‘I accepted a higher-paying position before resigning’: Management threatens to fire an employee because she shared her salary with a loud-mouth Karen; she quits and finds a better job

Is it illegal to discuss your salary with your coworkers? Technically no, but it can make some waves in the workplace that some employees– and management –definitely don't want to address.

'I missed the part where that's my problem': Tenant enjoys an 'I-told-you-so' moment after refusing to cooperate with unprepared realtors; agents get locked out

Newsflash: Tenants have lives and we are not waiting on your beck and call.

'[My boss] was trying to throw me under the bus': Stellar employee asks for a $2/hour raise then gets fired for 'misconduct'; they're gaslit for a year before winning their case in front of the labor board

We all get a little nervous to ask for a raise. Even when an employee is due a salary increase, it's still a strangely awkward encounter to try and negotiate an improved wage with the higher ups. It just feels illegal. No matter who you are, there's always a tiny voice in the back of your head that spreads doubt. I'm pretty sure that's called imposter syndrome, right?
