>she has removed salary negotiations from the hiring process because studies show women don’t fare as well as men
1. I wonder if she negotiated her pay?
2. How can she be a champion of equality if she formalizes a process that prohibits workers from negotiating their market value? It's one step forward and two steps back.
- wanderingstan 12y agoI don't have deep knowledge of this issue, but it seems like this is a legitimate strategy of having a set "price" which the prospective employee is free to take or not. This reminds me (in reverse) of travels in 3rd world countries, where every item's price becomes negotiable. I had grown up accustomed to shops where everything had a marked price, and was not prepared to haggle over the cost of toothpaste. It seems totally legit for a company to do the same/similar with salaries. No one is forced to take the job, they're just eliminating the negotiation part. As long as I knew this policy followed for everyone in a company, I'd actually prefer it.
- SilasX 12y agoI thought the same thing. It's hard to imagine what it would even mean to "remove salary negotiations", and it's the kind of thing I would hope a journalist would try to pin down? Similarly vague is the idea of filtering "anti-diversity" people out: how do you do it, without simply making it a test of "can you tell us what we want to hear?"
