Sounds reasonable, except it would still backfire when those in power believe their "feelings" are more important than widely acknowledged and vetted scientific data like many appointed in the current administration. And when need

Curious, do you know what data is used in order to estimate the current market rate for a given position? As an individual employee I am very interested in figuring this out for my local region, but I really don't know what data source

What is that word or phrase for when the attempt to stop something ends up backfiring and instead causes that thing to get a lot of free press and therefore becomes much more widely used? I would love to see that happen here. I wasn't
