WTF.. When did employers start reporting our income into a national/international database for other employers to view? Is it even mentioned in our contracts with the employer?
Since doing so allowed them to see other data. Then they can use it for making offers that are as low as possible.
Basically it raises their bargaining power. They know how much you make now and will use that to scale their offer.
Capitalists will minimize costs. It is their job.
Remember, sharing your income information with co-workers is evil and bad.
