Why don't you tell us how much you make?

People get killed in some places for $100. $1000 is enough to kidnapped in some places. Besides if people know how much you make, you will get custom pricing. Do you know there are countries that have 2 menus, one for foreigners and one for locals? Because they foreigners make much money so are charged higher prices?

Well it's a good thing that this article talks about sharing salary info between colleagues, and makes no arguments for "telling the world" other than in the clickbaity title.

That's why it ends with a question mark, so that it makes the title not-technically-incorrect (author is "just asking a question"), while driving the engagements that have nothing to do with its content.

It's very nice that they keep special menus written in English. Well wroth the extra cost, which is cheaper than eating out in LA anyway.
