  1. Honestly, if that headline is true all it will take is a court challenge with current laws to fix the issue.

  2. It is and it’s giving current racists recruitment material.

  3. It’s from the dailywire.com. Culture war bs and provocative articles are their bread and butter.

  4. Imagine being stupid enough to believe anything that the daily wire says

  5. Replace “white” with any other race or ethnicity and people would be boycotting Microsoft and trying to burn down their buildings.

  6. I’m surprised the internet isn’t saying you’re racist for posting this. You’re supposed to only point out racism against non-whites.

  7. Here is a prime example of the racist toxic effect of the right-wing propaganda machine. The pay is essentially the same. The anti-American propaganda machine is ginning up hatred and division in America over 0.7%. To Microsoft, the pay is the same. To racists it’s Microsoft is bragging about paying whites less. The right-wing propaganda machine is truly EVIL.

  8. I’m gonna guess that South and East Asians get paid more, and is as much as anything a product of a bigger cultural emphasis on both status and negotiation. Status seekers will ask for greater compensation, and those will superior negotiation skills are more likely to get it.

  9. lmao if they publish something saying this on official company emails they would be so screwed the moment they get sued.

  10. Why do ppl just post screenshots of article titles and not the articles themselves? I notice it happens a lot with controversial topics.

  11. Depends on the current definition of racism.

    I understand definitions change over time, but rapidly changing meanings of important words is a psyop.

  12. I’ll never understand why some of these “Progressive’s” are dead set on division amongst people.

    Pay people according to their level of skill and experience. Of course this is racist.

  13. It’s the definition of racism, but as long as it happens to white people its deemed ok for some reason

  14. This is why some of you deserve bad journalism. Look at this title. Filled with words meant to fill you with emotions before you ever even read the article. This isn’t journalism. This isn’t reporting. This is opinion and the daily wire is horse shit.

    You don’t need spin when these companies are public and their books are open. Go look for yourself and quit looking for someone else to tell you how to think. You don’t need spin at all if you don’t want someone else to tell you what to think.

  15. The Daily Wire is an American conservative news website and media company founded in 2015 by political commentator Ben Shapiro and film director Jeremy Boreing.

    Key highlights (relevant to topic)

    – The representation of women and most racial and ethnic minority groups (Asian, Black and African American, Hispanic and Latinx, and multiracial employees) has increased at all levels over the past five years.
    – At Microsoft, we are committed to the principle of pay equity, which accounts for factors that legitimately influence total pay including things like job title, level and tenure. As of September 2023:
    — Inside the U.S., all racial and ethnic minority groups who are rewards-eligible combined earn $1.007 total pay for every $1.000 earned by U.S. rewards-eligible white employees with the same job title and level and considering tenure.
    — Inside the U.S., women who are rewards-eligible earn $1.007 total pay for every $1.000 earned by rewards-eligible employees who are men and have the same job title and level, and considering tenure; outside the U.S., women who are rewards-eligible earn $1.003 total pay for every $1.000 earned by rewards-eligible employees who are men and have the same job title and level, and considering tenure.

    Parsing the language, it would appear that the TOTALITY of the POC and Women together earn .007 cents more than their single white counterpart. Meaning, I believe, that if you pulled all white earners together they may still earn more. Implying there is still a lot of catching up to do in order to achive 1:1 parity.

    Can someone check my understanding? Corpos like to use a lot of gish gallop.

  16. It’s not racist. Because it’s racism against white people.

  17. It not racist if the other side is doing it. If *they’re* doing it it, it’s (D)ifferent- it’s ‘only fair’ when they do it. /s

  18. OP is a piece of shit for this. As if there’s not enough terrible things happening that are real, you have to skew information for upvotes

  19. Has Microsoft heard of the Civil Rights Act? You cannot discriminate on the basis of race; regardless the race.

  20. Yes it’s racist. Race shouldn’t be a factor in salary.

  21. This thread just goes to show how god damn stupid and programmed the right wingers are. They are so easily triggered snowflakes by saying key words. They abandon all logic and react as they are programmed to act. .7% difference? Not by policy? My god it’s racist! The poor whites!

    No concern for statistical significance, these homoerectus are ignorant of the term.
