(10,478 posts)they'd ever hire males. Well, except that males are apparently "better." I worked in retail management where there were about 9 of us managers. The most recent hired were two guys with less than a year's experience in a different type of store in departments with different merchandise. Those two guys made more then all but two of the existing managers. More than people with more expereince and larger departments.
Not a gender issue, but to refute your point that if management does it, it must make dollers and cents - I was one of the lowest paid managers because I was promoted from within. I made 25% less than people they hired off the street with NO experience. Why would they hire off the street and pay more when they could have gotten all the management from within and paid less? AND known what they were getting? I dunno.
