that reply is all you need, time to start looking for something else
I'm surprised no one in the comments noticed that the person getting paid the same for working harder is a woman. This is sadly the norm in many businesses including those that I've worked for. That made this seem awfully likely to be real other than only a moron would actually put this in writing. I think this lady should just start doing as much work as her salary dictates. There is clearly no benefit to busting your ass if you get paid shit. Also, start looking for a new place of employment.
I've seen the opposite. Junior dev girl got 5x raise while I got only 20% as strong middle almost equalizing our salaries. In fact where I live I have never seen such thing. Only social cute ones usually get good raise. Introverts never
As I said in another comment, I've seen it at multiple places I've worked. I am aware of the "cute girl gets favored" issue, though never in a technical role. Honestly, I've never see a girl dev that fit your description at any those places either heh. I imagine they probably never made it through the hiring process as it was no secret that the bosses were sexist.
Tell me where did you see woman selectively getting underpaid, which field?
Quite literally every corporation I've worked in until my current company pulled this shit, but very specifically in the technical roles. It usually led to the women in question leaving, and perhaps that was the intent. When I was doing interviews for my team, I had even heard my boss's boss mentioning how picking one of the female candidates would be "cheaper" and I didn't understand until later what he meant. My direct boss at that company was one of the few to buck that trend where he could honestly, but that place screwed me over quite a few times in other ways. For the record, none of these gender pay issues hindered me, I'm a guy.
You could read between the lines and realize your attitude affects the team in a negative way.

How to Quiet Quit Your Job (Without Getting Fired)
- Step 1 Stop doing any tasks that aren’t in your job description.
- Step 2 Stop showing up early to work and only arrive on time.
- Step 3 Stop staying late in the office and leave on time.
- Step 4 Refuse office communications outside of working hours.
- Step 5 Don’t take work home with you.
- Step 6 Don’t attend non-mandatory meetings or social work functions.
My opinion, only quit if you a) can do those things and b) want to extract value aside from money during the time you spend working.
If I quit, and the boss man is like "you can't quit, you're fired!" I'd be like "woohoo! unemployment!" which I wasnt gonna get by quitting.
Edit: I missed the quiet part. Still gon a leave this here tho.

Quit
Marcus gives the best bjs
Feels like the scene from The Other Guys about how you’re valuable for doing the work we don’t want to
.
Weirdly, both are kind of true. You should be pissed, but he is also right, he just shouldn’t have said it. Think of it this way, though, a supervisor usually makes more than the people they supervise even though by definition they often do less of the actual work. Same with management. Getting other people motivated (if he actually does do that) is worth something. On the other hand,if you’re really doing twice as much work, you may literally just be overworking or should find another job where that is actually useful.
It's so weird that they went through with justifying the difference in pay (which I don't think they actually had to do in such detail) and somehow... they didn't stop halfway through and realize that doesn't actually justify anything. The "we value your attitude" part is exactly why she should be paid equally. I mean, they literally offered her a leverage to use in negociation.
