Here's an idea for people who don't like the current social norm, but I am not brave enough to go with it (someone will probably find a good reason why it is not a good idea): Publish your own salary unilaterally, on your blog or FB page. Don't worry about others. If anyone complains, there are several arguments you can make: - It's your money, you can spend them publicly, you can count them publicly. - If the company pays you competitively, they should be proud. If they aren't proud, that's obvious sign they don't pay you competitively. - Any threat will reflect on your salary, which is made public. Is it a good way to treat an employee? - If you want to compromise, you can say you give certain percentage of your salary to charity and publish the amount. Then technically, you didn't publish your salary. And again, any reaction from the employer will reflect negatively on them (because it will reduce the amount you put to charity). I believe, if someone does that, there will be good people in the same company that will be willing to privately tell him how is he standing. And if enough people do this, they can change the social norm eventually.
