> 3. Your MONTHLY salary and combined comp per yer going back to 20XX when I came to the US. You work at a big company. Your employer is choosing to sell this information to credit bureaus. I first learned about this practice in the mid-2000s. Like you, I was quite surprised, but they didn't have any data on my own income or assets yet, and I resolved never to work for an employer that would engage in this type of business practice. I think employers should be legally required to disclose and obtain written consent to sell your income data, but beyond that point, it's really on you to decide what employment arrangements you are willing or unwilling to accept. It's sad that you had to find out this way given how easy it would be for these employers to just disclose it upfront. I'd recommend looking for a different employer.
