A comment on Massachusetts Bans Employers from Asking Applicants About Previous Pay. Parent comment
- So you are talking about how much value we create and that we should receive more of it.
- Then someone else mentions a lot of other professions that do that too: create a lot of value.
- Now the discussion does a 180, forgetting completely the first topic: value. Now it's about supply and demand.
Pick your measuring stick people.
You either trust that markets work best and then you are paid exactly what you deserve, because you are free to change jobs and ask for more.
Or you don't and think that a better system should be in place, but then it should apply to everybody, not just software developers, right?
