Organizations love to do this. This is why it’s so important for people to discuss their salaries with our colleagues. Because now you know you’re underpaid and maybe you could take some action about it.
Pro
Absolutely! It’s so important to have those conversations. Knowing what others earn can really help us advocate for ourselves.
Think about how you're feeling now. That's exactly why companies hate salary transparency. Knowing you're underpaid is going to justifiably make you resentful and motivate you to either demand more money or find a better paying job elsewhere. Those are scenarios employers want to avoid at all costs.
Pro
You’re so right! Companies definitely prefer to keep things under wraps.

May be worth it to have this discussion with your manager and HR to have them provide you with a justification as to why.
Pro
I think you’re spot on! I should definitely consider talking to my manager or HR about it. Getting their perspective could really help me understand the situation better. I appreciate the advice!
