On: Introducing Open Salaries at Buffer

Yes, I understand why companies do it. They don't want people to know when they are under/overpaid.

What I don't understand is why people don't talk about it. If you tell and you learn you are overpaid then you feel good. If you learn you are underpaid, well, time to go negotiate/look elsewhere.

Do people think they ARE their salary? It's simply money that some people arbitrary decided to pay you...

Well employees are funny about money in general any HR professional will tell you that :-)

Having a potential employer know exactly what you where paid before puts you at a big disadvantage when it comes to negotiating a new salary /package.
