Google Found it Paid Men Less Than Women For the Same Job (techcrunch.com)
An anonymous reader shares a report: The story we're used to hearing is that women get paid less than men. In Google's case, according to its own internal pay audit, it turned out male-identified Level 4 Software Engineers received less money than women in that same role. That led to Google paying $9.7 million to adjust pay for 10,677 employees. It's not clear how many of the employees who received pay adjustments were men but Google does cite the underpaying of men as a reason for why the company paid more in adjustments for 2018 than in 2017. But The New York Times reports men received a disproportionately higher percentage of the money.
That's hilarious. I guess you haven't bothered looking at the degree distribution in computer science and STEM more broadly.
Paying everyone the same amount for the same job reeks of communism. One person could be a better "Level 4 Software Engineer" than another. I've seen this time and again.
Yep. Equality of outcome (women 50%) is stupid, because why draw the line there; what about black women, what about transgender black women what about mexicans, you can slice and dice it forever. Why IT, what about concreters or nursing?
The Scandinavians have already shown, that when you try your hardest to have equality of the sexes, the LESS women do STEM, not because they don't have the brains, but because they would rather have social jobs rather than 'things' jobs.
