    That this seems unusual is a testament of how few people have served in the military. Everyone knows everyone else's salary because it's visible on your sleeve or collar. It also shows that fairness - even in the largest org. - works by having a max. ratiio from the lowest to the highest of 10x. (Highest General makes only 10x the lowest private.)

    I see pros and cons to this. I mean like you said, it helps you value yourself to your peers, but I'm not sure I'd want the general public knowing my salary. People treat you differently and expectations change when they know your financial situation. Not to mention it opens up bigger potential liabilities (people making more will probably be more likely to be targeted for fraud, to be robbed, etc.). Think this might be better if it was just data published internally instead of publicly.

    @Wendel Bolide 2 options 1. Go to school avoid going into any debt and do a side hustle to pay rent and living expenses. I would definitely keep renting the space your in if it's the cheapest you can get. Build your credit a bit while doing this so you'll have a good credit history even if you have to start off with a secured card and just spend a few bucks a month on it and pay it completely off every month 2. Get a full time job, establish credit history, keep a side hustle and save up as much money as you can. After this buy a property that you could rent out part of it even if it's not a duplex just something that will take a significant chunk out of the mortgage. Build your wealth and eventually buy a 2nd home rent out the first house and do this as many times as you can. Invest your extra money in a roth account and always live below your means. If you do all of this successfully you will be on a path few people in this country are on financial freedom and the freedom to not be tied down by a traditional job. Wealth is all about building assets and keeping liabilities as low as possible (debt, cars, loans, etc)

I only tip if I've had service by a server and waiter throughout the meal. I assume many people have a similar mentality

If you are an employee of a labor union (like myself) all salary information gets reported to the DOL. Which is then available for FOIA requests. Which then ends up on union-busting websites so they can try to show how overpaid union staffers are. You can find me here: www.unionfacts.com/local/employees/509111/SEIU/1199/ 2. If you are a member of a union, you are likely on a wage scale. Which means if someone knows your job title and seniority, they can easily look up your pay in the contract.

Did they even listen while watching? She is the Pastry Chef, which means she isn’t scooping for customers. She’s making good money, but it’s because of market there. Still, a shame, that teachers with a Masters, make less. But, it’s a different field, and the owner can pay more, by making changes to the business. Schools don’t do this, and public ones cut funding all the time, which is why teachers spend their own money on supplies so often.

    @@ooohspookyghost8400 I'm aware, but all forms of class have these features in common and have similar consequences in the work place (e.g. disparity in salaries. variable probability of being. ceteris paribus, hired or promoted). Also, different forms of class have an effect on one another. Being part of one type of class (race) can have an effect on your wealth and thus your economic class (although it would be more accurate to call it your decision making class). So it may be worthwhile to mention these commonalities, because people often fail to see the similarities between these types, and thus fail to properly define the problem. If one realizes that all of these civil conflicts (Gender conflict, racial conflict, immigrant vs native, economic conflict) are really all forms of class conflict, one may be able to find transferable solutions for each of these kinds of conflict.

    Right. I never understood the idea about keeping your salary amount a secret from other people.

    Most people want to keep their salary secret so that they can inflate their salary when applying for new jobs without having the potential employer find out. I could understand pay transparency, but now what is the guarantee that potential employers will not find out the candidate's salary?

    ridge mallett it’s too bad that Americans have an unfounded stigma against unions that are cause by decades of corporate propaganda which cause only 1/10 of Americans to actually be unionised. Sad.

    But is true. Statistically speaking POC and women tend to make less than white male counterpart. I remember reading a thread on twitter were a black woman stated how POC should discuss their pay with their coworker's. This conversation led to other viral retweet of female POC talking about how they discovered how much less they are paid compared to the person doing the same job as them. I remember one of the individual was a black woman and she found out she 20K less than her white male coworker doing the same job. Just cause you never experience this doesn't mean it does not exist.

    @@evano5635 What you fail to consider is the possibility that the black woman was hired not because of her talents and skills but because of some kind of "affirmative action" quotas. She might have been terrible at her job, which could have been the actual reason she was getting paid less. If you start setting everyone's pay based primarily on their skin color, that is just as weird and racist a thing to do as anything else.
