>As you become more senior you'll realise

Once again, you are being rude and don't patronize me. And don't assume you have some higher level of understanding.

One thing I know, even at my current level of seniority, is that policies like these enable the upper levels to command astronomical pay and conditions while the workers are forced to "negotiate" for small increases.

I know that it will probably be this way regardless because obviously the higher ups are the ones who make the pay decisions.

>you'll either have to accept a cap on your pay for fairness or move to another company that doesn't publicise what everyone earns

I would happily accept a cap on my pay for fairness, and I strongly suspect that at most companies that would improve pays across the board, barring a few upper level people. The alternative is accepting a cap on my pay because of unfairness!

Regardless, I think it's ridiculous for the company to think it is empowered to prevent discussion between colleagues.
