How many people know how much money you make?
Up until this post...only my accountant knew...and that's because he does my taxes. Not even my Mom was privy to this information! I haven't shared this information with my family, girlfriend, or friends.
Like many others, I've been trained (at work & home) to believe that this information should NEVER be shared.
1) Work: We are often encouraged to not share our job level as well as our compensation packages. Sharing this information would likely force companies to pay equal wages (across the same roles & levels). This behavior doesn't help individuals though. Employees are often lowballed and accept for offers well below what their counterparts were offered.
2) Home: I was told that it will create jealousy, envy, among other emotions. I was warned people will aim to take advantage of my situation. These situations are real and happen often. That said, I'm ready for the pocket watchers.
With #LatinaEqualPayDay being last week, I couldn't help to think about how this secrecy impacts the discrepancy in wages. Imagine the power of going into salary negotiations for a role...and you already know how much someone on that team makes.
Transparency is how I'm helping to close the gap.
