Reported for Sexism: I Nuked All the Benefits
Out of the blue, I get a call from the Department of Labor. The officer tells me they received a complaint, accusing me of gender discrimination. Apparently, my treatment of the male and female employees is extremely unequal.
I'm left feeling utterly bewildered.
Out of compassion for my employees, I give the female employees paid leave during their periods and pregnancy. I also give the male employees the benefit of a family support allowance.
I've never discriminated against anyone because of their gender, and neither have I ever mistreated any of the employees.
But then, I proceed to see the social media post that has gone viral.
"A certain company gives male employees an additional allowance of a thousand dollars a month! Male and female employees are given different treatment!"
Having caught on right away, I call a staff meeting and announce, "All of the company benefits have been canceled. You will only receive the basic benefits listed in your employment contract."
Everyone goes up in arms.
