We used to love checking our university’s employee payments when we were students.

Actually, and this doesn't apply to self-employed people, the lack of discussing incomes among employees is one the ways employers maintain control over their employees and keep them from receiving fair compensation. It's one of the ways they keep the wage gap going between men and women, whites and minorities, etc. Almost every unionized workforce knows the exact salary structure at work and employees regularly talk about wages. This provides them ammo in contract negotiations.

 

People should remove the stigma of discussing pay at least within a single company though I would say people in the same field but different companies should also talk about their pay and benefits.

Also, unless the Trump NLRB has changed this, employers forbidding employees from discussing or exchanging salary information is an unfair labor practice. So any employee handbook or policy forbidding this is an attempt at intimidating employees into not exercising their rights.
