State Street Corp., the $2.6 trillion asset manager that installed the Fearless Girl statue on Wall Street, agreed to settle U.S. allegations that it discriminated against hundreds of female executives by paying them less than male colleagues.

The custody bank will pay $5 million to more than 300 women, following a U.S. Department of Labor audit that uncovered the alleged discrepancies, according to a settlement agreement disclosed Wednesday.

The Labor Department alleged that women in senior leadership positions at Boston-based State Street received lower base salaries, bonus pay and total compensation since at least December 2010. The company said it has cooperated fully with the agency and that it disagreed with the findings of the audit, which was done in 2012.

Google employee sent Yiannopoulos a picture of a cartoon gingerbread man named “Gogy, the Googely Googler” that had been posted by a coffee machine to remind employees to tidy up. According to the Google employee, the sign had turned into an HR problem after employees were angered that Gogy was identified as male.



A Google spokesperson told BuzzFeed News the company has no record of Gogy or any related HR complaint.

I had only a slightly less cynical view of it, that they wanted to give this tiny concession in order to continue to head off more substantial gun control measures in the future.

that's one of the most infuriating things about bribery, like you can buy a politician to introduce and pass a bill that gives you a hundred million in profits for 10 or 20 k

lobbying and campaign contributions have the highest roi of any investment most businesses can make

campaign finance needs a complete rework, like, natural persons only, $100 tops

also, "issue" ads are political ads

also, ban all political ads outside of a 1-month window before the election
