PM is irrelevant role and will die in next 2-3 years.
It's not gender, competence, race, or privilege There's no sentimentality in labor, but there's power in giving someone an inflated compensation for their work because you don't wanna deal with the difficult aspects of it. It's because it's an indicator that makes you easily comparable to other candidates in terms of willingness to commit. Hiring examples Janitor: you pay money to have someone clean up after others, it's not a good job nor worthy of respect or high compensation, so it's unlikely that a janitor would be incentivized to do this job due to compensation. Janitors who take their job seriously take their salaries seriously, not the people who leave the mess behind, so they don't care why their job is out there by a C level person. Middle managers: you need to be paid that much and given an important title so the little individual contributors under you have a reason to respect your position in this company, and you being paid higher than the producers make you focus on the task of getting production up. You will have a reputation of having nothing to do but make sure you use that to chase doing nothing for a lot money even further. They're responsible for chasing people because they're the scapegoat if people don't do the work. Diversity hire: our company could stand to spend a little money to include others who wouldn't normally gravitate to us, and if they're not vicious about getting the highest salary possible, it's likely they won't pursue monetary compensation as much as opportunity for growth. They're a low risk high potential reward hire that has no downside. They're all redundant hires from the perspective of the company that serve a goal in the system. It's not a bullshit job, it's a bullshit specification for a job. Individual contributors are the true minority that cannot unionize, and are the ones who fall victim to the wage gap the most regardless of background. The wage gap is a concept that is baked into our heads to make us believe that compensation is related to value and output, when in reality compensation in the market is about the different incentives any one person has. The wage gap exists because it's the easiest way to gauge candidates when they have an idea about the compensation they should receive for this work, and therefore, influences Human Resources strategy and budgeting. TC: Less than the median salary for a senior my role, 6yoe, stem research and a minority pushed to a leadership role where my employees respect me because they want to be me, and my manager hates me because I'm not doing the job of influencing my team to do work I am capable of doing by myself *i n v e s T o r s *#tech
🥱
Ignore the above. OP is naive and writes like a 9th grader. Tldr for wage gaps, gender, ancestry, or otherwise. Search "The Gervais Principle." The vast majority of jobs, the most suitable candidate is not the most able. The most suitable candidate is the one who will carry out the boss's sociopathic goals blindly. DM me if you're confused about the Gervais Principle.
I write like a 9th grader? It's a platform that anonymous depressed employees go on to make their neurosis communal, I'm capable of writing in any style - academic or 3rd grade even. I speak 4 languages, wanna pick? The (Man Name) principle you mentioned is just a desperate attempt at seeing order that makes you superior to those who don't. You're lying to yourself when you ask other people to ignore "the above", since you clearly didn't, and desperate to rationalize executive decisions by dumb unaware people
Does Gervais principle come from Ricky Gervais ?
Give me back my 2 min
That’s 2 mins of our lives each that we’ll never get back.
Wage is assigned simply by the williness of someone (human or entity) to delegate a task in exchange of a resource (cash). Either you do it or you delegate it with resource. Some people are willing to do tasks for that resource for less or more (this is because many dont know how to get more with their skills/ dont care). Those with lots of money care about it, and plan it accordingly and like to keep as much as possible and get more. Wage gaps occurs in the uneven resource distribution, diversity and that is education and culture depends case by case. Keep it simple, everything make sense
TLDR. If you have an opinion on D, at least post from a FAANG account!
I didn't work for FAANG, and never will, and believe it or not, it's not because I'm lazy, can't leetcode, too self righteous, or didn't get an offer letter. It's because it literally bores me to work for an engineering company that pretends to engineer products when all they do is create systems whose objective function is: cannibalize at all cost
That's literally the dream of every startup CEO, though! Where do you work then?
Huh?
This is a ridiculous post that was hard to follow wow
Congratulations or sorry it happened. I ain’t reading that. Also, your Tc is not real TC. Reported to Hr.
