As someone that runs a profitable company I can tell you right now that my company would a) not be able to hire really awesome people and b) lose all the better guys as a result of this policy.
- lliiffee 18y agoCan you explain why? Are you saying that this system would make it difficult to pay the most talented people what they are worth?
- danbmil99 18y agoyes, that's exactly what he's saying. The dirty secret is that the variation in employee 'worth' to a company varies much more than a tight range of salaries based on statistical averages. It's not just talent; some employees become inordinately important due to their knowledge and acquired experience in a narrow area. Losing them might mean shipping a product 6 months late, which could be fatal. Of course there's a potential here for employee blackmail, but hey, live by the market, die by it. It's a constant struggle to be 'fair' yet maximize your return on investment. These two goals don't automatically align.
