Error Code 2014 Commands out of sync; (MySQL WorkBench)

[David Hernandez]

Have read 5 posts on error 2014, none related to MySQL Workbench. I only use
MySQL Workbench 8.0. I have tried all kinds of variations from the material
read on the code presented here but still the error prevails. Can't find
documentation on what the correct sequence should be for "Error Code: 2014
Commands out of sync; you can't run this command now". Any clues how to
address error 2014?

DELIMITER $$
DROP TRIGGER IF EXISTS Before_Salary_Table_Delete;

INSERT INTO SalaryLogAudit2(employeeNumber,validFrom,amount,ActionTaken)
VALUES(OLD.employeeNumber,OLD.validFrom,OLD.amount,OLD.ActionTaken);
UPDATE SalaryLogAudit2 SET ActionTaken = @message WHERE employeenumber = OLD.employeeNumber;
END$$
