If a woman knows that she is being paid less than a man who is doing the exact same work as her at the same company then it’s her fault and no one else.

I’m very sick of this topic and it makes me less willing to hire women.

If you believe that you are equal to a man then negotiate your salary - like a man. Period. Or go home.

Women are doing themselves a HUGE dis-service pushing this BS issue.

Speak up, or step out.

If these women were truly equally capable and competent and yet being paid less, the networks would fire all the more expensive men and hire only women. Then they be getting the same quality at a lesser price.

Right?

Back when I worked for companies I frequently learned from colleagues they had greater comp packages than I. They were usually drunk when passi g out this info to puff their synthetic egos.

I never dicussed my salary but frequently left my commission checks on my desk, so anyon could walk by and casually observe the numbers.

Bottom line is:

While they had a better salary package and were satiated by it I earned, in total, more than most by 200%-500%,because I brought in more business, as opposed to their almost unmeasurable results.

They are still losers and posures.

The problem, of course, is that Mika does NOT do the same job as Scarborough. It is his show and bears his name. And for $2 million a year, she gets all the bikini waxes she wants, has her brown roots taken care of every day and has a wardrobe that most women would kill for.

I’d love to know what her secretary thinks of her.

You know my philosophy is that when I take a job, I have accepted the salary offered to me - I did the deal. When I get on board......whatever someone else makes shouldn’t be my business. What these Democratic women or the Obama Manniquins should be asking is - Why is there such a pay disparity within the Obama Administration (18% less than their male counterparts)? Also, I understand the drive to have health insurance pay for contraception - although I grew up in a time where I paid for the pill myself - contraception is readily available (trojans in bathrooms). Why should government or insurance pay for birth control,abortions and more importantly Viagra? Some might say the “pill” is needed for health reasons - well if you can’t afford to pay for a monthly supply - you can go to Planned Parenthood and they will provide the product based on a sliding income scale. In other words - if you are poor and needy, you’ll get it for free.

Insurance was designed to protect us when the unexpected happens — accidents, floods, fire — catastrophes that cost more than most of us can pay. Severe illness is a good reason to have insurance.
