In the workplace, discussing salaries is a taboo. A netizen, who accidentally discovered a significant pay gap between himself and his supervisor, felt dissatisfied and ultimately chose to resign. Concerned that his new job might face the same issue, he posted online asking how to avoid colleagues' inquiries about salary. Many netizens shared their experiences, suggesting to honestly explain confidentiality agreements, indicate that salaries are roughly the same, or simply provide the minimum salary to defuse the awkwardness.

In the workplace, discussing "salary" with colleagues is considered a significant taboo. A certain netizen shared his experience, revealing that after unexpectedly learning about his supervisor's salary, he discovered a considerable gap compared to his own salary, which led to feelings of dissatisfaction and ultimately deciding to resign. However, he was also concerned about the new work environment, especially regarding how to avoid the topic if colleagues inquire about salaries.

This netizen posted on a work forum asking, "How should I avoid questions about salary from colleagues?" He mentioned that in his previous job, his supervisor often assigned him difficult tasks and would also pass the blame onto him if anything went wrong. One day, he accidentally found out his supervisor's salary, which not only included a basic year-end bonus but also an additional red envelope equivalent to two months' salary. This made him feel quite unbalanced, so he chose to resign and look for a new job.

Although he has found a new job, he still worries about the same situation happening again and fears that colleagues may change their perception of him due to salary differences. Therefore, he sought advice from netizens, asking, "How should I avoid questions about salary from colleagues?" Many experienced individuals responded with suggestions like "You can say it's a confidentiality agreement and it's inconvenient to disclose," "You can reply 'about the same as you,' and usually, they won't ask again," "I would directly state the minimum wage," or "Just express that it's inconvenient to disclose, or suggest they ask the boss."
