How often do people ask you your package point-blank and how do you dodge that question?

I moved to my hometown, owing to Covid. To my surprise, random uncles would ask me my package.

P.S: I am 27y/o and draw a handsome salary, recently one uncle started comparing me with one of my school senior and how he is on lower side of salary.
THIS NEEDS TO STOP !

Welcome to India ! 🤣

🪙We worship goddess Laxmi here & arnt afraid to dig into other's lives and pockets if need be to seek her blessings! 🙏

Try the Indian Army's strategy that liberated Bangladesh , ABC :

1) Avoid :
a) Take a bio break 🚽
b) Make your own cell ring and walk away.📱
c) Quote deadlines & something on the laptop 👨‍💻


2) Bypass :
a) Start coughing & sneezing 🤧
b) Feed them snacks 🍕
c) Ask them about their age related ailments 👴🏼


3) Confuse : Throw some terms from my next reply & start talking about how you like that the company has a good xyz policy.

Ask them back if they know what several of the below terms mean & tell them you can't explain only because well ... Its complicated !

Interrogate them back and make them feel dumb.

Gently hurt their ego enough to ensure they find finding your salary risky and embarrassing.

🖖🏼Live long and prosper💫
