Ah my bad I didn't check the username and thought that was you replying.

Because from your all caps comment it's clear you have no deeper perspective on it, just "nunya business".

Oh neat, I've always wondered how boots taste

That's fair, and you've made me think deeper about it. I would personally still choose to share, and I would hope my fellow employee would be smart enough to not take it out on me for no reason if they felt they were receiving a less than desirable amount.

I mean I don't know how bad this drama got but I still think it would be wrong to forbid employees from sharing that knowledge, and that it would be very strange to not share what I make if someone asked me as an employee, since I'm not the one that decided that salary or the salary of the person asking. People getting bent out of shape is their prerogative.

Found the boss lol. If I were her and doing a shit job I'd still want to know I'm making less, so I can better myself or look elsewhere. And if I was OP I wouldn't feel too bad, they're not the one paying her less. And feeling a bit awkward at work is hardly a good reason not to share.

Yeah that's old fashioned, I'm genuinely curious what the reason is you wouldn't share with a coworker? I can't think of a downside.

I'm pretty sure they're quoting a specific vine, it's a teacher saying "whoever threw that piece of paper, your mom's a hoe" which in my friend circles could absolutely be said out of the blue and we'd all laugh

I'm pretty sure they're quoting that one vine of the teacher saying it to some kid but I could be wrong. If they are that would explain why they think it's Gen Z
