Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Written by Enrique Esclusa, Co-Founder & Co-CEO, Assemble How do you decide what to pay an employee? This is a simple and important question with a complex answer. With a volatile labor market, global inflation, and the continued rise of distributed work, it has never been more difficult to answer this question. Traditionally, HR teams have primarily relied upon two sources of data to inform decisions: salary datasets, compiled and distributed by third-party consultants such as Radford and Mercer; and candidate data collected by recruiters asking prospective employees about their salary expectations. Now, advances in legislation and technology are changing the way companies think about and handle compensation. In many states such as California, it is now illegal to ask candidates about their salary. Additionally, the rise of pay transparency laws have open-sourced new insights about what organizations are … [Read more...] about Real-Time Market Compensation Data Is Not A Panacea

Over 60 Christian Dissidents Detained In Thailand Facing Imprisonment, Torture If Deported To China
After an early morning police raid, Chinese Christian refugees in Thailand now face imminent deportation back to China and persecution, human rights advocates told the Daily Caller News Foundation. Thai police are allegedly transporting the 63 members of the Shenzhen Holy Reformed Church, also known as the Mayflower Church, to Bangkok to be repatriated to the People’s Republic of China, Deana Brown , 68, founder of Freedom Seekers International, told the DCNF while in Thai custody. Along with church members, Thai police also arrested and confiscated the passports of Brown and fellow Texan, Stacy Nichols, 51, who’d both just arrived in Patayya, Thailand, for a week-long visit with the congregation on Thursday, Brown said. In October 2019, the Mayflower Church, led by Pastor Pan Yongguang, fled religious persecution at the hands of the CCP. After a vote, the church decided to resettle in Jeju Island, South Korea, where a travel visa would not be required for Chinese citizens, … [Read more...] about Over 60 Christian Dissidents Detained In Thailand Facing Imprisonment, Torture If Deported To China

U.S. Government Sells Bitcoin Seized From Silk Road Case, Netting Over $215 Million
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin The U.S. government is back into cryptocurrency trading. According to a memo filed Friday in the Southern District of New York, on March 14th the U.S. sold 9,861.1707894 of the 50,000 of bitcoin bitcoin it seized in the case of a hack of the Silk Road marketplace. The government raked in $215.5 million after transaction fees. The per-coin sale price of about $21,877 was $2,000 less than the going rate on that particular day. The sale didn’t appear to impact bitcoin’s price, which gained 2.43% the day of the transaction. Bitcoin’s value currently sits at around $28,000, so maybe the government could have timed the market a little better. Twitter had a bit of fun at the government’s paying $215,000 in transaction fees — about 0.1% of the total amount sold. It seems traders for the U.S. could learn a thing or two from the crypto community about minimizing costs. For example, Gemini, the crypto exchange run by the … [Read more...] about U.S. Government Sells Bitcoin Seized From Silk Road Case, Netting Over $215 Million
