But you need to be careful, if you work in an at will state, they can FIRE YOU FOR ANY REASON.

HR here, I still have to tell my mgrs they can’t do that ever, it’s even in our code of conduct that discussing wages is a protected activity 🤦🏻♀️

Not to mention the places that say talking about unions will get you fired.

can they use it as a reason to not give a poor yearly review which leads to them not giving you a yearly raise?

Managers can punish you for this in a lot of ways and simply justify that punishment some other way that’s not illegal

It’s taboo to talk about wages because employers lose if we do it. I asked around at my old job and finally put a value on my abilities.

The only reason they don't want you to is that you will discover how unfair they distribute wages.
