I am depressed because I am getting paid 15k less than the person who I am filling in for while she is on leave. I am still doing my job on top of that. I don’t know how to address this with my boss.

How long is she going to be out? If it's a couple months, the best you can probably do is document the extra work to make a case for a good bonus if your company does them. If it's longer you might have a better case for saying something, but it would probably be best to give it at least a bit so you can go in saying you have thought about the extra work involved and you think it's worth $x

Depends on how long you are filling them for. If you are filling in temporarily, everyone does that in a collaborative team. Sometimes you have to take the work load of someone else or cover them because in the future, you could be the one who has to take the time out and someone has to cover you. If it’s more than a week or 2, then I would talk to the manager about adjustment of workload.

All this means is that she has better negotiation skills, came into role with more YOE, or came on at a later point in time where market value for the role was higher. It's not in any way a negative reflection of you or your performance.

That having been said, having one other salary data point won't be enough to nove the needle in a comp discussion, especially if you are already fairly paid and she happens to be om the higher end if the salary range for that role.

If you can show a demonstrated increase in output or value to the company, that will get your manager's attention.

You should request interim compensation- a percentage of the time frame you will be doing the work for

Depressed is a strong word, making less money than someone else has you down, or are you really struggling with depression? These are two very different things that’s different action should be taken accordingly. Worth considering talking to a counselor if it’s really affecting you!

A director in another unit wants to meet me to “continue a conversation we started last year”. He is referring to the time I had asked him if there were openings on his team. That was over a year ago. I am not too happy where I am right now ( I stayed where I was). I also don’t know if he really has an opportunity or if this is just some corporate circle jerk where my current director is trying to “smoke me out”. I don’t speak poorly of my team/work. How would you approach this conversation?

Monday Morning rumination: unsolicited advise is criticism.

Much to reflect on with this topic. Last week I was told in a 1:1 with a new contact that I was “too direct”. After some time chewing on the conversation I was struggling to place the emotions I was feeling. Turns out I was feeling guilty and shame for being me, for taking up space. Lesson of the week: unsolicited advice is a criticism of you, a micro aggression of who you are, and being “too much”. What would you do??

Has anyone else had a mentor (assigned to them by the Company) who seemed to have it out for you? I mean downright sabotage to make you look bad left and right. I didn’t realize it at first. She was fake friendly, but she was discrete too. Some of the executives thought she was amazing, but I had to clean up her work all the time. She wasn’t above me either on the chain of command. Later I found out she had tried for the exec assistant role and they didn’t choose her, they wanted me instead.
