Should salaries be public?

We live in an age where so much personal information is public, writes @StephenGrootes, yet salaries remain largely secret.

Would you want your salary shared?

  • :+1: For sure, this is a crucial step towards equity.
  • :-1: No thanks, this is private information.
  • :thinking: It depends/I’m unsure.
  • :person_shrugging: I don’t care.

Secrecy around salaries is a subtle form of social conditioning, nothing more. Being less coy about money would be a great step towards better understanding its place in our society - i’m still hoping for a future where we can treat greed as mental illness. In the immortal words of Bill Hicks: “Leno’s on TV hawking Doritos. Don’t you have enough money? You gotta cram a commercial into the show?”

Nitpicking here, but the options should be phrased “No, i dont mind” or “yes i DO mind” :stuck_out_tongue:
