"Tech company will pay more than $3.8M to more than 5K employees, applicants"

Is this a joke? "Pay discrimination remains a systemic problem" but the punishment for doing so is a... $700/person fine?

I don't even know what to call a 3.8 MILLION (not billion) dollar fine of this kind. Even slap on the wrist seems like it exaggerates the scope.

3.8 million for 5500 people. What is that?

I would like to better understand the backstory here, but the optics of the US Dept of Labor settling a hiring discrimination issue against Google with this kind of slap on the wrist 11 days into the Biden administration are horrible. https://t.co/gwjWfomxeF

At $524 average per person, what currency are they using, Starbucks gift cards? https://t.co/MdQJkgfmoh

Did the lawsuit conclude that Google underpaid all these people by $450 each? What a strange legal outcome. https://t.co/zyZZO0pFFm

Google “will pay over $3.8 million to more than 5,500 current employees and job applicants” and set $1.2M aside in a compensation fund in a settlement addressing systemic hiring and pay discrimination. h/t ⁦@aprilaser⁩ https://t.co/q6YsI8YwE2

$2.5M. What a joke. 5500 plaintiffs; that's about $450/person. You call this punitive? It's not even equitable. 5500 plaintiffs.

In sports, they call this "loss of institutional control" and they ban your ass. Not $450/person. https://t.co/DuK2Yii5oZ

I'm sure that $524 per person will do wonders to make up for the impact on an entire career trajectory. ? https://t.co/u6LWqD5tl2

Google systematically underhired and underpaid women and Asian workers, and their slap on the wrist is like $538 for each plaintiff. https://t.co/tb2iRE99I8

Google's settlement with the Dept of Labor over systemic discrimination is so tiny that it should be understood as DoL saying "Sorry guys, I know this is inconvenient, but like we gotta do something. Won't happen again!" https://t.co/pm8WwrG6lP pic.twitter.com/2qKJIMeEtS
