Our favorite family quarantine pastime (watching Bon Appetit videos) has come to an abrupt (yet unfortunately in hindsight not surprising) end when earlier this week it was made known that they had been not compensating their BIPOC staff the same amount as their white staff. Sohla led the outcry – turns out she was not paid for any video appearances. We’ve been Sohla fans for a long time (meaning since the start of the quarentine), I hope she ends up getting her own show or running a food empire.
Jeremy’s work is also going through a similar thing, I suspect many places of work are taking a hard look at their staffing and compensation right now.
That’s a good thing.
