The same thing is happening to me but with poverty wages. I was getting 15 working by the same management for many years. Recently we've been getting new people and us "veterans" found out that the new people were getting 17 and ours has not changed with due time. Not only did we train them, they don't do much like how we manage the work. We found out too that other businesses they own, everyone else is getting paid 17 too. I think it's because they probably think we're undocumented working for low pay or something. We were asking the management for a raise(equal pay) but they were like "who told you that" and later "just make sure you do the job well and we may consider it". I'm leaving that job lol. I'm trying something new this year and hopefully it turns out well.

I can see that happening. The transparency can help *job seekers* but not so much for a yearly raise Why? Because people were given a lower raise than you are now complaining. So what will happen is everyone gets a raise or none gets it. That's what they are talking about slowing down pay raises. Because raising pay will now cause unwanted consequences in the workplace politics. So managers are facing harder obstacles than before to give a raise. And what most of the managers are going to do? Give less raises. The dynamic is easy to understand for me.

Most importantly, there are clear guidelines for promotions so you actually have a carreer in front of you. 4:50 Having to pay everyone who does the same job the same amount is not a bad thing. It means companies should be putting equal effort in retention as they do in acquisition... Otherwise they just want to take advantage of old employees for less than new ones.

The problem here is that everyone do not work the same so everyone do not deserve the same pay. That's socialism. Or unionized work. I work in a union based job. Everyone gets the same. Let me tell you how so many do the bare minimum of work. Almost just enough to not get fired which is of course hard to get fired because of union. They "call-in" all the time. Any other job that isn't unionized or as big as this corporation, they would get fired. In places like that it's hard to even be noticed or rewarded for the extra skill or effort because you're all seen as the same.

Just a heads up. Discussing your pay with another coworker is a protected activity under the Fair Labor standards act. Firing you for that is considered retaliation and is the grounds for a very lucrative lawsuit. If you can get your employer to fire you for that reason and get it in writing, you should have little difficulty forcing your employer to pay out of fairly significant wrongful termination suit. Obviously talk to an attorney.

I worked for a company that paid barebones wages. They hired only recent college grads specifically so they could pay them below what it costs to live. I went to their website recently where they now had to advertise the pay. It was just as low now as it was then, maybe raised a few bucks for inflation, but otherwise just as pathetic. But it sure was nice to see them being forced to admit it on that webpage instead of in a hushed phone conversation with the HR lady.

Wage transparency is great. I tell my coworkers how much i make so they can ask for raises. In return, i could always ask for a raise myself because they even rely on me for stuff and even see me as a manager. We’ve hired people at much higher salary than what they would ask for themselves as they have told me bc the job posting showed a range.

Bosses hate pay transparency because it's a great tool against both discrimination and nepotism.

Unfortunately some companies are just showing huge ranges. One I'm looking at right now: "The overall market range for roles in this area of Netflix is typically $100,000 - $600,000"

I work for a hospital associated with a public university so we’re considered state employees. Everyone’s salary is available on a searchable website.

If raises are smaller for any reason, quitting will increase, leading to increased costs from hiring. That's how this works. I was told the company "didn't see it that way" when they gave me a 7% pay cut compares to inflation in 2022. I left within 3 months for a 20% raise elsewhere.

Imagine you go to a car dealership or a supermarket and they only tell you the price for the item at the register. Or after you've taken the first couple of bites.

I asked about the pay and was disappointed when it wasn't anything I thought they were offering. I didn't get the job. I think I didn't get it because they could tell I was disappointed in the starting pay after feeling I had experience. They said up to $18 in the paper but offered no higher than $15 when I got there no matter the experience. I was a college graduate and everything. Had been in factories exactly like that a few times. Knew what they were doing and wouldn't have been hard to learn. They also lied and acted like it was a welding job, which it really wasn't. You didn't have to have any welding sklls and still run that machine that was welding the product. I had welding as a skill. I mentioned something about that too and one reason I should start out at $18. What they were doing was so below what I could do and my knowledge about welding.

It seems like every time we make a change to help people, companies take action to push back. It's almost like this economic system isn't designed to help everyday Americans reach their goals in life. This system is designed to make the rich, richer. And they'll do anything to make that happen

The argument that Bobby made at 4:15 is the exact same argument my old boss made to one of our new hires and it's so stupid. Our new hire was older and more experienced yet they wouldn't pay her more than the others in her same role more cause "it wouldn't be fair". But at the same time our boss would tell the rest of us that she couldn't raise our wages until they hired someone who came in at a higher rate. In other words, she didn't want to raise wages for anyone on the team. If a company doesn't want to raise your wages after hiring someone at a higher rate, they're just being greedy and the old workers can either fight for better wages, or look elsewhere for a better job.

Also, there are many employers that are not completely transparent about the compensation, until after hired, meaning, they don’t tell them that it’s commission based on money and misleads people who need a stable pay. No one can afford the extra time to be wasting time effort, and gas money, especially showing up to interviews that are not going to realistically get all the bills paid so yes we’re going to ask. Period.

The argument that a company will make about not being able to give someone a raise because of transparency is a bunch of BS. They used federal employees as an example and so will I because I''m a federal employee. There are a multitude of ways to financially reward employees and in the federal government that comes in things like unscheduled bonuses, scheduled bonuses that depend on your annual performance evaluations and even early within grade step increases. Everyone can still have the same base salary but it's complete nonsense to say that because of transparency they cannot give employee A a raise over employee B if employee A is an exceptional worker.

We need this law in every state. No benevolent companies.

I was working fast food as a teenager and your chances of getting a job at the Walmart was literally impossible because they had a lot long term employees. When minimum wage went up droves of them quit due to the fact that they were not going to have a pay increase because they were already above minimum wage. Needless to say I got a job at Walmart which was better than fastfood. My boss tried keeping me by telling me I was already getting a wage increase plus she was willing to add an additional 15 cents . I told her no...I'd rather work in hardware vs flipping burgers.

Unions have a lot of negatives as well. I work in a unionized job. It's painful when you have co-workers phoning in their job because they don't have to put any effort in and they get paid the same. No they do not get fired and they call in ALL the time. There is no reason to put in any effort the pay will increase the same in some "negotiated contract" that last several years. So at times it can be good, because it can raise the pay for everyone a bit. But at the same time it's bad for trying to stand out and advance and or seeing and knowing people getting paid all the same for doing less. Those same places usually have the tactics of part-time and work them as full timers paying them unionized LESS money, because it's part-time. It's deceptive BS. They churn through people like a revolving door. But those jobs are the low just above min-wage jobs. Some are better jobs with better pay with unions. It all depends.

My former employer was pretty open about pay and stuck to the scale. The got around this by making new job titles. I made more than my peers and to do that they made a new title. I did good work and we saw a 5x revenue from my primary client. It was funny to see the loopholes.

Recently, I've traded the additional pay for any bit of peace I can get from not being on the hook to perform. I'm happy.

At my last job, I was being underpaid and I was working in a toxic environment where I was being micromanaged and harrassed by one of my coworkers. I did report my coworker who harassed me but they late promoted her and I found out how much she was paid. She got promoted for the position I wanted and I have been asking for over a year. I was also one of the top performers but my old manager at my last job decided to give me more work instead of offering a promotion and would tell me to “ deal with it “. My manager at my last job was also lying to me saying she didn’t know how much that position paid and she didn’t know who will be promoted. I found out she was lying because I asked my coworkers how much is the pay for that position and I did research on my companies website and Glassdoor. That was my final straw. I started applying to higher paying jobs and going to interviews and I increased my salary when I got my new job in December of last year. I get paid more at my new job than I would have if I did get the promotion at my last job. When I quit my last job, I gave my manager a same day notice instead of a 2 weeks notice. My last job was firing people left and right and I was not giving them a reason to fire me which is why I gave a same day notice. I feel like some companies don’t want to be open about pay transparency because their employees will realize that they are getting underpaid and will quit.

LMAO @ "it hurts higher educated workers". "We're afraid other workers will come banging on our door when they realize you make so much more than them, so we can't pay you that much". If a company can't explain to other workers why one makes more than another, then someone is being paid unfairly. There's really no reason to keep salaries quiet. In the end it should help employers as they can tell others "This is what you need to do to make more".

Used to be a policy in most of the places I worked that you didn't share your wages with anyone else in the company. Management would get bent out of shape and start threatening folks about it.

Companies will do anything to tell their employees that they're doing new things to give them better pay.

They'll never give you anything more than what you've already gotten, despite all the goodwill they promise.
