Quoting Shachar Shemesh, from the post of Sat, 26 Feb: > While I have never had to sign secrecy over my own salary, I don't
are you sure? I think it's a standard thing in modern personal employment agreements. > remember a single place I worked for where this information was > discussed either. Salary seems to be the most discrete information there > is, unless it's a group contract (ala the big companies). Group contracts are an old socialist leftover that is disappearing. even government agencies and companies use it less and less. As for the secrecy, not only is it secret by most contracts, I actually forgot my salary printout laying folded on my desk one day by accident and my boss called me in for a talk about how serious that was and if anything like this happens ever again, it's as bad as discussin my sallary with other cellmates from the office, punishable by firing squad, id est termination of contract. In that light, the fact Sivan is publishing figures rather than waiting to hear a salary demand from applicants first I can only assume this is a University or a similar government-regulated or subsadized organization. a startup or a mature company usually never put those numbers up front. For a cushy job at a place like TAU, a low presure environment, few nights on call but having to fund my own car, the salary is quite in sync with today's market. 18K NIS a month plus car would have been closer to the salary I'd like to see offered in the private sector, with its extra preassures and longer work hours. -- Karma chameleon Ira Abramov http://ira.abramov.org/email/ ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
