Always appreciate different news sources and ways to further educate myself.
>It depends on the job. What you say applies mainly to Twitter-empowered employees at consumer-facing tech companies.
It may depend on the job, one of them falls into the consumer facing tech company bucket (marketing).
However my other job was an analyst role at a Financial Services company which you typically expect to be male dominated and where you might expect this sex discrimination to occur.
It could have been the specific company I worked for (small sample size), but I found it to be a fair and equal opportunity hiring/promoting process at least for those early on in their career.
- throwawayyx96 9y agoYou worked as a financial analyst but yet don't seem to grasp the monumental difference between "women earn 80 percent less than men", which you cited above as the common narrative, and "women earn 80 percent of what men earn" or "women earn 20 percent less than men", which are two accurate descriptions of the common narrative.
