As a joke one day I sent an email to everyone in my office letting whoever left a company mug on the urinal in the men's room know it was still there. Everyone in the office would have been cool with it, if the owner of the company didn't get those. I was asked not to do it again.
Four women replied with thank you, I've been looking for it all morning, notes

I heard it you post your social security number backwards and you birthdate with a $ in the same post the administration will unlock premier membership status for you and allow direct messaging to other posters.

I'm retired now but during my working years it was frowned on if not forbidden to discuss salaries. What I learned over the years is that the only way to make salaries equitable is to make them public or discuss them openly. Companies play extreme favoritism toward individuals and then hide behind some made up confidentiality statement in a personnel handbook. Employees should know why their counterpart is worth more or less than they are and companies should be required to explain it. Women will always be underpaid as long as salary knowledge is protected. I saw it every time I had to do appraisals.
I don't want to get started on my soap box.

Many organizations, rather than deal with or have crucial conversations with poor performers, just pay them less and reward high performers with higher pay. They don't take the effort to explain to the poor performance why they make less, they keep pay secret.

People talking about their incomes generally leads to parties getting annoyed in some way. With that said, I think people will share income more in the future as leaders retire who didn’t come from the “DON’T EVER TALK MONEY!!!” generation of leadership.
You have to be pretty rationale to talk income and why discrepancies exist. Most people are going to get emotional with it.
That said, I’ll openly talk about financial matters in my personal life (and with trusted colleagues) if I know the other person desires.

Bc depending on who I tell, I’ll either sound like I’m bragging or sound like a poor fool.

It’s bc people think they are worth more than they really are and get their panties in a bunch when someone is making more than them. It doesn’t matter if the person making more has more degrees, more experience, and more time in the company - that other person wants to be paid the same.

Haters who go cry to the boss cause they feel like they deserve more than so and so. fricks the game up for everyone.
Every time someone asks me what I make at a job. My answer is simple. Each person is responsible for their own negotiations. You accepted a lower wage, thats on you hoss!

This is exactly correct. The same privacy used to be, and still should be, applied to personal politics.
