Maybe because it's called a simple spreadsheet of salaries. Including that other stuff would make it not just about salaries, and not simple.

So other than that, spot on.

The title of this post is a question: Why not just a simple spreadsheet of salaries?

My comment is addressing this question, and more generally, this recent interest in posting your salary.

I read "why not?" as a rhetorical intro, similar to "now presenting!"

I don't think it was a question.

Your points are solid regardless. They're just not good criticism of what was created, based on his description.

Still, great ideas on your part.
