Sometime soon I will make a thread about what I call the 'New New Economy'. I think the wage gap and income inequality have the same solution - a national system of pay grades. Compensation can no longer be kept 'secret' to play individuals against each other and a 'public shaming' mechanism can bring executive pay to a reasonable proportion compared to the janitor.
Just talk about pay with your coworkers, in actual real dollar amounts. Nothing is legally keeping it secret (the opposite, in fact!)

That said, nothing particularly bad happens in Sweden where everyone's pay is a matter of public record.

Im some (if not most) work places in America this will literally gently caress you.

It needs to become a political plank.

pretty sure that post was a boring throwaway comment about your use of the word "literally"
It was, though it was particularly odd in the context of a discussion on sex discrimination.

More productively, there are ways to share salary that don't involve potential problems since you can maintain anonymity. Writing down numbers and throwing them in a hat is an old fashioned method.
