I guess so. But also it doesn't seem that companies are artificially keeping wages low. I mean if an engineer at a tech company isn't happy with his salary then he wouldn't have taken it in the first place, right? It's not the same as a person taking a job at a grocery store because they simply don't have other options. Top talent gets head hunted all the time. So if they want a better salary couldn't they just go somewhere else that pays it, as long as it's not a company that's part of the agreement?
- asdfologist 13y agoNot necessarily. Keep in mind that the wages at the big tech companies affect wages at other firms. If the big techs drive down wages, then wages will go down at the smaller firms as well.
- zacinbusiness 13y agoAh yeah that's a good point. And I guess it's in the big tech's interests to keep smaller companies under staffed.
- jules 13y agoExactly the same argument, and exactly the same rebuttal applies to price fixing.
