This taboo about salaries seems only to exist in places with big salary disparities, and/or where salaries are closely tied with self-worth.
In Russia, for example, “how much do you make” is a question as common and unusual as “What city are you from?”
- buybackoff 7y agoYes, in Russia many impolite people tend to ask that, but the usual response it "just enough" or something vague. Maybe factory workers share that easily, but in high salary circles it is also a taboo. Maybe because it's so much above country-wide average that one had better be silent about that. Lived in the country until last year.
