A couple months ago, I found out that a male peer of mine is making at least $10K more than I do. I brought it up with HR and I was told that the difference lies in each of us being in different departments. Recently, I moved to another division of our company and I was told I'm not getting additional compensation. I agreed to take the role as I like the new role. Disappointed that the company won't budge on salary. Sometimes, I think that they are gaslighting me. Is it time to leave?

There isn’t enough to confirm anything. If you two are in different departments, that could be the primary reasons. There are people at my level making more and less than me — mostly because we are all in different areas. Some areas are more profitable or “productive” so they get a bigger budget.

However, if you feel financially stuck and the company won’t budge, then maybe it may be worth looking elsewhere

No it is time to file a complaint with the EEOC for gender discrimination. The fact that you are making considerably less for the same or more work constitutes the fact that there is definitely unfairness going on at that company. It is worth looking in to. The best way to do this, Is to file a complaint with your local EEOC. Let them decide.

Do the explanations make sense to you? Does the higher-paid man’s division bring in more money or have more responsibility? And the two divisions you’ve been in are about equal and your roles are equal?
If not, you might be more valued elsewhere

If the salary band in your old department was truly different than the salary band in the department of the mail that you were speaking of, that is possible, but sometimes it’s easy to look up. Go look at it on glass door. I have seen that before, but it’s pretty rare. A manager in customer service made $10,000 less than a manager in a back office position jobs were exactly the same. I could never figure out why there was a difference because there shouldn’t have been. It sounds like the position that you took, your current one was that done on a posting? Did you see a salary band for it? If so, and now they’re telling you there’s no increase that you’re going to receive, were you aware of that before you made the move? Essentially that’s a lateral move, if you were not made aware of that, I would start having discussions. Documenting everything along the way. Good luck.

Salary differences for the same role in the same company are perfectly possible without assuming it's a male/ female thing. Salary band positions,
more/less experience, higher relevent qualifications or earned annual or performance increases would all influence this.
