About - Damn Good Job

👋 Heya! Welcome to Damn Good Job.

A Newsletter from a startup Head of People, Pay Transparency advocate, and firm believer in building your own career path.

My name is Mary Jantsch and I am obsessed with building healthier, more human, and more creative workplaces.

Why join the Damn Good Work community?

Here is my ultra-stripped-back take on employment:

As individuals, we invest time in building skills that the market values. Then, our compensation is a reflection of how we choose to sell those skills.

For all the reasons and more that I cover in Part 1: The future of compensation is flexible - people are shifting from selling their skills and time through traditional employment to building a portfolio of work as independent contractors.

So, I write about these things! Join our community to learn:

Org building stuff: how to build the infrastructure to offer pay transparency, design your total compensation, and attract the right talent for your company.
Career stuff: how to build a career like a portfolio demonstrating impact rather than focus on climbing an ancient and dusty ladder.
