If you were making >2x the cash your colleagues were, you are DEFINITELY overvalued.

  That's a ridiculous statement without an evaluation of the economic contributions of each employee and the availability of employee alternatives for each position.
  • duaneb 12y ago
    It's almost as if economic contributions have NO RELATION to someone's worth.

      Are you making an argument for the labor theory of value?
• loco5niner 12y ago
  Not really. It depends on the value you bring to the company for your work and the difficulty in replacing your skills. I happily admit there are surgeons making much more than 2X my salary, and think that it is entirely appropriate.
  • duaneb 12y ago
    Yes, and most companies are utterly worthless. I'm trying to point out that worth is obviously different than market value.

      > most companies are utterly worthless Hard to argue that point, but they are at least worth enough to be paying their employees salaries. > I'm trying to point out that worth is obviously different than market value And yet, market value is what determines pay-scale.
