Anyway, I never joined the class action suit but about a year later I received in the mail a check for $12. I was like, what the eff is this? Found out they settled out of court and instead of giving those HR ladies the millions, someone made the call to split the millions with every female who had ever worked for the company, past and present, thousands and thousands of us.
Yeah, as a woman I feel we really stuck it to The Man!  |
You can bet that the lawyers representing the female employees made slightly more than $12 each.
Maybe some of them were women.
