Re: Misleading information...

"A man and a women in the same company, with the same job and working the same hours are required by UK law to be paid exactly the same."

Hence largely why salaries are confidential.

"And in almost every case they are."

bs. Just look at the many such instances at the BBC for instance. Women are in general cheaper / less valuable. If made to artificially pay them the same then people can fix that via the bonus / promotion / pay rise system. And if someone raised such an issue via say HR, then good luck getting a job anywhere else. It's a small world in tech.
