Anyone reading this needs to know that discussing pay is a federally protected action. Yea, if they find out you're ruffling feathers they can fuck with you. However, you can report your employer anonymously and incite SOME change. Don't like these fucks win.
Company: don't talk about pay
Me: I guess it is time to start discussing pay with EVERYONE >

Definitely was told this at my last job
Definitely made sure all the millennials knew where each stood so that they could negotiate better for their worth
Got found out, didn't care, but management definitely began to put me on crap assignments after that. Didn't mind too much because we had some dead weight management staff free loading off their "underlings". 
Always know your worth. Don't settle for less. >

Did the same thing at my old job.  Management told us not to talk about pay so the first thing I did was bring up to my team how much I make.  That opened the flood gates and everyone started talking about it.  Found out the new guy was making 10K less than everyone else when they started and I was making 5K more than my supervisor who was a great guy and had been with the company twice as long. >


Management told us not to talk about pay

That's illegal in the US >

I'm aware.  So is wage theft and they did that too.  They also misclassified the entire workforce as management to get around salary exempt laws so they could work us for 80 hours a week without overtime.  My parting gift to the company was a report and documentation submitted to the labor board. >

Not all heroes wear capes. Unless you do wear a cape, I guess >

Company told us not to wear capes. >

I uhh, am partial to that rule. Workplace hazards and all. Don't want to get tangled in a fan, sucked into a turbine, or have it get caught in the elevator. >

THAT KID IS ON THE ESCALATOR AGAIN! I hope his pants get caught and a bloodbath ensues!
