Watch: It’s your right to share your salary, not doing so could be holding you back.

At my last company, one day someone in accounting approached me at lunch and quietly told me I need to ask for a raise because I was way underpaid.

They gave me a number to shoot for.  It was about twice than what I had been making at the time.

So I went online, did some research, found some figures backing up my claim, put it all together and went to my boss.

I got what I asked for.

If it hadn’t been for that person in accounting telling me I was way underpaid, I’d have never known.  I went from barely scraping by to being able to have a savings account and getting all my debts paid thanks to them.

You should at least check sites like salary.com to start the process of seeing what you should be making.

Because this is crucially important

Except for the fact that 90% of the time you are under contract not to talk about your salary otherwise the company can sue you. Every job I’ve had I’ve had to sign that I won’t discuss my pay with other employees otherwise my employment is terminated and the company will take legal action. 

It’s actually illegal for companies to forbid wage discussion, they’re just counting on you not knowing your rights.

wow its a good thing companies always follow the law and never lie

hi yes hello my friend made me a DINO FOSSIL BIRTHDAY CAKE that I had to excavate and this is the greatest? thing? ever?

OKAY BUT LISTEN

She SCULTPED DINOSAUR SKELETONS and rocks out of fondant

(she even added texture and shading)

layered the cake into sediment deposits

and filled the top with cake “dirt” so @aegiskitty could excavate the skull with a brush.

This is next-level baking, people.

This friend is a true friend. Never let this one go.

She is a shining, pun-fueled light in this cruel and unforgiving world and I do not intend to.
