One (more) thing to opt out of:

Freeze Your Data - The Work Number

As I understand it, payroll whores your salary out to Equifax*, who then pimps it to others

* Yeah, that one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2017_Equifax_data_breach

Freeze Your Data | The Work Number

You can control access to your data by requesting a data freeze at any time, at no cost. This freeze means many verifiers will be unable to view your data from The Work Number.

I'm filling out the form there. I genuinely don't know why I would ever generate a salary key so I can let someone know how much money I made.

Also, to prevent them from sharing the information, you need to give them even more information. Disgusting that this is allowed.
