Viral Tech Salary Spreadsheet
Share
A story about how tech workers created a viral spreadsheet to share salary information for transparency.
"There's another one going viral right now where 175,000 tech workers have put their salary information into this spreadsheet. It's literally just a Google sheet, but it's actually broken because it has too many rows now. Nobody can use it - they're asking for Excel experts to help them format it so they don't lose the data but people can still put their stuff in.
They're basically doing it because they want to end salary discrimination. If you're a minority at Facebook, for example, you might think 'I don't know if I'm getting unfairly compensated here' so everyone enters their salary anonymously to know if it's fair or not fair. That's how it got started, and people were rallying behind it and it went viral."
