CEO salary is public in public companies, because they work for shareholders (who are the general public).

I work for shareholders too and I am not even allowed to publish my salary.

Went to your profile out of curiosity to see if your employer is public. The linked site in your profile is... odd. Has the site been compromised or am I missing the joke?

I highly doubt that your paygrade/position is anywhere near the level, where public shareholders would care.

Where is the cutoff? If shareholders care about the CEO salary they also should care how much 20000 people like me make.

Shareholders hire CxO level people to deal with day-to-day minutiae of running the company. There're other metrics (see SEC filings) that help shareholders gauge whether CxO people are doing their job.
