A BBC manager has refused a promotion after discovering that her proposed salary is £12,000 less than her male counterpart who has an identical job. But the BBC maintain that her new salary had been calculated fairly and reflected Mr Sawyer's many years in the position. The bombshell publication of the broadcaster's top-earner's pay packets in 2017 sparked criticism after it exposed a stark gender pay gap. The fallout also saw presenters Jeremy Vine and John Humphreys take pay cuts to shrink the gender pay gap. The BBC is under investigation for pay discrimination then compounds the problem by repeating it.
