Discussed wages so hard that two coworkers are negotiating raises

Over the past few months, my department, and a few others, have been given generous raises at work. They have, however, always been accompanied with the traditional “do not discuss this raise with anyone” warning from HR. Well, obviously, that's just code for, “we are only paying you more because we have to; please don't tell others, or we might have to compensate them fairly too.” I decided that everyone should know about the raises. Two of my coworkers in departments that didn't get the raises are now in active negotiations to get salary raises AND backpay for the time they worked without the pay bump. Always discuss your wages. It's one of the most effective tools for identifying unfair compensation practices, and anyone who tells you otherwise is certainly trying to screw someone out of their fair share of earnings.

Wealth Inequality is a strong indicator for a slew of negative societal effects that led to the origins of this subreddit, and it has only gotten worse in the 9 years since this video was created.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QPKKQnijnsM At the time of this video, the average US CEO earned 380x compared to average worker in his/her company. As long as inequality continues to exacerbate in this exponential trend, conditions will only worsen. Unfettered, late-stage capitalism is nothing more than a genocide of the middle class and below. Couple this with the inflation we're seeing as a result of the Fed's QE pandemic money printing. If you haven't already, you will begin seeing the cost of your groceries, products, services, gas etc. all going up. Something's got to give. Vote with your willful disobedience to the powers that be; otherwise succumb to your existence of a debt slave to the 1%. Be a beacon to those around you. Exit the rat race. Opt out of the legacy system (which was already rigged from the get-go). “It's called the American dream, because you have to be asleep to believe…

Am I Overreacting?

So this all transpired today. I'm in whats supposed to grow to a director's position for a startup company in the Automotive industry. Friday, about 30 minutes before all of our third parties closed, we received a call saying that images weren't loading correctly. Alright, easy, I open a ticket with the correct 3rd Party, inform the entire company – there's only about 10 of us – and clocked out for the day. As I'm on my way home, the same company submitted an email ticket for the exact same issue. I reminded the company of what was going on and enjoyed my weekend. I got in today, and as soon as I put my backpack down, I was talked to about the ticket. Apparently, I should have called the company the second it came in despite having a phone conversation with them 45 minutes prior to the email ticket.…
