Hi! First off, I know none of this constitutes legal advice, etc., but I’d like some outside perspectives and advice here.

My wife found out she makes ~25% less that her male co-worker did when he was her level of seniority, and they have the same job responsibilities and the exact same credentials (same undergrad, masters program, etc.); he now makes 50% more than she does, but has 3 more years of WE, so to me that’s not as applicable.

Does she have a claim here? Need any other details?

Maybe. Assuming WE is work experience, that’s a pretty gender neutral reason to rebut the pay discrepancy. Contact a lawyer.

She may have a claim with respect to the 25% differential, but she is probably best off using this info to negotiate for better pay rather than suing her employer and burning bridges…

Hi all,

I am currently an Assistant Manager for my companies Operations department. I have been in the role since Feb 2018, initially as a Supervisor, and in the beginning of 2021 got promoted to Assistant Manager. Prior to this role I worked as a claim adjuster since the beginning of 2009. I feel my current comp for my role is underpaying me ($80k CAD), but wanted to ask here to get perspective.

I am an associate broker working in wholesale (NYC) I have about 5 YOE and make about $75K + bonus. I work for a large team and end up having to help with everything all the time, from servicing accounts to marketing them. I work close to 50 hours every week in attempt to finish all tasks but it just keeps piling up. I recently found out that another person within the team (same title, who is doing way less than I am) is making almost $90K. This is making me resentful… not sure what to do.

Is this a universal experience across comparable firms or are other firms doing across-the-board increases in light of 2023’s 8.7% COL jump? Am I overthinking this?
