    BBC: Firms told to publish salaries in job adverts ahead of new law

    This isn't just "upper end specialized positions" the ranges and/or structure will simply change to become meaningless for any position employers didn't want visible compensation for, for whatever reason. If the employees expectations are above the band, then they won't apply in the first...

    BBC: Firms told to publish salaries in job adverts ahead of new law

    It's not 3 separate positions, it's a continuum from practically £250 to up to £2m or so at the high end. But that's not the point - the range can be arbitrarily wide, so this whole thing is just lip service. Companies that don't want to publish their ranges, will either make them wide enough...

    Have you had a bad taxi / ride hailing experience in South Africa?

    Yeah, also interesting things like “Uber Pet”, and for super cheap “Uber Share”, where you land up with other people in the car. Interesting - a lot of Seattle is super tedious to navigate due to the water separation - can see why it would be handy to have a helicopter option.

    Have you had a bad taxi / ride hailing experience in South Africa?

    I would rather pay more and get something better. In the US you’ll typically get a newish Lincoln Navigator, or at worst a Chev Suburban, and best a Cadillac Escalade. In the UK (no black option, rather Exec and Lux), you will typically get a Merc E Class or Merc S Class respectively (or...
