Re: I’m not sexist
This is so true. Being married with a working wife why would you not want work to help close the gap instead of denying it exists. The caveat being that those arguing that there is no gap may either be unmarried or married to women that either do not work or do not work full-time. In these cases a pay gap doesn't seem to exist in their eyes.

Anyways, same job title, description, grade; was consistently 15% less in base pay, incentives than my friends, co-workers, even though I had a better attendance record, outworked most in measurable production reports... And when a disgruntled member showed up to berate someone - guess who was sent to the first floor to take the arse-chewing for someone else careless data entry??? In our department, over 200 associates, about twenty men with all in the same compensation disposition; this included two with seniority over all associates on two floors... Now, self-employed. Want a job? I make an offer and take it or someone else will; it's what I'm willing to pay. Have never forced anyone to take the job I offer... So, I've seen both sides of it... Ultimately, here's the slippery slope when you start legislating anything of this kind, what I like to call legislating behaviour... It's another bolt in the quiver for corrupt big-gov bureaucrats to harass folks that have different politics, neighborhood - regulations are never enforced evenly... Now, some believe it is solely based on race or religion or sex when, in truth, all those are happen-stance to the real discriminator - economic status... That is why majority of white males call BS on the other discriminators because most white males also face an equally up-hill challenge when starting out financially... And resent when other "disenfranchised sub-groups" are "made whole" through affirmative action while they are left to play from behind even further... Want to be enlightened and really get to the truth? Read Hillbilly Elegy by J.D. Vance - the most honest picture of what's really happening in this country... |
It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...

And I was waiting for your input as I knew you are an employer. You have confirmed that willingness to work for a given pay is a major factor in hiring (I am assuming all other factors being equal besides gender, right). It is going to take education on both sides of the fence and, yes, maybe degree of nudging legislation that isn't too over the top. |

Re: I’m not sexist
Nice try bro, but there is no stopping this thread now. But I appreciate your attempt at the humor, I bet none of the people here arguing about this, even saw it.
