But his boss accidentally did it for him, leaving himmildly infuriated.
According to the expert, money is more than a currency.
Sure, people may believe that you worked hard and deserved that big raise.
But others may assume that you shouldnt have received it.
They might be jealous or start wondering if your boss was biased in your favor.
To avoid these assumptions and questions from others, many people prefer to keep things private, he explained.
My salary being disclosed happened because of a simple mistake in our email system.
It was a problem that I had raised several times in the months that I had been there.
It was totally avoidable.
That was the first frustrating part.
According to Sleesman, a superior accidentally revealing personal information about an employee is likely to erode some trust.
They may think twice about sharing confidential information with that manager, even if it involves an unrelated topic.
The OP continued that the second thing that upset him was how the email was worded.
It was mentioned that I was getting a raise.
But actually, I wasnt.
They wanted to keep me so that meant my pay went up to the agreed amount.
I wasnt being paid more or getting a promotion.
A lot of attention is given to the outcome or the actual employee salaries.
Should we make the salaries public or not?
But companies should devote more attention to the process, which is how employees earn their salaries.
Otherwise, their efforts to be transparent are likely to backfire.
Officially, I dont know why theyre paid less than me, he said.
However, they also dont know why Im paid more than they are.
But thats their business.
Not mine, the netizen continued.
Im being paid fairly for what I do.
I know this not because of any market rates or comparative values.
But because I asked myself, what amount of compensation would satisfy me in this role.
And thats what I negotiated for and thats what Im being paid.
