>no good can come of it [sharing ones salary] >Everyone is not the same, and individual circumstances dictate what somebody's salary is. And yet, ones individual circumstance can lead them to doing the same job as a colleague, yet making significantly less money in silence. 'Individual circumstance' did not dictate a salary- the salary did not simply materialize from ones 'individual circumstance'; it came from a necessity to have a job, and eventually a number written on a contract by a person or committee just as susceptible to bias and prejudice, conscious or unconscious, as any single person. How many more jobs do you think we can outsource to people who do 100x more work for 100x less money before we feel comfortable sharing our salaries?

> How many more jobs do you think we can outsource to people who do 100x more work for 100x less money before we feel comfortable sharing our salaries? Good question. Maybe all of them? I feel it is directly interlinked with this- > the salary did not simply materialize from ones 'individual circumstance'; it came from a necessity to have a job So what if the answer to the first question is: all the jobs can be outsourced to people willing to work for less. Now there are no jobs. Now that no one has jobs no one has their job simply materialize. They now face necessity to find a job, and the jobs are filled by lower wage workers. This person now must either lower their valuation or acknowledge that they aren't facing the necessity to work that the people the jobs outsourced to face. Its literally a privilege to be outsourced from, or to not be desperate enough to work. The initial circumstances have so much to do with it all. I would feel like an undervalued failure if i worked at mcdonalds- meanwhile people are hopping trains through central america and risking arrest and death just for the oppotunity...
