Quite literally every corporation I’ve worked in until my current company pulled this shit, but very specifically in the technical roles. It usually led to the women in question leaving, and perhaps that was the intent. When I was doing interviews for my team, I had even heard my boss’s boss mentioning how picking one of the female candidates would be “cheaper” and I didn’t understand until later what he meant. My direct boss at that company was one of the few to buck that trend where he could honestly, but that place screwed me over quite a few times in other ways. For the record, none of these gender pay issues hindered me, I’m a guy.
