“A female colleague and [I] had dared to discuss wage transparency and gender pay gap in the office … Unfortunately we miscalculated – our boss Matthias was beyond furious. After that office meeting, he told my colleague ‘there will be consequences.’ … I want to expose the hypocrisy and double standards in FSFE leadership. How the organisation ‘promoting’ transparency, equality and inclusivity treats employees and more specifically women.”

This is a very disturbing read.

@aral Well what Matthias did there, is utterly disgusting! And borderline childish. Especially for a person in his position
The only good news I've read in 2020 was "page not found".
@aral disturbing indeed!
@aral
Wow, this is just beyond the pale. I clicked and I was expecting to read about a persistent wage gap, only so much money to go around, certain key employees are good negotiators etc.
I was not expecting to read about a power-crazed boss.
This is something the @fsfe should be responding to immediately because unless these allegations are just outright false (which looks very unlikely) there is no possible "other side of the story" which could justify such actions.
@aral "Freedom is not just about software licenses – it’s about social justice. I fully expect @fsfe and @fsf to address this matter transparently and openly and to tell us what steps they are taking to address the issues of gender and foreign employee pay gaps."
Exactly this, thank you.
Of course, they could flat out state that different pay by gender or nationality is the hill they intend to die on, but at least it's clear then what to make of them.
@aral Matthias sounds like a right wanker. Sadly, his kind abound in all management positions, regardless of sector.
@aral@mastodon.ar.al dumb bitchy whiny cunt
@shit Misogynist much?
BASED
@aral Problem is we have the same old business models / attitudes at the top clearly.
@aral ah, pity, comes 1 week too late. paid my annual fee then.
This no good. bearish on fsfe.
@aral We will publish a statement soon on this post of 20 December, once we are confident that we protect the privacy and moral integrity of all persons involved, including our current or former employees.
@fsfe Looking forward to reading it. And I hope that you will address the issue of pay transparency and the reported treatment of one of your employees.
Here is the statement by @fsfe addressing allegations of institutional sexism. To me it reads like empty slogans and nothing else.
