So why do some people like to inquire about other people's wages?
Is it pure curiosity or "ulterior motives"
Then listen to Bian Xiao and go with you.
Inquiring about other people's wages is generally divided into the following four situations.
- 1 -
Old employees "care" about new employees
When old employees take advantage of the opportunity to win over new employees, they pretend to ask casually. Use a gesture of "You are new to the company, don't be afraid, my sister came before you, and she will protect you a little" to make the newcomers feel very cordial. They are new here, and with such a warm little sister, they will naturally get close. We eat together and go to the bathroom together. ...
However, the plot turned sharply and said, "Sister, the basic salary of your new job must be much higher than that of us at that time. At that time, we didn't have much money, even 5,000 pounds. You must have at least 8000 now. How else can you afford the tuition for so many years? ! "Then I took a glance to see if my sister paper could answer the phone.
Skills of answering questions
Since the other party takes the initiative to familiarize you with the environment and give you some reminders and warmth in the case of "strangers", as a newcomer, you should have some polite replies, because no matter whether the other party is gossiping or not, you can't escape. When encountering this "trap", you can "pretend to be deaf and dumb" and give a salary range for the other party to guess. If the other party is entangled again, or in order to avoid the entanglement of the other party, you can also "strike first"!
"
For example, "Hey, I didn't really take much. When I pay the rent this month, there is basically nothing left. Life is hard! " Yes, sister, you have been there. You have been in the company for a long time, and your salary must have increased a lot. There must be 10k. If not, alas, there is really no end in sight! "
"
Or "hey, my salary is not up to my level, but as a newcomer, take your time." I'm less than 10k now. What about you, sister? "

Comparison between "Old Colleagues"
After staying in the company for a long time, there will naturally be so-called "old colleagues" who want to compare, see if the company is biased, if the company is doing something wrong, or want to know how the "performance" of competitors is better than mine. In fact, I often know that my colleagues take much more than you, and my heart will be even more uneasy and even unhappy. This can also happen when an old colleague is promoted or transferred to other positions.
The secret of compromise
We are old colleagues, and we all know each other's character and character. If the comparison is endless, you can simply "satisfy" him, say less and show your grievances at the same time.

The newcomer asked the "honest" elder.
The third way is for newcomers to ask questions, say hello to the "honest man" who speaks, and see if the company has "mistreated" itself at a lower price.
Practical work tips
If you meet a smart newcomer, ask an old man who is considered honest about his salary. As a senior, you can change the subject to show a polite refusal and a friendly reminder. After all, newcomers have just joined the job and talk about salary. It's really inappropriate to ask others about their salary now.
"
Therefore, as an old employee, I want to remind you: work hard first to avoid "disaster from your mouth".

Inquiries from future colleagues
This situation is also very common. Generally, they are ready to join the job, but they have not finished the interview and offer process, or have not fully discussed the salary. I hope I can get a more reasonable salary by asking similar positions in this industry or "future colleagues" of the company.
A hopeful reminder of the future
In fact, for such newcomers who are ready to join the job, before getting an offer or negotiating salary, if possible, they should try to find out the salary range of future positions, so as to avoid being unhappy and confused after joining the job, which will affect their work.
So, if you meet such people and ask about your salary, if possible, you should tell them the real range. Of course, you can give them your salary range as a reference when you join the company, which neither violates the company's salary confidentiality system, but also gives them a true answer.
Why don't most companies allow it?
What if employees spy on each other's wages?
After all, many people know that their salary is not as high as that of their new colleagues, and their psychology will be unbalanced. Whether you are silent or trying to solve it, you may be passive and will not affect your work efficiency!
In this case, if it is the employee's own problem, it needs to be adjusted by himself; If the salary of the enterprise is too unfair, you can give feedback to the leader or HR department. In fact, the company's salary treatment for different employees is a complex salary mechanism. In addition to the company's rigid standards, in order to attract and retain important talents, there will be times when we will "break the rules", so it is difficult for us employees to understand the reasons from a global perspective. What we can do is to know the market before joining the job, get a "good price" that matches our ability, then go to work responsibly, and try not to gossip about other people's wages after joining the job.
If you do really well, but your salary doesn't increase, then you can ask for a raise or leave the company, because this is not your problem, it is the company's problem.
If you don't make achievements and your salary doesn't go up, you are lucky not to be fired. Obviously, this is not the company's problem, but your problem.
