Not literally everyone can be underpaid, but most people can be underpaid, with a very small percentage paid fairly (and a smaller percentage overpaid)

- CydeWeys 8y agoThis really feels like a separate issue.
- oarabbus_ 8y agoSo then what is the issue here. I'm hearing "no the issue is that the data was looked at wrong and they really do discriminate against women". Now I'm hearing that "it doesn't matter that there are significant numbers of both underpaid women and underpaid men" from you. I guess it's not very clear to me what you think the issue is here.
- CydeWeys 8y agoAre you confusing me with someone else?

- oarabbus_ 8y agoI'm not sure, but you seem to be asking many questions in a pointed manner on this topic, while offering no answers or even interpretations of your own.
- CydeWeys 8y agoI don't claim to have any of the answers, and it is a really hard problem. I'm just pointing out that it doesn't mathematically make sense to claim that everyone can be underpaid relative to each other^, and that the claim that software engineers are underpaid in general relative to the value they create is a separate issue. ^ That's like saying that two people can each be shorter than each other. It's not possible according to the way the "less than" function is defined.
- vibrato 8y agoIf you're underpaid, that means there is an opportunity for you that will pay more. Aside from H1B, I struggle to see how anyone at google is underpaid.
