I have an annual review coming up and I was thinking that I have no idea what my coworkers make. When I was hired I unintentionally made a comment that provoked them to offer me just a hair more. If my coworkers didn’t make a similar comment then they are making less than me, or maybe they bartered for even more. Can you discuss this with coworkers or can you be fired for doing so?
This question is based on the premises that I’m close with my coworkers and the topic comes up outside of the office.
