There’s like this weird culture around it where some may even consider it rude or too personal like it’s equivalent to asking someone their social security number or something
I’ve heard a rumor it’s because companies/bosses don’t want people to talk about their pay between employees because they may find discrepancies compared to their coworkers, but I’m not 100% sure that’s actually why since even their employees consider it taboo.

It really does nothing but cause disharmony.
You want a harmonious workplace.
Truth is, some people are better than others. And some people deserve more pay than others. And when you find you aren’t being paid as much as someone you think you’re better than, even though you aren’t as good as you think you are, it causes problems.
Things simply change and non management employees can’t understand it a lot of times. They only see the me vs the us.
I know I’m gonna get dragged, but I think an honest answer is deserved.
I’m curious to know what people’s salary is. But I also dont want to know because I don’t want to have to find another job. I’m okay with what I make now. Sure, I could be happier with more. But I’m okay. But if I discover the moron who I have to pull slack for is making more than me I’m gonna be pissed. And that doesn’t do good for anyone.
