I’d have gone with “an Argentinian why they have a German surname” personally
or “A German why their grandpa moved to Argentina”
“is from Argentina” sounds like they moved the other way around.
That’s exactly the point. When the Nazis fled to Argentina, they changed identities and claimed they had been living in Argentina all their lives.
Yeah, that makes was more sense.
In the US, discussing salary with coworkers is protected speech. It helps people find out if they are being underpaid or unfairly discriminated against. I always share my salary information when asked and I think it’s important to do so.
My salary is not indicative of my net worth. I could have a 7 figure salary and be drowning in debt, or make 75K and be doing fairly well because of responsible choices.
I dislike the stigma of discussing salaries, and believe that it’s propagated by companies to dissuade workers from getting fair salaries.
This needs to be a copypasta that’s made every time this meme format pops up.
In Sweden it’s stigmatized because of “jantelagen” (a set of written unwritten social rules, basically, don’t think you’re better than anyone else and don’t boast). For example I’ve got a high paying job as a software developer, so talking to my unioned electrician friend who makes significantly less about their $120 salary bumps is kind of awkward. If he found out how much I make I’m pretty sure there’s a chance he’d do talking to me for a while.
But I’d like to say I’m staying humble still. I was about to study to be an electrician when I got a message on LinkedIn which landed me my job as a developer.
I’m also not above admitting that we make too damn much compared to our peers who do jobs which actually contribute to society (teachers like my wife or electricians like my friend). But I’m gonna ride the wave, try to max my salary, and try to encourage our son to not discard jobs like electricians, carpentery, etc.
we make too damn much compared to our peers
Its not that devs make too much, everyone else makes too damn little, as compared to CEOs and shareholders…
Very true.
I had to try hard (not in terms of actual work, because that’s not what makes others pay you) to get enough of a hike, that increasing milk prices would not make me unable to buy it.

Linkedin has never given me any good connections. I’ve had my account for years and post from time to time. Looking for jobs on them. Just tryna get an entry level job but haven’t heard anything from anyone.
Salaries should be openly available information. The revolution would come so fast.
