Thanks for your perspective.

It could be that people are afraid of generating hard feelings if they are being overpaid compared to their friend or coworker. So fear of conflict. And fear of finding out that they are being underpaid.

So, for the unknown reason, there are no capitalism and free open market (labor is commodity too) in corporations?

And here comes very interesting question - if capitalism and free open market is superior over any other system of economic relations organisation, why corporations don't want to use it for labour market inside them?

Still don't get the point of such strange corporations approach with salary secrecy. Even in terms of corporation profits. In Russia, on many HR/job sites and in job sections of professional forums even prohibited to place vacancies without exact minimum and maximum wage. There exist well known average salaries for most jobs, so as employers could plan and estimate expenses and potential employees have full picture of existing opportunities. Employees with better skills nearly always get salary above average, ones with lower skills have a good motivation to gain more expirience and so on. Everything open and predictable. With salary secrecy even simple things looks obscure - how employer could estimate his expenses for new jobs? How to plan expansion of business if you have no idea what salaries new employees will agree for? With random salaries you could easily run out of funds looking for necessary competence, or vice versa, get worst possible employees if you cap the salary. Or it will get completely random result with incompetent dumbfucks with high salary and professionals working for food.

Isn't that approach destroy labour market and cause employees quality falling? Or it is an intentional attempt to force that new "post-whatever" negative selection where higher quality of life received by ones who are not better professionals, but ones who are better in lies, cheek, narcissism and all that stuff?

In latter case I see how modern west could had been degenerated to all that wokeism, ESG and other stuff.
