Knowing what everyone else makes is a union/government thing. Most
corporations have a confidentiality policy on salaries but they are
also merit based companies not simply time in grade,.

Your view is noted and rejected. Sounds like a culture issue.
I spent decades in salaried/bonused private enterprise.
As I said, I always knew ballpark what others were earning.
If you're competent and competitive, you wouldn't want it otherwise.
People talk. You can choose to not inquire, and keep your ears
closed.
Best to know the market price of your abilities/products.
"Quiet rooms" never was my style.
Runs counter to keeping others' hands off my wallet.

I call BS. While I agree that it is a cultural thing to not discuss
this among friends and relatives locally, I know it is
officiallydiscouraged at the company I work for. Just for fun I
polled some friends who work at large companies in big cities...
without anexception, they say that they are officially not allowed
to discuss salary or bonus structure with peers, and doing so can,
and has,led to dismissal. The only people they are allowed to
discuss this with is their direct leader and HR. They know their
direct report'ssalaries, of course, as they are involved with
reviewing them and adjusting their compensation.

That was certainly true at IBM and Centex where my wife worked.

I do understand why when it is a merit based pay system. The good guys
make a whole lot more than the marginal guys.

it's the way it is everywhere. harry is just trying desperately to
cover
for yet another lie...

JustSnot is speaking from his years of executive experience as a
warehouse worker for a supermarket chain.

What do you have against honest work?

What has JustSnot to do with honest work?

What you said about warehouse work was a lie then? Figures. At one end
of the spectrum you have George W. and at the other end you have Harry K.

Finding someone who doesn't believe Harry is easy.

You have to understand, if harry says "you" don't work, he doesn't work,
if he says "you' are lying, he is lying, if he says "you" don't have a
boat, he doesn't have a boat. The equation is pretty easy...

BINGO!
