In an effort to address wage equity among women and members of minority groups, Google studied its own practices as it does every year. But the results showed the company was underpaying more men than women for doing similar jobs, The New York Times first reported Monday.
Google's 2018 analysis found that in one group of lower-level software engineers men"received less discretionary funds than women," according to the post authored by Google's lead analyst for pay equity and people analytics Lauren Barbato. Nearly half of the adjustment fund was spent on discrepancies in offers to new hires, Barbato wrote, which was the result of a new hire analysis Google conducted in the 2018 study.
Google's findings come after the company has had to grapple with difficult issues around gender equity in the workplace. Thousands Google employees worldwide walked out of offices in November after a Times report surfaced a $90 million exit package paid to ex-Android leader Andy Rubin after the company found sexual misconduct claims made against him credible.
Google's study, however, is limited to a specific type of pay equity and does not take into account other factors like leveling, which considers whether new employees are paid appropriately at the outset of their career at the company.
Yall prepare yourselves, this one still gonna end up a L for men somehow
Haha, so what do we do now?
Very sexist
How is it possible? Google knows where I parked my car but didn’t realize paying women employees more than men.

Lol EqualPayDay FightFor15
And apologies from the feminists who have been screaming for years about pay inequality (and a bunch of other crap like farting cows) are no doubt forthcoming...
Somewhere in here there is a lesson on victim mentality.
Outrage. Was anything said about the roles and behaviour of the men and ladies... We should be told as a matter of national interest...
Fake news
I have a feeling there won't be much screaming from the do-gooder class.
No way? Google?
Negative bias in a world gone PC mad
HeToo
Woops
HeToo
Some will say that that’s fine
If we keep paying women more than men, and hire H1-B visa's, we can put men completely out of their misery!
Be careful what you wish for
