Are you effing serious?! INCREASE THE FEMALE'S SALARIES INSTEAD! Jesus.

This was a budgetary solution. Instead of lowering everyone's salaries, they lowered the male ones by a higher percentage. While a backward way of going about addressing a wage gap, it was their most equitable solution without cutting personnel.
-
That is still idiotic.
-
It’s not that idiotic. BBC had to cut payroll, so they decided to take it from their male employees only. Better than an across the board cut which would disproportionately hurt women.
-
Yeah ok. That is a real morale booster in the workplace I’m sure. Not!
-
Doing the right thing doesn’t always mean everyone gets a pony.
-
I believe that it is not the right thing. There was a need to cut the payroll, and in that process they made it political. That’s not good business.
-
They made it political when they decided to pay the men more.

Because remedying underpaying one gender by underpaying the other makes everything ok. Also, seems there are again only two genders.

I can't keep up anymore.

The Left would prefer the poor be more poor so long as the rich were less rich.

Suzy: “Mommy, Billy has 7 chocolate bars and I only have 5.” Mommy: “Okay Suzy, do you want one more chocolate bar?” Suzy: “NO! I want us to have the same number of chocolate bars!” Mommy: “Fine, Billy - give me two of your chocolate bars. Are you happy, Suzy?” Suzy: “Yes.”pic.twitter.com/n8ZK4jDetg

That’s what Suzy wanted. Instead it was Suzy: Billy has 7 chocolate bars and I only have 2 Mom: ok I will eat 4 of Billy’s and tell him it is all your fault. And by the way billy is your boss. Good luck with your work environment (sorry for losing the Metaphor)

yeah... time to stop paying people based on merit! pay on GENDER! wait...what?? aren't there 26 genders now?!
-
Men getting paid more rather than paying people based on merit is literally the problem.
-
On further reflection, this was a bit unfair. It's not the entire problem. You assuming that the men's salaries were higher because they deserved it, and that women would be expected to make less on a merit-based system, is also the problem.

How about firing the people at the top that allowed this to go on for so long and use the money to upgrade the women to fair pay?!
