I suspect that a lot of people mostly don't want to confront potentially unpleasant truths about how their employer values them in a relative sense.
Probably a self-confidence thing as much as anything.
- zura 14y agoHow their employer values them should be reflected only in the title - be it Sr. Whatever, Whatever or Jr. Whatever. EDIT (meta): How many times it should be stated on HN that downvoting is not for expressing disagreement... Just reply your opinion and move on.
- theorique 14y agoSo everyone gets paid the same and is compensated with an increasingly fancy title? Someone will benefit from that arrangement, but it won't be the majority of employees.
- zura 14y agoI'm not a huge fan of fancy titles either. What I meant to say is that the salary should reflect the contribution. So if two person contribute the same value to the company, they should have same compensations. Which is not necessary tied to titles, right. The only entity which benefits from salary secrecy is the employer itself.
- theorique 14y agoI see what you mean now. I misunderstood the meaning from your original posting - I thought you meant that the CTO should get paid the same as a junior programmer should get paid the same as a janitor.
