I've always thought that sharing salaries is a rad move: something that breaks the corporate spell and exposes inequality. I mean, in many ways, it works: once people start talking numbers, the illusion of fairness often collapses. You see who’s overpaid, who’s undervalued and who’s just been better at playing the game.

But I want to look at this from a social engineering perspective:

Information is power, we know that... But who really benefits when salary transparency becomes normalized? Is it always the employees?

Have any of you used salary transparency as a tool in social engineering tactics (good or bad)? Ever seen it used against someone?

Would love to hear your stories and takes!
