I work for a large multinational tech company, I regularly hire woman for 65% to 75% of what males make. I am sick of it, here is why it happens, and how you can avoid it. : X-Post TwoXChromosomes

This honestly looks like BS to me. DOL statistics show that women make at least as much as men up until women start leaving or becoming less attached to the workforce. This fact is well known. I don't think negotiating skills have anything to do with the wage gap. Choices make all the difference.

Women are bad at negotiating salary, blame men for gender wage gap. More at 11.

It's good to know that when I start a career in IT it's likely I'll make 70 percent as much as those more assertive than myself.

If they're not going to raise their voices and demand a better deal, then fuck 'em. I don't give a shit.

It's obvious that the patriarchal society we are living in has conditioned women to be passive and docile, therefore lessening the chance that they will feel empowered to ask for more salary!

Can you elaborate on this? For example, does company policy specifically state that you pay women at 70% or is it more implied and unwritten?

If they are dumb enough to believe that isn't a concern troll. . .

Either this is a bullshit post, or this is an industry professional proving the point of most of the counter arguments to the wage gap.
