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.
Oh sure now that the ladies are making more.
It is impossible to draw any conclusions from these figures without knowing the XX/XY chromosome distribution among the male-identified cohort.
85% of job applicants are men
75% of people hired at a certain Fortune 100 company are female, by policy, at certain levels (Grade 8 and above).
Result: that's the only tech company that hit their "diversity" goal early, by discriminating against men.
SJW: a person who perceives an injustice, and while correcting it, commits a greater injustice.
Except men don't get any "special treatment". Especially white men. White males, as a group are the only group that it is legal to discriminate against, all other things being equal.
