Introducing Open Salaries at Buffer
Let's say I'm a competitor, and I find that Niel (randomly picked) is someone I want to hire.  All else being equal, I offer him $100k (website says he's making $88k).  He comes to his boss to say "I like it here, can you match it?"<p>What does his boss do?  Especially, if he's valuable to the company...<p>What if I have a very specialized skill that doesn't fit nicely into your matrix?  Let's say market pay for my skill is $200k.  Do  you create a new category for me?  Do I get dirty looks from all of my co-workers because I have a valuable skillset that most people don't?<p>I'd hate it, as an employee, as a boss or as an investor.  But that could just be me.
