That's great for the ones that make that much, but this kind of information is what's causing Bay Area housing and rent prices to sky-rocket. I have worked with multiple engineers in two large corps and most people make anywhere between 100k and 200k.

So we should all just hide our salaries for the sake of the housing and rent prices?
No but we should be careful not to make it seem like 800k salaries are the norm.
They certainly aren't, which my original comment emoted. The reason people continue to work there has a lot to do with their absurdly high salaries.
