Tweet Encouraging People to Discuss Salaries in the Workplace Inspires Debate

• Not everyone agreed

  While many people shared stories about how discussing salaries with their colleagues helped them, others were vehemently against the idea. Some even suggested that talking about salaries in the workplace could get you sacked. 

• An argument in the replies unfolded about the legality of terminating an employee over discussions about salaries in the workplace. 
  
  “firing an employee that is causing trouble? Pretty straight forward.” Replied @WoeHouse.
  
  “Employees discussing salaries and asking for more pay is not drama. Potentially losing your job for being transparent is a tragedy though.” Said @RootAndRestore.
  
  “Drama is drama doesn't matter the source...if an employee is more drama and distraction than productive they will likely get let go. It's pretty common sense.” @WoeHouse responded.
  
  “Not sure where the person who made the original post is from, but in America, the National Labor Relations Act is a federal law that gives all employees the right to discuss their wages with other employees at their workplace.” Explained @BurnThePages.
