They are essentially trying to slut shame companies into paying their highest workers less money," Kennedy concluded.
Yes, because being transparent about wages amongst your staff is always a terrible thing. Could it be that they don’t want the peasants upset that the CEO is making 10000% more than they do?
Also Kennedy shame on you for equating these two.

I’m sure she has absolutely no problem with government regulations that require unions to disclose just about everything that has a dollar sign attached to it, including the compensation of all employees. Can you imagine if corporations had to file the equivalent of an LM2 form with the government? Why are members dues any different than shareholders’ dividends in this regard. Who has a greater right to know how their money is being spent? Seems like some people are bigger sluts and must be shamed more than others. Typical right wing mindset.

Hey, sluts are supposed to like what they do, whereas CEOs get paid a lot of money for what they do… which would make them… what? And I’d be surprised if any CEO is ashamed of the exhorbitant salary they make, they’re too arrogant by far to succumb to such a base emotion.
It is the goverment’s job to protect shareholders from crooks and executives, I believe that’s called the SEC?
In many states it’s also established that all public employee salaries are fair game for public disclosure. I think 2008/2009 put the lie to companies only using “private” money, so it’s none of the public’s business.

Critics say the regulation will just force companies to compile complex data to determine the median salary for all their employees which could cost them millions

Kennedy, your corporate overlords are pleased with your obeisance. Now please report to maintenance for wing nut adjustment.

What company doesn’t know the median salary it pays? I want to make sure I’m not invested in it.

If that is the way she chooses to frame the debate then I would think that the obvious response is: “If the foo shits…”

What a crock. I will guarantee you that every single one of these companies has that information readily available, just check with the HR department.
The bullsh!t just never ends with these idiots.

So, Fox Host is too dense to see the difference between and embarrassing disclosure of indefensible greed and undeserved shaming of victims. Got it.

BTW… is the characterization of ‘Kennedy’ as a person with no first name and being a former MTV personality not also form of ‘slut shaming’?

Although I must admit they have made an accurate association between CEOs and sluts…

Does she realize she’s conceding that CEOs should be ashamed of their earnings relative to the earnings of other employees?

The only thing “complex” about this is the compensation of the CEO, which is divided, obfuscated, and complicated by a desire to hide the true number. For all other employees, it’s basically one person, one number.

The guy works at Fox … ergo “dense” should go w/o saying.
Reports? Data? Companies dont run reports or have complex data, although this is hardly that. They just make shit up on the fly. How stupid is this girl?

I thought Fox LIKED slut-shaming? They do it all the time. So, shaming a ‘slut’ is ok, but shaming a ‘suit’ is not. Ok, got it.

Tacit admission that CEOs are whores. Baby steps I guess.
