I can build a pay plan that's fair and keeps us competitive, and I'm good at it. But I sit in every meeting knowing exactly what each person in the room is worth on paper, a secret I can never put down. It changes how I see people, and I carry that quiet weight home every single night.
More people experience this than they realize.
You design fair pay, but you carry the private weight of knowing everyone's worth on paper.
