re: Why is talking about salary a taboo?

I have no issue talking about salary. I find it very odd that people get some tight-lipped about it. Whether you make a little or a lot does not have any influence on the caliber of person you are. Teachers making 45k can be much better than hedge fund analysts making 200k.
Companies never seem to want employees discussing wages.

Generally speaking those that make more are more comfortable discussing income, obviously. As somebody that has been privy to salary info at many large companies, I can say that it's not normally a good situation knowing what co-workers or friends make. Many reasons for that.
I can say that as a finance guy doing work with engineering companies, I loathe knowing what some engineers make. should've done engineering
On a personal level, it's the jones' mentality that makes it tough. I make more than most think due to my modest home spending, and I'm ok with that, but I just don't think it's anybody's business, and I'd rather people assume I don't have money.
