Today, I found out that, although I have the same job title and complete the same work as my male colleagues, I get paid 15% less, purely because I'm a girl. FML

I think you should do 15 percent less work from now on

And you've talked to your boss about this?

Look on the bright side. You don't make 15% less - they make 17% more :)

I'm sorry love. society still works that way. women still arent considered equals yet.

You have every ******* right to sue for lost wages.

This confused me until I noticed that you live in the UK. I guess the only thing us 'Muricans have on the Brits now is equal pay.

This will prob get all the negative votes but that's how it's been for a long long time. It's going to take a lot longer before it changes. It sucks a lot but if it bothers you so much do something about it. I would try to sue.

so sad that the world is so slow with change

when girls start taking guys out and paying for dinner and girls start posting their own tab then same pay. equality!

dude do guys pay for all the shit that girls use to dress up and look pretty for them? guess not since it's expected of girls to look 100%. shit's ******* expensive yo

Sue them. It's blatant sex discrimination under the Equality Act. You are pretty much guaranteed to win; it's an absolute ban on paying different rates to men and women for doing the same work, work that is similar or work of same type. Seriously, go see a solicitor!

Hey that's better than the average 33% less

Have you been there as long as they have? I make just a dollar less than my boyfriend, doing the same exact thing, but he's been there 5 years longer than me.
