-rb@jeffowski what do you do when the company says “it’s against our policy to discuss your salary (or bonus) with coworkers“?
hpux735@jeffowski @dashrb depending on where you’re at, clauses like that might be unenforceable or illegal.
Lunaphied@dashrb @hpux735 @jeffowski my understanding is they're always unenforceable and illegal but mostly in terms of practical advice I'd say ask for a range instead which people might feel less bad about
@Lunaphied @jeffowski @hpux735 in my case, I live in a “right to work” state (like almost half of the US states). Thus, they could fire me for any reason, and they don’t have to state the reason.
The range suggestion is great advice! I hadn’t considered that. Thanks!
@jeffowski @dashrb @Lunaphied yah, it would suck, but you’d probably still have grounds for wrongful termination. (I am not a lawyer)
@jeffowski @hpux735 @Lunaphied Then I just have to hope that the lawyers that I can afford are better than the lawyers that they can afford. And meanwhile find myself another job since courts take months to resolve complex issues.
The game is definitely rigged.
