it's very likely to penalize high performers by redistributing their wealth to low performers
Seems to me that the problem here is that company isn't able to convince the low performers that they are low performing. If the high performers are paid more due to some objective metric, the low performers should be able to see their own path to higher performance. If not, then it's the company's problem for having a pay scale that rewards negotiating skills or nepotism over objective performance evaluations.
- unholiness 10y agoAny attempt to "objectively" measure performance to influence salary will actively harm company culture. Unless your company is literally an assembly line, Godhart's law takes over so quickly and your employees are going to spend their time abusing the metric. Just paying employees the market rate, while imperfect, is overwhelmingly preferable.
