Comment on Not mocking cobol devs but yall are severely underpaid for keeping fintech alive

I’d understanding actively pressuring someone to share their salary being a faux-pas. Admittedly, just sharing your own may make some people feel pressured to share theirs out of reciprocity, but just sharing your own salary generates nowhere near the same amount of pressure as outright telling someone “share your salary or you’re a bad person on the side of The Man!”
I hope the amount of people sharing their salary increases and talking about it becomes normalized.
