OurGruuv::Expect is built on the aspiration of equal pay for the same job.

Which is why we encourage companies to do away with arbitrary and unavoidably biased raises.

The better way is to have multiple levels within a single title and tie tight compensation ranges to these levels.

For instance, let's imagine that you have a growth framework where juniors are 1.*, mids are 2.*, seniors are 3.*, etc.
A 3.2 and a 3.3 within the domain of engineering would have the title of Senior Software Engineer. However, they would be paid differently becuase they've reached a different sub-level within the journey of being a senior.
This style of growth framework promotes actionable feedback based on the abilities Springbuk values.

• More opportunity for recognition (and promotion)
  • ... and less ambiguity, burnout, and questioning "what do I have to do to be promoted/recognized"
• More fairness and consistency.
  Possible because the system is designed to base recognized growth on a predefined and agreed-upon system of cumulative achievement (fair for specialists and generalists alike).
  • ... and less chance of bias or stress related to ensuring an equitable system for compensation-impacting recognition
• More conversations about the things that matter (growth, performance, and the impact each teammate is having on each other and the mission)
  • ... and fewer "who likes whom" or "who is the best raise/compensation negotiator" games

Unstated expectations are resentments waiting to happen.

Therefore, OG strives forClear Expectationswhich leads to great habits, which leads to the team flow state, which leads to theSpringbuk Gruuv!
