The fact that google is suppressing wages today won't show up on levels.fyi today. It will show up 5 years from now, and by then it'll be a lot harder to unionize.
- drstewart 6y agoHe says it's been happening for years so it should already be showing up. Care to prove it?
- bichiliad 6y agoThe point is that they've had anti-wage practices for years, but that they recently reduced top-level payout. I'm not able to find a year-by-year comparison for pay bands at Google on levels.fyi, so I'm not sure what your point is with that site. I don't work at Google, so proving that Google specifically is cutting wages isn't something I'm able to do. At the same time, I don't think you need to prove that Google's incentivized to maximize profits. They're a publicly traded company; there will always be motivation for them to reduce costs. If you're in search of proof, the anti-poaching lawsuit[0] is not something to take lightly. And either way, I don't see you bringing up any strong arguments against collective action. Just because Google might not be doing something to reduce compensation right this second doesn't mean they don't have the power to do that in the future.
