When I got the promotion, they started sending whiny emails up the management chain. My immediate supervisor that I worked with to get the promotion was then put under scrutiny and essentially told “make this problem go away”. It ended up with my supervisor having to give the coworker a detailed report on all of the reasons they didn’t get the promotion and I did, leading to a tense work environment.
I can easily imagine this coworker doing the same shit if they heard my salary. There are two main reasons that I keep quiet:
I have been walking on eggshells around that coworker since the original incident. It changed the work vibe from focused and fun to petty and defensive. I really don’t want it to get worse.
My supervisor really advocated for me to get the promotion and I don’t want a good deed to be punished.
I do advocate for raises for my coworkers to them and to my supervisor, and I wouldn’t feel hesitant to state actual numbers if it weren’t for that troublesome coworker.
I might just be neurotic about this, idk. It just really sucked when they got butt-hurt and made my work life way more stressful.
