The hard part with fall-out is when the salaries are published in the local newspaper and they are higher than the median salary of this area.

However, before we do that we need to create an environment for doing it. We need to check, is our environment conducive enough to face this truth about salaries. Do we have internal parity, are all salary decisions justified and in-line with our career progression commitment, etc. In the Indian context, our workforce is still not very mature enough and our system itself is not so transparent and justified as we still have 30-40% soft-part attached to all such salary related decisions.
