Time to quantify the difference between pay for men and women?

@Dominic Connor

Next time you're in a bar, please focus on enjoying a drink and spare us all the verbal diarrhoea.

Much appreciated.

Agnes raises a valid point. Pretty much every firm has a "policy" for women. As a headhunter I get to hear a wide range of views on the real world implementation of these polices. Policy is to a large extent irrelevant however. Many managers are simply incapable of accurately measuring the contribution of each member of staff. This is made worse by the fact that few of us have "objective" measures of our output, being office workers, not on a production line.
It affects men too, though I know women get it worse.

But Agnes exhibits something I see from both men and women.

She puts in the same hours as her male colleagues, and in a work culture that sadly often favours "face time" over productivity that is a factor. But I wonder if she has worked out what will impress her boss ?
It may be his fault that he does not see your value, but it is *your* problem. Might I counsel spending more time working out what he thinks he wants ?

I work the same hours like my colleagues, as I dont have children and family I can pay out extra attention at my work and responsibilites, and still I am the one who earns to lowest salary..... is it perhaps the company I work for that has sorted internal policies for female workers??

Rick - nothing will happen to the salaries, because women actually have to be *better* in order to get equal pay or equal chances. If you ever looked around instead of focusing on your own self and displaying your self-righteous attitude at large, you would have already seen that. It is glaringly obvious.

It is obvious Rick that you are very young - you still have that idea that you get paid in the industry on ability and working hard!! Come back and talk to me in 10 years time when you realise that hard work, performance and determination don't equal equal pay!

An idealist - how amusing!!
