Hello everyone,

I am the only black person working in my work place in Asia. My salary is bigger than that of the locals due to my experience and educational value.

The locals are always want to know how much I earn as salary.

They are friendly, we don’t have issues as everyone minds their business/work.

I am comfortable with the salary. Should I reveal my salary to them?

It's not professional to disclose your salary to anyone.

Hello everyone,

Dont dare reveal. By the way if the insist you divide your salary into 2 and give them that figure. Otherwise dont as this will lead to jealousy and hatred towards you.

I have an interesting way of answering this nature of curiosity.

I'd go like: Do you really want to know how much I earn? I am truly interested in your curiousity and would like to know why you want to know. (With a huge smile on your face and nodding while saying it)

Baba, no make that mistake, ever. Not even when you earn higher.

No.. you might think they are your friends now, until they know you earn more and then they'll start hating. Keep that part of your life private.

This answers your question man!

You probably have a easily trusting nature. It would get you in haut soup one of these days. Kontinue. I can't even fully trust my guardian angel much less anybody else.

Can't fathom the sense in your last statement.

don't reveal it it will be so risky see reason you should use these business software and tools https://explicitsuccess.com/business-tools-software/

Re: Should I Reveal My Salary Status? by 1kinggy(m): 10:45am On Jun 11, 2019

Please don't try it. Salaries are confidential.

If they really want to know, they should talk to their people in HR/payroll.

SOMETHING TELLS ME HE HAD ALREADY LET THEM KNOW HIS SALARY BUT HE JUST WANTS TO KNOW THE IMPLICATIONS.... ALL I CAN SAY IS EYAAAAAAA!!!

Really? I was going to add, "you must chop gari and water where they can see you from now on", to my initial advice but I guess there's no point if you were just trying to find out implications.

Can someone tell op what the weather is in Naija and the price of gari too!

Back in the days when I worked in Saudi Arabia 13yrs ago, i noticed that it was the habit Asians to ask other people their salary even a cleaner in the company, once they find an opportunity to gist with you and they become free with you the next thing"how much is your salary?".
You enter a taxi, after the usual greatings and asking which country you are from, they move on to asking you your salary.
It was always embarrassing for a total strangee or even an fellow employee of lower cader to asking such personal.
Out of not wanting to sound rude, I would politely say " I don't discuss my salary with anybody" and they withdraws immediately.
So, guy, NEVER EVER TELL THEM YOUR SALARY, Else they start to envy you.

Please never disclose your salary to them because it may lead to envy and hatred, and I bet you know what does two words can begot?
You can politely and respectfully tell them that although you guys are friends and have a cordial working relationship but your salary/earnings are your privacy and that you choose not to disclose it. Period.

A very good advice

Your village people are finally getting closer to your destiny.

Asians are crafty and sneaky. You should know better. The seemingly harmless question is a Trojan horse.
