- yeahitslikethat 8y agoIt doesn't happen more often because people are petty and over value their contribution.
- gumby 8y agoThen this kind of pay ignorance presumably leads to unhappiness in those people too, which sounds bad all around.
- gumby 8y agoYes I have always run my companies this way. Even in a bootstrapped company people always knew how many months of cash we had on hand (sometimes scarily few!). And sometimes there were salary injustices and people pointed them out. Typically when someone thought a salary was wrong they wouldn't complain publicly, but ask "why is the marketing VP getting so much?" And we could show salary surveys, what the VP does, etc. This kind of attitude helps keep a company together. You know about the common attitude of engineers shitting on sales and marketing as morons or the marketing folks with contempt for the engineers who "have no imagination?" I've never had a company like that.
