Look for a new job and recalibrate the salary you’re asking for. And when you have your exit interview tell them it’s because you knew they undervalued you. To the tune of $30,000

Is this the same @SC1 that called me out for a publicity stunt when I posted this at 1 AM on a Friday and called me a bro? Totally OK if so but you clearly want nothing to do with me sooooo not sure why you keep relying? Other than to try and make me feel like shit (which BTW won’t work so it’s a waste of your valuable time).

Kelly Butler, I fucking love your bravery. I want to say you have balls, but we all know that lady parts are much stronger.

You know what? I think I’d put the laptop back. Seethe for a week and then go ask for a raise and not share what I found. If I didn’t get the raise I’d be pissed. But then I’d at lease know there was no use spending more time there.

@OP. Similar thing happened to me a few years ago... during bonus season HR accidentally emailed me the entire company’s salary, review scores and bonuses.

I found out I was paid about 35% less than all my male counterparts (I was the only female at my level). My salary was so low in fact that I was in the mid bracket for the level below me... needless to say I didn’t stay there much longer after that.

@FCB1 Holy shit! I do know that feeling. It’s awful. I once found out what someone else made and wished I could unknow it not just because they made more... that’s a reality... but because they were terrible at the same job and made so much more. From then on every time salary convos around the office would come up I’d say... don’t tell me, I don’t want to know. But also... kudos to you for taking the high road and working your ass off. Glad to see you used that knowledge you never even wanted to kick some serious ass in life. 🙌
