The people on the other side of the debate are the ones creating these sort of frameworks.

I can understand this is a reasonable response when you're given the task of evaluating people and pay them accordingly.

Still, this is exactly the reason I hate being an employee. I don't think the employee model is really good, in general.

In the end the role title is meaningless and if a contributor doing good work threatens to leave, it's usually cheaper to bump his pay than to pay for a recruiter's fee, interviewing, onboarding and risk of bad hires.

This doesn't work with weird hiring rules in crazy places (Eg. Amazon's expectation of firing a certain number of people).
