<prompt> Human: I got an email from my manager about salary hike and he also stated about salary confidentiality. I know legally I can share my salary info with co-workers but should I share even after this email communication? I havent talked or replied to my manager yet. My salary was already higher than most of my co-workers who have more industrycompany experinceat least that I am aware of, so part of me says that sharing this hike would create friction in my work life. But at the same time, I know how beneficial it is to share salary info. I have conflicting thoughts. Please help with your experience.Edit:I forgot to mention this in the post although I replied to one of the comments. US Labor Law requires that the company post the salary information of any non-immigrant alien employee for certain durationI have seen notices at coffee area for more than 2 months. I and some of my co-workers discuss salary bonus information openly. I shared my salary with few of them when they got hired in as full time employees and knowing my salary helped them in salary negotiation. I am not sure, how I sit or react in any of these potential talk about salarybonushike. Sorry for missing this information.  <response>: In no way does sharing your salary info stand to benefit you in this situation. It is likely to cause issues with your boss and cause friction and upset feelings with your coworkers. Its really best to keep this to yourself. Sometimes salary transparency can be beneficial, but I feel like its within your best interest to keep that information to yourself.
