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.

    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.

    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.

    I like you style of the fake news reason there. It not make sense, too funny come from the privilege white male. When you tried this out the diversion within find '27 genders' nice try we see right through what you try did there. This a pathetic remark and we some day see people like you apologize for made the terrible assumption male is better and eurocentric world view make any sense. We needed the legislation (via Congress or Pariliament) formally require apology of men to all other genders for minoritization, then we talk about reparation once the confession be. Your days of power-commander numbered! Be careful where you treaded.
