as an example, I used to be partially responsible for my team’s hourly rates. we hired a proper manager though, and I am no longer responsible for that, and seemingly no longer even involved in that discussion.
as a result, I don’t know what some of my team members are paid, which means that I don’t know how to properly evaluate them and set expectations for their work output. if somebody is making $5 less an hour than somebody else, I’m going to expect less work product from them, and judge them according to that expectation. but I can’t do that without knowing their wage.
sometimes it doesn’t even benefit the company
