Google lost a lawsuit and will now have to pay $1 million to a female Google Cloud executive who sued the company for “sexual discrimination.” The employee, Google Cloud executive Ulku Rowe, alleged she was paid less than less-experienced male counterparts in similar positions.
An eight-person jury found Google guilty after five hours of deliberation...
the jurors said Google owes Rowe $150,000 for pain and suffering and $1 million in punitive damages.
“Rowe’s suit is the first pay discrimination case filed against Google after the mass walkouts in 2018 during which hundreds of Google workers protested how the tech company has handled sexual misconduct by some of its top executives,” the report explains.
...
Rowe claimed Google discriminated against her by hiring her at a lower level, paying her less than her male peers who were doing similar work, and denying her a promotion for which she was qualified. The promotion, she argued, went to a less qualified man,” the report states. “She came into the job with 23 years of experience in the financial services and technology field but was hired as a level eight employee while other men who were hired at the same time as her, and allegedly had less experience, were hired at level nine. As a level eight employee, Rowe made about $750,000 a year while some of the level nine employees made over $1 million a year.”
Rowe also alleged that she faced retaliation after reporting her concerns about the pay discrepancy.
Men, here’s a way to quit your job and have them pay you for it. Identify as a woman, and then write down all the discrimination the company’s done to you because it doesn’t count when its done to a man/white man.
Find a good lawyer, and get to it. Play by their rules. Make them beg for mercy.
Who says there is no “trickle down economics?” As long as there are deep pocket individuals, corporations, there will always be someone putting their hand in it, right or wrong.
I’m glad she won.
“...she was paid less than less-experienced male counterparts in similar positions’.
‘Woke’ Google. Ha!
Who is more “qualified” doesn’t mean so much as who is more “competent”. I don’t know the details of the case but I don’t think a jury can decide who is more competent.
What was the position advertised at? Do they have strict levels, like this position is a level 8 position, or is it like most executive level jobs where they advertise a base pay and you negotiate for a higher pay? Maybe she was just bad at negotiating
She swallows
Serves them right. Go hire more woke women because the “future is female” and this is what you are going to get.
Years of experience are not equal.
Also, I doubt if she was really worth even $750,000.
I guarantee you that the guy who was promoted before her was either black, gay, or both. Maybe more qualified, too, and maybe he had been passed over for promotion before this.
This may be karma coming to Google, but maybe there really wasn’t any issue. She may be a sub-par employee and she just can’t take the blow to her ego.
Hmmm…. The question I am NOT hearing: “What is a biologist?”
One million?
C’mon Man!
That is nothing to these creeps. Besides whatever they make in the Western world, the who knows how much the Chicoms are dishing out. In fact, the Chicoms are probably paying them twice. Once, for assistance with the Chicom surveillance state, and again for screwing up the West.
The correct term is “woman employee.” The syntax calls for use of a noun, and “female” in this case is an adjective.
