If fair distribution is your concern then you should probably be more focused on the people at the bottom end making 20k-40k that could be making more. This article was not about those people.

Employers will only pay as much as it takes to keep you from leaving. At 150k a year the ratio of people who would be willing and capable of replacing you is pretty high.



It's not a matter of "fair", whatever that might mean.

The point is that if you don't take it, people above you do.

It's not returned to some global pool of good-will.


You're saying that your salary has no affect outside of your company. That's it's all internal accounting. I don't agree with that.

Salaries will affect the price of your service. That price is paid by everyone else who doesn't work for your company and passed along. You are taking a bigger share from everyone.
