Bullshit. This is the propaganda employers use so employees don't have information to make educated decisions. There are already industries that have payroll information available to all employees, or even fully publicly available.
The simple fact is most people don't resent each other for being paid less, they resent the employer exploiting them, as they should.
I just wrote my comment on this particular issue. I had a coworker complain that I made more than them and Boss tried to shame me for it.
Weirdly though I became the manager at my next place and had no problem sitting someone down and telling them why they weren't making as much as their counterparts and when they'd get their scheduled raise and how they could improve and possibly get a bonus raise based purely on merit.
Some people get salty, some people rise to the occasion. The ones that rise to the occasion are dedicated, they're receptive to constructive criticism and eager to show you they want to improve. It's just as much a breathe of fresh air for me to see them so happy that they actually got a raise and I wasn't just blowing smoke up their asses as it was for them to actually get a raise.
After two raises to two different people I had shown my owner that his money was being put to good use because we got long standing, dedicated employees that went above and beyond. He never questioned it again after that when I proposed a raise for a coworker. Good man, and a good team.
