one chance....

unless your salary is small...you can mistakenly say it if they are expecting too much from you becos u bought a 3rd hand end of discussion
never let anyone know how much you earn if you earn big...
they will help you calculate how much you should be able to give them every month..
how much you should be able to lend them.,...
if you give them 5k inside envelope for party...them go vex say your salary na 350k..


..never use the trafficator on the road, bad man go know your next move

Good morning all, please I need your suggestions concerning this topic....
The reason I'm asking is because I feel it should be personal due to my personal experience and I also find it annoying when someone not really close to me come up with the question "how much do you earn"......
Answer is NO, they should mind their own business!

Only a foolish person will ask someone how much do you earn, and only a senseless fellow will answer such question.

So I'm guessing you consider a potential employer foolish for asking what you currently make? Unnecessary pride and secrets have had many people rolling in mediocrity for generations!

This a silly question.
Re: Should Relatives, Friends Know The Exact Amount You Earn by abbey621(m): 4:12pm On Oct 27, 2021
Friends and family, no need but some exceptions apply to potential new employer, contracts and so on, even your padi can ask you such a question if he is venturing into the same field and wants to verify that he would get paid what he deserves.....

P.S. Hope you won't get upset when you woo a girl and her father asks you what you do for a living and how much you are paid grin grin grin grin

No one should know except your boss if you are employed and for self employ your accountant other than those 2 they will FK you one day.

No friends in dis world, they only stick around because they are benefiting at the moment.

Be wise.

Depends. I have had a positive situation where someone in the same company found out about disparity in salaries and that led to salaries being balanced in a positive way. Would I advise you to do this with people not in your company or on your level - No!! Be very careful with that information.

Would you keep quiet! Bad HR practice? Una go just dey type rubbish all in the name of yarning, I have probably hired over 30 different team members over the past 4 years and current salary allows us to have a good starting point for negotiations especially for well qualified candidates. We can't offer someone currently making $80,000 a year lesser money for the same job or higher position, it would most certainly be a deal breaker and besides all pay information can be verified easily for those of us overseas, it is only primitive nations like Nigeria where things are hidden or hard to get.

Your salary is not confidential. It is also not illegal in Nigeria to discuss your salary. If an employer to be asks you this question, you can tell them. It is not bad HR practice.
