A quick question. How did you know about the salary discrepancy to make the complaint or be aware of discrimination? Every company I’ve worked for it was company policy that compensation was not to be discussed between employees and that doing so could be grounds for dismissal.
In my book if you were out performing the men then the management was stupid to pass you over for promotion. However good performance can sometimes be its own curse as you may have made yourself indispensable in that position. Another thing I’ve seen in the corporate world, that I don’t agree with, is its not necessarily job performance but how well you play politics (or kiss ass) that leads to promotions. Is it possible that you were great at your job but didn’t play office politics well? Can you honestly say that there weren’t men who didn’t get promotions either due to lack of ability in the arena of office politics?
Also if you had a clear cut case of discrimination why didn’t you pursue legal action?
