at my company, they recently changed the leveling structure and consolidated some of the lower levels. we now have visibility into our individual salary bands and our comp ratio (indexing against the band midpoint). i really appreciate the transparenc and i think it's a good way to benchmark how you're doing and seen at the company vs. a standard. do you have salary transparency at your organizations and do you like it?

I wish this were true for my company, too. How does transparency help you in your career growth? How do you go about it? This is the Wild West for me. Something I need, but managers don't have the culture, and coworkers won't budge. Honestly, when leadership hides the data, it’s usually because the structure doesn’t hold up. What you’ve got isn’t just transparency, it’s accountability.

No, we do not. And frankly, our “Leaders” are not mature enough to handle difficult conversations that come from transparency.

I like it for transactional workers (such as manufacturing operators, test techs, etc). It helps with engagement when it's also coupled with a transparent pathway for promotions. Meaning also being transparent about what skills differentiates a Tech I from a Tech II, etc.

I do not like it for knowledge/professional work. Not all Product Marketing Managers do the same work to the same rigor and quality. If you are a high performer bringing 3 times the value than another Product Marketing Manager, you should not be benchmarked by title. I believe in being compensated to your value, not to your title. I turned down an offer from a company that was proud of their pay structure. It was totally transparent and published. All managers made the exact same salary. Sr Managers, the exact same salary. Directors, exact same salary, etc. I was offered a Director role but turned it down because if I deliver more than my peers, I want to be paid more.

Is this legal? My spouses company just decided to change their comp structure for account managers.

So now they have to worker harder to get $50k they were already making. (Not a decision based on employee performance, they’ve been crushing it. I think the company is just trying to save money they overspent else where)

My husband just received a job offer on an opportunity he is really excited about. It would be great for his career and they are giving the 15% jump in base he asked for, however they won’t share what the target bonus amount would be. It’s an executive director position, so I would assume it’s a decent target bonus, but without that in writing it could honestly be a gift basket at the end of the year. Is it a red flag for them to not share this? His total comp could be less at this new job…
