  Well I never mind in disclosing my salary to anyone but in return I want to know their salaries also. 😁
  
  I don't understand why few people mind in telling their salaries 😕 to others. Views of other people about it hardly affects them right?

  I think it also depends on your position. Employees in entry level positions tend to disclose their salaries more willingly with coworkers more frequently than upper level positions I think.
  
  I think it is best not to as it sure can cause conflict within the organization and between employees. Although I admit the information would be benefitial when negotiating salary(from review or advancement) to ensure you receive a fair offer; it ultimately is the employee's responsability to accept an offer that is fair and agreeable to them to fullfill the position, not a salary that is "in-line" with any chart. You cannot go back later because you heard someone else has a different salary for a similar postion, you agreed & accepted that amount and were happy. One will learn by this to be better prepared in the future. If you are not satisfied with the offer, negotiate a counter offer or move on.

  Yes, I totally agree with what Gohm has posted...
  
  As was the case with me too... when I joined for my first job last year, all the freshers like me were more open with each other regarding the salary discussions, however th guys with experience and all just replied with - "yeah, we get enough to feed ourselves" and then sport that grin as if they have cracked an awesome joke or what !!
  
  anyways, even I believe that discussing salary has been prohibited due to the appraisals and all which leads to variable pay etc...
  I believe it's a personal choice as well...
