It's hella awkward not to answer it, and it feels like there are only so many times you can punt it.Sallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15376389949707679077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3602622501663834998.post-78390973198035185352017-07-01T14:14:15.834-05:002017-07-01T14:14:15.834-05:00It makes sense that when you're in a job inter...It makes sense that when you're in a job interview, both parties want to know what the other expects the pay to be. I was taught never to answer that question first (as the interviewee), but I still always end up answering it.

But then I worked at a university where virtually the only way to get a decent raise was to change jobs. This would still work for them.<br /><br />Though some I know got some sucker to hire them for way more than they were worth and won't ever leave. And this strategy would still work for them, too.<br /><br />So, cool, I now officially love that new law.Debbienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3602622501663834998.post-36153139551174719292017-04-22T12:10:53.828-05:002017-04-22T12:10:53.828-05:00My guess is that the marginal effect on overpaid p...My guess is that the marginal effect on overpaid people staying in jobs will be small, both because I think they already are inclined to stay in jobs plus they will expect to use the same things they used to get their current high paying job for another one (I bet most attribute their high salary to their own worth and do not recognize that they are overpaid). But that's an aspect I hadn't considered before, so I'm glad you brought it up.Sallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15376389949707679077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3602622501663834998.post-20398572111996861762017-04-21T22:13:56.469-05:002017-04-21T22:13:56.469-05:00As a person with a terrible salary history, I appr...As a person with a terrible salary history, I approve of that New York City law. But I'm trying to understand the other side. Obviously businesses sometimes get to way underpay some of their new employees, thus saving money and increasing profits (or lowering prices, or raising other salaries).<br /><br />No, I'm having trouble imagining negatives to this law. Well, overpaid people will be more reluctant to change jobs, and having stupid reasons for not changing jobs just encourages people to stay in jobs that aren't a good fit, which is bad for everyone.Debbienoreply@blogger.com
