> Some people had their years of experience knocked down if the experience wasn’t Fog Creek Caliber. So a person could have 7 years of experience and get paid as if they had three. I understand this practice was kept after Fog Creek changed to Glitch.
This is pretty egregious. Are there any current or former staffers (throwaway accounts if you value your NDAs) who can attest to this? Was there any reference document internally which discussed what constituted the appropriate "caliber" of work experience?
- fred_is_fred 6y agoWhile I get this is frustrating - the bands don't matter. What matters if you are fundamentally being paid your worth. The bands are just an excuse for them to say "see we're paying you enough" - they are not truth in and of themselves. And if you are not being paid enough, no matter what the bands, HR, or BS of the week says, you should advocate for yourself and probably leave.
