I 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.
- dvtrn 6y agoI did not negotiate enough total comp to afford a guillotine. 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'.
