Book Reviews
Publisher’s Weekly (Starred Review & PW Pick of the Week)
"Buckmaster packs his work with insight, and delivers his message in a charming, funny tone . . .This layperson's guide will be a boon to anyone looking to understand the forces behind how that number got on their W-2." (Full review)
Porchlight (Staff Pick)
"We used to have a standard nomenclature around here for different kinds of books—“nuts and bolts” for traditional business management, best practices, change management, and the like, and “big picture” for books on the overall environment business exists within, big ideas, and societal change. We’ve evolved away from those easy descriptions as the genre has evolved and expanded over the past 20 years, but I don’t know if I’ve ever come across a book that checks off both categories so thoroughly . . . his book is a perfect nuts-and-bolts, big picture place to start." (Full review)
Charter (formerly Reset Work)
“The bottom line is that Fair Pay is an important, insider perspective on the principles and tactics needed for more equitable and dynamic organizations. There has been too much inertia around compensation practices, and this current moment of progress on worker wages hopefully also creates an opening for Buckmaster’s recommendations.” (Full Review)
Booklist
"Fair Pay . . . offer[s] deeply informed insight into how companies set pay rates . . . A thought-provoking counterpoint to typical fair-pay books." (Full review)
AudioFile Magazine
“Narrator Joe Knezevich's boyish tone and gee-whiz optimism may seem out of sync with the dire realities of widening pay gaps and weakened employee bargaining power. But his vocal character is perfect for the author's intent--to help workers negotiate fair pay for themselves and become more knowledgeable about how business and our economy work. Knezevich has a broad and appealing range, and is fun to hear as he interprets every nuance and idea in this accessible guide.” (Full review)
