True story -- I got hired at a startup, and sometime within my first few days we went into a team meeting. The Chief Product Officer plugs his computer in to present, and Slack is up, showing his direct conversation with HR regarding my salary. Team lead saw that I had been brought on for more than him and quit. Many others threatened to quit, and they had to give a lot of raises. I guess it wasn't a notification but easily could have been.

I don't live a life that will put me in a position to be embarrassed by notifications (at least not like on the site), but there is nevertheless a real business need for privacy that is not related to what some might call immoral behavior. I think to expand the reach of this product you might need to take that angle. If Muzzle is meant only to handle embarrassing notifications, I believe it will become embarrassing to have it/be using it. Just my 2 cents.

I mean, being secretive about employee compensation in order to extract the most work for the least cost is exploitative and immoral. It's just something that everyone does, so somehow that makes it okay.

That's why they have a toggle to hide the toolbar icon.
