This article says that it's easier and better for companies to keep their unfair compensation schemes private than risk employee unhappiness by making them transparent.

Sure, it's easier and better for companies to keep their dirty laundry hidden, but it's better for employees. That's the whole point of transparency: to see the unfairness, and to work to fix it. And if you don't fix it, you won't be able to attract talent.

It is the Wall Street Journal. It's a paper for management and companies optimizing for companies.

It's the nature of the beast.

People get what they deserve and deserve what they get.

And that's precisely the subjective part. If neither party knows the worth, neither can objectively argue, so we deal with emotions on both sides.
