While all these verified Twitter accounts praise their female employees and celebrate International Women’s Day, the stats speak for themselves.
The gist:
A Twitter Bot, “using statistics from the U.K. government’s registry of gender pay gap data, “ is giving the accurate updates on “whether certain businesses offer men and women equal pay. And it specifically targets companies that are tweeting about International Women’s Day.”
The culprits—businesses that maintain a significant pay gap between men and women—range from “soccer teams to local police forces to branches of Oxford University.” Ouch.
You probably “won’t be surprised to learn that a lot of @PayGapApp’s targets responded by simply deleting their original tweets.”
