Microsoft Improves Efforts To Offer Equal Pay For Equal Work To Its Employees (windowscentral.com)

An anonymous reader writes: One day before National Equal Pay Day, Microsoft has provided a new update on its efforts to provide equal pay for equal work for all of its employees. Kathleen Hogan, Microsoft's Executive Vice-President for Human Resources, wrote in a blog post: "Today, for every $1 earned by men, our female employees in the U.S. earn 99.8 cents at the same job title and level. Racial and ethnic minorities in the U.S. combined earn $1.004 for every $1 earned by their Caucasian counterparts. Breaking it down even further, African American/black employees are at $1.003; Hispanic/Latino(a) employees are at 99.9 cents; and Asian employees are at $1.006 for every $1 earned by Caucasian employees at the same job title and level, respectively." Hogan said she is "encouraged by these results" and that Microsoft will continue to monitor the data and publicly disclose it as part of Microsoft's annual public diversity and inclusion information and data reporting. "Our announcement today is another step forward along the path of greater diversity and inclusion progress at Microsoft, and in society as a whole. Along with our industry peers, the mission of landing intentional, enduring and impactful diversity and inclusion initiatives is one will we continue to pursue vigilantly."

Riiiiight,

Um yes? I've frequently been accused of being an "SJW" and have frequently written such things. So sure if you ignore everyone who says something that co0ntradicts you then no one contradicts you! Neat-o.

just like all the 70's feminist who ran around demanding that women be drafted into the Vietnam War: zero.

The stupid... it burns.

It's quite remarkable how much dumbassery you managed to cram into a scant 19 words.

Plenty of self-identified feminists protested AGAINST the vietnam war. It would have been idiotic to advocate for women to be sent off to the slaughter like men, when the option was instead to advocate that men weren't sent off to the slaughter just like women. The thing is that actually fits your worldview even worse because then those evil feminists were advocating on behalf of men to get one of the "privileges" that women had.

Go over to Jezebel and say buttkiss about a negative stereotype against men

I have literally no idea what you mean.
