Since I’m in an at will state that’s always the risk, and HR will always lie to cover the ass of the company given the chance. But they still need people, and distributing that information only erodes their ability to keep people in the dark. They can’t fire everyone that has spoken about wages in my case, we’re simply too shortstaffed, and if I got fired I could be picked up easily by another company.
I know plenty of people aren’t in that kind of favorable situation but it makes it easier to do the right thing. The bonuses I’ve seen our execs get would easily cover raises for the lower staff with room to spare.
