So in the US we are federally protected about talking about wages with coworkers. If you read on it, companies are not allowed to make policies forbidding it, nor can they retaliate against those who do. My current company I work for, makes no secret that they are VERY against sharing income, to the point of actual threats. They as much as told me, when I mentioned my protection at a federal level from their punishment if I did, that they’d find a reason to let the guilty parties go… currently looking for another job. I guess I wonder how others feel about work environments like this? It makes me super uncomfortable!! Especially if the frickin govt “protects” me.
