Comments:
the basic concept to change the system is not in and of itself a problem Pay banding will permit, in conjunction with job announcements taylored to a specific individual, the current "owners of the system" to continue to exclude certain individuals and or pay "undesireables" less than the amounts offered to the favored individuals. this will create, overtime, a "favored class" composed of boss "suckups" who will in-turn hire and pay more to simular individuals. Pay banding will continue or exacerbate the current disparity between women and or minorities with the current "owners of the system" There should be a way for thoes who are not "pretty" or "schmoozeers" to also advance; for in the end it; is often the real workers who are neither popular nor well known. Patrick Henry said in "they are slave that fear to speak for the fallen and the weak" the problem here. The nutralatiy of the system is gone when the manager has the ability to "lump" workers into a group and hide favoritism in a "pay band"
