职场英语：员工薪资是保密还是公开？

Psst...This Is What Your Co-Worker Is Paid

Office workers have grown accustomed to knowing the intimate details of each other's lives─from a colleague's favorite cat video to a boss's vacation fiasco.

从同事最喜欢的猫咪视频到老板假期泡汤，办公室职员已经习惯于打探每个人的私生活细节。

Now a small but growing number of private-sector firms are letting employees in on closely held company secrets: revealing details of company financials, staff performance reviews, even individual pay─and in doing so, walking a tightrope between information and TMI, or too much information.

现在，有些私营公司开始向员工公开通常属于保密的公司信息：比如公布公司具体的财务状况和员工绩效考核，甚至每个人的薪水。采取这种方式的公司虽然不多，但却在呈增长趋势。这种做法需要拿捏好分寸，否则一不小心就会透露过多信息。

The warts-and-all approach, most often found in startups, builds trust among workers and makes employees more aware of how their particular contribution affects the company as a whole, advocates say.

支持者表示，这种方式在初创企业中最常见，虽然有弊端，但是可以建立员工之间的信任，并让员工们更多地了解到自己对公司的贡献。
