Feds Income

[Anonymous]

When I was first hired, my agency made it a point that my salary was public information, and that I should report it or state it to anyone who asked.

What is the specific identity theft risk, 19:40? For years every federal employee's job title and Grade/step have been public information. This merely attaches the current salary for that level and includes any bonus paid.

I was a fed for 26 yrs. including being a ethics official for a large office. I'm not terribly upset about this, as courts have said, sunshine is the best disinfectant and it's useful to be able to see this information.

It's public money and public information.

Not PP but I disagree with identifying salaries for individuals by name, especially for workers in the lower pay grades. In reality, it's probably more useful for federal employees as a tool to negotiate compensation relative to their peers.

I think it is a security risk for people and a violation of privacy. Not everybody needs to know where you work. Salary I agree is ok but your agency and location not so much. At the end of the day though, if you know someone's GS level and location, you know their salary range already. It creeps me out that my ex can find out where I am during the day.

C'mon, grow up.


This does not tell where you work. It may give a city. It correlates to a GS Grade & step, which has always been publicly available information.

Stop being a baby and whining.

Signed,
a 26 yr. Fed

Are you the guy also posting on the Are you Unhappy in your job thread? Why are you such a tool on this thread and so nice on the other thread? By the way: there are plenty of agencies that have only one location in a city, so of course the list will pinpoint your daytime location. Stop being such a tool 26 year fed.

It doesn't negate the Freedom of Information Act, however. ;-o

Don't joke about that. An unhinged ex ran his car into the capitol in 1999 and killed people.

+1 why is anybody making light of domestic violence issues? of course 26 year fed must be a man.
