In the workplace, discussing salary is seen as a major taboo. A netizen shared that he inadvertently learned about his supervisor's salary and discovered a significant gap compared to his own, which ultimately led to his dissatisfaction and resignation. He is worried about how to evade questions about salary from colleagues in his new job and therefore posted for help on Dcard. Many netizens responded, suggesting that he could use confidentiality agreements, vague responses, or state that it's inconvenient to disclose such information. Experienced individuals pointed out that these approaches can help avoid unnecessary awkwardness.

In the workplace, discussing "salary" with colleagues is considered a taboo. A netizen shared his experience of accidentally discovering his supervisor's salary and realizing the significant gap compared to his own income, which made him feel dissatisfied, ultimately leading him to choose to resign. He also expressed concern about how colleagues in the new work environment might ask about salary and wondered how to respond. This post sparked lively discussions online.

The netizen posted in the Dcard work section, mentioning that his previous supervisor often assigned him troublesome tasks and pushed him to take responsibility when problems arose. One day, he unexpectedly found out about his supervisor's salary and discovered that not only did they receive a basic year-end bonus, but the boss also offered an additional bonus of up to two months' salary, which he felt was very unfair, leading him to decide to leave and look for a new job.

Although he has already found a new position, he still worries that similar situations may arise again in the new company and fears that colleagues might have different perceptions of him due to salary differences. Therefore, he asked netizens in his post: "What should I do if colleagues ask about salary?" Subsequently, many people shared their suggestions:

• "Tell them it's a confidentiality agreement, so I can't disclose it."
• "You can say 'I earn about the same as you,' usually they won't ask further."
• "I just directly respond with the minimum salary."
• "Just say it's not convenient to discuss; if they have questions, tell them to ask the boss."
