I work in healthcare. We’re a smaller company with a few clinics, nothing major and we’re super short staffed. I’m doing the job of three people, just like everyone else in healthcare right now.
So the company decides to give us raises based on “the market” in our area. I got 50 cents and thought it was decent…. Until my coworker text me later that evening asking what my increase was. Hers was $2.50
Ive been doing my job 10 years longer than her and have been working at the company an entire year and a half more sooo what. The. Fuck.
A few of us went out to dinner and discussed how none of us can figure out what the hell these numbers were based on. Everyone’s was so different.
Someone’s a rat and I got pulled into the managers office today and got yelled at for discussing “classified information”. That none of us should be discussing wages, it’s not what people are supposed to do, it’s “classified” I honestly started zoning out and don’t know what else she said. I thought steam was going to come out of my ears and I just stared to keep my cool.
I KNOW they can’t actually penalize me for discussing wages because this sub has taught me that. As of right now it’s just angry words from the boss. I really need to throw this back in her face and sound smart about it- can anyone help me out? Like, “per this law we have every right to discuss our wages, just wanted to give you a heads up before you get yourself in trouble” or something.
Help?
