How Does Transparency Help You Negotiate Better Wages?

In companies where salaries are hidden and where there aren't always clear criteria. Most political operators, or the saviest self promoters, very good at negotiating and capturing those gans. Exacyd: There's plenty of hard working people who do a lot of work, but who just don't play the game and don't get paid. And so in some sense, i'm sort of ok with some salary compression if it means that those hardworking people who aren't great negotiators actually get paid for the value they provide.
