are you suggesting that companies can get around labor regulations by declaring your compensation to be confidential? I'd check with a lawyer if I were you, that's some pretty thin ice you are skating on.
Tangential - I asked my manager where I am on the stack rank once. He said it's confidential information.
I have access to VCS, bugbases, all the documents. We're a very metrics-oriented organization. And the one thing that defines where I stand with the company, I can't be trusted with.
I think if I didn't get a check every two weeks with the number on it, they wouldn't tell me how much I'm paid.
FYI, it is illegal in the USA to restrict employees discussing their salary amongst themselves. Unfortunately it is common for companies to declare this information confidential and covered under employee confidentiality agreements.
