Im all for this on one condition. Every worker who shares their salary and then comes and talks to their boss about why Johnny makes more than Shelly who also makes less that Ray, had better be ready for the cold hard truth. Johnny does a better job that you, Shelly. He's more valuable to the company. He's less of a pain in the ass. And Ray, well he just did a better job at negotiating his hiring rate than you.
People want to believe that when there are 5 other people in the room all with the same title, working the same job, all with roughly the same tenure, that they all deserve to make the same. Wrong. As managers we dont talk other peoples' salaries but we also dont talk other peoples' performance. If Ya'll want to level the playing field by understanding what everyone else makes, managers should also be free to tell you WHY someone makes more than you, and you might not like the answer.
