Google finds out its underpaying men while they were trying to pay women more for “equity”

Sir_Sux_Alot · 2019-07-10T15:08:17+00:00

The evidence says men are underpaid- we are going to ignore that and claim the scope wasn't wide enough.

BlueBlood75 · 2019-07-10T16:31:31+00:00

Probably happened bc the women weren’t underpaid in the first place

Drekalo · 2019-07-10T16:42:13+00:00

Women aged 25 - 35 on the average earn 15% more for equal work.

TheNotoriousKing · 2019-07-10T17:11:37+00:00

Notice how no feminist complains about this. Just goes to prove feminism was never about equality it’s about female supremacy.

TheChocolateFash · 2019-07-10T17:10:16+00:00

Wage equity is simply injustice unless you assume all people have equal work value

retardo85 · 2019-07-10T15:30:56+00:00

they are so woke

AmAttorneyPleaseHire · 2019-07-10T17:17:43+00:00

This is old news, but I wonder if Google has taken steps to fix this since it came out. I’m interested to see if that’s ever publicized or brought to anyone’s attention.

DubsPackage · 2019-07-10T17:04:30+00:00

The "pay gap" is probably reverse

I bet women get paid more than men per hour at most corporations.

But the men just work more hours so they might earn more.

Downvotesohoy · 2019-07-10T19:31:22+00:00

So, to fix a non-existent wage gap, they created an actual wage gap? Good job, SJW idiots.

EightBitLoxs · 2019-07-10T16:17:27+00:00

fuck equity

Ransal · 2019-07-10T21:03:59+00:00

The feminists behind these "initiatives" know they're underpaying men, they genuinely believe it's "fair" to pay men less for the same work because they "think" Men do it to women.

Dalinair · 2019-07-10T17:01:31+00:00

The very large company where I work also found exactly the same thing, men were being paid less than women.

chriz_1012 · 2019-07-10T17:23:33+00:00

Can spare the link to this article? Please and thanks

DrMacintosh01 · 2019-07-10T17:22:30+00:00

Duh. Men are more likely to seek out high end and higher end corporate positions which will bring the average pay for men up. This means that the women are doing lower level positions and should be making less money as a result.

The wage gap doesn’t exist like you think it does. Men get paid more because they do harder work and seek out management positions.

BlueOrange22 · 2019-07-10T15:15:40+00:00

Because looking an the average value doesn’t reflect wages for the majority of workers. A few board members and CEOs can distort the average and drive it up. Taking the mean wages of the whole company doesn’t work; the 3 or 4 billionaires at the top affect the average, but the mid level male and female employees earn the same.

Electroverted · 2019-07-10T17:15:45+00:00

"Uhhh... ummm... EQUITY!"

Canisluous1558 · 2019-07-10T17:36:04+00:00

What broader issues of gender equality? Women are getting paid more. I wonder what its like to have life set to easy mode.

AgVargr · 2019-07-10T16:55:39+00:00

So, right on track then?

DepravedWalnut · 2019-07-10T20:37:25+00:00

The wage gap was a lie. And now it seems like it was a ploy to give women way more for less/same work.

ImpartialLight · 2019-07-10T21:58:35+00:00

The literal definition of gender discrimination

MaxStories · 2019-07-10T22:55:52+00:00

post this to r feminism and watch as you get banned lol

cringeg0d69 · 2019-07-10T23:42:38+00:00

Wait, that’s illegal

chambertlo · 2019-07-11T00:09:00+00:00

You mean feminism lied again? Say it isn’t so!!!!

TheChronographer · 2019-07-11T00:21:36+00:00

A similar thing happen is Australian government jobs. They found that even though the majority of employees were women, the higher up the ranks you went there were more men ergo there must be discrimination. The solution was simple, have a system of anonymising resumes/CVs of people applying for promotions. This was put into place as a trial. The result was that men were promoted even more, there actually was a strong positive female bias, unsurprising as the APS is very female dominated.

The most obvious sexism came from the feminist/'diversity coordinators' response. "Well this anonymising system is very fair but because men are benefitting we will call the trial a failure and go back to the known biased method which was benefitting women, which was our goal."

Running_Gamer · 2019-07-11T02:52:04+00:00

I’m attending university this fall. It really pisses me off knowing that if I get the same grades as any random girl, that girl will be preferred over me because she’s a woman. I want to go to law school as well. Knowing how selective the top ranked ones are and how they treat what they call: “under represented minorities (URM)” I now have to work my fucking ass off even harder than the top 98% do just because I’m a straight white male. How the fuck is this any different than discriminating against black people in the 50s. Anyone who says they’re at a disadvantage for being black in 2019 is not living in the same reality I am. And it’s even more ridiculous that you’re treated as a racist/sexist/homophobe for saying this shit in general. How many times do I have to say I’m not racist? It was pretty well known that I was a conservative at my old, predominantly liberal high school. (I never debated anyone like crazy or anything, I just would post on social media sometimes about politics.) I’ve been called the typical pejoratives like “racist” “psychopath” and “sexist.” My favorite one was that I was a “danger to all women” (like what the fuck. I’m a scrawny 5”4 18 year old but okay 😂😂) It’s not hateful to want equality regardless of your identity. The men at google should file a lawsuit for whatever law it was that made it illegal to pay the sexes differently. I wouldn’t be surprised if the courts don’t side with them though.

T4mvv1lc0xx · 2019-07-11T04:30:29+00:00

Gender pay gap was always a manutactured crisis. Employees,by default, are gender-neutral. You're paid according to your output. Nothing else

Setari · 2019-07-11T05:29:10+00:00

Fucking pay the position not the gender. What the fuck.

A_one_legged_man · 2019-07-10T19:29:16+00:00

I encourage everyone to live with out Google as much as possible. The amount of data they can collect on you is insane. If you have a Google account, I recommend you edit what data they collect and how long they can keep.

ToastFishy · 2019-07-10T17:31:24+00:00

i still dont understand this shit. if you are getting paid unfairly sue 'em for all theyre worth, if you arent then you arent. there is no losing, this goes for both genders and all races

UsernameTed · 2019-07-10T22:00:49+00:00

Men underpaid, women most affected.

TuckerMcInnes · 2019-07-11T03:33:50+00:00

This is also on the front page of the BBC.

Oh it's not.

Why?

Because it doesn't fit in to their agenda that women are being victimized.

AtemAndrew · 2019-07-10T20:54:42+00:00

I have a feeling this is going to turn out like that Australian resume study.

GoDM1N · 2019-07-10T22:40:56+00:00

Can someone explain why the whole "You're comparing total earnings, not individual salaries" rarely comes up and never really addressed when it is?

exonerate-me · 2019-07-11T01:31:11+00:00

The whole lesson is that you need to identify as female while you're out job searching

JLb0498 · 2019-07-10T17:13:20+00:00

Jesus Christ, Google is so annoying with their fake feminism, fake LGBT support, literally promoting liberal views over other views in their search results, and now this bullshit. It's so obvious that they only care about to making money off of these women and nothing else.

thanoskingdom · 2019-07-10T18:24:07+00:00

Exactly. Men do all the real work. Women get fluff jobs and then complain about not getting paid enough.

I'm sure Google will find a way to ignore their factual findings and give women raises.

IamshinyCatchme · 2019-07-10T22:02:06+00:00

It hurt itself in it's confusion!

gatonato · 2019-07-10T18:06:19+00:00

Here we go, it's coming to a full circle now

mosham126 · 2019-07-10T19:20:38+00:00

Oh what basis is it under-paying? Like is this actual discrimination or are there underlying factors where this is just wage gap bs but with an uno reverse card kinda twist to it where it applies to men and not women.

mosham126 · 2019-07-10T19:25:03+00:00

Can someone explain to me what the whole pay equity stuff is. I looked it up and it just seems to be about same wages/pay for the same work but people in the comments section seem to be... not in favour of it.

ank_the_elder · 2019-07-10T21:03:58+00:00

It’s Tootsie time, bitches! Who can help me with the dress?

TC1827 · 2019-07-10T23:20:23+00:00

Well yeah. Female hormonal privilege at work.

SharedRegime · 2019-07-10T23:24:25+00:00

I just talked about this with someone yesterday on this very subreddit.

Signa-cat · 2019-07-11T03:06:28+00:00

It says more men than women were underpaid. Could this be because they hire more men than women? Guess that’s why they set it up like that instead of using percentages of men and women in their findings. But that’s none of my business.

NephiIIima · 2019-07-10T23:12:11+00:00

I don’t understand why underpaying men is necessary. Just don’t underpay women....

Drews232 · 2019-07-11T03:45:59+00:00

Look at me!

I’m the underpaid gender now!

leftajar · 2019-07-10T18:42:40+00:00

Well, duh. On average, women don't work as hard. Additionally, due to different IQ standard deviations, there aren't as many super-smart women as men.

Of course, Google is super-Left radical egalitarianism, so they have to artificially pump up female employment and salary numbers to fit the desired oppression narrative.

Frankly, I'm surprised they even had the honesty to admit this payment discrepancy.

joshTheGoods · 2019-07-10T22:28:49+00:00

You guys might want to actually read the articles and Google's post about this...

Our pay equity analysis ensures that compensation is fair for employees in the same job, at the same level, location and performance. But we know that’s only part of the story. Because leveling, performance ratings, and promotion impact pay, this year, we are undertaking a comprehensive review of these processes to make sure the outcomes are fair and equitable for all employees.

So, it's possible that Google isn't leveling women fairly, but that they are paying people within levels fairly.

I'm sure nuance will go over real well in these parts, though ... bring on the thoughtful responses!

Svenskbtch · 2019-07-10T18:12:36+00:00

This cannot be surprising. If you want more women and draw from a limited supply pool, the only way to get them is to pay more. Basic economics (and arguably basic common sense).

On the other hand, I find it hard to get riled up about the plight of one of the most privileged groups in the world. Starting salaries for 22 year old Stanford engineers often pass the 200 k mark. The Bay Area is expensive, I know, but I am working with countries where a third of the population has to get by on less than 2 dollars a day.
