Well, this world is not a fair place to work. It was Sudha
Murthy in the mid 1970s who broke the barrier of gender bias and got onto the
shop floor to work equally like men. That makes it obvious that they expect an
equal pay for the work they do. But, the modern entrepreneurs don’t follow that
thinking is what has been proven recently. It is not unknown to us about the
recent buzz created by Satya Nadella, the CEO of Microsoft about the hikes in
women pay packages at an event for women in this corporate world.
"It's not really about
asking for a raise, but knowing and having faith the system would actually give
you the right raises as you go along. And that I think that might be one of the
additional superpowers that, quite frankly, women who don't ask for a raise
have. Because that's good karma, it will come back. Because somebody's going to
know, that's the kind of person that I want to trust; that's the kind of person
I want to really give more responsibility to."
This is what he stated. Now that’s not a crime to ask for
rise in salary for the work we do. So he is trying to convince us by using big
words like ‘karma’ in a world like this which doesn’t even know the meaning of
the word. There is a lot of injustice done to women in terms of the salary they
receive. Though they work equal to women for a particular post, they are asked
to follow ‘karma’ where men are treated liberally. Women are not supposed to
ask for hikes, but rather should have faith in this ‘system’ that will do
justice as one moves on. Is that a fair statement? I mean, how much is this
system taking care of working women?
If women don’t raise their voice against this bias, there
wouldn’t be any change in this so called ‘fair system’. The project leaders and
higher officials in fact should observe the work of their sub-ordinates closely
and recommend for hikes in salary without gender discrimination as, with
greater power comes greater responsibility. After all, even women calculate the
budget of a household making money as the basis, not karma.
