That, and they think of it as "stealing" talent from somewhere else, while those who are here are already here.
Huh, I'd never discuss my salary with another employee (other than my wife) regardless of HR's opinion on the matter. I wouldn't want to know if they make more than me, and I wouldn't want them to know if I make more than them. What I make is no one's business but my own.
I agree with your logic though, people who are here are already here... and people are reluctant to leave a secure job for something unknown.
