IT Employment

Where did he/she get the idea to ask this ?

Gender, ethnics, age or any other consideration, apart from knwoledge, experience and performance COULD NOT and MUST NOT be considered for the money you get in your job.

A different consideration is that the employer must encourage and take positive actions that assure there are no kind of such discrimination among co-workers.

Personally, I think that is ths stupidest idea I have ever heard. AND I have heard a lot of stupid ideas! Bonuses should be based on PERFORMANCE NOT GENDER!

If you were trying to elicit an angry response, it worked.

I am a woman and have worked in the IT field for 25 years. I think I have been respected for my abilities as a tech and I hate to think that the only reason I am in my position is because I am a woman. If I were paid a bonus for being the only woman on a team, then I could only surmise that others felt that I was overcoming a handicap of some kind. Being a woman is NOT a handicap.

She might be getting extra for getting coffee. :)

Or perhaps Mr. Ronald is the one who is doing wrong here (please McDonald can you bring me a BigMac with french fries and diet soda...?).

I usually do consider this a serious forum, but I was unable to resist (this topic is a joke). I offer my sincere apology to the politically correct police.

BTW, good comeback, I've never heard that one before.
