When the Boss Says, 'Don't Tell Your Coworkers How Much You Get Paid'

I would like to see some kind of framework for people to discuss salaries, should we pay everybody the same? do group evaluation? live with the knowledge of disparity?

When I was a team leader, I didn't have a big disparity of salaries in my team, so I think I had it easy, but when you have a tester or a designer among developers, their salaries might be way different (testers are not engineers, and I have no idea of the rate for a designer actually).

I'm a tester. Some of my work is manual; some of it is coding.

I know I get paid less than the devs (both at my company and in the industry on average,) but I'm paid well and enjoy testing more than the work the devs are doing.

All it takes is for a tester to go on Glassdoor to find out that their average salary is lower.
