Allstate Insurance Co, which is being sued by a former female employee who was purposely paid less than men performing the same job, has announced that it is good business practice to pay women less because it encouraged higher productivity! Apparently this woman was paid $850 when men doing the exact same job were being paid $1000. Can anyone believe that in this day and age that people, especially someone in such a high corporate position, could be like this? It's a little unnerving.
