Sharing her story was risky as she apparently had to “sign a bunch of documents” but felt she needed to fill her followers in.

Lexi’s loyal followers have their say on the situation
Well, many people find this a ridiculous excuse to fire someone especially because it is an assumed risk, not an actual risk. The TikToker’s fans told her to keep her chin up and that she is lucky to have her old job back, however, they do feel she should have lawyered up. The 21st century is wild!
Take a look at some of the comments:
@Kayla Gross said:
“You should talk to an attorney they literally told you they were mad about you sharing salary and then fired you as a result.”
@taylorburnett said:
“So sorry this happened! As someone who really wants salary transparency, I saw your salary video about the new job and was really inspired.”
@Zachary Fox Luke said:
“Talk to an attorney NOW. It is illegal for any US employer to retaliate against employees for sharing salary info.”
@Maddiemacho said:
“I’m so sorry this happened and I’m so happy you’re speaking out! You deserved so much better.”
