workplace inequality
Professional treatment gaps
Workplace inequality refers to disparities in treatment, opportunity, or compensation among employees based on factors like gender, race, age, or disability rather than job performance.
It encompasses pay gaps, unequal access to promotions, and discriminatory hiring practices: Studies continue to document workplace inequality in tech companies.
The term frames these disparities as systemic rather than incidental.
