Sorry in advance for the rant but this is the only sub that would understand. I have two coworkers in my department who are my age, and last week we were alone in the office and started talking about pay. I disclosed my salary because I firmly believe you should talk pay with your coworkers (for this exact reason). The two of them got EXTREMELY pissed because I make more than them (one of whom started 2 months before me, the other just got promoted). I said that that was bs, and they should talk to the proper parties and get raises. I even said they could say I disclosed how much I make, because fuck this company and skimming their employees. They both agreed and said they would. Fast forward to this week, they won’t speak to me or even look at me. I tried to join in a conversation the other day and the one with the promotion gave me a death glare. I feel like they’re mad at me for making more, as if I somehow asked for it? I just wish they would go raise hell and demand the same pay. I’m just so annoyed because they were the only ones I got along with. I know they aren’t the type to complain about pay or get HR/anyone involved for matters like this so I think they’re internalizing their anger and pointing it at me.
