-We offer a competitive salary.
-Places X, Y and Z offer much more.
-We don't compete with them.
Stupidly enough - not satire. I've had this conversation with three different companies. They struggle to attract talent for some weird reason.
I’ve heard this a million times.
That’s why we want passionate people. If they’re not passionate about the product, they’ll just leave us for somewhere that pays more.
So… pay more?
Why should you stay when we don’t pay competitively? We have difficult problems to solve.
Sure, will my landlady accept that as legal tender? Because they also have those at the other company.
A capitalist company with a CEO earning what CEOs earn, and a board of directors maximizing profit, does not get to shame me for wanting to get paid as much as I can.
Well they get paid more to shame you
True. But also I get paid more by taking my employment elsewhere. So win?win? I guess.
