Unintuitive Things I’ve Learned about Management
This is a little off topic, but a question that immediately popped into my head was... how does a manager deal with salary?<p>I haven&#x27;t managed before, so these questions are all hypothetical. Any insight is appreciated.<p>I would like to think that most managers would like to pay everyone as equally as possible to show equal appreciation right? But... there&#x27;s also a question of talent scarcity, then how do you balance out salary for something like that? I wouldn&#x27;t want an engineer thinking their worth is less (or that they are appreciated less), because their pay is not on par with the scarce talent person. If you put that scarce talent person below market rate, how would you deal with him&#x2F;her constantly wanting a higher salary (assuming he&#x2F;she deserves it)? Would you just have to let that person go at some point to maintain salary levels? But you REALLY need that resource, and rejecting that person would just cause that person to eventually leave.
