at my level we have a pretty strict spines and points pay ladder, which was put in place specifically to mitigate the problem of men getting paid more than women for the same job because men are more likely to ask for pay rises. But I can definitely ask explicitly for career recognition points
Wow! That sounds pretty fabulous. (And can I just say I've never heard the expression "spines and points" -- what constitutes a spine, and what a point?) Are there negative unintended consequences? The classic failure mode of explicit recognition systems is that important things that lack social status get left out. Who gets to decide what's worth what? Is it hard to get career recognition points assigned to activities?
Miscellaneous. Eclectic. Random. Perhaps markedly literate, or at least suffering from the compulsion to read any text that presents itself, including cereal boxes.
