Are you really comparing people to a thing ? Time is being bought from employers. Years of life that can never be taken back or used to something else. We are not products. As social being the price our time is being compensated define a part of our intrinsic value. Otherwise everyone would be paid the same right ? So if our value is publicly displayed in the eyes of everyone to see, a new door opens. Will I be judged by others based on that ? Will I be able to change company with no leverage because they know my actual worth and won’t pay me from what they are ready to pay someone ? Will other people in the company or society treat me differently based on this public « worth » ? Transparency could also reveal inequalities and fix them. Of course we are interchangeable in jobs, but what about a junior developer and senior one with the exact same job. Should the junior have a senior pay or the senior being stuck at a junior pay until the next carrer change ? maybe part of the solution is that companies should be transparent from the start. What their envelope is and no more bargaining. Everyone the same amount.
