Should you know your coworker’s salary?

By Jena McGregor

Sharing salary details has long been one of the great taboos in Corporate America, ranking even higher on the list of “what not to do at work” than getting drunk at the company Christmas party or crying during your performance review. But for more and more employees, it’s not just an office no-no. A new paper by the Institute for Women’s Policy Research (hat tip to Leadership Lab) found that almost half of all workers in the U.S. “are either contractually forbidden or strongly discouraged from discussing their pay with their colleagues,” making it harder for employees to discover whether they’re being discriminated against or not.

That may seem like a strikingly high number, especially if you’re one of the many nonprofit workers or federal employees who toil amid strictly defined pay bands or have a good idea of what your cubicle-wall neighbor makes just because you have access to a database. But in the land of corporate profits, such transparency is about as common as a CEO who chooses to fly coach instead of by private jet.
