Of course there will be, that is the very nature of most working environments. The exception (very rare) where the playing field is very level.
The ideal world of disclosure on salaries/bonuses would be something like;
Same Starting salary for all on a particular grade
Same increases based on x
Same bonus bases on x
Exactly the same opportunities to earn for all
....
Great if you can easily tell that whilst you are at the same grade as me I have been in the company 5 years more and that is why I earn x more than you all is fine. That's not how it works in reality though.
Staff always have their own view on their ability in comparison to another, they will often feel aggrieved at someone else earning more because their perception of themselves is being a high performer and other person not being in the same "zone".
My teams' annual bonuses range from £0 - £xx,xxx based on a wide range of factors but all assessed in the same way. If it was published all hell would break loose due to the very fact that under performing individuals most often feel that is not the case and the high performers in their view are the opposite.
It would be very difficult, certainly in my environment, in fact no, impossible to be that transparent.
Heh heh heh, that's the real world. You grabbed my bait eh? :P
I felt I had to
Back to topic, I think transparency in hosting is what made me fell in love with ramhost.us.
Well, it might not be 100% transparent, but when I get to know people like @jar & @ryanarp and chat about how their principle in running a business, their passion in doing what they do best, then I believe that it is possible to run a profitable transparent hosting business.
Smooth sailing. And less politics.
A few google searches led me to a nice picture in an white-orange shirt at an AGILE AGILE AGILE AGILE!!!!!!1! company. A lot of indian dudes as well. I thought you were studying still?
I would guess there would be less secret resentment fueled by whispers and rumors, at the very least. Any place where people gather together for long hours on a regular basis is bound to attract drama.
At the company I work for this has been done by the start; same with Buffer IIRC. It is very hard to do in an environment where such a system is not yet in place (believe me, I've tried).
We have salaries based on set KPIs or age, with bonuses based on either individual or team performance (all based on set formulas, etc.) so everybody knows why someone gets X amount of money.
Yep. We have over 150 people in India (who frequently come to NL) and some of them even work here at our customers.
I've graduated in 2011 (I think?) and after having worked 6 years (from 2009) at a local web development agency I made the switch to where I work now earlier this year. So, no more studying for me :-)
Oh, you have no idea: there's less than I could have even imagined. The mess companies create when giving people salary X based on the views and feelings of managers without any kind of coherence between them...
Imagine teachers grading tests based on their views and feelings.
I'm just going to leave these here...

I don't have any issues with any of that, the public view side is not quite as simple to implement, I use xen though so your not going to find out much of any importance that you could not work out for yourself.
I did have it on LES for a long time but Zabbix failed me.
The question is why do you care, if it works it works, if you want dedicated performance on your shared resource environment you are doing it wrong to begin with
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I have used your service before and all your boxes I got are awesome
We do,
We host around 10 vpses on these nodes and max out the memory to 26GB so there is room for upgrades.
Status including load: http://status.hexodo.net/
Agree mostly however for many, myself included I don't want to have to raise performance tickets because you have overloaded servers too much and/or don't care because I should not have expectations based on what I paid.
Now that said I pick carefully. In say the last 3-4 years of using LE* type services I have only ever had issues at 3 providers out more than 20. But I knew what I was getting into with those, i.e. CVPS.
Overselling is not a bad thing in the right hands, we know this. Bottom line is that if you research in the first place without being influenced mainly by price then the providers infrastructure and they way they operate it should not be a concern.
Nobody mentioned this thread, but I think it's relevant here.

This was a good discussion...
Not really. This thread is about provider transparency, the thread you are linking to is about the opposite.
NodeQuery does the same job, Afaik, it doesn't have a Public Page Display system. Only the Admin can see the details.
What price are you paying for that node, with IPs?
It's owned hardware
@virmach for nix stats I don't think you need an invite anymore... You can pm @vfuse and he can get you set up!
You do still need an invite code. You can sign up with invite code LET. Currently redoing the dashboard (responsive), almost at a 1000 beta testers
If asked in tickets yes; we run a few varying configurations and generally don't publish it on our front site apart from generalisations.
No but it seems nobody has asked us yet.
Yes on our status page; it averages a couple of visits a month.
Curious to know this as well.
Yep, gotta set that campaign in the URL!
