A good work place environment is easily worth $10k in salary. If a manager were up front with me - "Hey we pay everyone the same rate, and everyone else makes this much. Still interested?" - I would consider that to be a good sign.
- ohashi 16y agoI am not sure I agree with this idea. Does that mean we all stay the same forever? What if I work extra hard and others are slacking? Are they all really the same skill level to begin with? Sounds great that we all make the same until someone is working harder or less hard than someone else, then it will be a sore spot.
- kwis 16y agoThere is no way I would ever take a job at such a joint, even if the original offer was fantastic. If I create a lot of value, I want to be able to capture a portion of it in my salary. I don't want to capture some average wage determined by a manager who doesn't have the guts to admit, even privately, that some people create more value than others.
- tomjen3 16y agoI wouldn't simply because I wouldn't trust the boss not to cheat me. With this article and the one yesterday I am going to assume that in any salary negotiation the other guy is trying to cheat me, so I would just ignore that.
