I think we're moving the goalposts here: are we talking an abstract man, on average, in general earning more than an abstract, average women or we're talking about a different pay for the same work?
My understanding is that we're talking about the latter.
- cronix 8y agoDoes "same work" also include the hours worked? Usually not. If someone completes x projects in y hours, and someone else completes the same x projects in z hours, are they the same? Both did "the same work," but one was more efficient and did it faster (presuming the quality of the work by both parties was equal).
- AlexTWithBeard 8y agoI assume most of Google employees are exempt, so the exact number of hours spent on a job is hard to calculate.
- hellisothers 8y agoAgreed, “hours worked” is starting to look like a dog whistle in these threads
- cronix 8y agoHow is it a dog whistle? How can you accurately compare unless you take such factors into account? Are you saying it's statistically insignificant?
- hellisothers 8y agoI’m saying “hours worked” is a straw man to some extent since everybody is exempt so what does it matter?
