Finally!
It was very disappointing that girl that smile and had good relationships with out senior manager had the same salary as me, even if i got the best score in our delivery center.
For a given job, not all _people_ will get the same pay, and as individuals, a particular man and a particular woman may not make the same, but across an organization we should find some balance, there should be women who make more than some men, etc..
I don't think anyone wants a situation where granting any individual a raise means that everyone with similar responsibilities (no two people 'do the same job') gets the same raise.
But as I type this, it's clear how all of this grey area can (and surely IS) be leaned upon to maintain the status quo.
