I'm ecstatic she found a better-paying career, and I fully support that decision.

2020-11-29 16:14:00 UTC  

Same company... They were just bought out.

2020-11-29 16:14:54 UTC  

@TaLoN132 that's for everyone male or female...

2020-11-29 16:14:58 UTC  

How much less did she make?

2020-11-29 16:15:02 UTC  

5% less?

2020-11-29 16:15:07 UTC  

25% less?

2020-11-29 16:15:37 UTC  

I think women are unjustly underpaid, on the whole. I just don't think you can safely legislate in a way that doesn't jack up the labor market. Sucks but the cure is worse than the disease. Cultural change is needed and it's inching in the right direction all the time.

2020-11-29 16:16:00 UTC  

I also think it's wildly exaggerated by misrepresenting statistics.

2020-11-29 16:16:08 UTC  

I think the wage gap is maybe 5%.

2020-11-29 16:17:03 UTC  

There is a lot of misrepresenting/misapplying statistics these days. It's a cancer.

2020-11-29 16:17:14 UTC  

Gives ammo

Wage gap stats are always presented in a political/mischievous way I don’t trust them. It may exist and some psychology supports that but I haven’t done the analysis myself and I don’t trust the politicians

More like half... They would hire in a "big shot" CFO for twice what she was paid, but she did most of the work. They'd leave after a year or so and she would step in - continuing without missing a beat... Until they hired a new big shot.

2020-11-29 16:19:03 UTC  

That's pretty ridiculous if true.

2020-11-29 16:19:18 UTC  

I'm not aware of all the variables, but I certainly understand your concern.

2020-11-29 16:20:03 UTC  

@TaLoN132 That is by no means isolated to women. It's an extremely common practice, especially when you're preparing to sell. It can take a while.

2020-11-29 16:20:05 UTC  

Don't get me wrong, I think women should be paid equally.

2020-11-29 16:20:13 UTC  

No ands-ifs-or-buts about it.

2020-11-29 16:20:28 UTC  

Like I said anecdotal, but in male dominated professions, women are often treated poorly.

2020-11-29 16:20:41 UTC  

Everyone should be paid based on their productivity and merit

2020-11-29 16:20:52 UTC  

And that's illegal last I checked, @TaLoN132

2020-11-29 16:20:54 UTC  

Nothing else

2020-11-29 16:21:25 UTC  

It's paying for the position. You can get away with someone doing the work to get by and bypass having to recognize the position. Happens every day to both genders.

2020-11-29 16:21:42 UTC  

For real.

2020-11-29 16:21:55 UTC  

<------ victim of that many times

2020-11-29 16:22:05 UTC  

@Zuluzeit The humble farmer grows the crop, the merchant sells it, how do you cut the pay fairly?

2020-11-29 16:22:31 UTC  

I spent 25 000 dollars of fake money on stocks. Randomly picked a company called siltronic. They have gone nothing but up since, so far up 52 percent. Still have no real clue who they are

2020-11-29 16:22:38 UTC  

@Maw Easy. Socialism. Welcome aboard, buddy!

2020-11-29 16:22:42 UTC  

Lol.

2020-11-29 16:23:05 UTC  

@Maw stop living in the past. Women deserve equal pay

2020-11-29 16:23:09 UTC  

Pounding hot rivets for Fun and Profit, tough field glad I am not involved.

2020-11-29 16:23:10 UTC  

We will soon have vertical farming with robot farmers

2020-11-29 16:23:30 UTC  

>Don't get me wrong, I think women should be paid equally.
I literally just said this.

2020-11-29 16:23:31 UTC  

Not if they don't give you the title... It all worked out in the end I suppose, but I should be living on easy street being spoiled by my slightly younger, way out of my league sugar momma right now - had she been paid like the men.

2020-11-29 16:23:49 UTC  

They will pick and package produce that will immediately get sent by a amazon drone to your house

2020-11-29 16:23:51 UTC  

Daily

2020-11-29 16:24:34 UTC  

Stop accusing me of the position you want to associate with me.

2020-11-29 16:24:49 UTC  

This is what we call strawmen.

@TaLoN132 Atta boy! That's what I'm talking about right there.
