My company uses excel for costing proposals (not crazy). In order to accurately cost, they decided to include everyone's salaries. I was all for it because the transparency helps keep everyone fairly compensated, but some were less enthused. Sadly gone now.
LMAO
I love the transparency, but yikes.
I bet someone said "We can protect this information by making the text of the salaries white!"
Thats more work than it's worth. Just black out the cells instead.
