This is Help Launton, the show that tackles all the big work questions you cannot ask anyone else.

I'm Jason Pfeiffer, Editor-in-Chief of Entrepreneur Magazine.

And I'm New York Times' bestselling author and money expert, Nicole Lapid.

The helpline is open.

So, Jason, this is not our first podcast rodeo, of course.

No, it is not.

We co-hosted a show together, Hush Money.

I remember it well.

Very well, where we debated all sorts of topics from who should pay on a first date,

to whether or not it's kosher, to have a secret bank account.

But there is one topic that we're going to revisit today,

which is around being transparent with co-workers or even competitors about what you're earning.

In other words, do you tell your co-workers what you're making?

Are you asking me that question?

I'm just setting you up.

I'm teeing up our revisit of this debate.

So, this was a topic that we actually did for our pilot when we were pitching Hush Money originally.

And when we first talked about this, Jason, what was your perspective?

So, picture it.

I arrive at your apartment with a bunch of recording equipment that I barely know how to use.

You set it up in your kitchen.
