I agree with leertaylor's comment, and I think it further generalizes to other aspects of transparency in the workplace. "You pay him what? I'm here all the time, and you pay him for 10 hours of work half what I make all month?" What strikes me is, "I'm here all the time." Why is someone who puts such a high value on merely showing up even still employed? OTOH, this touches the original article's point, that paying well above market is an excellent away to retain employees. (Whether they're worth retaining is another matter).
