Could this change how tech salaries are set? I know many companies base their salary grades on an algorithm that amounts to looking at what "comparable" companies are doing and aiming for the middle of that.
- WirelessGigabit 3y agoThat would be nice. It's such an easy defense for companies to say: this is what the market pays.
- silisili 3y agoThey're seemingly already doing that for benefits. I've had benefits reduced at two separate places 'because our research shows we were a little over for similar companies.' If that's not collusion, I don't know what is.
- cperciva 3y agoCollusion is if they, well, collude. Copying is not the same thing as colluding.
- acuozzo 3y agoAt some point copying does become tacit collusion, though.
- willis936 3y agoNo. Collusion requires agreement among the parties to not compete. Sure they copy but no one is forcing you to stay at the company or accept the new job offer. You walk to somewhere that does meet your ask or negotiate. It's collision when companies agree to not compete.

- galdosdi 3y agoAt what point does saying I am Spartacus becoming being Spartacus?
- ChadNauseam 3y agoIf you say “I want a raise because people in the same position at other companies make more money” is that collusion too?
- izacus 3y agoThe tech companies already got punished for salary collusion and it didn't really change anything.
