Uncompensated work is their contribution to things in the department, right?

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?
