The new law doesn't mandate pay equity; just some measure of transparency. There's no reason a company needs to adopt that kind of a system ("raises only via promotion") just because expected salaries now have to be post

But it's not a ... "game changer".

No doubt. That's why we need to beat these companies into submission until they do the right thing. For, you know, society as a whole.

Yeah, but you have to be basically gobbling these pills to get anywhere near the dangerous levels. People dumb enough to do that are probably making all sorts of other poor decisions about their health and life.

What AnimalMuppet said plus the slow-but-steady evisceration of the middle class through overseas outsourcing, the gig economy, predatory lending, and rising education + housing costs (start at various points in time since then). And the r

Yes, please do. Just keep in mind that you may end up having your own identity revealed - especially if your commentary appears to be too caustic, or to focus too much on petty mistakes instead of the bigger picture (everyone screws up, or

Yup - that's exactly the take-away they would like the reader to have. But (as noted in the article I linked to), apparently has significant scalability issues, and (because of sourcing and transport issues) is not "100 percent&qu

EDIT: My horrible, ostentatioous BAD! I mixed up the GE headline with the viral United Airlines tweet about the same exercise: https://twitter.com/united/status/1466045020473942020 In which they took care not to

Turns out it that's not true either. See the article linked to in my post.

Yeah, given that they started migrating there (by the millions) decades before The Communist Manifesto was written -- it's probably pretty safe to say that most of them were not communist. A very important detail indeed.

All good, thanks for clarifying. My main concern was the assertions made in the comment I initially responded to, several layers up. Whose author seems to have ghosted us, since making them.
