Google has discriminated against its female employees, according to the US Department of Labor (DoL), which said it had evidence of "systemic compensation disparities".

As part of an ongoing DoL investigation, the government has collected information that suggests the internet search giant is violating federal employment laws with its salaries for women, agency officials said.

"We found systemic compensation disparities against women pretty much across the entire workforce," Janette Wipper, a DoL regional director, testified in court in San Francisco on Friday.

Reached for comment Friday afternoon, Janet Herold, regional solicitor for the DoL, said: "The investigation is not complete, but at this point the department has received compelling evidence of very significant discrimination against women in the most common positions at Google headquarters."

Herold added: "The government's analysis at this point indicates that discrimination against women in Google is quite extreme, even in this industry."

Google strongly denied the accusations of inequities, claiming it did not have a gender pay gap.

    Personally, I trust both of them. Granted I trust them both to fuck over anyone they get the chance to, but that's still a type of trust.

    No, that would be called "distrust".

    Wait, in your case I think you might have the proper usage...

    I will share one of my favorite one-liners of all time...
