A coworker mentioned they got a raise at their 6-month mark, but I just passed mine, and my pay stayed the same. Our roles and performance are pretty similar. How do I bring this up with my manager to ask for a raise without making it obvious that my colleague leaked their salary info? I don’t want to get them in trouble.

There is no reason to involve the other person. If there is normally a 6 month review and associated pay adjustment, there is no reason why you wouldn't be able to ask your boss about the review timeframe. I'd focus on the 'getting feedback from your boss' angle - if the feedback is good, the logical next question is 'how will my pay be adjusted to reflect the feedback?'

They might have negotiated that and/or have different prior experience. I would come from a point of curiosity and see if you can negotiate a mid year review next year. Ask what you need to do to get the extra bump. Just because a peer gets an increase doesn’t mean every should get one.

I’ve found managers usually know people talk about pay, even if no one admits it. You don’t need to protect the secret explicitly. Just keep it professional and self-focused. Worst case, they say it’s too soon. Best case, they realize you’re overdue and fix it.

Is your coworkers total comp already lower than yours? I would focus less on raise amount and more on total comp.
