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 in software engineering.
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 of Google employees worldwide walked out of offices in November after a New York 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.
Equal Pay for Men is mandatory, Google.
drantbradley Is this news or an indirect bragging from Google?
I’m sure straight white men were paid the least.
ok but they monetized sexual harassment so they were equally paid
We must close this pay gap

Probably on purpose
Is that sexist? Discrimination? Asking for a friend

They probably did a Google search to find out and their dumbfuck algorithms to suppress conservatives returned a wrong answer. You reap what you sow!!
That has got to be a first in history!!!!!!!
