    Here in Washington State it has had some effect. At my work, we had many people leave because their salary wasn’t on the high side of the range even though they were more senior. We also had hiccups in hiring because candidates come in asking for the high end salary but then their experience is abysmal to say the least. But then you train this person for 2 or 3 years for them to actually be of any use, and they leave because now they got something to chase a higher salary with. A small company can’t afford to raise salaries all the time, specially if it’s for people who are in training and don’t even know it. Anyway, to give you a clue, if you fuck up like 5 times and nobody gives a shit, you’re still in training. However, if you think you’re gonna fuck up and upper management call a meeting to discuss the status, then you should probably ask for a raise.

      Oh but back to the topic. It’s good! And you don’t have to wait for the government to divulge it. You can legally tell anyone how much you make. And you should do that. Specially to younger people.
