Why do female employees are paid lesser than male employees?
All employees should be treated the same despite their gender. But companies do not treat the employees fairly. They give a high salary to male employees and a lesser salary to female employees. Do they think female employees are not skilled? They are not better at doing things? This is rubbish. Women are doing so much better than men and should be paid equally. A Reddit user who is a female machinist was training a newbie when she learned that the newbie is being paid more than her. The newbie is not good at things. Newbie does not even know how to operate a forklift or a crane but getting more salary than a skilled machinist. This was the moment when OP realized her worth and decided to put in her two weeks’ notice. She got an offer from an old colleague where she would be paid more than her current job. Scroll down to read the full story.
