<prompt> Human: well today i accidentally ratted out one of my co workers. ive been in training for a hazmat job. i just got my hazmat endorsement, but held a cdl class b for about 5 years. i was in training for about 2 weeks. i make 12 dollars an hour and i finally got the meeting discussing my pay increase and the job i now hold. i asked for 14.50 and he told me a 2.50 increase was way too much. i said the old driver got paid that much and i could almost see froth coming out from his mouth. he said i wasnt trained enough and said i need a co driver 3 more times on my route. i told the other driver i wouldnt bring him up, but in my stupidity i did. after the meeting was over the manager said to the other person that was in the room i want to see anon first thing in the morning tomorrow. i guess what im asking is did i mess up and how should i handle these meetings. it was the first actual job that i rose in rank thus deserving a pay raise. i drank a six pack since im worried anon will get in trouble due to my blunder, so sorry if this seems like blathering. the company i work for is notorious for never giving raises and treating employees badly. ive worked for them for almost 3 years now and i just dont know what to do. i need the money bad, but it seems there is no hope. please give me some guidance.  <response>: Its super illegal for employers to prevent employees from discussing wage.
