Why the Gender Gap Wont Go Away. Ever. Women prefer the mommy track.
I didn't read that PDF. We're broke, and we have to pay for politically correct nonsense!!!
It won’t matter anyway...
“Dollar to Be ‘Discarded’ by World: China Rating Agency”
Show me the internal data. Show me the maternity leaves. Show me the mommy-tracking. If it isn’t there I will respect the results. If it is there I don’t listen to a damned thing this researcher says.
Kidding! Just kidding!
In the present economy they should be thankful they have a job! Period!
Maybe they are not as good at it?
Here is my anecdotal story, my friends are both PHDs at Goethe University, the husband is German and a top research scientist, aggressive and obsessed in his work and field, his wife is Swiss, she now works in an important role in the Dean’s office, and tells me that she never wanted to be a PHD, she only wanted to raise a family and live a normal life.
BINGO!!! Mommy Tracking! In addition, women usually take more "secure," less dangerous jobs in general thus the lower pay. I love how all the feminazis leave this "inconvenient truth" out of their incessant "wage gap" studies.
Just another garbage government study claiming that some demographic doesn’t get enough special treatment while that same government showers them with incentives, free advanced degree programs, and career advancement opportunities.
What’s even worse is that when you hire somebody based on what demographic they belong to, it means that you’re NOT hiring them on engineering ability. These losers wind up being promoted quickly to administration because they can’t cut it as engineers. When these women rise in the ranks, the first thing they do is set out to hire more women because they’re taught their whole lives that they’re getting a bum rap and men are always holding them down. It’s a self-perpetuating problem.
How cool!
You think if Palin or Bachmann win the presidency we can cut their pay?
Balance the budget and all, y'know. :>)
Frankly, my dear, I no longer give a smelly Obama.
b.s.
when i had jobs that either i didn’t like, or fit into, or was taken advantage of,
i found a better job.
it's the HR persons job to low ball offers to get the best deal the company can get, it's not their fault if women agree to less money than a man would be offered for the same job
that's why it's called salary NEGOTIATIONS...
Those are feminists from a government putsch of the ‘90s. Real women who want to be engineers will do just fine.
Yes, we do.
Sometimes there is only the one job available. It is tough. I’d rather be working but the job I have is not a good one.
They shouldn’t complain... scientists at the University of Tennessee are all Volunteers.
