Don’t sleep on Macys Wine club. Great deals (plus cash back offers if using Amex). I’ve enjoyed every bottle that they have sent me and it has helped me expand my palette incredibly. Recently joined the Michelin Wine Club and excited to get my first curated shipment from them soon. I’ll let you know how that one turns out but I’m pretty confident it will be phenomenal.

Hello everyone!
I recently found out that I was being paid less than everyone in the team (more than 25% gap to more expe teammates, around 15% less than new hires)
We all had the same responsibilities, I consider I even had a heavier workload (talking in past tense since I very recently made an internal move).
Things to consider:
On a work visa
Non-white
Non-male
What would you recommend doing?
Keeping it to myself?
Speaking up? How? With who?

-TIA

Kindly recommend some self help books!
