Didn't read the whole article but this stood out to me;

"Confirm that men and women with the same qualifications are earning the same amount and that they are receiving promotions and raises at similar rates (and if not, explore why)."

Yeah, no. I have never worked for a company which pays employees based on skill, it's all in salary negotiations. If you work for a company where salaries aren't public, then this is the case for you. Also, although anecdotal, in my experience men are willing to risk more when they know they're worth more than what they're being paid.

all companies pay employees based on skills. it is just that skill is not the only variable and sometimes not the most important. but definitely skills play a major part.

How many companies claim to be a "meritocracy"? If it's a big lie, we should admit it.

Negotiating is also a skill. Most companies are negotiation meritocracies.

They claim to be technical skill/programming meritocracies.
