0:00 [Music] there is a woman that's a white woman yeah who has been awarded more than 2.7 million dollars in compensation after she discovered a male colleague with the same job title and responsibilities was earning fifty four thousand dollars more than she was way too whoa don't like that wait two point what million which part do you not like how she got paid so much yeah why don't you get that it's absurd but does it got 2.7 million in compensation does the article say how long each has been at the job i don't ask those kinds of questions i i try to just go like i believe the woman

0:50 you know what i'm saying because you're supposed to progressively i ████ with you bro thank you bro progressive man so stacy mackin reported a culture of sex discrimination victimization and unequal pay at french bank bnp paribas where she worked as a prime financial specialist mackin has now won the 2.7 million dollars in compensation which is one of the largest awards ever made by a british tribunal probably because a man lawyer helper get that money wait it's a french bank trial in britain uh so it's a french bank in britain i guess so i don't know is this something where they just do such an enormous sum just to scare the ████ out of everybody i'm like hey don't do this ████ like is that what it's about because like there's no way she actually realized two point whatever the ████ million dollars worth of damage is like that's so hard for me to get my head around maybe it's a scale over time

1:41 have to work what if she's the difference was 54 000 she'd have to work what 40 years unless it's like emotional damage well actually this is trial tried in uk and europe right is it uk yeah so they have different um laws when it comes to limits and statutes for uh suing so it's they don't they're not sue happy like the u.s because it's not that profitable out there in the same manner so she probably had a really tight case for someone to pick it up and go like dude you you clearly were 2.6 huh so judge emma burns claimed mackin's male bosses acted spitefully and vindictively and increased her compensation because the bank failed to apologize to her the banker was hired by bnp paribus on a salary of 160 000 in 2013 following her role as vice president at deutsche bank she later

2:32 discovered a male recruit was hired with the same job title and responsibilities but paid 216 000 wow okay i take it all back deutsche bank is a ████ joke anyway they had they had multiple vice presidents let them pay what do you know about deutsche bank deutsche bank dude they've been so fraudulent over the years they're doing bags you should look it up joyce bank is a ████ joke 100 so wait that sounds like a german big it's a french bank that sounds german that's in the uk it may have been a german bank and then a french company bought them following so confusing following her role as vice president at deutsche bank so she was a vice president there and then got hired by bnp parabus okay so she's at bmp okay okay she's abby she got poached okay and then her male counterpart was being paid 216 000

3:23 relatively speaking this is all in pounds but obviously i'm giving the calculations yeah this is like hollywood when the female actresses are like the pay gap right yeah i want to be paid like my male co-star the thing is in hollywood i don't know why they never explained this in any of the articles but like let's say like um bart's an actor and i'm an actor and joe's an actor and um bart started before we did he started like year before and then joe started six months before i did and then i i started uh the latest if we go for a job bart's gonna get paid the most because he has the most experience so it's not a gender thing it's not a gender thing it's about it's not it's not a project's thing like let's say i have like way more on my imdb they do it by hour so they do it by experience so like let's say you have like five credits under your belt you every time you work you get paid a little bit more unless you're you're the minimum that's how the union works so

4:13 you get paid a little bit more and then now what i know some women they have merits and their complaints that oh like we're getting paid less in market value okay that's a little bit different but to say like i need to get paid like my male co-stars now if you've been working longer than your male co-stars then yes you should be getting actually more than your middle co-stars because it's based on your last rate and they'll base it so if you work from tv to future films they'll tabulate the hours you work in tv and then they'll in future films it's like a month as opposed to like nine months so they'll divide it and be like okay this is what you should be getting paid but if a woman just started and then she said i want to get paid equal to my meal co-star and my clothes are 70. that's just greedy that's just greed right there that's not the way it's not gender at all it's just like it's like an intern coming in and they want to get paid as much as the ceo because they're like yo the the male ceo gets this much and i'm a female intern

5:04 yeah actually we imagine well you have to hold the same role in response this is like the crazy ridge asian script script thing you know what i'm talking about what was that there was a partnership um with the script of crazy rich asians and then like um they were negotiating for the sequel oh the writer wasn't getting paid as much one of the writers wasn't getting paid much but like exactly you're talking about it's similar one of them had more way more under their belt than you when you're a new writer they don't need to pay you like 300 000 or a million dollars because you're new yeah your your awesome like credit is that you have a credit now for lack of a better word so when it's a new rider and they're like well look the success of the movie is great okay but it's not it's not um it's not forced upon production companies to pay you more just because your first movie did well they they can but they don't have to you know um if you like it'd be like this it'd be like if i as an actor i get

5:54 into a movie with julia roberts and she's a female lead i'm the male lead and then i'm like hey but i want to get paid 20 million dollars just like julia roberts makes no sense i know that's an extreme example but no you just get one make out you're the male lead you're gonna love scene with her anyway you ████ pay for this ████ exactly give me a break i want to see you in a movie with julia roberts awesome she is at least humping her in a bed with a sheet over here forget forgetting notting hill which is kind of into julia roberts as most people oh you're wrong have you seen her legs yeah dude oh yeah i didn't realize that that's what i should have had have you seen her in mystic pizza no have you seen her and erin brockovich dude yes thank you you gotta watch miss thank you and and annabelle who's your julia roberts she looks great in a hooker outfit oh yeah

6:46 yeah actually wasn't her body no get the ████ out it was a body double in the poster i still liked it in the movie i guess i don't have the standards that you have walter's like i don't know about the movie but the poster yeah who's your julia roberts uh is julia roberts like your number one in hollywood oh no but she's just hot she's like like a timeless beautiful lady charlize stan okay yeah she's a good-looking she's a girl she's a little bit of a dump but i get it all right so for you then so for you let's say i was in a movie with charlize theron and she was getting 15 million i can't ask for 15 million as my first movie i mean you should just for you because that's a man you should i totally get in terms of the credits thing i was just genuinely like everybody was like julie and i was like oh okay cool i mean so you so you like you like charlize from

7:37 monster is that no he said that no that's like anything he said that's what they said i don't mind shortly staring from reindeer games great deer games of all movies john frankenheimer's topic yeah oh she was thank you mad max she was hot as ████ mad now she was hot as ████ even with shaved head come on now even covered in dirt and ████ oh yeah but she had no arm and so that was kind of weird that was possibly hot all right so back to this mackin also claimed she was exposed to a culture of sexist behavior escalated by one of her bosses matt pinock his former p.a georgina chapman told the tribunal of an occasion in which a black witch's hat was left on mackin's desk after their team had gone drinking one afternoon that's some ████ up ████ that's it upon returning to work the next morning mac and asked chapman if she knew what had happened to which she replied i told her that i did not know but i suspected it was one of the drunk

8:28 team members because they were the only people in that area of the office the evening before well she doesn't even know bro how catholic do you have to be to care about a witch's hat dude you're like dude a witch's hat oh my ████ god that's that's a bad omen dude i just thought that was an interesting part of the way is it the halloween one the one with the colors yeah that's ████ crooked a little bit i understand the 2.6 million now well i gotta say ever since he said deutsche bank dude google jeffrey epstein deutsche bank money laundering deutsche bank had to pay a huge fine because they were helping funnel jeffrey epstein's ████ sex trafficking operation oh that's why that name sounds so familiar and they were down they don't give a ████ they're down thanks don't worry about it look at wells fargo you know they were setting up people for uh accounts that they never asked for what you didn't know oh that was huge

9:18 they got there so basically like you open a checking account savings account they're like oh but you also want this account that account but they wouldn't ask you they'll just sign you up for and it's costing money well it was it was more so because or based off what i saw it was more so because um think of it as like sales and quotas everybody that they had hired in their bank their television stuff they said you had to reach a certain type of quota in terms of opening new credit cards like fannie mae and freddie mac like give me a break yeah so then people who like weren't hitting their quotas and were afraid to get fired because they would also hire like a bunch of like minorities and stuff that wouldn't be able to get hired at other banks or whatnot but those people had to hit quotas so they started signing up like their own parents they're on this they're on that right and then once they ran out of people to like sign up because you only have so many people pyramid scams exactly that's exactly so then they started looking up like dead people and random people to open up accounts for so but i i think that's that's a wells fargo

10:09 pr move because it's from the top down basically they're telling them dude just because go ahead would do because i think congress people ask how do you not know don't claim you don't you didn't know it's your bank it's still your responsibility so they were fined three billion dollars okay where that money goes have no clue they have three billion but then because of um our former supreme leaders corporate tax break they um saved five billion dollars that year whoa so for them like we made two bills they made two billion so banking when they get fined when they get in trouble they're like okay that's cool wow like it's a loss this year but it's fine hey look all i know is when i put my money in the bank they use my money to make ten percent no matter what and then you know they give me nothing so it feels good you know you you know you get point zero zero zero one i think

10:59 that's pretty good so it feels good no they're progressing 0.05 nowadays and then people go how you guys think you're making all this magic money crypto and i'm like oh no no my money's being used to make money and i'm getting a cut of it for once actually ████ it's not a matter because we are the bank ████ that's it and then people also click their heels together they go wow did you hear my credit card's gonna give me one percent cash back that's ████ it's a magic trick isn't it they're giving you they'll just give you a little scrap because they're they're using money to make 1.5 capital one yeah meanwhile they're charging you ten dollars for a transaction that's right did you guys see that letter i got they're like congratulations you get a high interest credit card i mean a a savings account at .025 percent that is high for them point zero two five percent they're like

11:49 cut the plebs in give them point two five percent they'll think it's great i bet you gotta pre-qualify for that.025 just just keep 10 million in there and you'll be good yeah you'll be fine hey dude when you when you're like 75 years old and you can retire you're going to be living life you
