In an effort to address wage equity among women and members of minority groups, Google studied its own practices as it does every year. But the results showed the company was underpaying more men than women for doing similar jobs in software engineering.

Google compensated 10,677 employees an extra $9.7 million to offset the underpaid wages found in the study, the company wrote in a blog post, though it's unclear what percentage of those recipients were men. In 2017, Google said it increased compensation for 228 employees it found were underpaid, spending a total of about $270,000.

That doesn't surprise me actually. I think when the information about women's pay came around they over compensated. It'll probably balance out in a couple of years. Can't hate on that though

How hard is it to equally pay people who deserve it no matter their gender/sexual preference/race...?
