Thank you for making emphasis on married

Because some mumu boys will tell their girlfriend their salary and be wondering why they are billing with so much audacity

Na serious stupidity dey worry them! Some even give the ladies full access to their accounts!

This can never be LOVE... This is too much SIMPlicity! undecided

I don t tell any mutherfucker my salary even my girlfriend does not know how much i earn not to talk of my friends cos it belittle my worth and also some might inflate their own and spread the news in order to rubbish your worth and u may look stupid to them cos they will make people know that the reason you leave home every day is because of that amount. And again, ur salary should be your heaviest secret and privacy.

You can't be in a team and be paid more than others when you are not a leader, and there is possibility you are doing less work, it's like one of the managers is related to you, and that is bad management and can kill the organisation.

Telling your colleagues about your salary is a far lesser evil than telling your family members (even your parents & blood relatives). Them go use billing kill your life. I once made that foolish mistake of revealing my salary to my family (all in the name of sharing testimony), throughout that year, my life didn't remain the same. Despite giving them monthly allowance, they will still find ways to exploit me of the rest. Since then, I come get sense. Now, they don't bother to call me for anything other than their monthly allowance unless of course they want to waste their credit. cheesy cheesy


LMAO 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

My siblings know my salary.

I have a very dear friend who always knows my salary,
from my first job ever till date .

Hasn't ever changed a thing.

I should count myself lucky, then.

Why would you be earning more that your colleagues that probably has more experience than you? And if it's the same position shouldn't the salary be equal?

OkwuMajesty:
There are two reasons why they don’t tell their salaries:

In general case, if you tell your salary to your co-workers or friends, they can develop two kinds of feelings:

Feeling of Jealousy, or

Feeling of Competition.

Either of which can turn bad against you. You may notice change in their behaviour. In many cases, your co-worker having more experienced than you (getting less salary) can start judging your skills w.r.t. themselves.

In worst cases, they can start questioning your credibility for the position you work or even start tarnishing your image.

Some people feel bad about themselves after knowing your salary and in many cases they try to find ways to increase their salaries too, either by switching or using your salary reference to get hike.

Managers often get to hear these during hikes, “If he (teammate) gets that much, why I cant get more having more experience”. Teammates can develop a feeling that you should be doing more work as you are paid more.

People start judging your lifestyle based on your salary. They never care about your liabilities.

You can become a bank for some of your friends. You may have to lend money every month. The moment you stop lending money, your friends will start calculating your monthly expenditure and begin assuming that you might be having money but you don't want to lend. This will develop negativity.

What do you think?

That one is even good

Pls whatever you do

Never tell a woman your Real salary

Women Don't love

They respect

Once she knows your full worth and weighs it

You lose respect

Remain mysterious about your finances with a woman no matter how love enter your eyes
Re: Reasons Why I Don't Tell People My Salary by MarrisManah(m): 3:18pm On Jul 10, 2023
You only talked based on one scenario: the person telling is assumed to earn more. What of the case when the person telling, earn less...? What becomes the reaction of the person that was told? Pity? Superior? Indifferent? Anyone's guess.

The day I told my siblings my salary will always be the day a made one of the biggest mistake of my life.

On a weekly basis both the elders and the younger ones are always taxing me.

I have been "assisting " in paying their house rent,children school fees and other emergency bills since 2019...

The worst is I don't even have the heart to say no to them.
