I keep hearing that we should all be more transparent about pay, but doing it in real life is so much harder than it sounds. I’m pretty sure I’m underpaid, but my colleagues act like I’m being too nosy when I bring up compensation. Should I drop it, or is there a better, less awkward way to ask what people are making?

My former employer was openly hostile to ANY employees discussing their salaries. People got written up.

If a department did the unforgivable act of talking about, to, supporting or doing the unthinkable and went union, they were QUICKLY outsourced. BioMed, Facilities, Dialysis and Lab all were cast out.

It is against the law to punish someone for discussing salaries. Maybe that varies state to state.

I totally agree with you,If you feel and know that you are being underpaid, then by all means continue to bring up what you want if you don't no one will and you will always continue to be paid less what you are worth!

I totally get it! Pay discussions can be awkward. But at the end of the day, if you feel you’re underpaid, it’s worth bringing it up. You deserve to know where you stand!

I’m waiting on an offer for what’s named IT Business Analyst but it’s also Salesforce Administrator work. The company is The Adecco group so they are fairly big. I have two years of Salesforce admin experience and in my interview they said my experience is perfect to what they are looking for

So my questions is, I think they are going to offer around 80k but I don’t think their going to be guaranteed bonuses with the offer. Should I negotiate a bonus to the salary or negotiate a higher salary?
