DP Daily Prompt: Plead the Fifth
What question do you hate to be asked ? Why?
When I started teaching, I was asked many times, what is your grade certificate?
I will explain what this means when we apply for a teaching position in the province where I live, the department of education reviews our educational qualification and they give us a certificate on which they print the grade. This is essential, it helps to know what someone’s salary ought to be on the basis of the grade certificate.
There was one particular teacher, who wanted to know what my salary was. The moment anyone finds out about the grade they instantly know what that person’s salary is.
She annoyed me a number of times, eventually she found out. Her mother was a secretary in the department of education!

Dear Ranu,
Thank you for this post. Some people are just nosey 🙂
All good wishes,
robert
I know,thanks Robert.
I think “How much do you make?” is a taboo question almost anywhere. I’ve never been asked the question, but it probably comes up a lot once you have a stable job.
Yes you are right, they are dying to know but when there’s a loop hole,
they take their chance. Thank you Noah, I always love to hear from you.

Thank you.
It is such an awkward feeling. Wonder what she got from knowing your salary.
Dear Sonya,
Actually she was afraid I might be making more than her.
Thank you.
