Useless fact # 3

This post is only half-kidding and may represent an underlying problem in the Indian IT sector.

Useless fact # 3:

If I mention my gross income salary, perks et al to every Tom, Dick and Harry, I MUST be an Indian IT professional.

Proof: Look around you.

QED.

Useless facts 1, 2 are here.

  • arch: salary and other remuneration are private information, which is not any one else's business. predominantly in the IT sector in India, it is very common to hear people mentioning their salaries.
    as I said, it is a useless fact, but a fact nonetheless.

  • "Men shouldn't reveal the salary and Ladies shouldn't reveal the age"

    I believe, this sayings are not followed very strictly nowadays.

  • Narayanan: Maybe thalaivar's dialog in baasha is true. "china kaaran soodhadalaina sethu poiduvaan... england kaaran pughazndhu pesalaina sethu poiduvaan.. indian pesalaina sethupoiduvaan".. "NALLA PESARINGA".. "indian aache!". Maybe we just dont know when to keep things to ourselves.

  • Do they? I thought they get "Americanized" in that aspect when they come over here and even back home, it is the relatives who keep enquiring about it and parroting it :-)

  • I get annoyed whe people ask about salary (old habits die hard). I get even more upset when they try to convert this into INR (it really doesn't make any sense).

  • Kaps: I agree. That is even more annoying. Particularly when the US dollar is getting smashed left and right against Rs!.

    Thanks for visiting!
