Benny complained the other day that he was forced to hang out with
somebody *so boring* that he almost wanted to slit his wrists.
And all the while I'm thinking "hey, uh, Benny... you know who you're
hanging out with right now??"

That sounds like awful conditions to hire someone under. I can't imagine
how anyone gets a skilled job there.
I mean, it's like that for government jobs here, and *everybody*
complains about how government workers are, for the most part,
completely useless and overpaid. Ask anyone with at DMV is like (DMV =
Dept of Motor Vehicles, who issue driving licenses, auto registration
renewals, etc).

If you apply for a job as a sysop in a shoefactory, it would be
completely useless to mention. OTOH if it is in a group with a lot of
creative people around like in IT-firms and universities anything that
shows that you are special in any way would be a bonus point. In fact
many things that would make me decide to hire you in stead of yet
another freshly graduated student are not in your CV. Nor would you
mention them in a job interview, because you don't think it is important.

Agreed.
I guess it depends on whether I think I can actually *find* one of the
"interesting jobs" which are rumoured to exist somewhere...

The first rule of salary negotiation is to not answer that question, but
to ask "what are you offering?"

It's also probably not legal for your current employer to disclose that
information. Here in the US, salary information is between you and your
employer - with a few notable exceptions (executive compensation in
publicly held companies, government jobs, etc).
