Don't have salary discussions with coworkers

[Inactive]

A white lady who is a bit more senior than me (we share the same manager) has found out she makes less money than I do. The look on her face... She looked so hurt. This girl who is also a few years older than me and is so dedicated and does unpaid overtime everyday til 6pm was very offended but tried to hide it. Her education level and experience is much higher than mine. I think she's even more hurt because she always hears me complain and that I have a bad attitude at work. And I'm a slacker; extended lunches and sneaking out early.

I have a feeling she was discriminated against due to her gender when she got the job.

I feel bad. I should have never answered her when she asked the question

Yeah, when I got my first internship at an office job, there are like 3 things you should avoid talking about...salary being one of them.
