英語聽力原文：

We all know employees talk, and things can never remain totally confidential, he says. But an outright exchange of salary details probably isn't the best idea.

我們都知道員工在聊天的時(shí)候，任何事情都不會永遠(yuǎn)是秘密。但是，討論工資細(xì)節(jié)可能不是個(gè)好主意。

Keep It Secret, Keep It Safe

保守秘密，保持安全

When companies have different employees on the same job and one of them is paid differently, many unfairness issues surface. "It can happen in any 'open shop' that differentiates pay for any reason (seniority, performance, etc.)," says Dauphinais. You could run the risk of alienating valued colleagues if they learn you earn more for what they perceive to be the same job.

公司雇傭不同的人員從事同一崗位的工作時(shí)，如果其中有個(gè)人的薪資不同時(shí)，很多不公平的問題就會浮出水面。多菲奈斯說：“這種情況在任何開放行業(yè)都有可能發(fā)生，因?yàn)椴煌脑?資歷、表現(xiàn)等)員工的薪酬不同”。如果你讓同事知道你們在做相同的工作，而你的工資比他們高，那么你就可能會被你很重視的同事疏遠(yuǎn)。

Democracy Doesn't Always Work at Work

在職場上，民主并非總是有用

There are organizations that openly share compensation information around the office. However, warns Dauphinais, "Unless all similar jobs pay the same rate, I would advise that open salary concepts don't work well."

有的公司在辦公室公開薪酬方面的信息。然而，多菲奈斯警告說：“除非所有相似的工作薪酬相同，否則我的建議是公開薪資內(nèi)容起不到很好的作用。”

The confidential nature of your salary, in fact, can be a greater benefit to you. "It creats an oppportunity for a manager to have a confidential discussion with employees as to why they are being paid what they are - and how they can work toward making more money," he says. "Each employee can then move forward with confidence that they have 'bonded' with their supervisor on their individual issues - good and bad - without involving others in the process."

實(shí)際上，保持你薪資的機(jī)密性會給你帶來更大的利益。“它給經(jīng)理帶來了和員工密談的機(jī)會，討論他們?yōu)槭裁磿幱谀壳暗墓べY水平，以及該如何努力得到更高的工資，”他還說：“每個(gè)員工都可以信心滿滿地前進(jìn)，因?yàn)樗蜕纤疽黄鹛接懥俗约旱膫€(gè)人事情，不管這些是好事還是壞事，在這個(gè)過程中都沒有其他人的參與。”

Don't Let Under-Compensation Undermine You

不要讓低薪資毀了你

If you learn that someone who holds a similar position earns a bigger paycheck, don't panic. First, do some due diligence to determine if you are being underpaid in general. Use the internet salary calculator, and also reach out to your out-of-office network to find out how people at other companies are being compensated.

如果你知道了在同一職位的人所得的工資比你高，也不要擔(dān)心。首先，做一些調(diào)查，看看你的薪資是否真的偏低。利用網(wǎng)絡(luò)薪資計(jì)算工具，或者問問你同事以外的朋友，看看別的公司類似崗位的薪資如何。

Next, says Dauphinais, "I would go to my boss and ask the reasons why." Open a rational dialogue to understand what skills or experience you'll need to improve your performance - and earn more recognition and financial rewards.

多菲奈斯說：“接下來，我會去找上司問明原因。”展開一段合理的對話來弄明白要提高你的工作需要什么樣的技巧和經(jīng)驗(yàn)，從而得到更多的賞識和薪酬。

短語：

due diligence 盡職調(diào)查

sham diligence 假裝勤奮

諺語：

Diligence is the mother of success. [諺語]勤奮乃成功之母。
