Do you share your salary package with firnds?

Hello subha. I won't share package with friends and I don't ask them about it. I only share with my best friend. I don't think think it necessary to share our salary with other people if it is the best friend we would like to share. It is always a secret of ours and needs to be kept unless we are willing to let it out. lol

Well a nice discussion to managing the weird situations, actually i wont share my salary package with present colleagues and only with my boss as he knows better. And in outside world i do share with the approx figures it may vary 10%+ -...depends on the listener...i may feel not loyal sometimes but as the guys asks for fun so i too make fun with them... But i have habit of appraising myself with growth in package to the inflation after deduction of taxes as to check as i am growing well with the economy where i am living or not...

In our country, different jobs pay workers by different 'awards'. It depends on the work and the hours you do. Others are on a flat rate yearly salary. It's considered rude to question people about "what did you get paid?". I guess friends might discuss it sometimes but I never got asked or discussed my earnings. I'm a bit curious as to how you know if you are paid less than everyone else if you don't like to discuss such things?

hi buddy.. i just now finished my college and stepping into the career.. the thing is that i got placed a year before and waiting for the call letter from the company. soon after my friends heard that i got placed they started asking me for the treat and i said them that i will give them a treat from my first month salary.. and my sharing of salary package started from my first month salary itself and i will continue further.. but the thing is that we should not spend money much lavishly.. thats it.. happy mylotting..

Salary package of each employee should be kept confidential. It should not be brag to everyone. Its a basic rule of human resources department. Salary packages differs on how an employee performs or what position he or she holds.

Alot of people have that habit not sure why, I personally do not like to ask no one because it is a personal thing and I feel as though they are trying to compare or something and it is not right. I just do not mean to be mean but I just tell them oh enough why? They usually just say oh no I was just asking, it's cool don't worry about it. I avoid those type of subjects.

no I never did, that could lead to jealousy and bad friendships, it is personal and should remain that way.

I don't think it is very kind to ask people their personal information either unless they are a very close friend and they truly and sincerely care about you. Most good friends would never ask you though because it is personal business. Some will ask just because they are concerned though.

In our country we have a proverb which says "Never ask anybody's age or salary". So to respond to your discussion, I never ask anybody's pay package neither do I share my husband's or mine when I was working. It is really rude and ridiculous to ask someone what they earn if they are not family. You should give a round about answer without giving any details and try and avoid the question, this should give your friend a hint of how you feel about being asked.

I do share my pay package with my close friends... especially when i am urging them to quit their current job and find something that will pay them more... my current salary is not at all that high... but considering the fact that my time is very flexible... i can't really complain... and since i also have food allowance... that is something that i can brag about...

I don't like to share my salary package to others except with the close friends. There is no necessity to ask other's salary. If a person is going to join a new job it is natural we ask about the salary package. Otherwise I never ask anybody about their salary.

I am a bookkeeper/payroll processor by trade, so this information is very confidential as far as I am concerned. I don't think it is ever a good idea to exchange salary information with people you work with, and I don't do that with people I don't work with either. Just the way I was raised and the way my work ethic is I suppose.

Never, it's personal.

Well,I always let my friends knew at what position I am.I mean the salary package of mine is known to almost all friends of mine,but whats wrong if people knew our salary package,unless you mind that you have something to share for them when you must be a helping hand.Ofcourse,please do not let friends knew when they are of the kind that they always trap you with some treaty treats..Thank God!I dont have such treaty friends.

[i]Hi subha, Yea with close friends we try to compare and the appreciate the benefits of their company or my company! But, I don't share to all, I mean to new friends, I will just give them an approximate amount when they asked but anyway, the common question we have is always asking the basic salaries![/i]

hello my friend, i am so glad to post the opinion to your response here again.I think it is better not to share the salary package with the friends,whatever the close ones or not.Because it is a secret to a company. and it should be kept safe and sealed.I hope if you tell your friends the rule of company, she will understand it.lol good luck to you

I used share and get good opinions also
