Because it spreads jealousy, and discontent exactly as you gave an example of. And because quite honestly, it’s just none of your business. Put your nose down and work harder.

Company's do not want you to talk about it because it gives you leverage when negotiating. Imagine all those poor souls they couldn't pay 10-20% less than someone equally qualified if all salary was discussed and easily accessible. Keep your nose down and work harder until your old and overpriced and laid off.

This can’t be said enough.

This is exactly correct. The same privacy used to be, and still should be, applied to personal politics.
