A co-worker told me their salary and its 50% higher than mine. She has the same title, same experience and a worse degree. If I try and negotiate my salary and bring up the difference in pay, how would it impact my co-worker?

It shouldn’t! Your coworker should be supportive you’re doing this, and it’s not like HR can fire them for disclosing salary unless it’s written in their contract not to. Negotiate your salary and don’t settle for less esp if you have the same job responsibilities.

Unless stated in contract you are able to discuss your salary without being threatened by the your companyb

Well, you shouldn't be bothered about the negative mindset of your co worker. Imo, I'll advise you try invest 50% of your salary, in doing so you'd be financially stable and earn extra income stream than your co worker. Your success would convince her how profitable you are! Actions speaks louder than words!

How does experience differ? Have you proven that you can accomplish what she has? There could be other factors. Did you try to negotiate salary?

I have more industry experience and I am better performer, based off our metrics. I plan to negotiate

He is usually pretty emotional and his instructions are vague, which doesn’t help.

If there was one consistent message from ALL our leaders, nobody would need to talk about mandating anything.
