Nice that they fixed the problem, and that they're showing the numbers. Although they also say 69% of the company is male, so that could also explain why more men than women were underpaid.

Either way, kudos to Google for checking and then fixing the problem, even though it cost them almost 10 billions. That's the ways companies should be.

This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 93%. (I'm a bot)

Kelly Ellis, a former Google engineer and one of the plaintiffs in the gender-pay suit against the company, said in a legal filing that Google hired her as a Level 3 employee - the category for new software engineers who are recent college graduates - in 2010 despite her having four years of experience.

The company declined to provide the number of Google employees, but Google is by far the largest part of the company.

In an effort to demonstrate that Google was not skimping on wages, executives said at the meeting that the company had adjusted the pay of more employees than ever before.
