I think it's reasonable to believe that the employer should have a good answer to the question "why is s/he making more than me, what does s/he do better?"

- icebraining 12y agoYes, but let's not be naive enough to assume that people would be satisfied even with a good answer.
- TheOtherHobbes 12y agoOr naive enough to assume that there is a good answer beyond "You're not a good negotiator so of course we're taking advantage."
- tomp 12y agoWell, a good answer would be "because s/he is familiar with codebases A, B and C and has skills X, Y, Z", and I would expect the employer to follow-up with a raise if the employee in question also learns all of the above.
