I have 14 people reporting to me. They obviously all talk to each other about their salaries. I wasn’t actually involved in any of their salary decisions and one came to me today super pissed that she makes $3k less than someone hired before and after her.
My company did a reorg and said that all my people would get new/higher salaries and I found out it was denied and nothing is happening.
Just emailed my boss and her boss about how we need to make this happen. I know for a fact that both of them find discussing salaries inappropriate so I ended my email with:
“I understand that people have differing opinions regarding employees discussing their salaries with each other, but I personally do not find it inappropriate and it’s not illegal.”
I wanted to add that doing so holds companies accountable but I felt like that would really piss them off and I’m trying to get more money myself lol
Can’t wait to hear what they say!!!
