Unpopular opinion, but there is little to gain from talking about salary. It's not the business of your co-workers what your salary is. I think salary is fine though to be shared anonymously like in trusted sites though and this helps create transparency in the industry. From my experience, talking about salary with colleagues just creates a toxic environment where-in people spend too much time and attention thinking about whether their colleagues deserve their salary. If I thought that I was not being paid enough, I could just apply and look for a higher paying job. I don't need to know what my colleagues are making. Also, if an employer wants to pay employees differently then that is perfectly fine, since every employee is different in their contribution.
