Except women do take more time off.

You're clearly prejudice against men, or just don't know what you're talking about. Try actually knowing what you're talking about before you give it a shot in the future.

BS raditz! You said and I quote: So, yeah, over all women have less experience than men and an overall less worth to the company.

Quote:
That is a bunch of crock. Your link says NOTHING about women being less experienced and LESS VALUE to the company. You added that because of your prejudice.

ANd I am not prejudice against men because I am SMART enough to know that there are some men who out produce women, but there are many women who OUTPRODUCE men. Both sexes can bring value and experience to the company.

This link is about absenteeism, this is NOT a link about who is more valuable on the job raditz.

If you are going to use a link as your source of reference, don't put words into the link and twist it for your own agenda. And there are some careers where women dominate and perform better, some where men dominate and do better.

@GSnap Said

And here is a link for you raditz that shows that the very thing you are dissing in regards to women is the VERY THING that has helped women fair better than their male counterparts in the recession.

Since your argument was women hold less value, it appears to not hold a lot of weight in the overall big picture of the economy and workplace.

@raditz Said

You're crying women make less than men, and then you post an article showing they are doing better than men.

This administration seems to have a goal of crippling small businesses (The enemy as the Chosen One would say) and the economy. Oh well, only about two and a half years till he's gone.

Congress is considering a new bill, backed by the White House, that will create a new federal database to store your payroll information as it relates to sex, race and national origin; personal identity information does not appear to be included. https://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/69746

I know, its from CNS, a media source that the left of center consider non-credible. However, CNS has been accurate in picking up news that the larger (credible?) media do not. I attempted to find this story in all the large media groups, nothing there.

Business groups are complaining the bill will further hurt small business and the economy as new restrictions and/or penalties against potential employers will keep businesses from hiring.

Maybe it's not her work performance that is 80% of a man's, but women do take more time away from work. Kid gets sick, she takes time off. Time to have a kid, more time off. Kid has a program at school, more time off. Also, women generally miss more work than her male co-workers.

Also, a lot of women take a leave from work when they have kids. So, yeah, over all women have less experience than men and an overall less worth to the company.

@raditz Said

Yes.

@Spinkiegirl Said

So what's wrong with this?

@fractal7221 Said

There are simply too many variables in determining salary that don't appear to be included. Experience is a big one that doesn't appear to get major consideration in this new law.

Time of hire makes a big difference too. If you got hired before the recession your starting pay would likely be higher at many places than if you got hired today. Simply supply and demand for labor. Any company that tried to improve their diversity right now might appear like they are discriminating against minorities, but the root cause for the pay discrepancy would be the recession.

Also, many positions in a company are unique or have only a few people with that title. Its difficult to make judgments on whether their is a major discrepancy in pay when you don't have a statistically relevant sample size.

When you leave out many of the variables its easy to data mine some huge pay discrepancies against companies you have a problem with.

@jackmcg Said

I don't know that there is anything wrong with it. Its another record keeping area with which business may have to contend. Someone must do it, takes more time, costs some more money and a few more people may not be hired into another critical area because of it.

Our govt. hasn't worked for some 200 years or so now, and unless the two parties in charge start finding a way to work together towards the SAME goal......we will be f***ed no matter who sits in the oval office!
