@scottalanmiller My jaw dropped when I heard that guy say that. Why does he still have a job? If it were any place else people would be calling for his head!
I find this one of those annoying examples where because someone is an expert in one field (running an IT company) they are asked for their opinion on another field (HR). The guy clearly hasn't a clue on whether or not women should ask for a raise, not least because he's not a woman and it's been a very long time since he was in a normal job. He knows about as much as me, but no-one would ever ask my opinion, or take my answer in the least bit seriously.
When "business leaders" are asked questions like this I wish they'd just answer "No idea - not my field. Why don't you ask an expert?"
I find it part of the culture where we worship the rich and powerful and seek their opinion on everything and I hate it.
