OD Salon discussion: Why not pay people as much as we possibly can? What about limiting lowest and highest incomes to a fixed differential?

ODDA's second OD Salon on Friday, May 6th discussed pay differentials. The discussion was based on these questions:
  • Why not pay people as much as we possibly can? 
  • What about limiting lowest and highest incomes to a fixed differential?
The recent "Occupy Wall Street" events contributed to a lively discussion. This chart, from Information Is Beautiful, "What are the Wall St Protestors so Angry About?" displays the ranking of countries by their GINI coefficient. The US ranks 97th -- far behind other developed nations.

Comments from participants will be added below as they are received. You can also join the discussion by sharing your ideas here.

Our next Salon will be held on December 9th, "How does physical space impact our work lives? What characteristics of our office environment promote teamwork? Foster innovation? Reduce conflict? Can physical space really have this much impact on us?
