You know, the thing that perhaps most influenced me in terms of how do you look at the journey or a career. There was this guy, his name is Mike Naples, he was the president of Microsoft when I joined and he had this saying that all HR systems are long-term efficient, short-term inefficient. And I thought that this phrase captured it.

It's not really about asking for the raise but knowing and having faith that the system will actually give you the right raises as you go along. And that I think might be one of the additional superpowers that quite frankly women who don't ask for raises have. Because that's good karma, that'll come back. Because somebody's going to know that's the kind of person that I want to trust; that's the kind of person that I want to really give more responsibility to; and in the long term, efficiency things catch up.

And I wonder — and I'm not saying that's the only approach — I wonder if taking the long term helps solve for what might be perceived as this uncomfortable thing as am I getting paid right, am I getting rewarded right. Because the reality is your best work is not followed with your best rewards. Your best work then has impact, people recognize it and then you get the rewards. So I think you have to think that through I think.

what is this poo poo about women who don't ask for raises have superpowers supposed to mean? like i get that he really just wants women to stfu about equal pay but i dont get how that even works as an empty platitude

all salaries, pay scales, etc are to be posted in a location visible to all employees, same as the current legal rights documents. peg the statue of limitations for discrimination claims to the date of discovery. require annual statistical audits of the salaries within a company as part of the normal financials.

yeah that would help discovery, but then it still becomes discrimination vs quality of work. if its a single instance then you're never going to win, but if its widespread in a company it would probably be pretty easy.

also it would likely cause a short term reduction in the number of women hired, but it would be better over the long term as hiring women becomes unavoidable and they expect to come in at existing salary levels

pretty sure it means "i'll say loving anything to get those selfish money-grubbing bitches to stop hassling me about how they're not getting raises no matter how well they're performing, why can't they just have faith that, like god, I will eventually forgive them for the sin of not being men and grant them a pittance as a reward for not bothering me?"

he's trying to couch it as a motivational speech but it's not working, at all. holy poo poo it's bad, there is just no way to defend that

im pro mandatory paternity leave. if both mom and dad have to take a break when they have a kid, theres one less reason to discriminate against young women.

getting back to what i was saying earlier, we have that here but not at the same rate. there's a few different ways to do it, there's maternity leave, paternity leave, and parental leave (an amount divvied up by the parents however they want). in my case my wife's getting 52 weeks at like 75 or 70% of her original earnings (starts at 75 and drops to 70 i think after 2 months or something) and i get 5 weeks at 70%, i can take them in weekly chunks anytime in the first year as long as i work it out with my employer (they have to give me that time somehow but have a say in when/how it happens, like a friend of mine had a very bureaucratic job and had to take it all in one go). there are other plans where you're off for less time but they give you a higher percentage and it works out to roughly the same amount.

it wouldn't be a perfect solution, but i'm an optimist in that i believe policy changes can influence and guide personal behavior over time

here in denmark its a bit of a mess. 4 last weeks of pregnancy the woman can take leave, then she gets 14 weeks maternity leave after the birth, wherein the man gets 2 weeks paternity leave. on top of those, there are 32 weeks of leave that the couple can split between them. theyre actually entitled to 32 weeks each, but only 32 total are paid (so they can split 16/16 paid or maybe both do 32 weeks but only one of them gets paid). if your contract doesnt specify full pay, youre guaranteed a rate thats based on your hourly salary, maxing out at around 700 usd per week

I like how Nadella said something that no competent CEO would ever say in public at a heavily publicized event specifically talking about income inequality for women working in tech.

The only way he could have hosed up more is if he stood up, unzipped his fly, and exposed his dick to everyone in the audience while saying "I GOT YOUR KARMA RIGHT HERE, LADIES."
