You have a right to know what your coworkers make to help you negotiate and reduce inequality. https://youtu.be/7xH7eGFuSYI
I work in IT and have access to the database which stores this (I literally manage the database). I downloaded the pay details of everyone (salary + bonus). I then copied it out (by hand) to a new pc which runs tails. I emailed from this pc with some other anti tracking tools. They have no way of knowing it was me. I even deleted the log for this query so they can't even search to see who pulled it.
Fuck my employer. Also fuck the one dude who treats IT like dirt. I increased his salary on the file by 50% so he tells people it's wrong and they don't believe him and they resent him for getting paid more.
