Studying outliers does have merit, though. If, overall, a woman is paid at 79% of a man’s rate, we should look at what is making up that amount, including outliers. So if (I’m just making up examples here) we look at an industry and see that men make 10% more than women, we need to dig in and see what roles men/women…

But that is how it works. That’s actually exactly how it works. The longer you’re with a place (usually), the more pay you get. And the longer you’re employed with the same employer, the more vacation you get. Your current tenure is a good indicator of your future tenure and most companies pay on that.

TWO WEEKS!

You’re very welcome. My mistake was to entertain your attempts at derailing a serious topic that affects every single one of us. I’m really am sorry that your own feelings are more important to you than discussing how poorly people are treated in a systematic way in our country. It’s this selfishness that has gotten…

I’m very sorry that you feel like you’re victimized by people disagreeing with you. If, however, you can’t explain how it’s racist not to pick a POC when they don’t have the required knowledge to complete a project, I’ll thank you to keep your microagressions to yourself. My thoughts are just as valid as yours and by…

I very much disagree with you. There must be intent behind the words/actions to be racist.

I was going to respond to kshortie16’s response to you, but she isn’t interested in hearing anyone else’s viewpoint, so I’ll respond to you instead.

Turd :) is 72/100 polite, and Shitbird :) is also 72/100 polite. I know which one I’ll be using today!

Honestly, I think the intra-personal relationships equality is a red herring. Yes, there are absolutely unequal/abusive relationships out there and I’m not denying that in the slightest. But for functional relationships, each partner gets/gives something from/to the relationship. If they’re not getting their needs…

If a woman only make 75-80% of what a man makes for doing the same job, why don’t all companies fire men and hire women to do the same job? They’d save 20-25% of labor costs right off the top.

lol...heinous

I’m pretty certain that the seller, not the buyer is responsible for remitting all sales taxes (and affirming that the sales taxes remitted are full and correct). To the buyer, it’s simply the seller discounting the sales price item. The seller still owes the sales tax (on the discounted sales price) to the state.

I heard that was Jared’s favorite play!

Yeah, just reply to this comment with your name, address, SSN, and mother’s maiden name (for verification purposes).

The How It’s Made clip is from Holland House Candles in Holland, MI. If you get a chance to visit them and see the process in person, it is WELL worth it. The ladies are happy to talk about their craft. Something I learned when I was there is that each candlemaker has their own slightly different carving style, so…

Boards of Directors are not supposed to involve themselves with the day-to-day operations of the companies they govern. So, for example, they can’t go in and say “fire so-and-so”. What they CAN do, and what I think Alex O. is saying, is steer the company by directing the CEO/management in the direction they want the…

Isn’t the “strange chip on her shoulder” just the collar of her blouse? I do like the new hairstyle on the woman silhouette, though. It looks nicer.

Hi Ellen!

If you turn it the other way, it turns into TARS from Interstellar.
