My company uses excel for costing proposals (not crazy). In order to accurately cost, they decided to include everyone's salaries. I was all for it because the transparency helps keep everyone fairly compensated, but some were less enthused. Sadly gone now.

LMAO

I love the transparency, but yikes.

I bet someone said "We can protect this information by making the text of the salaries white!"
