嘿，Vanessa！年薪三萬五，不賴嘛！

And Charles! 6... dollars? You only make 6 dollars a year?

Charles，六...美元？你的年薪只有六美元？

Stop this right now, Adam; you can't discuss salaries openly like this!

亞當！馬上給我停止！薪資不是給你這樣公開討論的！

The right to share your salary is protected by the National Labor Relations Act.

透露自己薪資的權利是由全國勞資關係委員會所保護。

Employees have the right to engage in ⏤ man, this comic's boring; you get the idea.

員工有權利參與......哎呀，這漫畫也太無聊了。你明白意思吧。

And being public with your salary actually benefits you. So, without further ado ⏤

而公開自己的薪資其實對你有好處。所以，話不多說——

No! I mean, even if it's legal, it makes me really uncomfortable.

不要！我是說，即使公開薪資不違法，卻會這讓我感到很不自在。

Exactly. Americans have an enormous taboo against talking about money.

正是如此。談錢是美國人很大的禁忌。

Most people would rather discuss their sex lives than their salaries.

大多數人寧願談論自己的性生活，也不願話題觸及薪水。

So, anyway, that's where I enjoy fingers during intercourse.

所以啊，反正就是在那個時候我會享受指交。

Aww, fascinating. Say, how much money do you make?

哇，引人入勝！哎呀，所以你賺多少錢啊？

But all that taboo does is take power away from the employee and give it to the company.

不過這般禁忌所造成的，便是奪走了員工的權力，將其拱手給了公司，任憑公司擺佈。

But if people know how much money I make, they'll resent me; I mean, they'll know that I'm filthy, stinking middle class!

但如果大家知道我賺多少的話，我會成為憎惡對象！我的意思是，這樣大家就知道我是個平庸的中產階級！

No, they won't, they'll resent the company; look, here's what you think will happen if you share your salary.

不，並不會。大家憎惡的對象會是公司！好啦，你以為透露薪資的話，會是以下情況：

而實際上會發生的情況是如此：

Bosses like Benny love it when you keep your salary a secret because it tilts paying negotiations in their favor.

Benny 這種老闆就愛薪水保密的員工了，因為薪資談判時將對資方他們有利。

It's a concept called information asymmetry.

這便是「資訊不對稱」的概念。

If you don't know what the going rate is for your salary, it's easier for the company to rip you off.

若你不知道自己薪資的現行比率為何，公司要剝削你簡直易如反掌。

我猜大家在這裡的薪水就是如此吧。

For instance, African American women make 64 cents for every dollar the average white guy makes.

譬如，白種男人每賺一塊美金，非裔美國女人只能賺 64 分。

I guess that's what everybody here makes.

我猜大家在這裡賺的都差不多吧。

The bottom line is: If you don't have all the information, you could get scammed big time!

說到底就是，你沒有掌握全部資訊的話，有可能會被騙很大。

我們一年只能給你 6 美元的薪水。

大家在這裡的薪水應該差不多就是如此吧？是吧？

Discussing your salary with your coworkers is your right as an employee.

跟同事討論薪水是你作為員工的權利。

When you let these guys stop you from doing it, you push your own wages down,

若你因這些人而不談論的話，等於是變相使自己的報酬下跌。

which means you're spending more years of your life slaving away in a job that doesn't pay you what you're really worth.

也就是說你在花人生歲月為工作賣命，所得報酬卻和你所付出的價值不對等。

You're right; all of this is a waste of time.

你說得沒錯！這一切是在浪費時間！

Hahahaha, you're saying all of these people are wasted, and it's not even 5 o'clock. It's a joke.

哈哈哈你說什麼，你說這些人都喝茫了，而且還不到五點。開個玩笑......

Stop trying to lighten the mood with your fantastic boss humor ; this is all your fault.

少在那邊用你自以為好棒棒的老闆式幽默試圖緩和氣氛。這全都要怪你！

My name is Shayna Monroe, and I make 30,000 dollars a year.

我是 Shayna Monroe，年薪三萬美元。

My name is Becca Niesen, and I make 40,000 a year.

我叫 Becca Niesen，年薪四萬美元。

My name is Charles Wicket; I make 6 dollars a year, and I demand a raise! Please.

我是 Charles Wicket，每年領六美元，所以我要求加薪！拜託了......

Viva la revolución! More money! More money! More money!

辦公室革命！加薪！加薪！加薪！

Yes! Share your salaries with the world! Negotiate for better wages!

是的，就是這樣！告訴全世界你的薪水！談判為爭取更好的工資待遇！

You can achieve informational symmetry, for knowledge is power!

你們可以達成資訊對等！因為知識就是力量！

拜託別這樣！我很容易瘀青的！
