Do I have the right to discuss my (ex)coworkers wages without their knowledge? I recently was promoted to assistant manager at my restaurant and on occasion I will be asked to work a shift where I only clock in as manager for the first two hours, then I have to switch to “head server”, which cuts the pay in more than half, until the next manager gets there at 4pm. Snooping in the computer I found out that the old assistant manager we’ll call Dave who was fired was paid the full assistant manager wages.
Me and my coworker who is also an assistant manager, and in the same situation as I, found out what Dave was paid. It’s more than what we get right now, and also that Dave was allowed to stay clocked in as a manager for his whole shift. My question is am I technically allowed to know Dave’s wages and clock in history and discuss it with my coworker, because Dave didn’t tell me himself?
