People keep saying "admire the transparency", "appreciate the transparency", but really what's the point? Who is the "transparency" for? I really couldn't care less about my salary being made public to the world, all I care about is working on something I believe in. Extreme transparency has nothing to do with their business growth and it will probably come back to haunt them later, I don't know why they're going so far as to do all this. Doing business is extremely hard on its own, why complicate matters and expose private details to the public, which can and probably will at some point be used against you? I mean even on this thread people nitpick and gossip about every single details. And it would be a lie to say they care 0% about these things. If they do care, it just means less time worrying about their core business.
