It's in Satya's interest for employees not to demand raises. Goes for men too. I bet he tells employees not to share salaries either. All it does is breed discontent when you find out how much more your peers make. Instead, you should work super hard and hope the salary fairy will recognize your contributions!
Everyone in a company should go interview every year or two and figure out how much $ you're worth. If you're underpaid, you'll be in a great position to either get a raise or hop jobs.
Of course assholes like Mark Suster will tell you not to hop jobs -- you might get paid what you're worth! Instead, you should stay at startups, be underpaid, and bust your ass. Especially if Mark invested. Don't listen.
- pm 12y agoWhen has Mark Suster said that?

- csallen 12y agoUgh, the post you linked is baffling. "You’re in it more for yourself than your company." Obviously! It's called rational self-interest. It's the company's responsibility to treat their employees well enough that it's in their best interest to work there. If you've spent a lifetime honing your skills, why would you want to work for someone who doesn't understand this or doesn't care?
- pm 12y agoI like much of Mark Suster's writing, but I agree with you on this point wholeheartedly. Not all companies are built the same. There are lots of unhappy people pissing their life way doing shit they don't like - I don't intend on being one of them.
