"Salary Transparency Destroys Workplace Harmony"

Salary transparency doesn't destroy harmony — it exposes pre-existing resentment. When Colorado mandated pay ranges in 2021, identical roles showed 40% gaps. Unlike #5's PTO scam, which hides cuts behind policy, pay secrecy relies on information asymmetry. A 2023 Payscale analysis revealed that transparent companies have 14% lower turnover and higher satisfaction. Companies panicked over mandated ranges because harmony was artificial; transparency merely reveals inequities.
