But when colleagues chat together after dinner, it is inevitable to talk about salary.
Everyone in the workplace wants to know other people's wages, but they don't want others to know their own wages.
If a colleague asks you about your salary, what should you answer?
Before talking about how to answer, we must first understand a hidden rule in the workplace:
Don't ask about other people's salary.
When you join the company, HR will remind you not to talk about salary casually;
Some companies will expressly stipulate:
Employees are not allowed to talk about wages.
Once found out, you may even be fired.
I once saw a leader say to employees:
"Your salary depends on your ability"
So in the workplace, don't ask what you shouldn't ask and don't say what you shouldn't say.
Next, let's say:
If someone asks you what your salary is, what is the most appropriate answer?

Take and stop the arrow
If it is a white girl who has just entered the workplace, it is really difficult to refuse and will not prevaricate-
You can take the company system as an example, that is, the company system is not allowed to say.
The general company will have this stipulation of salary secrecy, even if it is not expressly stipulated.
Because no matter where, salary is sensitive information in the workplace.
The reason why many people ask about other people's wages is nothing more than to have a reference to measure whether they have reached the wage level;
The other is to satisfy your curiosity and keep up with the joneses.
When someone asks about his salary, all we have to do is change the subject, politely refuse and kindly remind:
Do things in a down-to-earth manner and avoid "disaster comes from the mouth".

Inverse problem method
When colleagues ask you how much money you earn a month, you can answer like this:
"Just like others. How much are you? "
You throw the question to him and let him answer it.
If he doesn't answer, then the topic is over;
If he answers, you can say a similar number according to what he said.
This is a good way to avoid this problem.
Don't foolishly tell your real salary after asking questions.
Because in the workplace, salary issues are generally taboo and obscure.
If he asks about your salary, it's hard to say what he thinks of you.
Maybe he is jealous that your salary is higher than his;
Why is the job that obviously looks the same lower than yours? He may ask his boss for a theory.
If the boss knows, he will think that you are easy to cause trouble and have low ability.
But if you use rhetorical questions, you will get the initiative back, and even the boss will praise you.
03
Learn to change the subject
Generally, although no one knows.
But according to the company's salary distribution system, you can estimate whether a person's salary is above or below you through his ability.
That's almost a salary range lower than him.
The other party is generally embarrassed to continue asking.
If you don't know each other's salary range, try to change the subject and say something else.
The last time Xiao Liu from our office saw me was in the teahouse, and he returned the money I lent him yesterday for emergency use.
Then tell me that my salary is always not enough;
Ask me how much I earn every month. I feel that I have money every time I lend it.
Of course, I dare not tell him how much salary I have, just saying:
I'm poor, too, but I happened to be a little poor when you borrowed it. How much is your monthly rent?
There are many people in the teahouse, so it's best not to touch these topics.
Avoiding talking about wages is not only a means to protect yourself, but also a means to protect others.
Because if the person who asks you knows that your salary is higher than his, he may get angry and distort his behavior.
Finally, let's take a look:
What is the significance of wage secrecy to the company, and why should the wage secrecy system be implemented?

The role of salary secrecy
First, resolve internal contradictions.
The most obvious function of wage secrecy system is to solve internal contradictions.
In management, there is a saying:
Employees are depressed and feel that they have made great contributions to the company.
I feel that the company's achievements today have a lot to do with themselves, but they all ignore their own values.
In this case, you will overestimate your position in the company;
The resulting trouble is:
Every employee will feel that his salary should be higher than that of other employees in the same position.
The salary of employees is agreed with the top management of the company when they join the company, which has a great relationship with the eloquence of employees at that time and the accuracy of top management's choice.
After implementing the wage secrecy system, employees can be prevented from doing the same job;
The same performance; Internal contradictions caused by different salaries in the same position, negative emotions of employees.
It can also effectively prevent the salary comparison mentality among employees.
Second, it is convenient for the company to manage employees.
Employees have a salary orientation in their hearts, which is the passing line of their salary satisfaction.
When the company manager tells employees that the salary level is above his position, employees will increase their salary satisfaction.
For example, employees feel that their wages should be at the middle level of so many people;
The manager told him that you were paid an upper-middle salary.
Employees will feel that they are motivated, their ability and salary are in the middle and upper reaches, and they will continue to work hard.
When employees are satisfied with their salaries, the company will be easy to manage.
Third: the protection of employees themselves.
This protection is mainly aimed at two types of people,
One is the low-income people in the company.
Under the traditional concept that salary is proof of strength, salary income shows the ability of this person.
If everyone's salary is made public, it will cause unnecessary negative emotions to employees with low income or low performance.
The second is the company's high-paying talents.
For employees in the same position, others' wages are much higher than their own, which will cause employees with low incomes to be in a great mood.
All in all, don't compare with others in the workplace, and don't ask about salary;
If you are not satisfied with your current salary, you can apply for a raise.
But the premise of these is to do your job well.
As long as the ability is enough, salary is not a problem.
