So the University has posted it's pay equity plan. You are now paid according to 35.0% skill, 28.0% effort, 26.5% responsibility, and 10.5% working conditions. Genius is no-longer 5% inspiration and 95% perspiration. Following is some of the changes that will be made in salary. The fems column lists female dominated jobs, then the number in that position, then salary. Then comes male dominated job deemed comparable, then male salary, then total adjustment to the female dominated job salary. Female dominated means 50% or more of employees are female. I've sorted alphabetically by male job instead of female as they posted it, to show you something.

Where does it come from you ask? Will they raise tuition? NO! Will we get more grant money? NO! Will private contribution and contract work make up the margin? NO! They are going to fire people to make it up. Enrollment has never been higher. They are planning on closing entire departments in the smaller suburban campuses. I'd love to calculate how much it would cost to bump everybody to the max in each category, but they didn't tell us how many men were in each category. To give the raises to the women alone would be over $12 million. They also gave no info on how gender neutral or male dominated but "equivalent" categories did on equity. I think in a couple years I may apply to emigrate to Russia. Soon they may be more capitalist than Canada. d"I'm not going to bother expanding the silly abreviations because clearly none of them mean anything anyway because they all get evaluated by some sillyass formula that means nothing anyway"e
