Woman colleague in my position making less $
What would you do if you find out your colleague with the same background as you is making less 💰 just because she's a woman? **Edited** theoretically speaking
Letting your coworker know how much you make is a good start. That way she has 1 data point to use as leverage for renegotiation or a new job
It might be not a matter of gender, but it wouldn’t be harmful if you let her know your salary :)
how do you know if it's just because she is a woman? salary distribution is always very different in colleagues
theoretically speaking
Pay bands are wide and based on many variables.
Tell her.
Friend had it happen. She's got a spreadsheet with everybody's salary, in a wrong way but found out was getting underpaid comparing with other male colleagues while her team brought the most revenue to the company. She told HR she knew she made less but not how. She told other coworkers about the salaries and how she knew and eventually someone told HR and they fired her. In her case though it backfired as clients started severing with the company to work with her. Her boss got desperate and tried to get her back and offer more money saying he didn't know HR had fired her but she refused.
Seems fake narrative told by her to you. I’m sure HR’s version of the story is quite different. I’ve heard a similar story with different details..
She told me she stole the doc when her boss used her laptop to log in on Dropbox and left it logged. I can't averiguate and do take with a grain of salt but give the benefit of the doubt. She was unquestionably fired with cause but they didn't expect to lose clients and it's fucked up they underpaid not only her without real reasons.
Tell her about blind.
It’s not the background that matters. High performers earn more irrespective of the gender.
Op presupposes the difference is just bc of gender. Assuming they’re both top performers, what next?
What if difference is not due to Gender, rather performance. OP thinks they are high performer (everyone thinks so about themselves) but is not. What next?
Theoretical question never seen in reality. If she puts up with it, then she deserves it.
Women are never underpaid in reality? Which version of reality is that? First fake news, and now fake reality?
Realsexism.com. Also if we account for women supported by their husbands then the wage gap would be called wage slavery and it would shine the light on how much men truly pay for women. Also every single women I work with is more obsessed about working 8 hours minus lunch break then actually working. And those that try to rarely work hard, they just follow directions created by men. The very notion that you have to defend women for x,y,z shows their inaptitude at work. Men suffer way more, but you rarely hear them complaining. That is true strength.
Pay half of what I earn more..
Why? It's not your problem
You really have to start understanding sarcasm
