Lovable offers employees an automatic 10% pay raise to sidestep toxic office politics

The raise happens automatically, no manager bargaining required

Stockholm-based vibe-coding startup Lovable says it’s giving employees an automatic 10% pay raise to avoid the usual corporate showdown over raises, promotions, and “culture fit.” The idea: remove negotiation and favoritism from compensation and reduce workplace friction. Whether the approach improves retention and morale remains to be seen, but the experiment is already drawing attention.
