Pretend that your organization has an important job opening and each person with an interest in the position is given this notice:
"Your personal finances must be made public during the application process and continuing throughout your employment. Any problems which you've ever had in your private life will probably be described on the front page of the newspaper and on the Internet. The same rule applies to your family. If you get the job, your motives will be frequently questioned by professional critics who can make even the most innocent conduct seem tawdry. Idiots won't hesitate to deride your intelligence. Interest groups will threaten you if you don't do what they want. Your appearance, clothing, friends, cars, household pets, entertainment, leisure, and schools will be targets for barbs. You and your associates will be cruelly mocked. Others will seek credit for your achievements. Evenings will often be devoted to attending boring events. The work itself will seem like one committee meeting after another. Extensive travel is required and you'll have to raise a lot of money in order to be seriously considered."
Would you expect to attract the best applicants?
