- dvfjsdhgfv 9y agoThis bit is interesting: > The defense also argued that Pao was paid more than most of her male colleagues. While salaries had previously been redacted from legal documents, the trial revealed that Pao's salary after bonuses eventually reached a peak of $560,000. It would be interested to know the salaries of people who had the exactly same position before and after her. If the salaries are at the same level, it's difficult to talk about discrimination.
- matt4077 9y agoIf you read the article, you'll notice that her salary isn't even mentioned. There are many ways to discriminate. What she does allege is, among other things, being denied a promotion based on feedback that was manipulated to make her look bad.
- humanrebar 9y agoI presume the bulk of VC compensation isn't salary. And, long term, the real billions come in opportunities to invest and professional connections.
