As a recently retired state employee whose salary was available on the Indiana government website and through alternate sources like indystar.com, I can attest more to the problems that can arise with salary transparency. Although it could lead to more pay equity, it also can demoralize staff and produce resentment and jealousy, particularly in organizations like government where salary adjustments may not be easily made.
The ultimate solution: pay parity as an adult version of participation trophies.
