Is it rude that I told my friend/ex-coworker about my salary increase?
He left the company so he could make more money. Right after he left, the managers gave us all a pay raise so that nobody else would leave. Before he left he was talking about how he would make $4 an hour more at his new job, so it’s not like he made it a secret of how much more he was making at his new job.
Just recently we were talking and he said “I’ll come back if they pay me more” and I made the comment “we were supposed to keep this on the down low but since you don’t work there anymore...after you left Rob gave me a $2.50 raise.” He said “oh wow.” I was kinda hinting maybe they would be willing to negotiate but looking back I kinda felt weird sharing it. But it’s not like he kept it a secret that he left because of money.
