Yes I do, and employees are sacked if they discuss remuneration.

Crikey. See where your attitude comes from now. How very sad not being
allowed to discuss work with your colleagues.

You get a big award from the tribunal if they do sack you for that as

Quite. I do wonder what planet some are on - paying every single worker
doing the same job different amounts.

It's a way of keeping wage costs as low as possible.

I wonder what planet some are on in not understanding this.

There are rumours that some companies only hire men with families with
children at school, in the the knowledge they are unlikely to move and
disrupt their child(ren)'s schooling. So no need for a pay increase.
