One Sunday, some former coworkers & I were bored, talking about salaries on the internal social network instance. A spreadsheet was created.

Wasn't sure if this would be good for the company. Wanted to see what the outcome was. Mind you once a PB is rejected, that can't be undone.

Meanwhile, one of the other people involved, a white dude (good friend I won't name, he can name himself if he wants), was also getting PBs.

His weren't getting rejected. I told him mine were. He was pissed. Wanted to tell everyone what was happening. I declined.

A smattering of people knew what was going on. Backchannels being what they are at former co. (lol IRC
#yallknowwhoyouare), it got around. -
Rejecting PBs was so unheard of, ppl didn't know it was possible. There was outrage when they found out. Shock that I wasn't talking abt it.

Most people agreed that it was A Good Thing. PBs kept rolling in. Rejections kept rolling out.

One PB eventually got approved. Way after everything died down. Because the person worded it in a way that was vary vague.
