salary talk
Pay rate conversation
Salary talk is discussion about compensation, especially conversations where employees share what they earn with each other.
The phrase often appears in workplace contexts where such openness has traditionally been discouraged: Management frowns on salary talk, but it's legally protected.
It can also refer to negotiating pay with an employer: I'm dreading the salary talk in my interview.
