Job wrote me up for discussing pay, what should I do?

Here's the thing, the doc the OP posted cites the employee handbook for "gossiping/disclosing business/personell matters."

That doesn't explicitly say "don't discuss your wage" in the same way it doesn't say "don't talk about Kathy sucking the CEO off and then getting fired."

It's very vague, and vauge is easy to argue. We don't know what the handbook says because we haven't seen the handbook. As others have pointed out, upper management could pin this on a lower level manager and blame it on them for not understanding policy.

Trying to get the company to admit, in writing, from a higher up, that the handbooks policy does cover discussing wages is the best avenue forward if OP wants to see the appropriate people held accountable.
