Do you mean everyone in the same role, or everyone in the company? I guess you could argue that everyone contributes equally in their own way, but it sounds like it would be hard to deal with market rates. For example, if the market rate for a support agent is $30k and the market rate for a developer is $70k what do you do?
- crdoconnor 10y agoPay market rate and be honest about it? I don't understand the problem here. Support agents are unlikely to demand a developer's salary.
- gwbas1c 10y agoThere is no objective definition of what "market rate" is once you get into skilled labor. This is, in part, because every job will value someone slightly differently depending on the unique situation.
- crdoconnor 10y agoAnd? That's still not a reason to be secretive. In fact it was cited by the article as one of the great positives of salary openness: you got much more accurate feedback much more quickly which made it easier to make those tricker decisions.
- dominotw 10y ago> everyone contributes equally in their own way In my experience, this has never been true. People have different motivations, skills etc. Although if we can assume that its true, it would be easier to implement govt mandates like Paycheck fairness act.
