On the last episode of Workplace Weekly, we introduced the story of Kimberly Nguyen. Kimberly's tweet about discovering her job being advertised with a higher salary range than her current pay sparked a conversation on pay transparency, and a little media shitstorm. She didn't expect the tweet to go viral, but it did, so here we are - and this is part two of our conversation. Kimberly's story and capacity to articulate the core systemic issues of the matter speak directly to the frustration many contractors/employees face when it comes the lack of fair compensation and the runaround that often comes with having such matters addresses. Kimberly and Kate discuss the cultural impact of this in the workplace, but also, the status quo of employment across the board. Brief digressions include the WGA and SAG-AFTA strikes, and how we can make the word “union” not sound so dirty to companies. Kimberly's advocacy for herself and others was a lightening rod for an issue that ferments under the surface of society every day.More about KimberlyKIMBERLY NGUYỄN, a Vietnamese-American poet and author of "ghosts in the stalks" and "Here I Am Burn Me," resides in New York City, originally hailing from Omaha, Nebraska.

Workplace Weekly is back in session! Kicking off, reflect briefly on a recent controversy in Denmark's labor landscape. We discuss the accusations against a prominent union boss who is facing allegations of inappropriate conduct and the potential (lack of) ramifications for the union and the broader labor movement in Denmark, exploring the challenges of maintaining integrity and trust within organisational leadership. Fanny and Kate dive into the NLRB's recent decision that upholds employees' rights to discuss their former employers regardless of receiving severance. We got our H&H Legal Eagle to Mansplain the decision too, in case you want to know more. We explore the potential impact of this decision on the future of employee rights and workplace transparency. Next on the agenda, the hosts turn their attention to a highly anticipated moment: Howard Schultz facing Congress to answer questions about Starbucks and its alleged union-busting tactics. We play yet another round of "Who Wants To Be...," pitting companies against an AI to determine who can demonstrate allyship most effectively.Production CreditsWorkplace Weekly was produced by Kate Bailey (H&H Instagram / H&H Twitter) and Fanny Wandel (Twitter) for Hand & Heart Media, the publishing arm of Hand & Heart GmbH.

Welcome to another episode of "Workplace Weekly" with your hosts, Fanny and Kate. It's your usual rollercoaster of overconfident commentary about workplace issues, and a shitpost of a good time. We're excited to announce our upcoming podcast, "Right the Ship," where we'll be diving into the story of a federal whistleblower. We're also introducing a new game show segment called "Who Wants to Be A Forgiven," where we'll be guessing which apology statement was made by a real CEO and which was generated by AI. It's sure to be a hit!We get down and dirty with parasocial relationships and the pressure they put on public figures. We're looking at you, Pedro Pascal. But it's not just celebrities who face this issue - it's a problem in the workplace too. Objectification and harassment are serious issues that need to be addressed. Finally, our Workplace Savage discusses imposter syndrome and how it's connected to political and power dynamics in the workplace.******************************************************************************************************************************************************************Production CreditsWorkplace Weekly****************************************************************************************************************************************************************** was produced by Kate Bailey (H&H Instagram / H&H Twitter) and Fanny Wandel (Twitter) for Hand & Heart Media, the publishing arm of Hand & Heart GmbH.

DescriptionFor Episode Four of Workplace Weekly, Kate Bailey and Fanny Wandel, bring you Part Two of our interview with Christina Ro-Connolly (whom, we shamelessly stan). Tina addresses some of the disadvantages of allegations regarding workplaves being made publicly and put thrust under a media spotlight. We discuss being committed to the neutral rule, and how Tina & OIG Law incorporates that into practice while also seeking to build healthier relationships with clients and helping them to move forward past the conflict. We asked about materials Tina & OIG have developed around the role race can play in investigations, really shining an exemplary light on OIG efforts to put DE&I into all element of practice for workplace investigators and attorneys. Tina addresses the “window dressing” element clients can sometimes want, and how to navigate this, while still putting values first.Christina (Tina) Ro-Connelly is a Partner with Oppenheimer Investigations Group LLP (follow OIG on Instagram!).

Episode Three point One kicks off our lengthy analysis of how the media is utilised or seemingly weaponised as an apparatus of control in public debates around workplaces. We cover ground on inaccuracies in reporting, how a company could use social media and traditional publishing media to “socialwash” or “Boris Bus”, and syndication and distribution methods that can tip the scales in matters of public debate defined by power dynamics and resources. We discuss the impacts this can have.

Episode Two looks at the concept of abrasive leadership, exploring the implications for all stakeholders when an individual starts exhibiting traits of abrasive leadership. The forensic detailing of Quotegate continues, and we hear the lengths the community went to trying to clarify the issue. We hear about an example of corporate retaliation, not dissimilar to tactics employed by Harvey Weinstein or Tesla, who have notably used private investigators with former workers. We also hear what happens when diplomacy falls apart when confusion and mistrust set in.More Information, Links etc.With this link, you can access all of our sourcing, transcripts and all podcast info:www.handandheart.eu/spcmCreditsHand & Heart extend our appreciation and gratitude to all who contributed to this podcast, and all who assisted in its production.The song “Back to the Wall” was composed and performed by AMUNDA, and produced by AMUNDA with Kyle Startup (Instagram).

Welcome to After Hours with Hand & Heart. No scripts, a few quips, and most certainly: no bullshit. CW: we discuss abusive work environments, harrassment and bullying. One a personal note from Kate: this is something I wish I'd done throughout the course of last year - but time did not allow it. As the ground is rumbling below the feet of Brewdog and Copenhagen food, it felt like it was time to create a space to have a conversation not only about what is happening, but look back at was has happened. What I hope you as a listener would get from this program, which will be released as and when it is possible to, is thoughtful discussions about nuanced topics. And with that, welcome to the very first episode of After Hours. It's poetic, it's beautiful, it's... the only way it could be, to have Fanny Wandel joining me. Not as a source, but an industry peer, who has seen some shit.

In the final episode of this series about Mikkeller, recorded two months after Episode 10, the company acknowledges and apologises to those affected, and takes a concrete public step to begin a reconciliation program with those affected. - DISCLAIMER: The names of Mikkeller C levels & employees have been changed to placeholder identifiers.

In the last episode of this ten-part series, we reflect on the previous nine. We speak with DR journalist Maja Nyvang Christensen and discuss some takeaways from her investigation, and, as a Dane. We end with final revisions with those who have spoken with us.

We delve deeper into Mikkeller's patterns of communication and engagement, to further understand how survivors and critics have been responded to, and how that may have felt - shining a light on why there has been no resolution.

On this episode talk to people about their experiences during and after the apology, and the arranging of meetings. After apologising for severe harassment and misogyny at Mikkeller - how did the company conduct themselves?

A media offensive backfires for Mikkeller, as they respond to breweries withdrawing from their Mikkeller Beer Celebration Copenhagen - some doing so on the grounds of their lack of accountability and transparency in handling workplace allegations. The Danish press labels the ensuing events a ‘'shitstorm'', and the company ends the week with it's first formal apology and acknowledgment of problems at Mikkeller. We are left to wonder: what if that media offensive had worked?

We revisit the time between the first allegations about Mikkeller's workplaces went out, July 01, 2021 and leading out of the Summer - with witnesses from within the company coming forward to shed some light on this time period of extended silence from Mikkeller.

We hear from a former employee about her experiences working at headquarters, and her direct experiences of harassment.

We continue to hear from John, the employee who began employment in San Diego - and hear what happened during his employment once he had arrived in Copenhagen and worked at Mikkeller Headquarters. We stay at headquarters to hear from Michael, who shares their observations from their employment.

We hear from journalist and contributor to Good Beer Hunting Kate Bernot, revisiting how she came to report on Mikkeller, and how the resulting response from Brienne Allen's ‘'Ratmagnet'' MeToo craft brewing reckoning led her to report out the first public, investigated claims from former employees. It centered these claims around San Diego, so we hear the detailed stories of Megan Stone and Teresa - two former employees featured in Kate Bernot's reporting. Then, a source comes forward, verifying much of what we knew - and providing details about what we did not.

We hear from former employees of the pride Mikkeller establishment, WarPigs - in Copenhagen. We cover a long timeline of repetitive patterns starting with testimony as to how it was being the first employee of the establishment, to how it has been more recently.

We go back to the beginning - of Mikkeller, of these allegations, of who is who and what is what, and everything you'll need to know. Through the eyes of the community and former employees, we get to know Mikkeller. We meet Fanny Wandel, the bar manager and hospitality industry advocate that inadvertently found herself managing a community of people concerned about Mikkeller's working environment, and response to allegations. And, we unravel Mikkeller's first public response to allegations of sexism and harassment in craft brewing - a move that intensified public scrutiny, and brought survivors forward to Fanny Wandel.
