Did you ever retaliate against an employer for wrongfully terminating you? Or even for threats of retaliation or punishment?

I’m sure a lot of people have thought about this and feel discouraged. If you have a story good or bad maybe it will help others decide if the next move should be legal recourse.

Today in “Gee, why would someone not want to post salary numbers?” (article on pay transparency)

https://www.cnn.com/2022/02/09/success/salary-ranges-pay-transparency/index.html “Only about 12% of postings from US online job sites include salary ranges, according to Julia Pollak, chief economist at ZipRecruiter. And that's an increase from 8% in 2019.” “Keeping the number under wraps can also be a negotiation strategy. “The person who says a number first loses,” said Donovan. Publishing salary information also means that competitors and current employees can see what a company is paying. In some cases, current employees may discover that they are underpaid, which could lead them to demand more or find a new job. “That's the scary part, that is why [companies] aren't putting it in writing,” she said.”

No Salary Listed for a Reason

Companies don't/won't list salary for an open position because they don't want existing employees to know what they're willing to pay a new person for the same job. Even small companies with 2-5 people working the same positions will have a wide variety of salaries.

I’ve been asked to justify a higher wage in a work from home role..

I currently work for a law firm in the UK and like many, this pandemic has opened my eyes to the value of working from home and having a better work/life balance. It has also thrown up many new job opportunities in my industry for the same role at a higher wage and better prospects but due to the higher wage, one question I have been asked in an interview is how can they justify offering me a higher wage when it will be a WFH role?.. My first answer was well you’re actually saving money but also my wage should justify my work ethic, ability and professionalism not the environment I operate in so I just wanted to ask for this subs thoughts and answers!
