You shouldn't keep your wages secret. Your boss wants you to, because they don't want you to find out you're being underpaid.

  It should be up to me whether or not I keep my wages secret (and if I don't, with whom I choose to share them).

    Your employer is already sharing your salary info with "the work number", and they will sell this data to any company you apply to

      Same principle applies. I oppose this and think I should be in control of that sharing. Even if that’s happening, that doesn’t mean I think “oh well screw it, I’m so unhappy it’s being shared with one party that I conclude it should just be shared with everyone then…”

    Why? Public wage knowledge makes everyone better off, why should you get to interrupt that?
    • sokoloff 4y ago
      That it makes everyone better off is introduced without evidence. With evidence, I might agree. Without it, it defaults to private information for my way of thinking.
