For a little context I’m 17, and I got a new job a few weeks ago. I’m working at a grain elevator but I am in charge of their agricultural drone operations, so that means I’m getting paid more then the yard workers since it’s a management position.
I guess I brought up how much I was being paid ($19) to one of them, and now reviews are happening fand my boss called me into his office.
This isn’t word for word but he told me I couldn’t talk about my pay as it was causing problems as I’m getting paid more then most people when they start. He ended this with saying I could ignore him and keep doing it but he “would have to fix the problem”. Which I assume means pay me less or fire me.
This is the next day now and he sent me a text saying “Man you causing me a lot of problems on pay”. Should I just reply with “was not my intentions” and apologize?
TLDR: people at work are unhappy a 17yo is getter by paid more then them and boss is mad and wants me to keep quiet about it. I think the damage is already done as it seems everyone knows.
