I’m having a few issues with a colleague prying into my salary at work.

I don’t want to go into too much detail about the situation, but I’ve known this person for a fairly long time, before we got the job where we currently work.

they were pressuring me into revealing my salary by saying how long we’d known each other and begging me to tell them.

After several attempts at saying I didn’t want to give the information. I sadly gave in. I wish I hadn’t and had been stronger. I have been beating myself up about it ever since. I feel terrible, I don’t want to get into trouble. It’s all I’ve thought about all day. Why couldn’t I just stand my ground?

If something were to happen, would I even have a leg to stand on? They just made me feel so guilty and used our relationship to manipulate me a bit.

I’m very sad.
