Thanks, Glenda ;-)

"Be careful what you ask for" is so true. I am all for fair pay...do it right and get it right. But to explain all of what one person is better (or worse) than another...I don't think we have that kind of measure anywhere in our lives.

:-) You made the point and made it well. Well done. Yes - comp transparency is good. And, yes, comp transparency is complex, dangerous and far from being a panacea. Transparency advocates... careful what you ask for!

Having said that, we went more transparent a couple years ago, and it "worked", warts and all.

It is a real possibility...I mean, if this goes, there's every chance that everyone will be a human snowflake, different in their own special way. This was just for fun...and to make a point. It does happen like this, though. The Law of Unintended Consequences comes into play when people try to change only one part of a complex issue.

That's probably the most cynical outcome of what is in essence a much needed change in compensation transparency. Isn't this sort of what happened when the new overtime rules went into effect anyway?
