I am an individualist and I think every person has various things they are good at and things they are not-so-good-at. No two people are alike.
However some say that everyone should be paid the same, when IMO no 2 people accomplish a task the same way. If no one is alike, then why should everyone be paid an equal wage? I like the idea of some super-skilled people making more than others. If we standardized all salaries it would hurt the top more than it helps the bottom.
So no, I don’t want everyone being treated like replaceable cogs, and if I’m paid more than others then why should I have to defend myself? Radical transparency is a strategy to make people feel like they owe the collective, when my goal is to make everyone feel like an individual.
- igorkraw 5y agoYou are arguing a straw man though, nobody is talking about standardization, we are talking about transparency. If you as a manager can justify the difference then having the salary transparent shouldn't be a problem. If you can't, then there's a problem. If you are the one receiving the salary, I don't see why you should have to defend yourself anymore than we have people"defending themselves" for living in a nice neighborhood. It simply doesn't come up. Just point to the manager/employer and say "ask them"
