No, because facebook is a a company not a charity. If they can pay less amount for equal work, they should. Similarly I would not pay more for a haircut if there is cheaper barber with equal value and quality.
- demarq 6y agoOn that basis, a company could pay women less since it knows they are less likely to demand an equal salary. After all facebook is not a charity. facebook is a MAJOR player in society, and reflecting societies values is not a charitable act it's a responsibility.
- maest 6y agoIt's hard to argue that "remote devs" are a protected group.
- matz1 6y ago>a company could pay women less since it knows they are less likely to demand an equal salary Except they couldn't, FB is forced to pay equal salary. >is not charitable act it's a responsibility Depends on which perspective you're looking at, if I'm facebook or fb shareholder, I consider it act of irresponsibility.
- demarq 6y ago> Except they couldn't, FB is forced to pay equal salary. never has. no company is forced to do this. companies only get into trouble if they do this on a significant scale. There are tons of companies out there happily paying women less and still on the right side of the law.
- matz1 6y ago>companies only get into trouble if they do this on a significant scale This is where they are being forced do to it. The point is a company should do it if they could get away with it without trouble.
