I had this:
young male intern: talks a lot but is not working
young female intern: does all the work of the male intern, gets half the pay
me: why?
ceo: because the male intern is from some important school!
- mziel 11y agoNot trying to start a flame, but what difference does it make that they're male or female? The difference is as you said "some important school".
- Jean-Philipe 11y agoOkay, I actually consider that a valid question. The thing was: all the female employees in that team got half (!) the pay of the guys. The guys of that team didn't work, but the women were much more productive. The fact that he's "from some important school" wich in this case didn't provide any value at all, was just a lame excuse for "he has a p*nis". Another excuse I heard from that CEO, when one of the underpaid team members asked him about the difference in pay, was this: "It's your market value!" which reads quite clearly as "You earn less because you're a woman" PS: Had a lot of these cases in that company and the gender was the only common denominator. I'm glad I left. Meanwhile they have a new CEO, and things have improved.
