They explore the impact of power, privilege, and purpose in these organizations and question why it took so long for the truth to come to light. Kami & Ishreen delve into the three intersecting elements of relative privilege that allowed these organizations to perpetuate their harmful behavior for so long: power, information, and wealth. Listeners gain insights into the consequences of unchecked privilege and the importance of creating a culture of inclusion and fairness in the workplace. KEY TAKEAWAYS The Privilege Eruption podcast explores the impact of power, privilege, and purpose in the workplace and aims to create a culture of inclusion for all. This episode discusses the ticking time bomb that has exploded in organizations like the post office and Fujitsu, highlighting the emotional, reputational, and financial trauma caused to innocent sub-postmasters. The explosion of the ticking time bomb in organizations has been long overdue and is a result of power and privilege being used to dominate and neglect the well-being of staff, associates, and the supply chain. Kami & Ishreen identify three intersecting elements of relative privilege that enabled the post office and Fujitsu to prolong the trauma experienced by sub-postmasters. The post office case highlights the relative privilege of power, information, and wealth, which were used to maintain control, deny wrongdoing, and protect the interests of those in positions of authority. BEST MOMENTS "The privilege eruption is happening, it's causing massive change, and the ticking time bomb has exploded for those organizations that have chosen to sweep it under the carpet." "This stands out as a one-off example of a privilege eruption actually happening right in front of us, and we're seeing it, and it's been erupting for some time." "The interesting thing from a power perspective is just think about it. Think about the individuals and the types of people, the personas, if you like, of people who apply to become sub-postmasters." "The power thing was no win. And the only way to proceed with that argument is if you were then entering into that discussion with no integrity or moral obligations." "The people with the power said, yeah, we're the judge, so we have the power to judge you as wrong. I mean that in itself. And we have the relative privilege of having our own reality."
