People Are Open About Their Salaries
This is a major no-no in the US. Under no circumstances are you allowed to speak with your co-workers about your salaries. We don’t want to talk about how this is one huge scheme to stop employees from joining forces and demanding equal pay, but that’s the truth. Anyway, let’s see how they deal with the sensitive topic of salary in India.
You’re more than free to talk about your salary. In fact, people will openly ask others, “How much do you make?” The reason for this, however, is a lot darker than you might think. Many families consider the amount of wealth you have as your identity. If you make more money than them, then you’re somehow superior to them, and vice versa.
