'If you shared with your colleagues, were you afraid they received more than you? If you received less, did you regret sharing?' he asked further

SINGAPORE: An employee recently sparked a lively discussion on Reddit by asking a thought-provoking question: “Do you share the details of your salary increments and bonuses with your colleagues?”

However, they argued that they did it in “good faith,” claiming that exchanging this information was their way of knowing if they were being “shortchanged.” Another Redditor shared, “I know a guy who get paid S$300 less than his colleagues, doing absolute same thing, and then he found out on his work contract increment is once every year, and his colleagues that joined later with updated employment contracts, increment is twice a year.

These individuals could be close friends, colleagues from different departments, or colleagues open to sharing their own pay. One Redditor shared his first-hand experience, writing, “End up everyone is not happy at work because somehow they think they have been shortchanged and you are overpaid. This is especially so if both of you are at the same level/doing same work.
