BS statement translation.
1>>>Oracle's practice of using a staffer's prior pay to set starting rates<<< - Well that's a big help in improving equality, they're waiting until everyone else does it first. Are all graduate entries paid the same? (prior pay=$zip)
2>>>It also claimed that drawing up such a report "would be costly and time-consuming"<<< Could it provide unwelcome evidence for the class action?
3>>>"would not lead to meaningful gains in support of workforce diversity and gender pay equity".<<< would job applications from those well qualified but considered to be incorrectly diverse & gendered disappear?.
4>>>unconscious bias programme<<< - Is it none responsive to any attempt at getting it to be proactive.
5>>>"there is a very real threat to its competitive position" if its diversity information was made public.<<< Do they think there're so bad they'd be blackballed by companies not wanting to be associated with them?
As corporate 'defending their position' statements go, this is 'full-auto' to both feet.
