I mean what good does it do me to know what my co-workers earn? Yeah, I can see where such-an-such down the hall is always slacking and is late every other day, but what business is that of mine if I were to find out she made more money than I do? Anyhow, this was a great post and comments as well. Cheers. I must say I never understood why salary disclosure is such a big deal. I mean what good does it do me to know what my co-workers earn?

HR does not benefit much from keeping salaries hidden or broadcasting them. Competition would be bigger and salaries may or may not become inflated for positions across industries. HR does not often decide on the final number given. Outside of transparent salaries, who out of anyone reading - or anyone working within a company, would want anyone to know what they make. It is noone's business. There are many aspects on the legal side that would make transparent salaries very difficult for any size company.
