I don&#x27;t understand this &#x27;gender pay gap&#x27; concept at all. Whatever figure my compensation is is, to a large extent, quite arbitrary. Sure there&#x27;s a general sense of what range I should expect my salary to be in, based on my experience&#x2F;location&#x2F;etc, but really the final figure comes down to whatever number gets thrown out and accepted in negotiation.<p>So if you poll half a workforce who are male, and poll half a workforce who are female, and discover that their pay doesn&#x27;t line up... why would you be surprised?
