I make about 10% less than my co-worker. We were hired for the exact same position with the same amount of experience (hired out of school). I just did not negotiate as well as he did.
I think trying to fully equalize pay (outside any obvious pay gap like women making 80% compared to men) across the board will remove the ability to negotiate.
- malandrew 10y agoYup. I suspect if we remove the ability to negotiate such that everyone with the same title or at the same level gets paid equally that there will be an increase in the number of titles and levels to compensate. If that doesn't happen at the very least those candidates who believe they are worth more will not negotiate the salary but negotiate the title instead.
- uberduber 10y agoExactly. I think this would end up like the restaurants that tried out a no-tipping policy. All of their best servers left and turnover went from low to incredibly high. The best engineers would negotiate on title, or ask for creation of a new title, or just go somewhere that would allow that.
