At the end of the year, look at a variety of technical inventory of the article, it is time for the well-being of women compatriots, but this time it seems to bring no good news. In the 2014, the topic of "equal work for men and women" led to a lot of right and wrong.
Silicon Valley's socialite: The Pleasures of the men's clubs
In July, two former female employees of Goldman Sachs investment company Shana Orlich and H. Cristina Chen-oster, who plans to launch a class action lawsuit against Goldman Sachs for sex discrimination. The two appeal documents say sexism is a pervasive phenomenon in Goldman Sachs ' working environment, filled with "men's Clubs" (Boys ' club culture), where women are treated as a socialite, and male colleagues attend binge-drinking parties at three to five o'clock. Even went to a strip club to have fun.
In October, Microsoft's new CEO, Barnard, said in public that "women who work in High-tech companies should not take the initiative to ask for a raise, but rely on ' good fortune ' if they do not receive a salary commensurate with their work." ”
There is also an unwritten rule within many Silicon Valley companies that are more willing to recruit socially and playful programmers (Brogrammer). It would even require employees to have the stature of a bodybuilder, and call it a "High-tech talent's six-pack +php programming Mind". Do not know whether this is for the sake of the health of employees, or to let the company have a more cool and beautiful image?
In addition, according to the survey data on employee diversity published by many of the major technology companies this year, many have learned that the practice of the technology industry in favour of white employees is not unfounded. White male employees have an overwhelming advantage, especially for both gender and ethnicity.
Said so much, but also a bitter tears. It is true that some provisions are wonderful, do not know whether to recruit a butterfly or a butterfly? But it also reflects the "dire" working conditions of the women who have been in the technology circle this year, and they still earn less than their male counterparts.
Do more and earn less.
The latest figures from Bloomberg Businessweek show that the average wage for graduates from business schools graduating in 2014 was 14548 dollars, lower than that of the men who graduated from the same period. Many sceptics retort that the wage gap may have been caused by the fact that the women had chosen a lower-income industry from the start, or that they could not work for the family.
But sophistry is useless, the reality is so cruel. The survey showed that when women and men of similar qualifications chose the same area and were basically doing the same job, men's pay levels remained high. Even for those who change jobs, even from the level of education, work experience and other aspects and male colleagues "equal", but still holding less than the male employee's salary.
As an executive? Wash and sleep.
I don't know how confident some companies are, they like to brag about their "employee diversity plan" and let us all believe it. But if you ask them face-to-face, what is the salary of your female employees? Guess they're going to be speechless. Jokes can be so open, but the table below is a way to debunk the reality of the red fruit.
or the science circle of the hero of the gender, "when the general manager, as the CEO, on the peak of life," the motto can only be effective for male employees. The authoritative data show that women rarely hold the top jobs in the industry, and that, in addition to careful HR HR, women executives are only 20% more than men, and in every other way, the number of male executives is overwhelmingly superior. Women accounted for only 15% of the gender division in the entire field, compared with 5.67 times times the number of male executives.
In addition, the survey data also pointed out, that is, these few women are "fortunate" to serve as the company's senior executives, most of their work is no real power, can not control the company's decision-making, in the company management is still insignificant small role, really let people choke.
These tragic data is not meant that the vast number of female compatriots can only be steadfast to stay at home with children, cleaning up? The researchers gave a new outlet for women employees. Women, they say, can try to transform themselves into "joint founders". With some fashionable netizens can understand the words, it should be the investors or "co-worker"-their own money, sponsorship of other projects, the way to guide subordinates, but also to avoid wage injustice and office disputes.
Even the young employees don't seem to be very much of a female leader.
So here's our problem, and a lot of people point to a more brutal display: If female leaders say good things to male employees in front of big bosses, big bosses don't want to see that. and surveys show that the majority of men and women do not want their bosses to be female.
In October this year, Gallup a survey of One-fifth of the nation's population, the chart is a simple and crude reflection of a fact, and a seemingly more open and tolerant group of young people is not immune: from age 18 to even 65 years old, they prefer to have a male leader. What a male-female tear.
