Wait, so employee A who works late nights and busts a gut to ship gets a pay rise, which means employee B gets a pay rise even though they didn't?
Or is it that employee A wouldn't get a pay rise because then employee B would have to get one?
- smokinn 18y agoYou're thinking of a normal company. Joel has previously said no one at Fog Creek does overtime.
- rythie 18y agoMore likely is that in negotiation system, employee B gets a pay rise because he is good negotiator and employee A loves his job but is less confident so doesn't even ask for a pay rise, so gets nothing.
- sethg 18y agoIs employee A working late nights because he or she is working hard, or to fix bugs introduced by careless coding the previous afternoon, or because for every hour physically at the office, 45 minutes is spent reading HN? It's hard for the manager determining salaries to tell the difference.
