>he would always say something to the effect of: "as you know, you can't discuss your compensation with coworkers." I knew it was illegal for him to say that but, if it's not in writing then there's basically no recourse. Follow-up email: "Thanks for the helpful feedback in the review! And yes, as instructed, I would never dream of talking to co-workers about compensation. I know that's against policy." Then, either he puts in writing that it's not policy, or you've started a paper trail.
