U.S. Office of Personnel Management - Recruiting, Retaining and Honoring a World-Class Workforce to Serve the American People

While as a citizen I applaud the movement toward open government, transparency and plain writing, I think it is reprehensible and an invasion of privacy for OPM to publish the name, pay grade, job title and amount of any bonuses/awards for employees. I don't think that is at all necessary for the rank and file employees, nor for the public to know. These are not elected officials, nor executives of publicly held companies informing shareholders about compensation. Nothing comparable is done for ordinary employees in the private sector. One cannot search an database or read in the newspaper about what her fellow employees are being paid or the pay for someone at another company. We are constantly being bombarded with annual refresher courses on the Privacy Act and safeguarding personally identifiable information but not afforded the same protections in that regard as other citizens. One should not lose basic citizenship rights because they are federal employees.
