Why?

The local newspaper, for whatever reason, has posted salaries of full-time city employees (all the local cities) in an online searchable database.  You can search by job title & department or simply click on the city for a list of all the departments.  If you have some knowledge of the department it's not too hard to figure out who's who (for those job titles with more than one position listed) because there's a date of employment listed.  For those job titles with only one person, it's a slam dunk!

A sure fire way to ensure that co-workers become suspicious of each other - or upset because of salary differences (and there definitely are some).  Salaries, politics and religion - three things that don't need to be discussed at work (and I'm flexible on politics!!).  SIGH
