Since we have been talking about salaries (Mehta Committee report, post-doc salaries, etc), perhaps I should link to Joel Spolsky's column in which he describes a fairly objective way of deciding the 'level' of an employee in his organization; everyone at the same level earns the same salary.
Seems pretty radical for a private sector company. But Joel says it's working great.
The key thing is that "level" as defined in his company isn't quite the same as how a typical government bureaucracy would define it.
ReplyDeleteRahul: I agree. I found Joel's piece interesting simply because of the environment it's embedded in: private sector in the US. Didn't mean to make any connection with our pay commission thingy.
