UBER Under Fire For Discriminating Against Women. by TechCapon(m): 11:48am On Jul 18, 2018
TechCapon



Popular ride-hailing company UBER Technologies is currently face probe from the United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission following series of complaints about gender inequality being practiced by the company. The instigators are looking deeply into the process of hiring and payment of workers by the company because it has been reported severally that UBER doesn’t hire much females or pay them equally with their male counterparts.



The investigators have been interviewing former and current Uber employees as well as seeking documents from its executives in order to establish a full case. This is coming just few days after Uber Chief People Officer Liane Hornsey resigned after an investigation into how she handled allegations of racial discrimination at the ride-hailing firm. Meanwhile, Uber said it has already revamped its compensation practices and introduced other measures designed to ensure its male and female employees are treated fairly. The new CEO Uber hired in September 2017 Dara Khosrowshahi, has since his arrival, been focused on cleaning up Uber’s corporate culture poisoned by a pattern of sexual harassment and other abuses. If the EEOC finds Uber broke the law by paying women differently than men for the performing the same jobs, the agency could slap heavy fines on the company as punishment.

Are you sure my dear?

Though I agree they should get equal pay for equal work done,
But I still think you can't employ male and female 50/50.

The male folks have more responsibilities compared to the female folks.

even when a woman works as the husband, she still expects the husband to foot all the bills'

Are they working same hours/job role as the men?
If yes, they should get same pay. If no, they should keep kwayet.

As for being discriminated against, on what basis exactly?

I think some of these women need to realise they don't just wake up and decide where and when they don't wanna be discriminated against. Same way most of these women won't hire a male nanny, that's how some men won't want a female driver.

Sometimes, these choices are not due to hate.

Re: UBER Under Fire For Discriminating Against Women. by BiafranDel: 7:26am On Jul 19, 2018
What nonsense. What kind of a man even wants to be driven by a common woman.

My company My rules. You don't decide for me who i choose to employ and who i choose not to.

Besides, women are weak vessels.
How can they have the same pay with men in a field dominated by men.

Even if they work the same time. Men should still be paid more because men are more productive than women.

Any company built on the foundation of women can never progress and is bound to fail.

Women are generally unproductive beings and with what we see everyday in this country, this statement is a fact.

That being said, there is no way they should get the same pay with men even if they do the same amount of work.
If you don't like your pay, tender your resignation letter and find your way out of the company.
You don't wanna be discriminated at work because you are a woman, then go build your own fortune and be the boss of you.

As long as it is the world outside, women will always be below men.
I rest my case.

The whole point of this investigation was posted in the op, but still, some just decided to leave the topic and look for what they can use to bash women as they foolishly do, others decided to be stupid.

It's good these women are speaking out. And it's good they can speak out and be heard.

This is utter bollocks. Women don't face any form of discrimination in the tech world. They are simply not good enough to break in, hence the need for favorable policies and quotas to have opportunities, which is in this case an actual form of discrimination to males in tech industry.
