COA doesn’t post salaries online.

It always seemed like an invasion of privacy that his particular salary information was available online. I find it disrespectful to federal employees.

Also, these random web sites had his salary listed as a much lower amount than he was being paid. He didn't bother to try to go to these web sites to get it fixed.

It only mattered really during his job search (when attempting to transition to the private sector), as some places would ask about salary history. He didn't want them to think he had a lower salary than he really had. But granted that was easily fixable by showing the W-2s.

He's being paid with public funds - it certainly is everyone's business. Maybe we don't think your hubby should get paid $172,000.00 for reviewing FOIA responses.

Boohoo

Exactly. She sounds so annoying. I bet her job was. . . making sure he had a warm dinner and a cold drink when he walked in the door. Clearly too much free time on her hands.

As a FOIA person I have never seen these websites be wrong. They may not disclose all salaries but we aren't in the business of giving incorrect information under a FOIA. Plus showing a W2 to leave federal service is crazy. He did your family dirty on that negotiation.

Yup, hubby sounds dumb.

I am the PP and the above responses are confounding. The salary posted online was incorrect -- I am not making it up. And my DH is definitely not dumb. I encourage these commenters to look in the mirror, to find out why you are so quick to criticize others. My DH spent 20 years as a federal employee and worked very hard and was very mission-driven.
