I have an ex boss who at some time told me he used to look up names of ex employees to verify that none of them earned more after they left that company
He paid decently, true, but givrn the way things developed (he had a couple of seriously toxic senior engineers) I'm happy to say that I went to 20-40% (depending on how you look at bonuses, in Norway that is a lot anyway) higher salary in my next job and have kept getting raises since :-)
Now the two problems have departed, he wanted me back twice and I wanted to go back but he couldn't afford my current price.
Sad for both parts.
Edit: in Norway taxable salary and taxable wealth used to be publicly available.
