On: Introducing Open Salaries at Buffer

[programminggeek]

One area where open salaries are not such a big deal - education. Many teachers are paid on an open scale of years of service X education level. It does create a culture of possibly too much higher education beyond what is useful or necessary for certain levels of teaching. That also creates teachers who don't want to switch jobs because they'll lose the years of experience pay.

Lesson - all people game the system for their own benefit.
