No it isn't. At the end of the day nobody cares. People are only interested in other people's salaries so they can use it as a measuring stick for themselves.
What repercussions occur because your neighbour knows how much you make?
I'm not a big "secrets" guy in general though. In fact I think sometimes "secrets" and the reason for having one therefrom are most usually nefarious unless it is a relevant strategic / competitive advantage. A lot of times people will protect information and I'm not sure they've really thought out why. Who the #### cares how much you make, really?
If government employees in this province are making 100k, I certainly won't think they're overpaid but that's just me I guess and I do work in oil and gas so maybe I'm not based in reality.

you don't think it is a big deal? I do. just because you don't care, doesn't mean others do or don't as well. in fact, we have PIPA and other laws to protect personal information. I should have put imho on my post however isn't that implied on the interwebz?
so prove you don't care and post your real name, job, salary, benefits and any package information available. while you are at it, go ahead and post some of your account balances too. you are right, most people wouldn't care, which I stated.
After you post that information, how do you feel about identity theft? it is a bit of a big deal, as it should be.
And you see how we are talking about the act itself of posting this personally identifiable information, instead of the actual, real need to post salaries or not.
That's the actual issue.
