it's def taboo and these responses are evidence of as much

it's still stupid and shitty we can't frankly talk about money, income, credit scores, debt, sex, or a number of other key aspects of this life

Of all the polacks I've met, only 3 have not been racist. You racist cichy?

It's not really that polish people are that racist they just don't like outsiders. It's not the American type of racism where some people they smarter and genetically superior to everyone else

Discussing pay with colleagues with same job descriptions/titles to see if you or them are getting hosed on salary is fine. That doesn't mean you go flaunting it to the interns or staff whose job functions have nothing to do with your career.

Lucky for me, I'm in a government job and under a union, so everyone with the same title as me is in the same salary range (raises are merit based and are no longer given once you reach the cap for your position) so Joe Blow IT guy at public works doesn't have to worry about if he's underpaid versus IT Sally at the auditors office.

Unlucky for me, just like with D44k, if you know my full name and what county agency I work for, you can see my full pre-tax pay along with benefits and pension.

Personally I'm cool with the public knowing what government positions make. I.E I'm a cloud engineer, if the public knew a cloud engineer was working where I work making x amount of money I'd be cool with that. I don't understand why they specifically need to know it's me though

In a government setting your coworkers are generally aware of what your GS is. It’s when they start asking about your step and other more specific shit is where I draw the line.

That's more xenophobia than racism

All of you responding about your government/public pay scale are obviously not the people were talking about here lol. Clearly were talking about the private sector.

Talking about coworking peers where the colored man makes less than the white man, and the woman makes even less than that, and everyone is doing the same work.

Tea and the pearl clutches are hilarious.

If you look at BLS reports the biggest pay discrepancies by the standards you're talking about are in government jobs. The private sector is actually a lot better than you'd think. Women generally around 96% of men's pay in like jobs, Asians more than white men, African Americans less than white men but it's 2-3% in every category last I looked (haven't looked during trump presidency)

after you go through WWII occupation, 50 years of communism, and 20% unemployment until recent years you give zero fucks about labels
Poland was also never a colonial power so we have zero white guilt

Must be different in Poland, because damn near every single one I've ever met outside of it has been racist. I remember one literally would not shake my hand.

[D44kpunk]

I used to think this black woman I worked with was racist because she wouldn't shake my hand one time and it was awkward.

Turns out she was just a germaphobe. As a pretty clean dude I totally get it. Hands and hand to face is the #1 way germs spread. Stop touching things and touching your face everybody

Won't catch my black ass in Belarus either. Most of Eastern Europe is a no go, though Romania and Moldova are alright.

Listen, the dude was fresh off the boat and plasterd confederate stickers on everything, like he knew anything about "northern aggression." The rest of his mates were the same.

He shook every white person's hand.
