The gender pay gap

Balanadan

A girl I know is on far more money than any guy that I know in a similar role. She negotiated very well, in fairness to her, but it is an absolute disgrace that she is earning more than men doing the same job as her!

Time to break the glass on this video again.

Is she hot?

"Similar job" or "same job"?

Anyway, if those men didn't spend so much time down the pub with their mates or going out playing golf, they might earn more money.

Don't worry, she'll start having children and fall behind

The gender gap was invented by self entitled lazy women that think they deserve the same pay for doing half the work of a man

I was told by someone else that I was gender fluid - I had to look it up!!!!!

All I did was ask what Love Island was and said I'd been the match the weekend before. Apparently women must fit into the boxes other women create lol!!

FFS people should be paid on their ability and skill to do the job at hand and not because of what dangles or doesn't dangle between their legs!

I agree it was invented but I wouldn’t necessarily agree that it was invented by lazy women who think they deserve the same pay as men. It’s more a feature of the current wave of feminism we’re going through.

If a woman’s a skilled enough negotiator to secure herself better remuneration than a man, fair play to her. However it goes bothe ways, and a man may equally negotiate himself a better deal than any woman

My workplace is currently doing a "Women on Walls" art thing, pictures of prominent women of the past.

I tried pointing out that every one of them had fought to achieve what they had, they had to be twice as good to be thought of as half as successfl.

Contrast that with another campaign to make it "easier" for women to get into the same industry. Basically reducing every single metric to make mediocrity the new standard.

We've gone backwards as a society and definitely as a gender. Countess Markiewcz has a portrait in my building. Fairly certain she never spent the Rising whining about men like some. That's who we should aspire to.

It's a common theme. Have a look around a few threads. It's probably the same few men in all the threads but they are livid with life. It's pretty sad really.

I love women, and women love me. I just want a fairer, more equal society for all.

Can't wait for when the Premier League clubs release their figures on gender pay gaps. I wonder if all those footballers on millions a year make more than female cleaners and admin staff.

It used to be much easier when men were men and women were women.

You know, back when men just got on with it instead of paying any attention to these silly little notions held by the fairer sex.

Must be something in the drinking water I suppose. The internet alone can’t be responsible for this decline in common sense amongst men.

So seeing as you make that assumptiom about the male posters here its ok for us to assume you are an old spinster living alone since she was rejected by a man many years ago?

More likely between their men’s team versus their women’s team. It’s going to raise its ugly head sooner or later. Never mind the economic rationale behind it.

Gender pay gap doesn't exist.

Sort of related but a couple of weeks ago, our CFO was asked about the gender pay gap in our company. He went on to say they’d looked at it and if anything there was a slight bias towards women.

He also said that “we have more women in our group than men so we’re obviously smarter than most other groups.”

To be fair, it was tongue in cheek and he didn’t mean any harm but I thought it was incredibly stupid to say it in public. Had he reversed the genders, there would have been uproar.

Comes across as being kind of patronising towards women also.
