Salary is quite a sensitive topic amongst colleagues. Should you actually share and reveal to your colleagues?

This can really bite you back. I make a habit not to disclose my salary to anyone, especially relatives as they tend to rear their heads out of the dark when they hear you're doing pretty well for yourself. Jealousy also ensues then. For a good response, saying something like "I'm earning well to get by" helps.

It is not in the best interests of employers to have an open salary culture. That is a fact. When they do salary negotiations, they often use your previous salary as a baseline.

There are plenty of discrimination scandals that occurred recently due to salary differentials. Something which can be addressed if there is an open salary culture. Not surprisingly, sales organizations never have salary discrimination issues as the remuneration is based directly on performance.​​​

I feel that disclosing your salary to your co-workers can lead to unwanted jealousy and negative feelings, especially if someone has a higher salary when he/ she is perceived as less (or equally) competent. Then again, having an open salary culture can encourage fair wages based on one's contributions, instead of factors such as gender or race.​​​

Try not to.. You don't know who you can really trust in the workplace. Might lead to unnecessary problems.

Keep it to yourself!
