How else am I supposed to know how much I'm worth unless we bitch about how much we're not making? I openly discuss my salary with all my friends.

They answer to stockhoders who are only interested in the bottom line. There are organizations that do put employees first. They are few and far between and I haven't seen one yet that is NOT privately owned with a forward thinking visionary leader. Companies always say they want to be different but in reality, they don't want to be THAT different. In my state - Kansas - all salaries for all state employees - janitors, teachers on up to the governor are known and published. Chaos hasn't ensued yet but I guess you can't compare a government entity to a going concern. Corporations will NEVER consider employee values in their culture.
