Let's not forget that it is culturally considered taboo to talk about money and compensation. Employers hate it when employees talk about what they get paid.

If people were turly getting paid what they are worth nobody should feel like they need to hide their paycheck from their colleagues.
Yet I'd bet most of the people here complaining about how this wouldn't work for x, y, and z reasons don't actively discuss what they are paid with their peers. Some "free" market alright.
- Animats 9y agoEmployers hate it when employees talk about what they get paid. In the US, most employees have a legal right to talk to each other about pay.[1] Supervisory employees may not, but rank and file employees do. State laws go further in some states; in California, non-disclosure terms involving pay are prohibited for all employees.
