It pains me to see that people can't apply common sense without law anymore.
If a potential employer asks about my previous salary, I refuse to answer. Similarly, it never even occured to me to hide my salary from my coworkers regardless of what my employer asked me to do.
Needless to say, if any employer has a problem with that, I definitely don't want to spend 8+ hours of my day with them.
- danielweber 10y agoRight now, it is an applicant's ballgame, because our skills are highly valued. What happens if that is no longer the situation?
- barnacs 10y agoI'll try to keep my response short. Ideally, everyone should be working for something they actually believe in and everyone should work with people whose skillset is valuable to achieve their common goal. If there is no mutual respect and at least a minimum level of decency and each party of the employment contract is just chasing their own gains then we end up in this sad situation where laws are needed to lay out and enforce the rules of even basic human interaction. That's why it pains me to see this.
