I earn about 7k less than my colleague in the same location + similar role. We both have BSc + 1 of us has a relevant MSc and the other a Professional Qualification. Same experience yrs, but I am in the team 2yrs more than them + they came in externally.

My colleague in a different location earns 15k more than me (after location differences). They have a BSc only + 2yrs of experience in the team less than me and 3yrs less overall. We are on a very similar role.

How do I approach this?

You could talk to your boss during the meeting, saying you’ve done some research and feel that based on your current experience level and research on wages for your role that you feel your underpaid and are requesting a review of your salary and an increase to bring you up to appropriate Pay grade. Most likely they’ll say no. So if you want a pay increase I’d recommend to start applying to other places. I found over the past 10 years that the only way to get paid what you’re worth is to go to another company.

Thank you - thats the plan and my expectations tbh. Based on these, I am underpaid by £10-15k. Nothing is gonna happen now, but even if they agree to give me £10k next year, I'll still be behind min £5k as the colleagues will get a payrise on their current pay that they are already ahead of me. So there is no catching up...

Call me stupid, but I dont want to move yet. Other than underpaying me, my colleagues are lovely and not toxic, I have good benefits and I cant be bothered with the interviewing and onboarding process.....

I think I'll have that convo and re assess at next pay review.

Just wondering how you found out. Did they just share or did you ask them?

Second time happing to me. Ive been over 2yrs in this team and thats the first time I know how much anyone earns.

How much do overnight security/night auditor at hotels make in Atlanta?

Clawback clause in current contract: been in role for over 2 yrs, it was an internal move that required relocation. Relocation was approved shortly after (over 2 yrs ago) but covid meant the actual move and start of my contract with new subsidiary was delayed, I was paid by the previous subsidiary meanwhile. I got small relocation package. Would internal move be subject to a buy-out/clawback clause if I leave now and if yes, is it time in role or time under new contract? Any experience? Thanks!

Hey! Any Google folks know if it’s possible to negotiate fully remote if a contract role is hybrid? Personally, I don’t want to relocate and go to the office on a contract role given the current economy. Plus, I’m assuming contractors are the first to go in layoffs. I just think it’s a fair trade off if I’d be allowed to work fully remote. I’m also trying to have flexibility to manage my Airbnb business in a different country. Same time zone as the home office if I’d travel weeks at a time.
