Mind Your Business
Pay secrecy is not a rule. It is a habit, and it is one that costs the people who keep it far more than the people who benefit from it.
What we covered
- What the law actually protects when employees discuss pay
- Why the range in the job post is not the range in the budget

- What changes in a workplace the week one person says a number out loud
