Im just wondering why when filipinos get together the first thing they will ask is Where are you working?, How much is your SALARY? Im just wondering why?
some people may ask salary for survey purposes...how much is the standard rate for this position. probably this person is earning the same salary for the past 5 yrs and Doha has been different since then...this is a tool to wake up his manager for an increment...
so hummer does this suffice your inquiry? anyways since you receive such question do you feel indifferent?

hmmmm is there any proof to your claim? the only person i saw bragging his salary on a thread was you

HAve you attended our gathering? did we ask you about your work and salary? I think Jozhil is right. maybe the person who asked you saw your hummer and wanted to have one.
its not right but for me its not a big deal if my kabayan will ask for it i just tell that im earning enough to pay for my house amortization. done
maybe for some people, knowing that:
- i earn more for the same work, they will ask for any vacancy or refer their friends or relatives
- they are earning more they will feel contented
- i look far more well-off than my salary can afford, they will assume that i have 'sidelines'
in my office everyone (indian, srilanaka, egyptian,sudanese, lebanese, filipinoes) knows about all our senior staff's salary, including the GM. so such trait is not limited to filipinos
maybe because you are riding H3, that's the reason why they are eager to know where you're working at & how much your salary... then asking you a follow up question if your company has any job vacancy... to refer a friend or to somebody who is looking for a better company or a company that gives a lot of benefits to their employee
FilExpat keep on comparing thier salary????? since when did this happen? i have been attending the group events since april but nobody cared to ask about my salary. we dont even talk about our real names unless the person wants to.
i really dont know where Hummer got this idea... maybe there are other FilExpat group existing in this forum aside from ours.
H3, I wish one day you will attend the filexpat gathering and meet you. I will expect and wait you to ask me about my salary so that i can brag it, personally...lol.. (sorry po.)
i didnt say that it is embarrasing or what ever im just asking why... what's wrong with that... but some filipinos i met ask me like this "you are working at... how much is yuor salary?" they ask like this... why you can't accept it come on men dont be shy smile...
I've done that (ask bout salary and other stuff bout work) to some filipinos(i am a filipina & PROUD to be one),they don't get offended.again it's a matter of How you ask them.Of course i always say " if you don't mind me asking".all of them answers my questions with a smile.I don't judge them by their salaries.I'm quite new here in Doha and wanted to know more or less how much they get for certain jobs because if i will (actually planning to get one) apply a job i would like to have a basic knowledge if I'm getting a fair deal.I'm not a rude person, am very down to earth and love interacting with other people.so far never met anyone that's rude or should i say "disrespectful" to me. :-)
This is one characteristic i disagree with some of my kabayan, it is a very bad manners asking for his salary coz this should be confidential.Asking where he works is fine but that should be all.
I dont think so.For me isn't true.. I never met any kabayan who asked me bout my salary and neither I asked them about theirs...I usually asked them which part of the country you from.. that's it!..
may be those who ask they try to judge others by their salary, but salary is not eveything u knw....Hmmm
Every lady hopes that her daughter will marry a better man than she did. And is convinced that her son will never find a wife as good as his father did!!!

I think I've discovered the secret of life - you just hang around until you get used to it. ~Charles Schulz
hummer, you dont mean ALL Filipinos right?
Otherwise your observation is sorry to say not accurate.
Just a piece of advice if you are really interested to know the answer, when you see a Filipino behaving like this, just ask him/her yourself why.
may be those who ask they try to judge others by their salary, but salary is not eveything u knw....Hmmm
Every lady hopes that her daughter will marry a better man than she did. And is convinced that her son will never find a wife as good as his father did!!!
To compare?
Or some people, wishes to asked for vacancy if they found out that your company offers better than what they are earning?
To help by means of convincing to transfer or to apply to their workplace?
For companion?
Ei... don't know?
lol..im a filipino but did not bother ask any single of my fellow of the salary that they are getting..and wehehehe..i would come to know where they would be working from during the process of getting to know them BUT will not ask on the first meet up..
