There’s like this weird culture around it where some may even consider it rude or too personal like it’s equivalent to asking someone their social security number or something
I’ve heard a rumor it’s because companies/bosses don’t want people to talk about their pay between employees because they may find discrepancies compared to their coworkers, but I’m not 100% sure that’s actually why since even their employees consider it taboo.

To simply put it, this number invokes a reaction that the person sharing is usually better not having told anyone the number and the information can also be spread by others. We treat people differently based on how much they make. Lot of people might feel entitled to your money too or commit acts of jealousy.
