While discussing how #VannaWhite was able to secure an extended #WheelofFortune contract, #HodaKotb reflected on experiencing pay disparity early on in her career. She said asking for a raise is one of “the hardest things for women to do.”⁠ ⁠ She believes she was the “lowest paid correspondent” while working for #Dateline from 1998 to 2007, since pay inequality was “pretty clear at the time.” Kotb remembered thinking to herself, “I can’t pay my bills here, and “knew for years” she was making a fraction of what her male co-anchors were making, but never asked because she “didn't want to be difficult."⁠ ⁠ Link in bio.⁠ ⁠ ✏️: Pencil⁠ 📷: Getty
