I completely agree that these salaries are ridiculous and that something should be done about them. However, janitor Bob or accountant Kelly didn’t pick their own salaries, and to them it is just their job. These individuals happen to work at an institution that is the story, but on an individual basis they are not the story. The printing of individuals names was 100% not necessary for the news story, and was obviously done because someone pissed off someone else.
Could you imagine the drama that would ensue at your office if a list of every employee’s salary got circulated around for all to see?
