discriminating on pay for the same job is against the law

2018-01-08 23:36:41 UTC  

(i assume) google is doing company wide statistics rather than on the job type

2018-01-08 23:36:55 UTC  

the widest

2018-01-08 23:37:05 UTC  

and even job type isn't fine grain enough to discover discrimination

2018-01-08 23:37:34 UTC  

this is middleschool level regression

2018-01-08 23:37:37 UTC  

It's probably the pay statistics for each individual job. Wouldn't make sense otherwise

2018-01-08 23:37:40 UTC  

its not, experience, education, working hours, output, etc are all variables

2018-01-08 23:38:22 UTC  

my wife is a stay at home mom that does photography on the side, she makes a few grand a year... PAY GAP IS REAL

2018-01-08 23:39:03 UTC  

obviously the court system is going to go even more detailed than that (actually dissecting their hiring and pay practices rather than just looking at statistics) , google probably just said it for PR

2018-01-08 23:39:26 UTC  

I mean I don't doubt Google pays fairly

2018-01-08 23:40:36 UTC  

they have the money to work on several large open source projects which have little to no ROI by themselves

2018-01-08 23:41:04 UTC  

so i don't doubt they have the room to discriminate

2018-01-08 23:42:03 UTC  

The discrimination he's talking about is probably more about socially in the workplace and projects the people in question are assigned to you know

2018-01-08 23:42:26 UTC  

rather than pay directly

2018-01-08 23:43:29 UTC  

wait wait wait.... but the investigation was because of the memo where it was stated they were favoring women and minorities, not the other way around

2018-01-08 23:43:47 UTC  

so it was a "fixing" the pay gap issue

2018-01-08 23:44:12 UTC  

Yeah which would be discriminating against white conservative males I think was the point

2018-01-08 23:44:22 UTC  

The pay gap issue which is all hot gas

2018-01-08 23:44:39 UTC  

not white male conservatives, white people, males, and conservatives

2018-01-08 23:44:56 UTC  

close enough

2018-01-08 23:45:03 UTC  

the article diddnt really address that and just bundled them all into the same category

2018-01-08 23:45:14 UTC  

I believe in capitalism. Wouldn't the guys being discriminated be leaving the company by themselves?

2018-01-08 23:45:32 UTC  

What do you mean

2018-01-08 23:45:55 UTC  

I mean, I'm quitting my job next month because they pay me shit while another guy that doesn't do shit earns 3 times my salary

2018-01-08 23:46:06 UTC  

wouldn't it balance out?

2018-01-08 23:46:11 UTC  

because working for google with the high pay, good benefeits, free food, etc is worth putting up with mildly sexist and racist managment

2018-01-08 23:46:40 UTC  

if they want to pay more to women for less work, that's their problem

2018-01-08 23:46:41 UTC  

It's not about the definitive by hour paycheck

2018-01-08 23:47:07 UTC  

hmm.. so is it on the benefits?

2018-01-08 23:47:09 UTC  

i mean that's up to managment

2018-01-08 23:47:24 UTC  

you can't really objectively determine how hard someone is working

2018-01-08 23:47:47 UTC  

they do have performance metrics at google, so it's not completely subjective

2018-01-08 23:47:52 UTC  

its probably about the ratios of projects the group in question are assigned to and general social climate of the workplace among other things

2018-01-08 23:48:05 UTC  

thats what I gathered. my care for the issue is sort of dwindling

2018-01-08 23:48:22 UTC  

and you can scroll through someone's commits and get a consistent estimate on how much they are contributing

2018-01-09 00:21:29 UTC  

Just a reminder if you have windows 10 Pro N then you support the KKK

2018-01-09 02:54:36 UTC  

the poster or the president?

2018-01-09 02:56:40 UTC  

Poster

2018-01-09 02:57:25 UTC  

Definitely didn’t sound like booing. Also pretty sure I heard chants of “USA” near the end.

2018-01-09 03:00:43 UTC  

I heard lots of cheers but I also heard a few boos as well
