Is there any way this information could be made as part of a paper campaign or web article? I just found out about this yesterday! I'm floored not by the fact my salary is posted but what it is in relation to others. Seriously, it is a shame those who have been working in my unit get paid so little and all of these newer people get paid so much. It is a shame... So frustrating
