> Does anyone have an opinion of open salaries?

There's no such thing as a secret. Anyone, CEO included, that thinks they have a secret tier of comp... we know. We all talk about you and what a sweet deal you got and we make jokes about how your one or two good attributes are worth at least $$$ and we roll out eyes and chuckle. I love gossiping about salary information in the open

"But, the thing about rumors..." Dude, we know what you make. We show each other screenshots. We could get fired for it and we still do it

Get it in writing :) That would be illegal under NLRA of 1935. And if you do get fired for that, you can sue.

The NLRA prohibits employers from preventing you from talking about your own salary. You could absolutely be fired for accessing and sharing the compensation information of an employee who doesn't want their salary shared.

No you don't. You have no clue what benefits and comp the CEO gets. Not even the CFO, CTO, COO, CxO knows benefits and comp the CEO (or each other) gets unless they share with each other.

If it's a public company, the compensation of the top 5 people is disclosed once a year in SEC filings.[1] Overpaid CEO + company losing money is a big red flag to investors.

True. I was responding to the OP who left an impression they were talking about a private early stage company

Is that the only way? Because the method we use is we spy on the CEO and steal their documents and then we show each other so that we... know what you make
