What causes me to hide my financial situation from my colleagues
Do you ever hide your income from others? You're embarrassed to talk to others. family financeBecause your income is too low? Or is it too high? And what is the problem, what kind of gags are such – why is it not customary to talk about money and can even harm?
Editorial "Site" I really don’t think such information is worth it. Not because someone is jealous. People can not only experience this emotion. These are people’s problems, aren’t they? What am I supposed to explain to these poor people?
Family finances. Okay. We have an interesting situation that claims to be classic. It has to do with finances and some kind of complex. A woman from a wealthy family works in a team that is experiencing not the best times. Who would have thought she would be embarrassed about it? Let's see what she writes.
“I work in a team that is not going through the best of times. Due to the quarantine, there is a wave of cuts, and in general, the company's revenues have fallen. But here's the thing: my husband makes a good living, I could not work at all, I just can't stay at home. My money will never hurt, I don’t want to ask him. That's a little female pride.
But communicating with colleagues is getting harder. They are under stress: then the salary will be cut, then they will ask someone to leave. Not good enough. I know what the mood is. I try not to stand out, dress simply, try not to talk about money at all. But it happens that the language itself manages to say something. I sit there and think, why would I say that?
GettyImages Sometimes I hear the chief discussed, and not always restrained in expressions. This is not a good thing because my husband is the boss. I hope they don't walk around like that. Shut up. In general, I understand that there is nothing to talk about. I would like to find an environment that is comfortable. But I see that “my” people are not found here.
In our opinion, the young lady tries to master both chairs immediately: she wants to be “his” in the team, but at the same time plans to remain the wife of the director. Yes, you want to like and feel in your place, but at the same time there are so many taboos and prohibitions that involuntarily the question arises: is it worth it? Although a woman tries to be on an equal footing with everyone, she still feels like a stranger.
It goes without saying that with such a status, discussing family finances in a team is absolutely unacceptable. And generally speaking about money. Not because there are plebeians, but here there is a lady. Size and income aside, it is obvious that different interests and goals have clashed. So why pretend?
One way or another, no normal person at work will talk about everything that happens in his life. You have to understand that there are boundaries here. The difference is not even in income. The most interesting thing is that this happens in every team, and perfect comfort is not possible anywhere. Therefore, to find your own people, you need to look for them in your environment. That would make sense.
