135 Pay Scales

I make over $5 and less than a million as an SIC. I hope this helps. :p

I'm agreeing with some statements. I know within my company how the pay scale works but you're going to have a hard time getting people to admit how much they make. Someone is bound to get jealous or let the cat out of the bag. At least thats how it is at small companies. A lot of places don't pay you just according to what ratings you have. They will also pay it according to experience and value you hold within the company. Some pilots may even hold more than one hat meaning they fly part of the time and do office other parts of the time. You really don't find this wide of a variety at the airlines that I'm aware of.

It's surprising how touchy people are about their salary. Once you've been in management, and seen the numbers, you realize just how close they all are inside the same job roles, and you realize that people talk.

Jealousy is common as you say, but published or unpublished, news gets around. After a while you give up worrying about who's jealous or has whatever other emotional issues over it.

Best place I ever worked at, all this crap was generally open. They didn't publish the salaries, but aggregates for relatively small departments, which was close enough. They also published which departments made money and which ones were overhead/saved money (if they were doing it right).

All of that ended a few months before they attempted to go public. (They didn't succeed, long unrelated story...) The SEC rules and fear of creating "insiders" of the entire staff was the reason the information disappeared overnight.

It was a far better place to work knowing the budget. Everyone could look up in the intraweb site how much those "rich sales guys" made, but also see how much the rainmakers of the sales group brought in. Same with overhead... Which engineering groups were frugal and which ones spent money like water.

Never worked anywhere like that ever since. Was truly cool.
 
Remember, the idea is an anonymous person can post the info. If they post BS so what? Someone else can correct it. I'd guess a person is more likely to correct bad info about their company than post original info.

Sort of like a pay and work rules wiki. Having the info out there has to be a good thing. When is information ever bad?

When it's false. You can't have it both ways, either it's good information or it's BS.

I wouldn't put it past some places to pay folks to put crap into your DB just to mess with you.

Well, there's crap on Wikipedia. But by and large the community catches it and fixes it. Regardless, it'd be better than the 'nothing' we have now.

I've watched the comments on a couple of Wikipedia pages that are flat wrong for a couple of years. A cabal of idiots makes sure they appear to have a "consensus" amongst a "majority" and switches the page back every time some noob foolishly tries to correct it.

Bad data isn't better than nothing. Think about it.
 
Ugh, I'm not going to defend bad data that doesn't exist. This is pointless.
 
See other post on why I was picking on ya. No offense meant. Good luck on it.

It looks like nobody has actually posted anything regarding their salaries that I can see? For a guy that has no experience running such a thing and has no actual people using it you sure seem to have everything figured out.

It's a work in progress. Things are happening on my end and I'm in talks. I came here for ideas to set it up.

Besides, there's 350'ish members now on the private side of the forum. That number should go up now that its public. Just need to get the format down.
 
Also, I've been running it as a private forum for around 2 years now. Scroll down to the bottom and you can view stats. Member, post, page view counts are all there. In June we were pumping out 12,000 page views a day. I know this site blows that away in an hour but its not a competition.
