I don't know why you're acting like you did something wrong, you should discuss payment info with your coworkers. We can't fight inequality if we don't know it exists

On the other hand, OP clearly feels like it’s a fuck up on his part, and the truth is his working relationship with this colleague will never again be comfortable.
If you’re wondering why they tell you not to tell your coworkers what you make, you are now reading one example of why they say that.

Why would she be mad at OP? How does that put a strain on the relationship? It's good information to know, now she knows she might have to look for another job or change something

It’s a human nature thing. Every time she looks at this guy, she’s going to think about that $20,000. It’s going to be awkward. I mean maybe not, you never know! Maybe she’ll take this as a learning moment and realize she should stop being late and put in more effort, look up to big bonus guy as a role model, it could happen. But odds are, awkward, at a minimum. Could get worse too, I’ve seen it happen.
People get jealous. It’s human nature. In an ideal world, sure, everyone would instantly unionize the minute they found out Sheryl at the register was getting two dollars an hour more than them. But that’s not what’s going to happen. It’s just going to make things weird now between you and Sheryl, who you used to like.

It has nothing to do with inequality.

If people aren't getting paid the same for the same job then yes it is inequality by definition

Nobody does the same job, and pay isn’t tied to a position, it’s tied to the companies need.

You can say it all you want but that doesn't make it true, people can and do do the same job and pay is tied to positions, have you ever held a job in your life?

Pay is not tied to position. You couldn’t be more wrong.

Lol, enjoy joining the workforce when you eventually do and find out that positions have specific pay rates and ranges.

It’s amazing how confidently wrong you are. The level of blissfully unaware is quite alarming really.

And you, u/AVG_MN_Man speak like a true capitalist who doesn’t mind shitting on workers as long as you get yours

I am a capitalist, however that doesn't mean I'm for shitting on anyone... It's up to you to make sure you're wearing a raincoat when people are trying to shit on you...
