    A friend who is senior by two years found out that a new hiree was getting paid more than he does for the exact same role. Understandably, he was pissed and left.

      And that’s exactly why wages should be transparent. So people can make an informed decision if they are valued enough at the company or if they should go somewhere else.

      That’s silly, due to inflation almost all our new hires make significantly more than people with 5-10 years of additional experience.

      We are having to increase new hire starting compensation by ~10% annually just to get anyone to apply.

      Why would you tell your employees how much they make, it will only inflate payroll by ~20%.

        Oh no. Actually paying your workers costs money?

        Anyways I heard there was a holiday deal on rice at Safeway. I need to get on that. See you around!

        GOOOOD! As it should be. Dear god, you just wrote out in public that you aren’t properly paying long term employees their fair share.

        If you can’t compete with paying fair wages to all employees then you should go under!
