Compensation is really hard! I’ve found, through freelancing, that having a bit of the risk on my head makes me a better performer.

Methinks you didn’t read the whole article. Paying market rate isn’t screwing anybody over. And for top performers, you should pay above market.

Sometimes paying above the market is a strategy, but as they say, “there’s always an idiot on the market, if you don’t know who it is, better start worrying” (aka, why are you overpaying?). I prefer the start up idea of total compensation (based on low salaries and adjusting later), but this works in a profile of “risk taker professionals” (“non risk takers” may take jobs with lower total comp but with higher fixed pay). So I guess that (conscientiously) fine tuning the system is the main challenge here 🙂
