The End of Rumors. The Beginning of Data.

Piraeus has always run on "Coffee Shop Talk." "I heard Company X pays better." "I heard Company Y is cutting bonuses."

Rumors are bad for business. They make candidates insecure and they make employers look suspicious.

The new transparency laws are good for the industry. They turn Shipping into a Meritocracy.

When the data is open, the "Cousin of the Manager" can't hide behind a secret deal.

This benefits the High Performers. If you are good at your job, you no longer have to guess what you are worth. The market tells you. Use the data to build your career path, not to gossip.
