Nothing is ever really fair, is it? While the gender pay gap has shrunk trifold since 2016 – women being only 7 cents away from earning the same as an average American man, as compared to 21 cents – the same can‘t be said about fair treatment at work.
As this man shares in his r/antiwork confession, his dear wife was shortchanged because, well, not everyone does have a well-earning husband as she does. In other words, her male counterparts needed a pay raise “more” because they’re breadwinners and this non-descript company values female workers based on how much their tech-savvy husbands make. Say you‘re sexist without saying you‘re sexist, right?
Seeing that the partially responsible husband took it to heart even more than the unfairly-treated wife, user u/DLS3141 shared the story with fellow Redditors and quickly received many different suggestions.
Getting a raise is a natural part of the career ladder and should not be determined based on anything else other than performance

Most people in the comments couldn’t believe this is still happening in the 21st century
