Veeky Forums, we know that salary transparency between employees gives collective bargaining power and I've always been open about mine, although it's very much against British culture. Anyway:
>be me, the youngest guy in the office >new guy comes in, we discuss experience, career progression opportunities, salaries, managerial positions, work/life balance, job security etc. etc. >I mention which salary point I'm on >an older female asks me to repeat >she cross-checks hers and realises we're on the same one, even though she is older and has more years experience >I casually mention that after I get a qualification certificate in 1 month, it will raise even further >she gets upset to the point she wants to choke tears and e-mails management >I go to the toilet and she has google open for new jobs >she asked for more money and threatened to leave
Next thing, management asks me why the hell I told her what my salary was, and that she asked for more money or she walks. They seem to know she likes her job and will call her bluff, but I'm apparently "creating unnecessary tension".
Who's in the wrong here?

You didn't do anything wrong, but you're an idiot.
Hunter Ramirez
It actually is illegal for a company to tell you not to discuss your salary.
Matthew Morris
you did her a favor by giving her that information, she's the one who dealt with it like a moron
Sebastian Anderson
The company's in the wrong, of course. That doesn't mean you won't have to suffer the consequences though.
Jeremiah Wood
Both of you are wrong. The company shouldn't be trying to deny you from talking about salary. However, you are wrong in talking about it. There will always be people making different amounts, but there are many factors that go into that decision. People making less than you will often be hurt and jealous.
Not everyone can give themselves unbiased self analysis. She probably isn't worth the raise, but of course SHE thinks she is worth it. It does cause unnecessary tension.

You, you fucking Autist. What kind of retard causes problems like that in a workforce?
Good luck never getting far in a job that requires any socialisation or teamwork, you total Sperg

>Who's in the wrong here?
You. Absolutely you.
The woman is crazy. But it was your responsibility to show enough discretion to not reveal all your fucking personal info to a crazy person you obviously don't know well.
You fucked up giving too much info to some cunt. Own it.
Jackson Diaz
People who don't understand discretion won't make it far in corporate politics.
