Let's take the BMW example. Most of their engineers in Germany are paid according to a collective agreement where the salary is determined by looking at a table based on your actual position, your background, and seniority. There is an additional salary based on some specified performance metrics but that usually accounts for a difference of 5% maximum.
Only few engineers in leading position and with larger responsibilty are paid based on an individually negotiated contract.
- maxxxxx 10y agoI have worked at German companies with union pay (IG Metall, same as BMW). You are right that there is a table, but where you are on the table is still very negotiable. Maybe people think this can't be negotiated but in reality it is. I got bumped up several levels after I complained that my colleagues were much higher while doing the same work.
