So I recently, like just this week, started a job as a bookkeeper of small company of about 13 employees. As I was trying to clean up the details of some payroll stuff between now and their last bookkeeper, I openly mentioned his and our owners pay. He quickly silenced it and said it's fine I know what everybody is making because of the nature of my position, but I need to keep quit. Poor dude is from France was probably told to keep wages on the DL from some old ass boomer.
