The article talks about fairness. But there is much more sides to fair salaries. I wrote about it some time ago
"The reason for discontent and thoughts about unfairness is that people have very different ideas about what is fair. They base salary fairness on different things. Some think it’s fair to base salary on past performance, current performace, past performance and future potential, needs, equality, experience or current market demand."

- erik_seaberg 6y agoMarket demand is the correct answer. None of us would be making six figures if not for the other nearby employers who would like to hire us. Before the web happened, we were paid like accountants. > If you hire engineers when the market for engineers is tight, you might overpay compared to your existing employees. A Junior developer might end up with a higher salary than your senior guys. It's on you to know how much your competitors might offer to lure away your senior devs, and deter it. If you wait for them to negotiate, you might lose some of them.
