Deicide:
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?

It’s not always like that o. In the corporate world it’s about your negotiation skill and experience. I have colleagues that do more work than me but I earn more because of my experience and negotiation skills.

Na entry level and interns work pass sef. But experience is always superior.

Na government work Dey pay based on level.

This is not about entitlement. Did you just learn the word?

Op... Your finance should solely be the business of you and your account officer, followed by your spouse (if you are married)! Even Achraf Hakimi knew better than share this with his better half and for clearly good reason!

I am one of the few Nigerians whose financial status will never be blown open for any reason!

Succeed in secret... The only things outsiders should see are your hard work and sweat!


This is why every young man and woman ought to read "48 Laws of Power" by Robert Greene!

People need to avoid that book. Like the author says 'No law in the book is an absolute fact and can change anytime.' that book just teaches ppl how to manipulate gullible and naive ppl (making the manipulators think they're macho when they're Barbie in a skirt on play grounds with the real bosses)

Is it his fault that anybody is paid less? After all, you also came to this place the same way I came and you were told your salary, didn't you agree? Now I didn't agree and it was increased, if you later know about my salary increases how should you be pained, you accepted it nauuu. I have worked in a place before where I was working more than I was paid coupled with my salary not paid on time. Funnily enough the person who didn't work up to what I did is getting paid without delay in the salary, I knew all this and didn't bulge, I just continued working, the manager later called me and explained while it was so even without me asking.

In conclusion, even if it was me, I won't do anything, salary is based in agreement.

MarrisManah:
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.

Lol I can relate. I remember seeking the opinion of a friend about some new equipment we wanted to get for the office. Instead of this person to tell me what they thought, they started comparing the amount we were going to spend.

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.

There is no infallible book written by man... None!

The book is highly resourceful, and the lessons there are invaluable in life and business!

No be lie

Stevosty:
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.

@ your whole post especially the bold:

You clearly have no idea what you are talking about.

You really handled him with wisdom.

When I first move in to Lagos, I had to share an apartment with a friend, when d guy discovered I was earning more than him, his attitude change to the extent I felt like would go juju on me.
he told me openly from a minor misunderstanding that I did something for money
Nah so I just move out leave the house for am
Don’t ever let anyone know how much u earn, live your life on the low…. Too many wicked souls out there

Exactly what am passing through right now, Immediately my colleagues get to know how much am earning, jealousy starts besides he's not even a graduate ooo comparing himself with a petroleum engineer (PTI)... Dis life no balance ooo even telling me that he starts the job before me and so fucking does what?!

EriMma1:
I disclose my salary and I don't care. Who wan die make e die. Who wan compete, for your pocket; you're not feeding me., so I care less whether you're earning higher as long as I'm satisfied and contented with mine.

By the way, I've experienced that a lot where after disclosing my income, their expectations of me became high and they began to expect me to live a certain lifestyle to the extent someone said I'm supposed to go rent an apartment in lekki that I'm here dragging mainland with them. She dey use am yab me but I just ignored and avoided her. Though I wasn't the one who disclosed my income to this monkey of a woman..she just sized me up with the level wey I dey pull come deduce say e be like say I hole small change o. Na so beefing start.

In all, I don kia!

Same with me, anyone can know mine and even anybody mumu ask me, I dey tell the person to the lowest decimal, I have never cared about the implications, if person bill me and I no get, I go say, if you start competition with me, na your cup of tea, and I don't care about other people's earning.

Na to manage myself, be okay and continue hustling smartly me dey focus on now.

A Colleague in the UK noticed that I received little bit more than him, he took the mater up UNTIL THEY ADJUSTED HIS salary.ENVY AND BAD BELLY will set in so dont tell people what you earn

What happens if your salary is smaller than theirs when you tell them? Cos your scenarios were all when you earned more
