That story rings a bell - when I was working at *unnamed government department* a bundle of us shared our salaries one evening after work at drinks (not on site). A manager was there and overheard and we all ended up having separate meetings with our respective bosses - tried the same shit.
"You can't go round sharing that information! It's private and confidential!" - "Yes that's right, to me, not you my employer. I'm sure that anyone in HR can look up my salary." "It undermines good faith bargaining during wage negotiations!" - "Well it undermines YOUR bargaining position, but only if you haven't been operating in good faith to start with." "It can damage team performance if someone is seen to be more valued than another person in the same role!" - "Well... perhaps if we're doing the same role, for the same amount of time, to the same performance level then perhaps there shouldn't be wage disparity?" (Funny thing was we were all in different teams, doing different roles, for different amounts of time and with different levels of experience) "Well this meeting will serve as a verbal warning!" - "No it won't, because if it does then all of us will be going to the SSC and bringing in employment lawyers." "Oh." That was a fun week. Pixie

It's funny how organisations hire serious people for serious roles but the management can't help but relate to staff via a parent <-> child dynamic.

Been there, done that. I'll never forget the look on the face of my boss - with whom I had a good relationship - during salary review time when he was bullshitting me on salaries and I said "Let me interrupt you right there and say that this is a very close team and we've all told each other what we're on".
It was like jaw, drop. |

Thats what I thought, but then with all the controversy, and there was a comment in one of the papers talking about vagina shots, I started to wonder.

Teams sharing what they're getting around pay-rises etc, does cause management headaches.
I've left a job as I only got a 2% pay-rise when others in the team got 5%. This was working on a production line, I was one of the fastest workers on the line. When queried, management told me that because I was so fast, I could have been doing more to help out the other slower people on the team. To be clear, it wasn't that I wasn't helping them, it was that I could have done more. So I was given a lower pay-rise than the slower people on the team... I resigned 2 weeks later.

Unlikely; It's been threatening coffee production with noticeable impact for a couple of years now. Ditto for cocoa.

Because nerd
So I'm looking at an old website I look after and it has a function on the product search page that searches your invoices for any purchases for each result and offers a link to view those invoices.
So I'm thinking I'll be a hero and add a section to the bottom of the page that displays a list of the most frequent items that are common between those sales orders - effectively "last time you purchased items in this search you also purchased ...". Can't be that hard I'm thinking, just work out how the invoice search works and base it on that. ... Except my skills in this field are limited to simple MySQL queries with the help of Google. I've done plenty of basic MySQL queries from the console before but I'm like WTH is this INNER JOIN BOLLOCKS! Still, I'm keen to nut this out.

Leading and opening article on tv3's Story is a bit of a much ado about nothing imho. (Property "investors" short cutting the process and offering an early bid in return for giving the estate agent a double dipping on the subsequent sale)
We purchased our first home by making a offer where the owner was keen to sell, saving both of us from an auction.
