Isn't that true anyway due to bias? I believe taller men or women with bigger chests make bigger paychecks all else equal. I think in a geek world all paychecks would be determine by work ethic and brain power, but I don't think that's how the world works.
- codedokode 10y agoThat might be true if a woman works as a waitress (and attracts customers to come more often) but I doubt that is important for a software developer.
- xiaoma 10y agoNo, it has a significant impact even on programmers, though less of one than it has on people in sales or customer service: http://timothy-judge.com/Height%20paper--JAP%20published.pdf http://timothy-judge.com/Height%20paper--JAP%20published.pdf
- brianwawok 10y agoLook it up. People with nice faces and certain hair also make more. Humans have a hard time not showing bias in all parts of their life.
- drewrv 10y agoMaybe it's true due to human psychology but that doesn't mean we should institutionalize it.
