The information provided in the article directly contradicts your hypothetical. It says that the raises resulting from the study disproportionately went to men. Not just in absolute terms, but proportional terms: > The study, which disproportionately led to pay raises for thousands of men, is done every year [...] > In response to the study, Google gave $9.7 million in additional compensation to 10,677 employees for this year. Men account for about 69 percent of the company’s work force, but they received a higher percentage of the money.
