That’s so funny… also very helpful in filtering out bad employers from your search

Yeah employers who don't want you to know how much they're paying, are paying far too little for what they want you to do. I think that means it's working as intended.

Report that shit! There's language in the law that the salaries posted need to be in good faith. NYC lawmakers aren't trawling the Internet for bad job posts. The only way they find them is if people report them.

NPR reported Citi banking had one a 0-2,000,000. Don’t think anything has been done about that.

Where is this job, let me apply. I'll waste their fucking time at the interview level.

Or get a job that pays 2 million a year.

Report them to whom? LinkedIn does not seem to have a report for this last time I checked and when I sent a support request asking how to report a job that does not comply with NYC law they basically ignored it.

I have these two comments saved from other users: "Don't just submit tips on the website. File actual complaints to force the agency to respond to them. This link explains how to file complaints, to whom, where, when, how, etc. https://www1.nyc.gov/site/cchr/law/title-47-chapter-1.page#111"

"https://www1.nyc.gov/assets/cchr/downloads/pdf/publications/Salary-Transparency-Factsheet.pdf

Report violations here: https://www1.nyc.gov/site/cchr/about/report-discrimination.page

Violations include salary not appearing on any job posting open to NYC residents, whether in person or remote. Includes perm and contract. Includes new hires and promotions/transfers. "

That’s because not all jobs pay purely in salary. Many jobs are also stock, which is excluded as the law only covers wages not compensation.

There’s a lot of people working for $1 because they want all stock, and need to accept $1 by law.

There are also executives who don’t take jobs that are stock based compensation because they value diversity in their investments. Having your job and money invested in your job means if something happens to your employer not only do you lose your job, your investments are shot too.

People in either bucket thing the other is an idiot.

And it’s not always executives. Lots of startups pay little bit pay in equity.

They also don’t have to disclose things like 401(k) specifics (you and your coworkers might not be getting the same matching), health plans etc.

A better version of this law would just be to open up tax returns and make them searchable.
