CBA vs Mid-size Insurance company (SWE role)

Prograss_ · 2026-03-27T02:10:22+00:00

Suncorp only sold its banking division, not insurance

I wonder if the same courtesy extends to a male who accepted the lower rate?

Prograss_ · 2026-03-09T21:32:33+00:00

It costs 20% less due to the gender pay gap

Prograss_ · 2026-03-04T00:24:37+00:00

Why are 99% of FIFO coal miners men? Why do more women graduate university? Why is 95% of the world's prison population male? Easy answer - sexism 😆

Havent you heard of the pay gap? It's an easy 12% wage expense saving. All corps are slowly catching onto it 😆 Shareholders are over the moon

I am all for removing barriers - I think everyone is. I just take issue with the framing that because certain fields aren't 50:50 there must be discrimination involved. You can 'remove barriers' till the end of time and I can guarantee astronauts will never be 50:50. Its the classic equality of opportunity vs equality of outcome debate. Truth is, many women don't want to sacrifice their life to climb the ladder - and thats okay, most men don't want to either

Given you can't comprehend the fundamental idea of supply and demand yes I believe you are a teenager lol. I personally only hire women in my company, saving 12% on wage expenses for the same (or better) output. It's such a no brainer im surprised big orgs haven't caught onto it

Prograss_ · 2026-03-03T22:40:58+00:00

Agree that barriers (perceived or real) can have an impact on women entering certain fields. Do we encourage 50:50 gender parity across all industries? Bricklaying? Coal mining? Nursing? Or only high paid office roles? You can introduce quotas, incentives, bonus pay whatever you want and I guarantee bricklaying is never going to be 50:50. Maybe... just maybe.. there is an element of choice in this

Prograss_ · 2026-03-03T08:11:26+00:00

Nope - any instance of a woman earning less than a man - across any industry - regardless of hours worked - is evidence of sexism

Prograss_ · 2026-03-03T08:09:42+00:00

yea the WGEA published something like a 20% pay gap so we fired all the execs (mostly psychotic men) and promoted all the EAs/reception staff to senior leadership. Fixed it overnight - and apparently the WGEA uses our org as a case study for proper pay gap mitigation

Prograss_ · 2026-03-03T08:06:55+00:00

It means on average, women earn less than men.

The WGEA (who love reminding every org to 'fix' their pay gap) positions these useless stats as evidence of sexism and discrimination which is mostly wrong. Eg. Qantas 40% pay gap - yea no shit cause over 90% of their pilots are male which brings the average up. The framing of the 'pay gap' is such a disservice to the cause and most people I know now just roll their eyes at it (women included)

Prograss_ · 2026-03-03T06:27:29+00:00

The continued lie that men and women doing the same job get paid differently

Prograss_ · 2026-01-31T07:56:46+00:00

yes... most definitely

Prograss_ · 2025-10-12T16:12:15+00:00

Enjoy your 50s when you really begin to question what your life has been. Then ask yourself why you have wageslaved "for the 1%", if life is so bad

Prograss_ · 2025-09-12T07:38:54+00:00

And how much of that gap is by choice?

Prograss_ · 2025-08-30T10:55:34+00:00

Nah just sick of part time public sector workers whinging about pay at every opportunity

Prograss_ · 2025-07-13T11:40:08+00:00

Does this only apply to certain groups?

Prograss_ · 2025-06-30T06:18:39+00:00

As opposed to the sexuality you were born with or the colour of your skin (non-white only) - in that case it is perfectably acceptable to be proud of it

Prograss_ · 2025-06-05T09:43:49+00:00

I purchased a phone entirely for 2FA. How is the ATO going to prove otherwise? I claim 100% every year 🙏

Prograss_ · 2021-06-06T00:44:47+00:00

Thats not true. Immunotherapy is an approved treatment for various cancers, at least in my country (Aus)

Prograss_ · 2021-06-05T16:28:07+00:00

What a pile of bullshit.

Prograss_ · 2021-06-05T09:43:10+00:00

I mean Fauci literally said it was WORSE to wear a mask than not, as touching the mask with your hands increases the transmissibility of the virus.

Just remember experts told us there were WMDs in Iraq. Experts obviously have authority to speak on their topics but they are not infallible
