You ain't in Paris {where ever that is} anymore.
It's quite offensive when somebody casually asks what I make.

Why? Are you embarrassed about your paycheck? Like I said, in France and England - discussing salary openly is not taboo. Only in America is it considered "offensive".

I don't think it's an invasion of privacy for public employees and I'm a teacher who's salary is available on that sight.Non public employees are a different matter.
The public is paying my salary so they have a right to know what they are paying me.

Looking at that website, the only thing I want to know is: What the hell is a Senior Stationary Engineer and how the hell do I become one?

Thought I read somewhere, that the NYPD fought to have the data removed. That happened with retiree payouts. Foolish court ruling that lets Police Pension Fund stonewall on public records must be overturned - New York Daily News

Stationary engineer is a kind of operating engineer -- they run things like steam boilers, generators, and other heavy equipment. They're "stationary" because they deal with stuff that doesn't move, unlike e.g. a railroad engineer.

I don't know how you become one, but I bet it takes a long time to become "Senior".

All public employees' salaries are posted on the Internet, at least in New York and New Jersey.
