Is talking about money in business taboo for you?

I’ve always wondered how different cultures, companies, or individuals approach financial transparency in business. Some stay silent, others overshare.

Here are some trends I’ve noticed:

• There tends to be the most transparency around MRR, or how much money has been raised (VC funding).

• And the least transparency when it comes to employee salaries.

• Americans are more likely to share prices (I slightly observed this behaviour in French and German people).

I understand what salary transparency in employees can trigger (jealousy, feelings of unfairness, and so on).

What’s your approach to money sharing? Can you share why you chose (not) to be transparent?

In my opinion, the team at @folk (Folk) had a very transparent process when it came to salaries.
