- maxk42 9y agoCongratulations California. You just capped everyone's salaries. All you had to do before was say "It doesn't matter. My price is $x." I've done it many times and still been offered the job.
- Terr_ 9y agoOn the other hand, when CEO salaries were made public, the trend -- contrary to expectations -- was for them to rise rather than be capped.
- s73ver_ 9y agoNot everyone is in your position, and feels they have a strong enough bargaining position to do that. Nothing in this law changes things for you, but it can change things for the better for many other people.
- maxk42 9y agoYes, actually, everyone is in a strong enough bargaining position to do that. You can teach people they're helpless or you can teach people how to negotiate. California seems intent on teaching people to be helpless.
- bertil 9y agoI'm going to assume you are not employed as a cleaner.
- maxk42 9y agoNot anymore. But I have been. I've also been a day-laborer. A retail clerk. A Christmas elf. A soldier. And a developer. When somebody is trying to hire you, you are the one with the negotiating power.
- s73ver_ 9y agoNo, they're not. To say otherwise betrays either an enormous ignorance of other people's situations, or a complete lack of empathy for them.
