Even in the Before Times, the restaurant industry had problems. Seventy percent of its women and femme employees said they'd experienced sexual harassment on the job. The EEOC took in more harassment complaints from restaurant workers than any other workplace. And then there's the federal minimum wage for tipped workers - a whopping $2.13 per hour. Then Covid hit. Jeannie and Eula talk with a longtime server in Illinois about how her job changed with the pandemic, and how waiting tables during Covid has changed her.

Britney
Battle Tactics For Your Sexist Workplace
10/04/21 • 37 min
Help support the show! Become a patron now and get all kinds of extra goodies.
Even before the conservatorship, Britney Spears had to figure out how to navigate a stunningly sexist workplace. The kind of workplace where it was considered charming for a fully adult Ed McMahon to compliment your "pretty eyes" and ask if you have a boyfriend...when you're ten years old...and on national television.
Jeannie and Eula have a heart-to-heart about the public narrative around Britney Spears, and how we all had a hand in creating her toxic, sexist workplace - one that only got worse once she became a mom. And they talk about how to do better from here on out.
The documentary we discuss in this episode is Framing Britney Spears, available on Hulu. There's now a second documentary on Hulu too. It's called Controlling Britney Spears. We highly recommend you start with Framing Britney Spears.

Battle Tactics For Your Sexist Workplace
09/10/19 • 44 min
Hate your sexist boss? Ok, so why not be your own boss? This is one of the draws of pursuing freelancing as a career. While freelancing offers wonderful plus sides, it also comes with new uncertainties and pressures that many traditional jobs don’t have. And it comes with many of the same gendered and racial biases found in traditional jobs too. Award-winning journalist Celeste Headlee knows this dilemma well and shares her insights with Eula and Jeannie.

Getting dressed for work is a minefield. So get in character instead
Battle Tactics For Your Sexist Workplace
09/24/19 • 34 min
Dress for the job you want. Dress for success. We have all been looking for that the magic combination of clothing that projects “I’m smart yet approachable yet not looking for inappropriate attention AT ALL yet totally a team player yet absolutely a boss yet not too bossy.” Businesses like Stitch Fix, MM LaFleur and Armoire exist because they promise to grapple with this problem for us and deliver solutions in the form of curated clothing. But what if you don’t think throwing a ton of money at this is a solution?
Savannah Sly, a longtime sex worker and former cannibis startup employee has a fascinating idea about how women and non-binary people can think differently about dressing for work: think about the persona you are trying to embody.

Intent doesn’t matter: how to be a real ally for other women
Battle Tactics For Your Sexist Workplace
07/30/19 • 42 min
Maybe Madeline Albright is right that there’s a special place in hell for women who don’t help other women. And on BTSW we’ve leaned pretty hard into this idea that we all need to stand up and with our women co-workers. But, as evidenced by notes and stories from our own listeners, we're not all doing that. Eula and Jeannie talk to Leslie Feinzaig of the Female Founders Alliance about why it’s important to help your women and non-binary colleagues and what that actually looks like.

Is quitting your sexist job really a tactic?
Battle Tactics For Your Sexist Workplace
07/16/19 • 30 min
BTSW has shared quitting as a viable tactic on previous episodes. If you can’t change your workplace, find a new one. Eula believes in this tactic– she's a prolific quitter. Jeannie doesn’t - she has literally never quit a job. So when is quitting a wise tactical choice? And what happens when you *DO* quit just to discover your new work reality is just a different kind of toxic? And honestly, if “quitting” is a viable tactic, why isn’t “just suck it up and deal with it” a viable tactic too? Liz Fong-Jones thought a lot about this when she quit her job at Google, and she shares her insights on how to quit strategically.

Lean In didn't work for her- so she tried anger instead
Battle Tactics For Your Sexist Workplace
08/13/19 • 35 min
It’s commonly accepted at this point that the idea of leaning in is at best flawed, at worst myopic, harmful, and privileged AF. But when Jeannie and Eula explored the book Lean In further, they noticed something troubling. Leaning In is a tactic, much like the ones they suggest on the show.
Double Shift host and journalist Katherine Goldstein loved* Lean In* at first. She even started her own Lean In Circle. Today, she sees its flaws clearly - but she also thinks many of us are too quick to gloss over why it was so important and ultimately helpful. She tells Eula and Jeannie why so many of us kind of needed Lean In, even when it hurt us more than it helped us.
