Watch: Itโs your right to share your salary, not doing so could be holding you back.
At my last company, one day someone in accounting approached me at lunch and quietly told me I need to ask for a raise because I was way underpaid.
They gave me a number to shoot for. ย It was about twice than what I had been making at the time.
So I went online, did some research, found some figures backing up my claim, put it all together and went to my boss.
I got what I asked for.
If it hadnโt been for that person in accounting telling me I was way underpaid, Iโd have never known. ย I went from barely scraping by to being able to have a savings account and getting all my debts paid thanks to them.
You should at least check sites like salary.comย to start the process of seeing what you should be making.
Because this is crucially important
Except for the fact that 90% of the time you are under contract not to talk about your salary otherwise the company can sue you. Every job Iโve had Iโve had to sign that I wonโt discuss my pay with other employees otherwise my employment is terminated and the company will take legal action.ย
Itโs actually illegal for companies to forbid wage discussion, theyโre just counting on you not knowing your rights.
Important
Fuck.
If you scrolled right past this - GO THE FUCK BACK UP - this is a huge PSA
jfc Iโll be having some words with some folks
