A salary is the contract between the employer and the employee, it should remain a secret unless one of the two wants to disclose it.

- stevehawk 5y agoi think the reason some of us value the privacy is because we're on the higher end of the pay spectrum. And while many people think that making this information public will benefit everyone, I just see it as a way of reducing my potential ceiling (money is finite, this is a zero sum game) and causing animosity amongst my coworkers and friends. And frankly, not a lot of people can handle being told they aren't as good as their coworker, which is why they make less.
- alkonaut 5y agoThe reasoning behind having it public is (I believe) that it lets people see that the taxes are paid. A bit like court processes are public because you wouldn’t trust the system if it took place behind closed doors.
