Sounds like someone wants to get both goods of an issue. They wish to know your salary so that they can minimize the offer they give you. On the other hand, afterwards they firmly demand that you won't tell your colleagues what your salary is.
As long as I don't know what they pay to their employees (and thus have no reference point for negotiations) I certainly wouldn't give them my salary (and give them a nice reference point). It's an open negotiation situation, then. I have a hard limit below which I won't accept and some soft limit that I expect from the company. They have theirs. Then it's bracketing down until both are happy or the deal blows up.
- epynonymous 16y agothough compensation is not necessarily the main thing that retains an employee, it is important. for that matter, any good hr clown will know that a compensation satisfied* employee is going to be a longer term, happy employee. why try to stiff someone out of a few potential ten's of thousand just to make the books look better? noted that no one's really ever satisfied with their compensation, but the point being that it's not hanging over your head daily that the work you do is not commensurate with what they pay you relative to others.
