Zero outside discussion doesn't mean zero awareness. There's bound to be someone who brings it up. But he's saying that you don't have a debate over it, and certainly don't pay off the people who complain - you fix it quietly.
If the manager doesn't realise that they are paying too little ... honestly they are so dim I don't think any good advice will help. A manager should know more about the business side than the people they are managing.

But that's exactly what the person i'm responding to said: No raises if you mention you are (all) underpaid (or you personally are underpaid). It leads to those games where promotion gets linked to compensation, so people are promoted because otherwise you'll lose them, not because they're best for that role. Companies pay low 5 figures to many databases to figure out how much to pay role X or Y or Z. I don't think managers and the people make budgets for departments are always aware of the salaries of different roles. And I don't think HR people are always aware of the differences between different people who make them worth X over worth 1.5X This is advocating for paying the way governments do. Is that really the solution? Because govt: that's the definition of apolitical. This is a solution that doesn't lead to the objective of the policy.
