Female BBC manager publicly declines promotion over pay inequality | After she threw a public tantrum, it's revealed that the male manager had several years more experience than her, justifying the difference in pay. The BBC is standing firm for once - good for them!

“Roger has worked at or above this level for several years whereas Karen was offered this role as a promotion, with a significant pay increase. We think most people would understand that these factors would result in some difference between their individual pay,” he said.

They are either naive or are playing ignorant of Karen's true intention which is obviously public intimidation in the hopes of getting an even higher up promotion she really isn't qualified to fill. If they cave they will have a dozen more lawsuits and end up with a board of directors made up of inexperienced young women who are way overpaid.

Hey remember when Google investigated the "wage gap" internally and found that they had been underpaying MEN for years?

abacabbmk · 2019-05-22T18:31:55+00:00

Me and this girl are managers.

Both same qualifications. We both started at the same wage. She has been here one year more. Therefore currently earns 3% more than I do.

WaGe InEqUaLiTy!!!!!!!!!!!

Yesterday I commented on how my dad earlier this year works with a chick who at the time only worked for less than a year yet she was asking for an increase in pay to be that of a guy who is not only the supervisor but also worked there for 15 years. She was justifying the raise because she wouldnt have rent to pay to for her expensive downtown apartment.

They said: ‘You always tell us to stand up for what is right. If it means less pocket money or not going on holiday, we don’t mind. What matters to us is that when we grow up we want to be paid the same as a man for the same job.’ And just like that, my decision was made.”

A 7 and a 13 year old said that... yeah, of course, i'm gonna call bullshit on that.

The wage gap myth is a mass psychosis.

She has those red flag eyes.

I feel bad for people who can't contain the insanity within their souls to the point that it blares through their eyes.

DrunkWino · 2019-05-22T18:21:04+00:00

Funny how even the most woke crowd suddenly flip when their money gets involved

2019-05-22T18:35:10+00:00

Of course, her name is Karen. Always Karen.

giverous · 2019-05-22T17:47:35+00:00

But still running a cucked article on their homepage sympathising with her.

The editors of BBC News are now a bunch of crazy, bitter feminists and they’re trying to put pressure on management.

Also mentioned in their cucked article is how she is a single mother - apparently we’re meant to sympathise with her because of this. All that means from a pay perspective is that she’s probably going to work less hours and expect the same pay as her male counterpart.

Maikhist · 2019-05-23T01:22:18+00:00

That’s a hella verbose seven year old

Vault_0_dweller · 2019-05-22T18:03:42+00:00

Sorry they don't think you just starting amounts to years of experience, loyalty, and quarterly raises. The fuck.

Soyboy- · 2019-05-22T17:56:01+00:00

She turned the job down because of this shit - it's unbelievable the entitled attitude.

Single mother too - think we all know what the kid probably looks like.

Edit: Jesus Christ, these responses. 'errbody racist yo! Remember, if only you can hear the 'dogwhistle' then maybe you're the dog?

PM_ME_DEM_TEDDIES · 2019-05-22T22:09:15+00:00

I know multiple people (of both sexes) doing the same job as me and I'm making $15,000 more. It's not about gender or experience, it's about negotiating skills.

TonyTheTerrible · 2019-05-22T20:50:32+00:00

she says it right there when she addresses it as "equal pay". not fair pay, which would factor in things like experience and adeptness... equal.

im all for fair wages and equal pay to equally qualified persons regardless of gender/ethnicity but then you get dolts like her en masse who clearly dont understand what the fight for fair wages means and do far more harm than good for the cause.

bigpopperwopper · 2019-05-22T21:42:43+00:00

TIL that I make as much as a deputy director for the British Broadcasting Company, which reaches millions of people each day, doing a few hours of shitty tech support at a bum-fuck nowhere military base.

What the actual fuck, lol.

If my name was Karen, I would legally change that shit so quick. I mean... I’m a guy but, if I were a lady I’d still change it super fast

Still a bunch of Big Beta Cucks after they fired Jeremy Clarkson

The_Pringles_Man · 2019-05-23T10:42:05+00:00

What frustrates me is that people like 'Karen' here seem to assume that their pay is lower because they're female. I wonder if Karen actually believes this - or if she just recognises that actually, in the current climate, it's quite profitable for her to scream about equal pay for women etc and there's a good chance nobody will shut her down for fear of being labelled sexist.

It is not at all uncommon to be offered different pay based on experience. If I run a garage, repairing cars and Mr Smith approaches asking for a job - he has 12 years experience fixing cars and several fantastic references, and on the same day Miss Bloggs approaches asking for a job - she has 6 months experience in the role and just one fantastic reference - and I opt to take both on, why would I pay them the same? Mr Smith is clearly a more valuable acquisition to me than Miss Bloggs.

In my own work (Police) there is a pay progression over a 7 year period to reflect the value placed upon experience. Someone with 1 years experience gets paid around £22,000 and someone with 7 years gets paid £39,000 - gender isn't the factor - it's experience.

“As a single mother I decided to discuss the dilemma with my two daughters who are 13 and seven."

I'm not sure I'd take career advice from two children but whatever.

2019-05-23T11:24:57+00:00

Of course he did. This pay gap nonsense is really starting to get annoying.

nauticaldisaster95 · 2019-05-31T08:59:45+00:00

She went to her 13 and 7 year old daughters for advice. Enough said.

maximun_vader · 2019-05-22T17:32:25+00:00

The BBC is such a scam...taxpayer-funded propaganda. I feel bad for the British people.

majaka1234 · 2019-05-22T20:53:13+00:00

Sandy toksvig or however you spell her name was ataome feminist yoke a few months back and she being all hiumble and shit saying how lucky she was to have money bla bla bla and then threw in. Oh I'm also on only a 1/4 of what Stephen fry used to get for presenting QI.

Beyotch, he was on the show for fucking years and you're bitching that you make the same as Alan Davies whose not a presenter on the show,if it wasn't for Davies the show would have been cancelled years ago ya fuckhead

Entinu · 2019-05-22T19:43:16+00:00

Somewhat related: every payday, I ask the supervisor for my check (because supervisor keeps checks of my type of coworkers in her desk per policy of company) and she says that I work for free (obvs joke before you folks get pissy) and my usual response is "we've talked about this. that's called slavery and is illegal....unless you want to pay me some other way". It's all in good fun and our office makes sexual jokes a lot. That is how you get pay equality....and a slap upside the head.

Qwarked · 2019-05-23T02:47:58+00:00

Now to change their racist hiring policy and stop manipulating the news in racist ways and they'll be on their way to being a news broadcasting company.

DontFartInTheShower · 2019-05-23T10:30:45+00:00

But then they will go on to promote the same anti-masculine bullshit they have been peddling for years. Part of me hoped they would get reamed by what they have been promoting.

DAKSouth · 2019-05-23T10:35:07+00:00

I read BBC as something different and was very confused.

Of course her name is Karen...

2019-05-23T11:52:15+00:00

I love that the article said that Karen made up her mind based on the advice of a 7 year old and a 13 year old.

LMAO

It’s ironic. The hard leftist channel that have been the prime movers in the all white males are bad by virtue of their gender and skin colour, are now being friendly fired by their own. It kind of makes sense that such a thing would take place where logic and reasoning are probably seen as just another tool for white supremacists.

My only problem with this is that the pay should be commensurate with the position. Idgaf if you’re getting newly promoted to this position or if you’ve held it for 14 years at another company...

If I work at the register of a super market and get promoted to supervisor of the meat department... I should get paid at the level of a supervisor of the meat department... if I worked at a supervisor of the meat department for 10 years, I expect to get paid at the level of a supervisor of the meat department plus whatever BS 5% merit raise I get each year.

I shouldn’t get offered half the salary because I have less experience... if I’m fit for the job, I should be fit for the salary as well. If I’m not the best fit for the job... then you should hire someone else to begin with.
