Comments by "Ficus-lovin\x27 Capybara N\x27 pals • 🌟 • 25 yrs ago" (@YourCapybaraAmigo_17yrsago) on "Woman Fired for Revealing Her Salary" video.
She has a pretty easy case to make for wrongful termination and I hope she sues. Companies need to learn that they can't mistreat their employees. She'll be fine. She's young and healthy or can't you tell? I believe she shortly found another job at a good salary. The only reason employers try to tell employees not to discuss their salary is so that people won't ask for raises. That's wrong and needs to stop. In almost every other developed country at will firing is illegal and employees right to discuss their salary with whoever they choose is protected. It's actually supposed to be federally protected here in the US as well but companies either ignore that betting that their employees won't know the law or find sneaky ways around it.

Wage and salary transparency needs to become the new norm. This isn't proprietary protected information that the company has a right to keep confidential. Everyone has an ethical right to discuss their salary if they so wish and to know the comparable salaries of the other employees in their workplace to know if they're getting cheated or not. Employers just like to cheat their employees and it's just wrong. It needs to become absolutely illegal if it isn't already to fire someone or take any kind of negative response towards an employee that has an open discussion about their current wages and benefits.

Way to stick up for the exploiting companies, chief. You really stood up for the right side this time.

Mostly true. George always spoke the truth. Miss him.

@moldykyle5815 keep trying. Don't give up!

Call their bluff or find somewhere else to work. You don't have to put up with that treatment. Also threaten to sue them for illegal employee treatment. Pretty sure that's illegal conduct.

@kes9612 Wage transparency needs to become the accepted norm in the US. Sounds like it's the norm and the law everywhere else. Companies have no ethical reason for trying to prevent employees from discussing their own personal business with each other when it comes to their salary. Companies just don't want to pay any more than they have to and if employees discover they're being underpaid obviously they're going to want that rectified, as they rightly should. If companies paid fairly to start with then they won't have anything to fear about other employees learning how their pay stacks up against others in their workplace. This is also why I believe we need published, set salaries and benefits for the same position and/or the same amount of experience and education. We need a more specific updated wage and salary transparency law which would protect employees from any retaliatory efforts legal or otherwise from companies due to communications about wages.

@time2livelife unfortunately yes. They own government on every single level. Still, we gotta fight.

@neal cassady This is why we need better employee/labor law in this country. That will be hard to do with the current crop of corrupt soulless blood-drinkers who take office but that's why we got to try to fight and get better people in there or run ourselves. Employees don't have nearly enough legal protection in this country and employers have an outsized amount. The playing field is definitely not level and that's exactly how big employers like it. So we keep fighting this in the courts and at the ballot box.

She could sue for wrongful termination.

@kalievesely3200 why???? What she chooses to do on her own time in her own social media is her business. As long as she's not specifically revealing any proprietary information from the company I don't see how they legally have any reason to fire her or take any negative actions against her based on anything she said on her own private non-work based social media account. Sounds to me she has a good cause for a lawsuit here.

@kalievesely3200 that's what I'm saying. if it bothered her superiors that much they should have just asked her politely to remove it and I'm sure she would have complied. nonetheless, do they even have the right to really ask her that? Why don't they want this information to get out? Cuz they don't want to give all their employees at $20,000 raise? But again, assuming she got it for legitimate reasons, the others would have to prove while they merit one as well, if they ask for it. So even if every single employee in the entire building shows up to Management's office and demands a raise, management doesn't have to comply. So I still don't see how she caused them any harm, and again since this was just casual information revealed on her private social media account, I don't see how they legally have any grounds to ask her to remove it or to fire her as a result of that information that was shared on the platform. Since it was private to her and no one else, no one's confidentiality was violated.

@GameChanger597 well if companies want to value different employees differently who have the same level of educational background experience I think the employees have a right to know. This is why I support set salaries. Eliminates even the appearance much less the actuality of favoritism and disparity.

@Snow-xd4rv she still has grounds for wrongful termination.

Wasted Now but that's the problem

US workers get screwed in so many ways compared to the rest of the developed world and the sad thing is most don't even know it. I say this as someone who lives here.

@NunYaBiz1313 lol so blame her for this, not the company that's allowing this to happen? Hopefully that's not why she got the raise for. And if she did I don't think that she would post that to tiktok. Maybe she was just able to negotiate her way into it I don't know. But employers try enough dirty tricks and definitely not going to side with them on this one. Employees have and should have the right to discuss their own personal salary with anyone they so choose. It's their own information she's not revealing anyone else's private or confidential information so she's not doing anything wrong. If I want to share my salary with the whole world or some of my other coworkers that should be my prerogative. If employers don't like that tough. They should be paying all their workers equitably anyways and if they're not then they need to rectify that.

@meganthememe130 is suing that expensive though? I don't think it is. If I was her I would definitely sue for wrongful termination here because it was clear why they fired her and if it wasn't due to her conduct on the job or at the workplace doesn't sound like it's legal to me.

@asahel980 I doubt that. She already has another job that it sounds like she's happy with including her current salary with them.

Exactly.

@writtenhousesecurity6499 except she already got another job offer that she took and is now happy with

@Ivy-dd8bf some people actually think this way smh

@writtenhousesecurity6499 Rittenhouse belongs in prison and you can join him if you think he didn't kill three people without justification. But you like his skin color so you'll excuse manslaughter amirite? K. As for this young lady you're not looking at it the right way. The company was in the wrong here.

I mean what you want her to do? Kill herself? I just don't understand the point here, sorry.
