Why not pay everyone correctly rather than forcing your future employees to fight hard to get their valid wage?
- twblalock 5y ago"Pay everyone correctly" is a loaded statement. So is "valid wage." These things are determined by the market and what a candidate brings to the table -- not just by the job itself.
- t-writescode 5y agoRealistically, companies try to pay their future employees as low as possible. Someone comes along that chooses to be a so-called "better negotiator" and they get paid more. Why should people have to play the negotiation game? "What a candidate brings to the table" is likely defined in a leveling guideline. If they bring more to the table, maybe they should be in a different bracket. If someone is so special (and 99.9% of the people aren't), then maybe give them their own special role with special titles; but we're not talking about exceptional people here, we're talking about an average developer at this company, which I hope has an average relative skill level. Sure, one person may be better at X or Y and worse at Z than another but that's why we have several people: distributing load and specialization.
