That&#x27;s not so obvious; if a norm against disclosing lets employers pay better performers&#x2F; people they want&#x2F;etc more, then the result of disclosing is a flatter pay grid, which benefits those that would be at the low end, but hurts those at the high end.<p>I don&#x27;t know or have specific reason to think it&#x27;s true, but it&#x27;s one model that&#x27;s not obviously wrong (if it is, I&#x27;m more than happy to hear why).
