I'd be in favor of salary sharing in this sub-thread: $155k base $145k/year RSUs (2021); $175k RSUs (2022 est) "Senior" SRE in SF 3.5 YEO, 3.5 years at current company
Nice, what's WLB looking like in your role? What industry IYDMMA?
They know every single paycheck amount and date, so it really looks like it comes from ADP.
I don't get culture issue, in many countries I lived in never met anyone that had any issue sharing salary data. In fact, most of them openely discuss such matters. Never got why in US it is so "pssst, keep it low" when discussing such matters.

The obsession with "big tech" as the biggest abuser of consumer privacy frustrates the hell out of me, and must be a real delight to credit bureaus, cell carriers, data brokers, fintech parasites, and all the rest of the slimy fuckers who do far worse things every day and aren't even on the public's radar.
Reporting an employee’s salary vs Zuckerberg selling your political motivations to manipulate elections are two different ballparks. It’s not that people aren’t frustrated with other abusers of customer privacy, it’s just big tech is the best at it.
Contrast that with e.g. the somewhat recent revelations that cell carriers have been selling individuals' granular, de-anonymized location history data to, essentially, anybody willing to pay.
From a privacy standpoint, which I think is the context here, I consider the latter sort of thing to be far worse.
Salary data should be public anyway. Let’s all share ours. I’m currently contracting for $95/hr. My most recent salary was $140k, my most recent contracts besides my current one were a flat rate $24k contract for up to 80 hours and a short term contract for $100/hr. (I obviously like my current contract quite a lot)
How are you earning only $140k annually with a rate of $95/hr? Is it part-time?
I don't think Equifax is really the one to be doing this but I do think this type of transparency is good. It will only serve to level the playing field and prevent employers from taking advantage. For that reason though, I don't see many employers sharing these data, especially any who would be on the lower end of the spectrum.
If people are upset their employers are selling this information to Equifax, you know it would be a fantastic thing that an organized bargaining unit of all your fellow coworkers could demand your employer cease. Might be time to start talking to coworkers about this and many other things that upset you about your employer.

When I submit the myprivacy.equifax.com validation it hangs at "Processing..." indefinitely. #AbolishCreditAgencies
Credit, bank checking (ChexSystems), and personal information aggregators like Lexis Nexis and Thomson Reuters Clear ought to be abolished or curbed indeed. I hate to bring trans politics into this. I'm sure that's the last thing anybody wants to hear about right now. However we are a class of people whose sexuality can be unfairly identified by these databases.
