When I graduated from uni I went to work at Robert Holts which became Carters as an accountancy cadet and a boy cadet started the same day - we were both leap year - that really was a coincidence- my first experience of getting paid less because I was a female even though my degree was higher than his and I wasn’t allowed to join the super scheme - after I had been there a few years I fought them and won on both fronts - good days
That sounds like a really lovely day Jan.
And I've yet to find any good reason as to why a man should be paid more for doing the exact same job a woman does for less pay. Blatant misogynistic discrimination, imo. so well done you for fighting them & winning.
Mowed back lawn - or at least the parts which are still green & growing - which didn't take as long as usual, but if I'd left it then it would have been much harder to mow.
in order to be old & wise, you must first be young & stupid. (I'm still working on that.)
