Comment on Pay Transparency: European Commission proposes measuresparent

Comments

I still like the idea of showing a salary range, but it doesn’t seem like showing the gender pay gap will do much. I guess it will be used to shame them and they will give a pay bump to a woman who may or may not have deserved it?

But if there is systemic bias it will still exist and just be pushed elsewhere.

I more believe that if there is wrong the first course of action is for you to do right, and if enough people do right you have the influence to make the wrong illegal, at which point it doesn’t matter cuz more of you just want what is right.

Ultimately this is just another way to stoke the flames of class division. The idea that ; The strong will only ever oppress the weak, so the weak must always try to destroy what is strong. This thinking never allows for the chance that someone can be powerful and good and on the side of the weak.
