If he has never asked for a raise in all his career, such a thought process would not be out of place. Granted saying this in a women specific forum will not go well, but his later tweet, that we need to close the gap is precisely what needs to be done. Regarding employees in general having to ask for raises, i cannot say much, as in my job career of over 30 years, never had to ask for one. I thought I was fairly compensated - maybe i was too happy in my job :-( but life has not been bad.
