‘Silence is golden…’: Employee scolded by micromanager for disclosing high salary to underpaid coworkers

In certain situations, managing people might force you to diffuse awkward situations. The topics of discussion could include pay—or lack thereof—and dismissing competent workers due to the financial challenges facing the business. That being stated, how would you react if your manager reprimanded you for discussing your salary with a coworker?

The story below is an account of a frustrated worker. The original poster (OP) spent a significant length of time working for the same company. OP is paid significantly more than the company's more seasoned employees. At first, everything was going smoothly, but when OP and the other two workers ended up having an open discussion about pay, things took a turn for the worse. After a conversation like the one that was previously described, it is common for one party to feel demoralized and angry about what they believe to be unjust compensation; however, it is not common for your supervisor to confront you for bringing up the subject in the first place.

Having said that, if you're curious to know what happened after the group discussed wages, make sure to read the story below! Additionally, after you're done, don't forget to read the account of the ferry crew member who threw an entitled passenger off the ship because of his excessive demands!
