a thing bothered me yesterday and it's still bothering me today and so now i want to tell a story.

"Don't you know what could happen?" Nothing. It's illegal to retaliate against employees for sharing salaries. "Wellll.... ... ..."
Meeting ended. Sheet kept going. People were thanking me for it. They were also sending me peer bonuses.

here's how peer bonuses work @ former co: If you did something good, someone peer bonuses you, you get $150 net in your next paycheck.
-
An important thing I learned during that time: peer bonuses are rewarded at managers discretion. My manager was rejecting all of them.

Wasn't sure if this would be good for the company. Wanted to see what the outcome was. Mind you once a PB is rejected, that can't be undone.

Meanwhile, one of the other people involved, a white dude (good friend I won't name, he can name himself if he wants), was also getting PBs.

His weren't getting rejected. I told him mine were. He was pissed. Wanted to tell everyone what was happening. I declined.

A smattering of people knew what was going on. Backchannels being what they are at former co. (lol IRC
#yallknowwhoyouare), it got around. -
Rejecting PBs was so unheard of, ppl didn't know it was possible. There was outrage when they found out. Shock that I wasn't talking abt it.

Meanwhile, spreadsheet still going, getting spread around, pointed questions being thrown at mgmt about sharing salary ranges (hahah no).
