did it, don’t say that to me 💯✊🏾
This story gives me life. Hopefully she sees the error of her entitled ways and realizes how inappropriate it was to fly off the handle and then grill everyone else about their salary too! She could've asked you for tips on how to negotiate a raise instead of feeling threatened.
People are haters!
Exactly! Instead of a "Why you" mentality, she could've had a "How do I get to where you are?" mentality. Entitled people annoy me so much
Nigel Murillo “How do I get where your at?” I love that!
Mad should have been fired for inquiring about salaries. She’s trash and glad she quit. Never discuss salary, I agree. She was so jealous and unethical.
She likely will in the future when she grows tf up and will feel disgusted as to how terrible she acted out. How is she supposed to get another job if she acted like that?? A serious idiot.
Guess who found a new favourite youtuber to binge watch
The dislikes are from Magdalene and her people in Florida
I started strongly disliking this person I've never met when you mentioned her butting into the conversation about being fetishized and missing the point completely.
It's a huuuuge pet peeve of mine when someone doesn't relate to me so they start projecting other shit over whatever I'm trying to talk about, especially when it's just shallow, surface level stuff that couldn't even qualify as middle-school discussion.
Not that I'm a huge deep intellectual or anything (I thought I caused the blackout in my school by throwing a stick at the green metal box once. I'm not very bright) but why can't these kinds of people ever pay attention and try to notice things outside their own little world instead of talking about the same shit every time??
So yeah, I completely understand why you're so annoyed by her lmao.
I think it's insecurity and a need to feel involved
@@KellyStamps That kinda makes sense. Do you think not relating to anyone's problems is miserable in it's own strange way?
@Hanna Sayers Yeah I don't think I'd wanna know what kind of person I'd be in that situation. You know how some people like to project themselves on and imitate movie characters that have super dramatic and interesting backstories? Imagine being that way but with regular ass people lmao
@Hanna Sayers Well said my friend 🥂
this is a customer story not a colleague one but i remember once serving a girl on the till. she was with an older man who i assumed was her dad treating her to some clothes. he proceeds to touch her butt and she gets pissed off and storms out the shop. to this the guy shouts out "come on, look at all the money i'm paying!" whilst looking around for agreement. i was speechless. this man was her sugar daddy and he just touched her inappropriately in front of the whole store, justifying it because he was buying her clothes. i kept silent and just kept going through with the transaction. i'm about to give him the receipt and he asks for my hand. i'm like wtf - i go to hand over the receipt and this man kisses my hand. like where do these creepy men come from.
I’ve had like 4 different older men buy me clothes when I was 21/22 and they knew not to touch my butt or act this inappropriate whether it was our first time meeting or our 20th 🙈
LOL I worked at American Apparel in high school and a pimp came in with two women on his arms. I gave them a whole styling session and it was fun. *Just* when I thought all the $98 latex neon skirts and fishnet would go to waste...
I’m 29 and JUST got to 50k. Good for you being able to make so much so young! You earned those patent leather Chanel Mary Janes sis!!!
We're all on the path of figuring things out.
What’s amazing is that you’re clueless as what really got underneath her skin. Don’t worry, this is the first of many and sooner or later your going to recognize an underlying theme!
Oh...I know it
I just can't say it on here 👩🏾💻
Kelly Stamps Excellent! As long as you know!
@@KellyStamps Yes, you can say it on here and you should. It's unfortunate that POC feel the need to protect racists. Speak your truth!
@@atoznum1 I run my channel in a meticulous way. I don't feel like a victim and never will. I don't care to cry racism each time some drama starts. We all know why she was threatened. I just laugh about it!
@@KellyStamps respect.
I have a coworker who wants me to quit so her friend can come back to work. Long story but I'm not going anywhere and she is very frustrated. Long story ugh
What... That is so entitled
listen to me! apparently, companies will even have different benefits if you ask for them. I was doing a lot of interviews during last summer and during the questions section I would always ask about sick days, personal days and insurance, the company I currently worked for apparently only gave like 3 sick days a year usually. I didn't know this and was discussing how my coworker could effectively use hers so that she could still travel with her mother for her mums surgery. You would not imagine the hate I got for just 6 extra days
Similar thing happen to me as well.I have learnt 'Never discuss salary in working environment' the hard way. Thank you I can relate so much to you.
she’s so swell spoken i could watch her story times all day
I couldn't scroll through without telling you this, but you're literally so beautiful. Seem to have a very welcoming spirit.
A lot of brown people are 🤨😑
@@Coolct no need to make it about race, I'm white and she's more well spoken than me. It's just entertaining to listen to. It's a simple compliment. Move along
Channon Eleven This saying has meaning to black/brown folk bc most think we aren’t well spoken so when they say this there is some shade behind it. But I understand both of you.
CoolCalmChris Haha reminds me of that Boondocks episode. “Oh he’s so articulate! He’s so well spoken.” Lmao 🤣
10:01 This. Got into IT with a $300 certification at 21, my coworkers were 40+ with degrees from 15 years ago and were SALTY.
PotOfDuality What certificate? Asking for a friend! 😁
@@schnioula Google IT certification. I know a friend who landed at Microsoft just with that.
@@a.y.greyson9264 I looked into this 2 years ago. There's like 30 different certs from A+ to Cisco each. I need specifics 😭😭😂😂😂😂. Please😊
I wanna get into IT, any tips?
@@napkinhoarder21 You're already in the right place! Here's exactly what I did: Downloaded the official A+ online. Read a chapter per day. Watched CZcams lectures (try CBT Nuggets). Studied two days, and took the two-part test. The rest I picked up from being on the job.
I can't believe people look down on success like this, like amazing job on your part for negotiating well and working hard!
I love how she is so Smart! Like how do u do it, like what is your process to be good at everything? Girlll u are awsmm. Also, spill the tea sis, tell me how be smart!
"I was left unattended with Magdolin... "
I thought this is where you explain why you had to wring her neck 😂
HAHA
Kelly could you please just write a 15 to 20 minutes comedy routine already. You definitely have the ability to kill it. You're funny can dance, gorgeous 😍 and personality is on thousand.
Blondie was mad she got outdone by an "Omg you're so articulate!" Black woman. Some people just hate to see us succeed.
I love this!! This is the first educational story time I've ever heard. I'm glad you brought up these life skills and teaching girls (and everyone) to negotiate salaries and to know their worth. These are important skills that I work on, but its been a struggle due to my very unsupported/neglected upbringing. I'm loving your content. Please share more life skills content!
🖤🤍
I'm literally at work crying at "she didnt even finish college" 😭😭😭 she tried it 🙄
OH SHE GOT BIG TAURUS ENERGY "It took every drop of patience in me to not say a damn word to her- because I knew, she could not handle me roasting her. I'm one of those people that stays real quiet around stupidity. But until you come for me, you don't realize I will ANNIHILATE YOU with FACTS."
This is me to a T. Everyone thinks I'm weak because I'm quiet or "too nice" to say something. No sis. I'm sparing you. But there is a point you don't wanna cross, because that's when you find out. I got all the facts all along. I pay attention and notice everything. I just don't waste my energy on petty people's drama and bullshit until I have to, and when I do, I will straight up end it.
Oh wow, I’m Taurus too and I’m the same way🤣🤣...guess there’s some elements of truth in star signs💫
She’s a May Gemini. FOR SURE got Taurus in her chart🤣
OMG "I'm sparing you" I felt that....you are not someone I will mess with EVER😅😂😂
Omg same!
Yup me too
Negotiation is definitely an important skill. My partner has no college degree and made more than his co-workers at his last job because, as Kelly says, he knew his value and he knew how to negotiate for himself. In fact, he was baffled when he found out other people don't know how to do this.
I'm getting heavy Virgo vibes from you and I'm loving every second of it.
She's underrated. Funny as hell
Sounds like her denial of white privilege in particular situation pissed her off ..you go girl
BEST COMMENT
Stephanie Knight we won and they know it 💪🏾💪🏾
White privilege is very real but I don't see where race entered this conflict at all? She's clearly feels entitled due to having a degree...nothing about race there. 🤷♀️🤷🏻♀️🤷🏼♀️🤷🏽♀️🤷🏾♀️🤷🏿♀️
Megan6772 she feels entitled because she has a degree AND a “black girl’ is making more than her without a degree! It has absolutely everything to do with race! Their privilege is becoming nonexistent and they don’t know how to handle it lol the girl quit the whole job
@@karmlaquinn please explain how you know she was offended due to the fact Kelly is black.
Ending is the best part!
I love these story times. They feel like we are literally talking to each other!
I really hope Magdeline gets a chance to see this.

Another powerful message. Taking full responsibility of my life and do the ONE thing that matters to me aka prioritize it daily to be productive while feeling joy as I create art that inspires joy to my art buyers. And they will hopefully wake up to living with passion, purpose, and get paid for being awesomely unique. Thank you, Kelly.
So happy you ended up finding a "career" you love. CZcams needs you! I(the mother of the 3 boys in the profile pic) discovered you just a few days ago and I'm now stuck in your black hole watching every video. I love your personality, all of your stories, and all of your tips! I wish you so much success and can't wait to see your reach the tens of millions subscriber count!
