CFM - I try my best to keep my life private. I don't think it's anyone's business how much I make, except my supervisor. This feels invasive to me, and I resent that my private information is out there for the world to see. And I think the majority of folks feel the same way.

You stated, "Looks like about 50% of the posts on this thread think that the public jobs and salaries ought to be made public information." Well, it already is.

Job classifications and their various salaries are available for the world to see on the Department of Personnel web site (http://hr.dop.wa.gov/statejobs/jobs.htm).

So, if the jobs and salaries are already listed, why do you need the names?


Hey, let's start a new thread - "What do you do, and how much do you make?" How many folks would post the whole truth on that thread?

This really is a tasteless thread, and I think it should be deleted.

CFM, you are usually working towards a good cause - You went the other direction this time, in my opinion.
