I did this once for an executive assistant. A few months after I was hired me and the assistant were talking and I told her how much I made because i was excited (it was a lot for me at the time). She mentioned she made like half the amount and had worked for 20 years for the company. I coached her on how to ask for a raise and showed her all the other people in the area making more than her and with that ammo she went and got a huuuuuuge raise. I was so happy for her.
Always talk about how much you make. The only reason it’s a taboo is because the owner class don’t want us to know how much everyone else makes because it’s easier to rip people off when they’re ignorant. Especially people who are mild mannered since they might not ask as many questions or fight back against pushback.
