> Just imagine having the sorts of discussions we have about ostensibly-overpaid NFL players While bad from a companies point of view, salary transparency is one of the few free market mechanisms in sports, and it does generally result in meritocratic distribution. The very fact you can mention someone who is perceived as overpaid implies scrutiny far beyond anything possible in a major corporation. Frankly, I suspect this would be worse for company profits more than anything else. In sports they have a strict % of total revenue that salaries can come out of,which limits the pot. Employees would certainly have no such artificial limit, in fact such a thing would likely be illegal.
