How comfortable is everyone with discussing your salary with your coworkers? I have a coworker who will openly ask the rest of us what we're earning. It feels super awkward being put on the spot like that.

What makes you uncomfortable about it? I'm all for it! I'd happily volunteer my salary. Pay transparency benefits ALL workers. Keeping quiet about pay only benefits the companies.

The people in my office would just never talk about it, and that's fine by me. I consider it my own personal business. If people want to volunteer what they make, that's their business. But I wouldn't appreciate people asking me that.

Totally valid

Ugh yeah, been there. I totally support pay transparency, but when someone asks out of nowhere, it feels weird. I’ve started saying something like, “I’m still figuring out how I feel about sharing that, but I support the convo.” Helps me stay honest without oversharing. Where I work, people don't share; where you work, people usually share freely?

I was told by my supervisor not to discuss my pay with others because it was obvious I was getting paid more than them during my annual review conversation. So for my sake I don't want to have that conversation with my other co-workers. But I would want to have that conversation if I was the co-worker not getting paid the same as my peers. Best to keep it personal and advocate for yourself.

I like the idea of salary transparency, so I wouldn't have a problem disclosing my pay. I'm just not the type to initiate that conversation because I don't want to make anyone else uncomfortable. If someone brought it up, I'd be fine sharing though.

I don’t think I’d ever go up and just outright say hey what’s your salary to somebody. If I want to know, I at least try to warm up the conversation a little. But someone asked me I do tell them. I think it’s important to be open about your compensation.

I don’t like talking about money but if you have a rapport with someone could be ok. It’s so easy to create a sense of jealousy though.

I don’t mind

Hi all,

After the final interview, HR reached out and said they would like to extend an offer. HR gave a ball park of 135k - 145k base with about 15k in sign-on equity and 20k annual bonus.

After a couple of days, HR person came back with with 125k base and 20k annual bonus. No sign-on equity anymore. What should I do given that these numbers seem way lower than the initial range provided? HR claimed it’s because of “market conditions”.
