She also has a reputation as a generous colleague. She has resigned from her job as China editor because her employers will not pay her at the same rate as they pay the handful of men who do a similarly challenging and important job. She has resigned because. she refused to go on colluding (共谋) with the BBCs dishonesty about its failure to give women and men equal pay for equal work.Gracie was recruited to the job, because she had all the talent and skills the BBC needed to cover the difficult international and domestic story of the rise of China. One of the conditions she set for taking it was equal pay with the BBCs other international editors, familiar names including Jon Sopel in Washington and Jeremy Bowen in the Middle East.Last summer, the government forced the BBC to publish which of the familiar names on radio and TV earned over 150,000. The results exposed an astonishing pay gap. They also showed Gracie that her employers had misled her.Gracie sets out all her efforts to get her bosses to do what they had originally promised her, but they fail to respond adequately. Instead, they prevaricate(搪塞)and offer her a pay rise that still would not have delivered equality. They thought they could buy her off; They thought that the reputational hazard she was running would scare her away from the fight.The BBC is wrong this time! Gracie has chosen to design rather than give in because she thinks that it is her responsibility to stop the BBC doing something stupid.
