Another employee found out my pay and told everyone. One day the manager stopped me and asked me why I had discussed my pay with others. I had no idea why she said that. I asked her what was going on? She told me that Mrs. X was discussing my pay.
I told her I had not told anyone and would never discuss that with another employee. I told her the only people I had disclosed my pay to were the caseworkers for my son's medicaid and subsidized daycare. (Human resources had to fill out a form.)
She asked me how Mrs. X knew, I told her I had no idea! Then she reprimanded me.
(Looking back it really upset me, because Mrs. X was bacially a trouble maker and everyone knew it! For some reason they were afraid to fire hire.)
I'm guessing Mrs. X looked in my purse when I stepped out of the room we worked in.
I was new and didn't know her history, but she a reputation of being a gossip. About four months later she was caught reading the private mail of a physician. (It was mail he had opened and placed in a drawer.) She still was not fired. I don't know why the manager sided with her over and over again. Some people just get away with whatever.
