The problem I see sharing salaries is that people tend to overestimate how good they are. So inevitably everyone will have salary envy and no one will be happy.

It also would make explicit who is most valuable to the company.. which can be dangerous
- vog 11y ago> It also would make explicit who is most valuable to the company.. which can be dangerous This information is usually already expressed in the titles/roles the employees get. I don't see how publishing salaries would make any significant change to this. Also, you are assuming that salaries do express the value for the company, which is to be doubted, according to the story at hand.

Gather 10 people from a company in a single room and I really doubt they will be able to agree on it. Especially when it's not even about how good they are, but how much value they provide. I have seen this issue in a team of 3 people I managed, it's hard to imagine what it will look like with 100+ people.
