“Equal pay stifles employees from trying to excel and get noticed, so that they get a bigger paycheck. Without inequality in pay, there is no incentive to be any better than the lowest common denominator.”
Agreed!
One good thing about the military - you get paid the same rate as the men!
Until moral tanks because the women can't do the job.
My maintainers had a tough, physical duty that required much extreme physical work in temperatures from 100+ degrees to -35 degrees while having to lift or move large, very heavy, objects and also conduct precise tasks at the same time. The few women that were placed in the Branch did not have the muscle or stamina to perform the duty so we had to assign them back on base in the jobs that did not require physical effort. Those jobs were usually rotated so a Maintainer would get a much needed short break from constantly dispatching to the Field.
There was a lot of resentment as those women took up a valuable maintenance position but could not dispatch out to the Field.
