Not sure about other areas, but in mine it's incredibly illegal for employees to not be allowed to discuss their wages, yet it still seems faux pas to do so.
I've talked to people who said "I would fire you if you discussed your wages" but seem to give no actual reason why.
Should my pay not be based on my personal merit and skill related to my job? Why is it based upon my ability to bargain and negotiate?
This seems like a "rule" that only benefits employers. I don't share my wages because of fear of retribution from my employers but would have no problem doing so if the stigma around it wasn't so bad.
Can you convince me why this is bad without using reasons that are "bad because it's bad" ie. reasons that wouldn't exist if sharing wages was more common.
