WSJ Your Money Briefing · Introducing ‘As We Work’ · 19 Mar 2022 podcast

She shared her salary on Twitter as she was leaving her job as a senior reporter at The Points Guy, a travel website.

Welcome.

Thank you for having me.

So let's pull up the tweet and I'd like you to read it for us.

So that tweet got tens of thousands of likes within 24 hours.

Definitely qualifying as viral.

So let me ask you, first of all, it used to be taboo to talk about your salary.

And in some companies, it was expressly forbidden.

And here you are putting it on Twitter for the world to see, essentially opening up this Pandora's box of pay transparency.

Can you talk us through the thought process prior to hitting tweet?

You clearly did not expect this to take off.

In fact, one of your follow-up tweets said basically, hey folks, I have nothing to promote and here's a photo of my cute dog.

But let's talk a little bit about the reaction and how it kind of mirrors the arguments over pay transparency.

Right.

So Twitter threads can really run the gamut when it comes to support.

You definitely got some very negative reactions, really to the very idea of disclosing this kind of information.

Can you tell us about some of those?

Oh, geez.

And there were certainly people who agreed with you on that.

It wasn't all negative.
