I Revealed My Salary to a Coworker—Now HR Canceled My Promotion

Many of us have been there: that awkward moment when a coworker leans in and asks the one question you’re “not supposed” to answer. While most of us were raised to keep our finances private, leading with a little empathy for a friend can sometimes pull back the curtain on a major mess. You might think you’re just being helpful, but as today’s story shows, having the compassion to speak up can turn a “hush-hush” policy into a total corporate meltdown.
