I have access to people’s salary information and I’ve never really been concerned about the salaries and fairness before now. Her salary is bigger than mine and she’s only at the office two days a week, mostly watching TV or playing on her phone. Our “unpaid intern” is paid $42,000/year.

You’re still allowed to turn any offer that results, whether it’s because of the salary, the work, the company culture, or any other factor. Maybe people in retail or restaurant work as well. It hasn’t been a thing anywhere I’ve worked either, but yeah, judging by my mail, there are plenty of workplaces where it is.

If I’m a supervisor, does that prohibit me from discussing my salary with peer supervisors? Salary Badgering from Coworker.

I will be mailing out graduation announcements soon, and was wondering what you feel would be the proper workplace etiquette in regards to sending them to my managers? Should I send graduation announcements to my managers? We’re in the U.S.
