I was surprised to be accused of being unprofessional because I shared my hourly rate with a few colleagues who have the same role as me. For context, whatever grade I receive in my review directly affects my % increase in salary. Those colleagues didnt have to same advantages as me so they complained. So I defended myself by saying that my contract doesnt stipulates that my work conditions are confidential. They agreed to change their final grade. The only person that benefits from you not talking about your pay to your colleagues is your boss…
