'Just came across old HR documents:' IT worker discovers salaries from 10+ years ago compared to now

As you'd expect, the discovery here was a disappointing one. If you were expecting some perfect angelic company that took into account inflation and cost of living when it came to salaries, you'd be wrong. Instead, what this Redditor discovered was that the salaries have been the exact same for over 10 years.

Here's how the snooping happened. The Redditor works in IT and was tasked with clearing some old hard drives. In other words, his employers clearly did a bad job of hiding this information. When it comes to the topic of salaries, we know very well at this point that employers intend to stifle these types of conversations and brand them as taboo, not for any moral or ethical purposes but rather to keep up the illusion that everyone is being fairly compensated for their labor. Clearly, this IT worker confirmed his suspicions.

For more stories like this, here's one about a worker who was denied a much-deserved bonus.
