    Foltz claims that she received a $92,000 annual salary while men with the same duties and qualifications received an annual salary of $115,000.

    Foltz also claims that SpaceX uses different job titles for the same position as a way to pay women and minorities less than their white or male counterparts, TechCrunch reported.

    This is an empty claim. She didn’t even have the same job titles as the people she was comparing herself against. There are a thousand reasons one person can be paid more than another. Often it’s just negotiating prowess. Often it’s the responsibility of the job title, and the risk and hours that entails. Often it’s tenure at the company, or social skills. Her claim amounts to, “pay me more because I have a vagina.” No.

        It is also an extremely practice in companies to underpay staff, especially women and minorities. This has been known for decades.

        I literally quoted that exact passage. Did you read my comment before you replied or did you just rage post when your world view was threatened?
