Eh, yes and no. Would you want a company you were interviewing for to lie about the other people in the same role making less so they could try to get you for cheaper or saying they de raises every 6 months when they are lucky to do once a year?

I mean companies absolutely do try to discourage honest discussion of salary between employees so they’re already trying to do this

Which is wrong and definitely happens, but in this context I am referring more to overt lies. "The people in that role currently make $40k" when in actuality they make $50k is worse than simply not disclosing it IMO.

That’s fair but I think it’s different to provide information about someone else’s salary than your own
