So I work for a company that has warehouses all over. I’ve done some traveling for the company when the other warehouses are in dire need of help. One warehouse in particular has a ton of competition in their area so they have a turnover rate of 200% and I’ve known they made a dollar/an hour more than my home warehouse. I’ve done a like 6 or 7 trips to this particular warehouse already.
On this last trip I made they got a another pay raise because competition was insane but were specifically told not to tell us while we were up there helping them get their shit together. My coworker and I found about their pay raise within an hour of the first day being there. It caused a bit a friction and as a result we made comments the whole week we were there. We continue to do the work, we just complained the whole entire time.
The HR lady for the region apparently didn’t like that so she sent an email back to my manager telling him what we were saying while also apparently adding in a few lies about us. I was banned from traveling to that particular location as they don’t want me back because apparently I’m toxic which is perfectly okay with me as I don’t want to go back.
Just recently they updated our employee handbook to include not talking about other employees pay. If I’ve learned anything from lurking on this subreddit is that this definitely seems unlawful. Just looking for some advice on how to handle this situation. I’m used to working in restaurants where I make what I get tipped so I’m was never worried what my hourly was.
