BBC Womens pay gap

[Cupramax]

Am I the only one mildly amused by Carrie Gracies hissy fit about the gender pay gap at the Beeb. While I note she "resigned" from her post as China editor she is of course still staying on the tax payer gravy train as a newsreader/presenter. Oh how i laughed, clearly her morals dont stretch to resigning entirely due to the money stream not being quite so bad in that job? Perhaps they should make an example of her and give her the boot, but no, the hand wringers would have a field day.

Nope, thats pretty much as i heard it too, does seem a bit bizarre watching BBC reporting on themselves.

If she's resigned, how come she was on R4's "Today" this morning.

How many organisations allow you to resign from one job, trash your employer's pay policy in public, then find you another job.

This was my point entirely, can you imagine the reaction if this happened in pretty much any normal company, you'd be out of your desk so quick your feet wouldnt touch the ground, plus the fact discussing pay rates is usually against most companies rules.

BBC staff obviously think they are above any of this.

Couldn't the Chinese just make a cheap, knock off Carrie Gracie?

And call her Callie Glacie... ahso, I thank you

If companies could pay women less money than men for doing the same job, why would they employ any men.

Someone has to make sure the job is done correctly.
