Colleagues knowing your pay

[Gamble2004]

Couldn't care less whether it was known or not.

Dont see how they could know for sure unless the write the contracts/do payroll.

I'm fairly sure our old PMO department could have deduced salary based on the rates held in our resource scheduling tool, if they could be bothered (baselining their own salary and then using ratios).

I think the issue (from an employee's perspective) with people knowing each other's salaries is that in organisations without a clearly defined pay structure it can lead to feelings of jealousy.

As for myself, although I don't tell anyone my salary I wouldn't be overly concerned if other people found out. I highly doubt anyone with the same job title (at my company) earns less than me anyway.

Wouldn't bother me. It's a job at the end of the day.
