SPEAKING OUT

Gender Pay Gap?

I don't think it is wrong that women who have put motherhood and being a wife as primary in their life get paid less when compared to their male (and single female) counterparts who put career first. As an employer, there is definitely a difference between those who are career focused and give 100% dedication vs those who put their personal lives first for whatever reason. What do you all think?
