Do you guys ever worry about your SSN (SIN in my case, in Canada) getting exposed or stolen?
I've worked for a lot of shitty employers over the years and I'm concerned with how easy it'd have been for a manager to steal them, or even just as a result of improper storage.

What a phenomenal idea.
I get that the SSN has it's use for social security and/or taxes, but it should be no business of employers, banks, landlords etc.
