    All jokes and my prior misuse of words aside, why wouldn’t they do this? Looks like an easy job, people lose their minds over any allegation of sex inequality anyway (even if it’s not true). Even if they lose they can get publicity, form an organization and raise funds. Let’s not pretend people always tell the truth, there is likely something else behind this.

      it’s weird that you rather believe a multinational corporation does nothing nefarious because once they had a slogan “don’t be evil” which they quietly retired, instead of the way more likely idea that women are systematically paid less. Look at how capitalism brainwashed you.

        I know Google does many evil stuff, as mega corporations do since that’s how you become that big in the first place, but I don’t think this is one of them. There is no monetary gain from it, if it was done for that reason why not pay man less too? Also I don’t Google would let this information out so easiely if it’s true, why not put employees under NDA so they can’t talk about how company treats them? Google may be evil but they aren’t stupid, the men these women are talking about were probably in higher position or were more well known and established.

        Also if I am at lemmy and fedi in general chances are I’m not brainwashed by corporate propaganda. When mega corporations do things like this there is a reason for it, as unethcial and gross as that may be… unless it’s Ubisoft I guess.

          If you systematically pay a huge percentage of workforce less, how is there no monetary gain?

            If you can pay a sizable chunk of your employees less and it works, why not pay all of your employees less?
