I'd be all for just paying proper salaries up front. Chances are it would be very politically difficult to lobby for raising salaries for government workers, even if pensions were eliminated but it's a good idea IMO.
As I said though, it's not "greedy" of people to choose a job that pays less in the short term because it makes up for it with a deferred benefit. It's no different than getting a smaller salary in return for equity or a lower salary in return for more leave. It's just another thing that goes into the equation when people are evaluating their options.
- 001sky 13y agoI don't disagree with anything as you've stated it here. The word "greed" (typically) goes beyond "rational foresight"to include opportunistic self-enrichment (esp. in the absence of transparency, effective oversight or control). But doing a DCF of a career trajectory vs. a simple Salary comparison is legitimate math any employee, IMHO.
