Women - Know your limits.

But seriously, with my attitude towards the fairer sex, I should be earning at least an eight figure salary...

I would post a sexist joke here, but I dont think the women would get it.

"Another theory suggests that employers are more likely to promote men who are the sole earner in preference to those who do not - they recognise that they need more support for their families, because they are the breadwinner."

Small employers often do. Because all their staff are important. Large employers...well I hope never to work for one again. Unless I'm near the top.

Those BJs they receive from their secretaries must make them work harder.

I've worked for a very small (four people) and fairly large company (220 people), and in my experience all they're interested in is spending as little as possible on wages so the top-brass can have big houses and flash cars. They're all the same - you have to have a work ethic but they don't have to have a pay ethic.

Gotta agree, there seem to be 2 types of employers:

Type 1 doesn't give a st about you or your expenses.
Type 2 takes an interest in you and your life... But still doesn't give a st about your expenses.

yes & when the chips are down no matter how hard you'#ve worked they'll kick you into the ditch to save a few £'s.

I wonder if this will add a new dimension to annual appraisals for those who have a female boss? What better time to show her how sexist you can really be?

This time next year, Rodney...

yes

Employers do not give a st what you spend your money on.

Like anyone. They just care that they pay a fair price for services recieved. Employers pay market rates or thereabouts because otherwise they find recruitment and retention difficult.

If you think you should be paid more - get another job that pays more - that's market forces for you. The world is very simple when it comes to these things.
