Wage transparency.
I saw this article a while back about the “Equifax Work Number” and I figured while I was going through freezing my credit, I might as well freeze the work number as well.
Now, to start off, I don’t know that the info from the work number is a useful attack vector for identity theft, maybe one of my friends in infosec could chime in on that, but I will say that it was disturbing what kind of data a company can collect in a routine background check during the interview and hiring process.
I grabbed a report from the site and it had most of the jobs I’d worked, all the way back to my first job in high school working for Waldenbooks. What was interesting was that it also had my title as well as my pay at each job. I rolled that one around in my head a bit and the longer I thought about that the more annoyed I became.
As of this year I’ve been in some flavor of #engineering, #it, #devops, or #sre for 25 years. When I interview for a job, part of the privilege that comes with those 25 years is the ability to say “this is how much I’m willing to work for in order to do this job” and many companies will pay that if you’re who they want and you’re still in the range they’re willing or able to afford.
Junior folks in #tech when negotiating #salary, I could *easily* see this screwing them over. “Ah yes, I see you have three years of Python programming experience, but now I know that you only got paid $15 per hour for that in your last job so this position you’re interested in now magically pays $40K a year instead of the $75K we originally thought we would have to pay.”
And maybe that’s just pure speculation, pessimism, and the jadedness that comes from working in tech for 25 years. I’m curious if folks have any experience into that work information playing into their salary negotiations and/or if anyone has experience with going through an interview process with their work experience frozen from being queried without their express consent and if that kept them from being offered a job. I know it can impact things like applying for a credit card or financial assistance but I was interested in hearing personal experience with this.

#SanFrancisco Superior Court #Judge rejects #Cupertino based #AppleComputer #legal efforts to stifle female #employee #lawsuit over alleged illegal #SexDiscrimination.
A female employee discovered a male colleague’s #TaxReturn form that showed him making $10k more for performing the same job title, a violation of California's landmark #EqualPayAct . Another #litigant hired a third party firm to investigate her #WageClaims and proved she was receiving less pay than male colleagues, and when Apple agreed to her raise, refused her any #BackPay for the years during which she was consistently paid less than men performing similar work.
The court found #Plaintiffs had sufficiently alleged that Apple’s #salary decisions were made in a centralized location pursuant to a #chauvinistic #employment compensation scheme that clearly perpetuates pay disparities due to #GenderBias.
The lawsuit could receive #ClassAction status as there are more than 12,000 female #APPL employees in #California potentially impacted by secret pact under ultimate leadership of #TimCook and cabal of other misogynistic policy enforcing execs.
#Plaintiff #legalteam include lawyers from three firms: Altshuler Berzon LLP, Cohen Milstein Sellers & Toll PLLC, and Outten & Golden LLP.

Pay raise for Surrey's mayor and council on the agenda Monday night
A report recommending a substantial salary increase for Surrey's mayor and councillors is on the agenda at Monday night's council meeting – but at least two elected officials have vowed to vote against hiking their own pay.

A repair #garage and #bodyshop in #Swindon #Wiltshire was #busted by HM #Immigration Enforcement for hiring illegal workers and fined £80 000 - it doesn't make long term sense for the business to do that, mechanics and bodyshop workers are on the shortage list and can get visas legally, but its likely to be the culture of short-term/precarious employment in #automotive (to sponsor a worker means hiring them for a minimum #salary ) - £80k would easily have paid for this
Was looking (out of curiosity) at job vacancies on #ITV (UK commercial broadcaster).
They now publish salaries for some jobs, what was interesting is a #news #journalist gets a relatively low #salary at the lower end - production/admin jobs have low salaries too, plus journos jobs all require a #DBS (criminal records) check!
My local #Council in #Ipswich #Suffolk #England is #hiring for an #IT #ServiceDesk #apprentice - whilst the #salary is low for the sector its a #hybrid #job (2 days only in the office) and they are providing full #training - and its unusual to see any public sector organisation hiring real humans in Britain for entry level #tech #jobs that are still in-house!
