60 is really not small when you consider the risk these people are taking. Back in the 90s my mother was hit by a layoff at a large company that targeted every woman above a certain pay grade within the entire region. There were several hundred of them and they very strategically decided who would engage in legal…

Common man, I see. Who gives a fuck about the common woman, right?

And why women get punished for even asking for a raise.

According the New York Times article on the subject he was involved in peer review. In a surprise to no one, he thinks he’s being persecuted and that Google (a company which employs 70% men, 80% programmers) is discriminating against men.

Is it possible that women initially ask for a lower salary because employers are possibly, even probably, more accepting of a man asking for $x, when they might think that a woman with the same resume, asking for $x is a pushy bitch.

Fair enough. And I’ve been in uncomfortable situations where my superiors are making sexually charged jokes, and as a woman who needed that job, said nothing. I saw someone get reassigned for reporting on the sexual harassment, she was the only one punished. It sucks.

any amount under what Ailes and O’Reilly got in total would be unjust

Oh, Jesus. These guys are demented.

Panel 1:

This is pretty much why you don’t write this shit and post it in the workplace. Outside work and on your own time, whatever. You’re shitty, but it’s unlikely anyone will ever find it. Now, depending on what this guy did or was involved in at work Google could be opened to a host of lawsuits just like this one. I found…

You’re being sarcastic, right? Please tell me you’re being sarcastic. Pre-45 me would have known, but my sense of sarcasm and humor has been broken down one tweet at a time.

To all the commenters over on giz: see this is why you can’t be writing shit like this at work. Whether you agree with what he said or not, it’s a liability for the company.

some of the women claim they are paid less than their male counterparts for the same work, and some say they’ve had difficulty receiving promotions due to a “culture that is hostile to women.”

I want someone in HR to explain to me why you dole out more money to men just because they ask for it. WHY? Do they cast a spell on you or what?

I just googked “Google sexism” and it popped up as “trending news.” Weird.

Ladies. Ladies. I have it on good authority that you weren’t receiving inferior pay for the same work. It was just *different* pay.

Sad, but true.

this is rude and unfair to the sun.

How about none within perception of any kind and in either direction? That seems sufficient.
