Hey #BookTwitter. I think you hopefully all know I generally try to keep this a positive space, but I can’t really put a positive spin on how I feel right now.

My heart is broken, and I’m so disappointed in a company who won’t forgive a single mistake like this. pic.twitter.com/Bc42FlH45D
tl;dw: This TIRF worked at a bookstore and posted that she was going to throw a TERF author's books in the trash. She got fired and now she's posted a video of herself simultaneously indignant and whining like a b-word
The tweet that got her canned:

I've worked for this company for 4 years. I work hard. My job is designed for a team of two people who do identical work. In my 4 years here I have seen 5 people come and go as the second person on the team . The newest guy joined 2 weeks ago. Today i learned he earns more money than me
I can't prove that it is gender related but our gender is literally the only difference between the two of us (except that i have more experience and responsibility....!?)
Yea sounds like he negotiated for higher pay.
All these excuses are crazy! Equal pay for equal work.
stfu commie
How some places have no workers protection is nuts. I'd leave them high and dry and not train the new person....but I'm petty. Look for another job.
And you'd get a shitty reference who'd tell people you walked out without notice.
Saaaaame. I've worked at this company for a decade and they pay some little shit that wears the same unwashed, aromatic basketball shorts to work from March to November twice my salary. He does half the work I do
Ask for a raise.
"Because he has a family to support."
Even if they don't say it out loud, they always have some fricked up logic as to why men deserve more money, usually that their financial needs are somehow more than women.
Yea, and so what? He might actually have a family to support.
This is something that's done to childless people, not just women. People with children are often seen as more deserving and having higher salary needs than a childless person. People with children get priority for vacations too, it's incredibly frustrating. If you go to /r/childfree you'll hear many stories like this.
Because they literally are. Children are the life blood of a country, you refusing to have them hurts everyone and you should be punished for it.
My SIL won a lawsuit for this very reason. Just saying.
Yeah not sure why people are defending this. In several states (CA and NY I can name off the top of my head) it's illegal to pay someone of a protected class less for similar positions and work. And depending on the state, they also need to give you all the back pay for the time you were underpaid. The only legal reasons to pay more require the employer to show it is based on merit or years of experience. It does not matter if their intention was to discriminate based on gender, it's still illegal.
Which is a great reason not to hire women at all. Also bullshit. You're telling me no one can negotiate their pay in CA or NY? That it's set by the lowest paid foid?
salary is usually based on the market at the time you get hired! anybody coming in after you has a leg up, and almost no company is going to give you a raise comparable to market rate. it's why it's better for employees to job hop every year or two nowadays. it's the fastest way to get nice raises. companies used to reward people for staying but those incentives are practically non existent now.
!nooticers I always see this said on reddit but have never seen it irl. Interesting that.
Go to HR, tell them that you were made aware that, despite you having more experience and doing the same job, you are being paid less. Ask for a raise to what he is making, plus 3% cost of living for each of the last 4 years you have been there. If they won't give it to you, polish up your resume and start looking for another job. Keep this one until you find another, and don't tell them your looking, just do it. You don't want to work for a company like that.
Advocating for yourself? Very male coded
I work in HR. Honestly, I would advise anyone who has been in their position for 4 years to look for another job. That is the best and fastest way to increase your salary, even without any gender discrimination bullshit. But I get that some folks love their jobs and are willing to accept being paid less to stay there. Also, in case you are not aware, in the US, it is illegal for companies to punish any employee for discussing their salary with other employees or prevent them from doing so. It's also illegal to retaliate against an employee for doing so.
I love how reddit, the most union peepee suckingist site says shit like this. You will never get anywhere in a union field by job hopping.
After talking to HR, send a follow-up email summarizing your conversation. You want everything documented in writing - the disparity in salary and experience, their response, etc. Be professional, and just provide a recap. Capture a screenshot and send it to your personal email. That way, if they should suddenly find performance issues, you have a case for reporting them for retaliating.
And they'll have a good reason for firing you! Not many places like you exfiltrating company property and yes emails count.
When this happened to me I went to my boss and I told him it seems like getting a new job is the best way to get a raise because it worked out for this new employee. So I told him he needs to give me a raise or I need to leave. He didn't believe me so I found a new job and gave my notice. At that point he tried to give me a raise, but the new job was paying me so much more he couldn't/wouldn't match it.
an ultimatum is the most r-slurred way to go about this. The threat is already implied in you even asking for the raise.
Your pay is determined by how well you did at your last job, not your current one.
Working hard is only worth something if you can leverage it into a better salery next time. If you're not intending to change job, then there's no real purpose to putting in more work or taking on responsibility.
These are the same people complaining their bosses don't care about them

I'm a 30yo woman working in London.
Tonight I was waiting to cross a busy street outside a station and some thin dude on a bike slowly rolled passed, looked at me and spat right to my face. I had the reflex to turn away and I tried to run after him. I called the police who was not very helpful except taking details and just being very nonchalant about it.
About a year ago a group of young men on bikes were in a park and one of them literally approached me to spit in my face. Called the police immediately. Got a crime number, of course nothing was done and I didn't even get a call back so I'm really not hopeful on what happened to me tonight.
Am I missing something? Has this become acceptable behaviour? I asked the police that tonight and she said it certainly wasn't "an every day thing".
I really don't stand out in a crowd, I'm an average woman height/build and have blonde hair. How can this have happened to me twice and not be more common? I'm livid this has happened to me twice and must be happening to many women in the city who don't report those disgusting scumb*gs.
EDIT: I have removed the ethnicity of the perpetrator - even if that's just a factual observation - since it's all some comments are focusing on and isn't the point of the post.
this is what women voted for and they deserve it

I think she is guilty, but I have no Idea about the case or what happened.
Now that's attorney-client privilege.
Karen Read was spotted cuddling up to her attorney Alan Jackson outside a high-end Boston steakhouse last week as jurors deliberated over whether she murdered her Boston cop boyfriend in 2022.
The iPhone live photo appeared to capture Jackson, a star criminal defense attorney from Los Angeles, wrapping his client in an embrace — with one arm around her midsection and another tight across her chest — on June 27 outside Smith & Wollensky in downtown Beantown.
In the 1.5-second clip, Read, 44, appeared to smile as Jackson — who wore a wedding ring throughout the trial — grabs her while they watch two other people pose for a photo outside the restaurant.
The Post has verified that the metadata of the original photo shows it was taken in the area of the steakhouse as the jury deliberated.
"I was eating dinner with my wife and I happened to look out and see them outside, and it looked wrong and inappropriate so I just grabbed the closest phone and took a picture," said the photographer, who did not want to be named.
"It was just her attorney kinda I don't know what you would call it. It looked inappropriate for an attorney-client type situation."
The Smith & Wollensky where the snap was taken is not far from a North End restaurant where Read and Jackson were earlier photographed dining with members of the legal team, and wearing the same outfits seen in the embrace photo – a dark sleeveless top on Read, and a navy blue T-shirt and blue jeans on Jackson.
Before the embrace, Read was being beckoned to join two people for a photo. Those people's outfits — a blue collared shirt and dark shoes on one man, and a rectangular black watch on the other — matched the same outfits worn by the others in the North End dinner photo.
The photo was publicized on the X account Masshole Mafia run by Kate Peter, who told The Post she was one of several people who obtained the shot.
Peter has been vocal in her belief that Read is guilty of killing Officer John O'Keefe, and runs the account as one of several partisan social media pages that have cropped up in the wake of the high-profile investigation.
O'Keefe was found dead in a snowbank in Canton, Massachusetts — outside Boston — in January 2022. Prosecutors alleged Read hit O'Keefe with her Lexus SUV and left him for dead in the cold after a night of heavy drinking.
Read hired a high-profile legal team, including Jackson — a high-flying former LA County prosecutor who went on to represent big-name clients, including Harvey Weinstein and Kevin Spacey.

Dianna decided to shave her head to make it easier on herself for her journey with #LongCovid and #MECFS. Many people struggling with this disease choose to do this if bed-bound for extended periods of time, like Dianna has been.

The video is up on Twitter but it would be extremely unethical to reupload it here.
/r/ukdrill found a photo of her with her husband (she's wearing a ring in the video )
Edit:
She also has a Reddit account. Her Insta and OnlyFans were deleted.
