That benefits bosses and deprives workers from knowing how much their labor is worth.
That's my point. Unless you are an online leftist, you probably aren't constantly analyzing the world in terms of bosses exploiting their workers. You are far more concerned about your social standing among your peers.
Sort of? I'm a team lead (middle management) so I have a vested interest in seeing my team is paid as high as possible. As part of goal planning we have frank discussions of certifications, training AND salary. That includes discussing where I'm at and what it took to get there. Its pushed folks who otherwise would be content with what the company gives them and gives them a roadmap to move up.
Wow you're the exact opposite of my experience of middle management! Which is: never discuss salary, don't encourage certification or training, do not explain how you got there, do not give employees a roadmap, just pile on the work and stoke fear.
Sounds like par for the course in the US. 🤌🏼
