happened to me, too, some folks from hr and finance would disclose to their friends in the office over lunch and then word just spread like wildfire. however, i work abroad (shanghai), and sure it was awkward for me personally as there was lots of jealousy and spite amongst so called peers, but the main onus was on upper management to retain people, so you'd see someone clearly not my equal get promoted twice in a year. for the record, i worked in the states for a long time so my pay scale was obviously going to be different from local pay.
