There's a Big Gender Gap in CEO Pay -- Bad Negotiating Isn't the Reason.
The Washington Post; subscription may be required Link to more items from this source
[Opinion]
Aug. 14, 2013
"of the top executives at each of the companies in the S&P 500 index, only 8 percent were women, and that these women at the top ranks of Corporate America earned 18 percent less than men.... It's true that women often don't bargain hard enough for higher pay... But consider that women at the very top of the S&P 500 are probably among the best negotiators in the world, given their day jobs. And even if some of them might feel shy sometimes about asking for more money, the idea that their unwillingness to negotiate can account for an 18 percent pay gap flies in the face of study after study showing that gender inequality isn't the result of women being scared to stand up for themselves. It's subtle biases that inform how we all -- men and women -- evaluate one another."
