Apparently most jobs in the Germany are salary capped?
We hosted a German foreign exchange student. His dad was an anesthesiologist.
He said the hospital told him “here’s what you’ll be making”.
No negotiation. No competing offers.
Why would harder or go out of your way to contribute to your industry if your salary is going to be artificially capped?
- littlestymaar 2y ago> Why would harder or go out of your way to contribute to your industry if your salary is going to be artificially capped Because most people do don't do their job well to get paid better? In fact, monetary incentive are one of the least efficient way to motivate workers once they are past subsistence level. (Sure you can make sure that everyone starts their work life with a six digit credit for their studies and then need to take another, even bigger, one for housing so that they can never go past subsistence level, but that's no a recipe for healthy society… And that's not how the US worked in its golden age either).

- barrenko 2y agoEven worse is when there is a negotiating process (as everything is copied from the US), but there's no actual negotiation on your part expected.

If there are several hundred people in the same role, having the same contract for all of them has advantages on both sides. It will also have downsides. You aren’t going to get a competing offer from the same employer, they’d need to apply to a different one.
