International Women’s Day

[PSRB]

Been told all staff have to attend a webinar at 12pm to celebrate the importance of women’s rights, gender equality and to listen to some of our senior female leaders on their inspirational journeys.



Anywon else having to undergo similar brainwashing?

Kind of worried about the direction my company is taking...just seems like a matter of time before I get passed over for promotion because they need to fill the role with a woman.

Seems to be a weekly event, currently

Our company has set up a whole Women at Work thing.

Of course, I don't see any of the chaps doing 3 or 4 day weeks.........

I had to listen to yet another piece on the Today programme this morning that unquestioningly accepted the idea that there is a meaningful gender pay gap in this country. Despite the fact that this has been repeatedly debunked.

WPP had to do a whole thing on it across the entire company, on average across every position the split was something around 54/46. As I was at pains to point out, we get the opportunity to negotiate when we start, so perhaps women are just **** at negotiating but even so we're still pretty even.

Some of us are under the false impression that when they discuss the gap in gender pay they are talking about men and women getting paid different sums for the same, or equivalent, roles. I am afraid this is not the case.

For larger companies we are talking a flat comparison including the CEO and the cleaners. If men get paid more than women you get to choose which crime you are committing: either (a) you pay men more you sexist ****s! or (b) you dont promote women you sexist ****s!

Obviously if women get paid more there is no issue, even though the actual law on equality doesnt protect women, it protects the characteristic of gender...... still, that is just the law isnt it...what does that matter??

What are you talking about? The Guardian has made it abundantly clear here with actual scientific data that women are effectively forced to work for free.

Why don't you start a 'white men in the workplace' (give it a nice, snappy name) committee?
