This is true, but in the company where I work, employees aren’t making a choice about whether to disclose the nature of our offices. Even if we kept our doors closed, which most people don’t, the nature of various offices (small vs. large, interior vs. window, corner vs. other locations) is obvious from the layout of the building.
It’s the company that’s displaying a proxy measure of employees’ financial status, not the employees.
But hey, at least we have offices. Private offices. We could be stuck in an open-office arrangement, where one’s workstation often is not an indicator of financial status but where the noise and lack of privacy would drive me crazy.
