One Sunday, some former coworkers & I were bored, talking about salaries on the internal social network instance. A spreadsheet was created.
a thing bothered me yesterday and it's still bothering me today and so now i want to tell a story.

we put our salaries in the sheet, realized that it was created on a public to the world spreadsheet, so I copied it to internal.
-
I then put a form on it and posted the link to the form and the spreadsheet on my internal social network account. It took off like wildfire
-
It got reshared all over the place. People started adding pivot tables that did spreadsheet magic that highlighted not great things re: pay.

I did some general housekeeping stuff to the sheet (normalizing the gender field where it could be, exchange rate stuff, that sort of thing)
-
More reshares. More people adding pay. It became a thing.

I was invited to talk to my manager on Mon or Tues. Higher up people weren't happy. She wasn't happy. Why did I do it?

"Don't you know what could happen?" Nothing. It's illegal to retaliate against employees for sharing salaries. "Wellll.... ... ..."
