Do you think the "gender pay gap" is real?

@buck No offense, but that's bull. You can't test work ethic. And work ethic is more powerful than any of the others. And there isn't a test for good attitude. But without it, the entire work place can unravel.

I was deciding between two employees on which one to keep when the economy took a down turn. I fired a guy with a BA in a particular discipline and kept the guy with no degree. They both made the same amount. The guy I kept had a far superior work ethic and was clearly more interested in looking out for my best interests due to his attitude. The other guy, while being very skilled, was dragging down the others with a bad attitude.

Now, you tell me what's an equitable pay plan between these two men. I let the BA guy go, and gave the other guy a raise.
