Sometime soon I will make a thread about what I call the 'New New Economy'. I think the wage gap and income inequality have the same solution - a national system of pay grades. Compensation can no longer be kept 'secret' to play individuals against each other and a 'public shaming' mechanism can bring executive pay to a reasonable proportion compared to the janitor.

HootTheOwl posted:If the only way your plan can work is by prepending it with "After glorious revolution" I think you need a new plan. Actually I am talking about something that could be done legislatively if there was political will - but it would probably need to go as far as a package of Constitutional Amendments or a Convention. But I will offer Saint Hillary an offering and atone for my sin of imagination.

ShadowHawk posted:Just talk about pay with your coworkers, in actual real dollar amounts. Nothing is legally keeping it secret (the opposite, in fact!) Im some (if not most) work places in America this will literally gently caress you. It needs to become a political plank.

Helsing posted:There's probably a related issue here of corporate culture often demanding insane working hours. It's kind of surreal when you realize that the economy simultaneously over works people and yet cannot find enough jobs for the entire populace. Some of that can at attributed to a mismatch in skills but I also think part of the problem is that there are people who work to live and then there are people who live to work, and right now much of the world seems to be run by the people who live to work. They are quite happy pulling 60-70+ hour weeks as a computer joceky, investment bankers or lawyers or CEOs because frankly they have no life worth living outside their workplace, but unfortunately they're setting norms that the rest of the economy is supposed to follow. Achievers (20% of population) include the leaders in business, the professions, and government. Competent, self-reliant, efficient, Achievers tend to be materialistic, hard-working, oriented to fame and success, and comfort loving. These are the affluent people who have created the economic system in response to the American dream. As such, they are the defenders of the economic status quo. Achievers are among the best adjusted of Americans, being well satisfied with their place in the system. Only 5% of Achievers come from minority backgrounds. Achievers are psychologically more advanced than Emulators in having a wider spectrum of values, in being more open and trusting, and in clearly having brought their ambitions into better alignment with reality. Achievers are supporters of technology and are open to progress, but they resist radical change. After all, they are on top and too radical a change might shake them off!

Your manager could be in your poo poo - other employees might freak out - you get odd / fewer shifts, etc. Basically anything they can to punish you for talking turkey and possibly organizing short of the legal thresholds of retribution.
