The fuck? Firefighters fucking risk their LIVES helping people and all receptionists do is fucking sit at a table. You should be happy that the pay gap is only that far apart.

It's satire.

As a receptionist I support this message.

I'm 99% sure that's a parody/comedy Twitter account. Comedian Andrew Doyle(?) runs it I think

It is, that's why I shared it. I thought it was obvious. It's the most famous parody account.

Construction Workers (US)
99%
average salary: $38,738
RECEPTIONISTS (US)
95% female
Average Salary: $35,920
And you still think the gender pay gap is a myth?

The wage gap is based on averages. A lot of women like being stay at home moms which is still perfectly fine but unfortunately they don’t make any money doing it. :(

Two different jobs get two different salaries.

I know, it's almost like there's a market or something!
Back in the 80's, they made a lot of ballyhoo over "comparable worth", basically claiming receptionists added equivalent value to what construction workers did, so they should be payed the same.
Of course this was rubbish, and its failure to gain permanent traction indicates that pretty much everyone outside the academy knew it was rubbish. At some level, I guess people know that market prices do not directly track value, that "worth" is subjective and situational, and that there is a premium for work fewer people are able to do.

Sitting behind a desk at a dentist office verses fighting fires and putting your life on the line for others. HMMMMM 🤔🤔 I guess you're right. Let's pay the firefighter much more since he's oh I don't know, RISKING HIS LIFE!!!!

Dude, are you from the Balkans. I'm from Croatia and thought because of the username.

What about those remaining 4% firefighters if they are females what is their pay?
[–]4Runnner0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
The US do not pay their firefighter well... that’s atrocious.

Two completely different jobs.
