My wife has been doing taxes for a few people at Facebook (including engineers and PMs) -- many of them make an absurd amount of money. (>$800k / year)

- freyir 8y agoI deleted Facebook, and it’s still finding ways to annoy me.
- streblo 8y agoI'm not sure if it's a fiduciary duty of an accountant not to disclose this kind of stuff, but it should be.
- iscrewyou 8y agoAs long as she doesn’t associate names with those salaries in the conversation, i don’t think it’s unethical. Or she doesn’t act on those salaries and commit some kind of security fraud, it’s just a conversation.
- x3n0ph3n3 8y agoIt's no different than with an ER doctor. They can say "some idiot wearing a McDonalds uniform came in with a bottle stuck in his ass" but they cannot say "John Smith came in with a bottle stuck up his ass."
- hypertext7 8y agoThat's great for the ones that make that much, but this kind of information is what's causing Bay Area housing and rent prices to sky-rocket. I have worked with multiple engineers in two large corps and most people make anywhere between 100k and 200k.
- x3n0ph3n3 8y agoSo we should all just hide our salaries for the sake of the housing and rent prices?
- hypertext7 8y agoNo but we should be careful not to make it seem like 800k salaries are the norm.
- x3n0ph3n3 8y agoThey certainly aren't, which my original comment emoted. The reason people continue to work there has a lot to do with their absurdly high salaries.
