You'd need a way to measure productivity.
In a team environment that is not so easy.
Is it the code, the communication, the business sense, building a good team? Who made that million? And who only made 10 bucks?
- stickfigure 9y agoThis is a fair objection, and probably a rational basis for at least some pay overegalitarianism. If management can't figure out who the star performers are, there's not much point in differentiating the reward. On the other hand, this seems like a fundamental management failure. The identity of the star performers has not been a mystery to the actual engineers working on every team I've ever been a part of. The information is not unknowable. Also, we already have a pay grade of "10 bucks": Some people get fired.
- quickthrower2 9y agoWhat developers think is productive and what is productive may be 2 different things. Your idea works in teams where everyone at all levels is switched on and tuned in.
