About this episode

The episode discusses the gender pay gap in negotiations, vaping regulations in the UAE, a scam victim's story, and luxury industry practices.

A recent study by the Rockwool Foundation Berlin shows men successfully use outside job offers to get pay raises in their current roles while women see no such gains and usually just quit to get a raise.  Authorities and doctors in the UAE have been warning that what looks like an ordinary vape could be hiding other prohibited substances.   Meet Gen - sadly, another scam victim. Hear her story. And did you know why there's a practice of destroying unsold items in the luxury industry? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
