Reply to comment by [deleted] in US transparency laws trigger disputes over pay disparities by Daddy_Macron

>we have a millenial

Why in the world does this matter

>she was granted 6 months maternity leave at full pay

Good, people have kids and financial support for them during a relatively short period of the child's life is great.

>right before she was due to come back she sent a note to her direct superior essentially saying she wouldn't come back if she wasn't paid more money.

Also good, it's important to know your worth and get paid it. If she asks for more than what they'll pay her than that's that and it won't happen, otherwise there's only benefits in asking.

>unlike the rest of us - fully remote due to some bullshit note from her doctor

Seems like a problem with your workplace demanding you go in more than a fault of hers.

Maybe instead of disparaging millennials you take a hint and fight for yourself.

Sorry but if she negotiated for herself and the company gave it to her obviously they thought she was worth it.

Don’t be a crab in a bucket. Go get yours too.

There two groups of people thdt hate the new salary disclosure rules. The people thdt were getting away with getting over on others and the bitter thdt are mad that now they see what they should of made but were too scared to stand up for themselves.

Now if you're Black or a woman this law is great. I had an agency offer me $185k for a role I know was worth $220k with my level of experience. I turned it down so imagine my amusement when I see it on LinkedIn at the price it should of been.

LOL. "Privilege goblins" are the assholes running a business who get pissed when an employee demands fair pay. Even worse are the collaborators who, rather than get fair pay for themselves, get angry at those who do.
