Enjoy this season two re-run with Deb JJ Lee and stay tuned to the end for an update on how she's doing. Season four of Well..Adjusting launches on March 19th!

Deb got lowballed by a prestigious and flush-with-cash company (we’re talking net worth in the billions). When they spoke out about it on social media, they were nearly canceled—which brought up the question: how do you fight for a fair rate? And when is it okay to speak publicly about an employer?
