It's a productivity killer. If everyone knows that John is a better developer than Bill, but Bill gets paid twice as much because he understands corporate politics, then people focus on politics, feel like life is unfair, etc. The money saved by underpaying your best employees is rarely worth the inevitable productivity hit and loss of talent.
- wyclif 15y agoYes, I agree with Cohen here. Smart companies reward productive, smart employees incrementally, and don't place the burden of negotiation entirely upon them. This is not to say negotiation isn't possible or beneficial to the employee. But if a company rewards employees with regular raises and profit-sharing, negotiation isn't as political.
