Really grateful for the salaries bowl on here as well as Glassdoor, but I agree it should be more common in the workplace. My manager keeps putting off raise/review talks with me and so I just stopped asking, thinking maybe I was already getting paid more than they could afford and I should be grateful... Then one of my coworkers left, I asked him and found out he was making over $40k more than me 🙃

How would anyone win with knowing the salary of peers? If you find out you make the same as your peer, everytime you are working more than them you will be bitter. And if you make less than your peers, well we know how that goes. Definitely go for more money but do it on your own merit. I almost always give raises when people show me why they are deserving and their plans for their next title. Some bosses don’t look out for their teams, though, so be proactive and unapologetic

President 1 while it is good that you offer raises based on merit and performance, many holding companies do not do the same unfortunately.

The only ones who benefit from employees not discussing salaries is the company. If the gap is more than what can be attributed to experience and performance, then that is something the employee should be able to have a discussion about to get them closer to their acceptable rate. Plus it helps employees get a better understanding of what their market rate should be so they can be more informed when negotiating salaries in the first place.

wow, head of the company doesn’t think employees discussing salary is a good idea. shocker

Sorry SapientRazorfish...you’re right. Comparing yourself to others is a good approach not only in business but in life

It’s very telling that you find any attempts at equality and fairness in the workplace as “comparing yourself to others.”

Found a most enlightening work on decolonial history with tons of TIL moments especially about Anti Colonial movements in Egypt, China, Japan and course India in the 19th and 20th centuries. Most histories this period often adopt a Euro-centric lens but this book flips it and tells the stories of these turbulent times from the vantage point of the pioneering Asian leaders like Tagore, Al Afghani, Kang Youwei etc. Lovers of Asian history would surely appreciate this book
