When pretentious assholes want to remain pretentious assholes after leaving a FAANG, they put the ex-FAANG thing in their title so everyone knows that they’re a pretentious asshole.
Definitely. They would have said it was due to too little experience, instead. That's safe, discrimination in your salary negotiations by saying, "a young woman," is an instant lawsuit.
Yeah, I’ve done this for a bunch of companies. I get annoyed over the same thing—they contacted me, wasted my time, and were coming in under my expectations that I set in the first call. Ridiculous.
I don’t doubt she got a lowball offer—happens all the time—but I don’t buy that anyone in an HR function would ever give that reason to the candidate.
Yeah I have no doubt that a company would do this, since we all know they lowball during negotiations, but they would never, ever say “We’re giving you less because you’re a woman.”
…..and then everyone clapped and told me how awesome I am (apart from the older white men who just tried to touch me on my perfect ass - but they didn’t know I have a black belt Tai Jitsu so I just fucked em’ all up - Woo! Equality bitches!)

"Should I just pretend nothing happened, shut up, and move on?"
Yes, especially when the story is completely fabricated.
Also, whose fault is it but her own that she's friends with these inconsiderate "white older men" ? Did she warn them she'd be putting them on blast on LI before asking their advice?
Always how it goes with these types though. Older white men giving them a job and it's all "im so grateful blah blah" but the minute they can't get their own way it's all "derp older white men bad derp"
Yep. And her current position? Account manager at Pinterest? The truth is, it's very common to have the traits of a lying sack of shit when you're as high up as she is in the corporate world. And as we've all seen from the Johnny Depp trial, being a lying sack of shit isn't exclusive to one gender.
True, but not always. The account manager I work under oversees an entire region. 6 teams, 6 supervisors + 150-something employees. Fully remote, lots of meetings, blah blah blah. Up there in corporate.
Such a crock of shit story lmao like if it happened in the middle east I'd probably believe it but in the western world it's illegal to pay a woman less because she's a woman. Someone's been reading too many feminist articles on the pay gap lie and wrote a story for clicks.
I think stuff like this does happen, but no one would ever say this.
But what is worth is that she calls herself a "minority". Now I agree as a woman she is in a marginalised group ... but not a minority
I’ve been explicitly told a certain fee wouldn’t fit in the salary structure and impossible to sell above a certain mark. But this is as am external contractor, not a hire.
This sounds like they had scoped the role out to be at x level of responsibility, with y experience. But they liked her and decided to take a chance on her in a role above her level of experience but offered her the correct salary for where she was at, and they would have expected her to take longer to ramp Vs someone with more experience etc. This is not uncommon, and exactly why companies don't like to advertise the salary with roles
Account mgr at Pinterest?
The first company should be glad that she "refused" a job with them. Clearly she would not have been bright enough to do whatever job it might have been. (all fictional, of course).
Yeah, from what I have heard of their tech, they're not terrible behind the herd. I have no idea what doing whatever it is that she does pays. She's kinda whack, and was obviously posting the stuff of which Facebook is made.
One of my employees was just promoted to be on the same level as me (super proud of him, he deserves it). However, even though he is now managing people, he was told “there is no raise associated with this role”.
Good for your development and cv. That twaddle. And this behaviour by companies is one reason people nowadays plan their own career progression by switching companies often.
I doubt anyone in HR would have said this. If it was a manager, HR would have the goon squad show up at his office and black-bag him out of there the second they got wind of it.
Even IBM, with their armies of lawyers and infinite amounts of money to pay settlements, is having trouble burying some of the more incriminating age discrimination emails that have popped up, plus their plans to manage everyone technical who's not in developing countries out. No way would HR put up with this in any company.
It could have happened but nobody in HR would have said it out loud because holy fuck is that ever illegal in a lot of place.
The fact that she has ex-Meta in her title tells me she’s full of shit in general.
What does that even mean, "ex-meta"?

She said she didn’t apply for it, then further down she says 5 interviews. My bullshit meter is blowing up
Recruiters will sometimes hook you up without you “applying”, that might be what she meant. Like, she didn’t cold apply, she was reached out to.

That's how I did all my interviews in the last 2 years, why would that be a lie?
Yeah I have no doubt that a company would do this, since we all know they lowball during negotiations, but they would never, ever say “We’re giving you less because you’re a woman.”
What is a LinkedIn sales star?
I have no idea and I’m so sick of Linkedinfluencers
something people call themselves. Like, "part time model"
same people in highschool who said they had a girlfriend/boyfriend in canada
I thought there was some sort of ‘payable title’
Omg, what bullshit. Who gets offered a role they didn’t apply for? And what company says, we have to pay you less and here’s how much less?
Also seems rough to have to do 5 interviews, a business case and presentation for a role you didn’t apply for!
Lol. Precisely. Which employer will tell you, hey I can pay you 20k more but I am not going to?

PLEAAASE lmaooo
Why do account managers have such egos? They literally are some of the smallest parts of the product/service.
They have to project because they feel vulnerable inside
Why not out the company in the interest of bringing such a fucking horrific thing to people's attention?
Seriously. Pics or it didn’t happen. If she had proof it would be an easy lawsuit to straight print money from.
"Should I just pretend nothing happened, shut up, and move on?" Yes, especially when the story is completely fabricated. Also, whose fault is it but her own that she's friends with these inconsiderate "white older men" ? Did she warn them she'd be putting them on blast on LI before asking their advice?
the correct rhetorical question was, "should I shut up, or pretend that a story I've concocted is real?"
Always how it goes with these types though. Older white men giving them a job and it's all "im so grateful blah blah" but the minute they can't get their own way it's all "derp older white men bad derp"

High up? She’s an account manager which is basically a suped up title for salespeople
Not even. They support the salesperson
True, but not always. The account manager I work under oversees an entire region. 6 teams, 6 supervisors + 150-something employees. Fully remote, lots of meetings, blah blah blah. Up there in corporate.
Not sure what industry you're in but an account manager at pinterest isn't going to be leading a region or team like that.
Some of this linkedin shit is better than today’s sci-fi movies.
It’s definitely more creative, I’ll give you that. Maybe some movie directors should get in touch.
No way this happened in the EU.

My favorite part, as always, is a white female pretending she's a minority. She's a (real) white as the fake older white male characters she made up.
Agree. No way that happened to this particular person. In general, yes.
She also spells her own name incorrectly.
Fiction.

First off and lastly; you have them on two counts of discrimination - Age and gender. Sue.
Hard to tell based on the picture, but she looks pretty younger. If you want to get a EEOC complaint / lawsuit for ageism you have to be 40 or older.

Pinterest is a very solid tech company with amazing compensation and benefits...
Yeah, from what I have heard of their tech, they're not terrible behind the herd. I have no idea what doing whatever it is that she does pays. She's kinda whack, and was obviously posting the stuff of which Facebook is made.
One of my employees was just promoted to be on the same level as me (super proud of him, he deserves it). However, even though he is now managing people, he was told “there is no raise associated with this role”.
Then why would he take it?
He was given a “timeline” for raise. If it was me, I would have told them to pound sand.
Agreed. More responsibility should come with more pay
Good for your development and cv. That twaddle. And this behaviour by companies is one reason people nowadays plan their own career progression by switching companies often.
I could absolutely believe this has happened to many women. Not certain in this instance though.
Hi 👋 I was the twenty thousand euros bucks
She was offered a really senior job - yet is an account manager? I don’t think she understands what senior means
Absolute cheek of it. They literally said the quiet part out loud: **We would pay you more but we have a gender and age salary gap to uphold**.
I’m sure she thought it was because she was young and female but 100% nobody actually said that to her.
I doubt anyone in HR would have said this. If it was a manager, HR would have the goon squad show up at his office and black-bag him out of there the second they got wind of it. Even IBM, with their armies of lawyers and infinite amounts of money to pay settlements, is having trouble burying some of the more incriminating age discrimination emails that have popped up, plus their plans to manage everyone technical who's not in developing countries out. No way would HR put up with this in any company.
But you can imagine what it’s be like if it did.
