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?

It may be unfair, but it is a Mans World. Sometimes we just have to suck it up and deal with it. If you try to fight it, you very well may make things much worse.

Wow... Between the Venezuelan comment and this one, you seem like the perfect gentleman. Please, make more ignorant statements.

That is so stupid. Maybe one day equality for everyone will come about but until then, here we are in this sexist world...

Every female working anywhere is always paid 15% less than the actual pay they should be getting. There's nothing you can do, but it is incredibly stupid. Even if you were in a higher position than your male co-workers, you'd still make less than them.

not everywhere but there are a few places that do it and dont care to hide it either.

What's the Job, Equal Employment Opportunity Officer?

You get full pay on maternity leave, you get paid for being pregnant, it's not possible for men, and you're complaining about a pay difference that might not even have anything to do with you being a woman, they might have more years than you, they might have gotten raises, you can't simply jump to the conclusion that you're being discriminated against

You just found that out?? They should pay you 20% less.

Take it to HR. How long have you worked there? Get that 15% back. That's ****** up.

Raise a crap storm. They'll pay you equally when you get their attention.
