That’s an unusual question. Why do you ask?

I was chatting with one today who said they were in the market for new headphones. And I held up mine and was like “idk how much you’re trying to spend but I LOVE these and I think the cost is worth it since the last pair lasted 10yrs”

And they made a comment about how much I make vs them and for some reason the tone of it didn’t feel like it was speculative based on my discipline/title. I’m not overly concerned with it, it just got me curious

If it’s discovered they accessed or used that data, they get fired and whoever they give it to gets fired - no questions asked.
