steps carefully away from the guillotine
- ev1 6y agoI did not negotiate enough total comp to afford a guillotine. Amusingly, it is kind of a "two birds with one stone" situation where part of the reason why there is so much secrecy around salaries is that people will get upset when person x makes more than person y. If salaries were equalized adjusting for certain things/on par then simultaneously, everyone knows roughly how much everyone else makes in the same role and you also somewhat alleviate the upset part when finding out.

Thanks for getting the hum(e)or ;) But I think I agree with you, while at the same time a part of me wonders if there's not a bit of duality to the salary "finding out" frustration; part $mySalary < $theirSalary, part a function 'wish I had known earlier and asked for more earlier'.
