So those kinds of things really increase that gender gap as well.

Yeah. So that's encouraging that things are changing. And I think I wanted to touch on a big piece of this, especially with respect to the compensation issue is really transparency. Right.

You're dealing with an organization or you're dealing with someone who's going to be your boss who's really honestly being transparent because being told we don't do it like that here, everyone has the same compensation model, but then you find out there are lots of little cherries placed on the top that you're not privy to or you don't have that opportunity.

And so that's how the compensation increases, right? Or someone has more resources so they can be more productive. So they are getting bonuses and they look at... the woman and say, well, you're not working hard enough. You're not getting the bonus. Why don't you work harder? Well, I don't have the same resources. I don't have the same number of staff.

I don't have all the residents working with me. I don't have two rooms going at a time. All of those kinds of things. That's the lack of transparency, I think.
