What do you wish on your ex?
The new company I’m at now sent me an email from an email address that was HR@companyName.careers saying I was accepted for the position. They gave me paperwork to fill out and sign to accept the position
I fill out the paperwork and send it back to them and it goes through… then a few days later I go back to the email to say something else and I get this…?
Then today I got a check from the company In the mail to setup my home office, and it’s signed by someone I’ve never met before or heard of…?
What…..

Week be looking good 🥹

I would worry only about my own salary and keep quiet. Firm will eventually introduce a cohort and address these things.

Not an uncommon situation. How did you find out?

He told me last week during our 1:1, I almost blurted out how much I made but stopped myself.
That’s just how it goes, tell em to get some leverage
The right people are worth stirring the pot for

Let it go. 5% is just a numerical range. They are probably happy with their job and salary. No need to ruin it for them.
It definitely makes you feel better, keep it yourself and your loved ones. In fact your loved ones also care you are doing well and are happy, you making more than someone doesn’t matter to them

Yeah I figure this too, if we were at the same level I really wouldn’t care. But he’s a level above and still not getting the same rate as me, that’s what really irks me. Also he disclosed his pay to me, so felt like I owe him too in that regard.
It’s possible he was downplaying his salary or not sharing other comp benefits that he receives. Either way, let it go. He could likely find out your salary if he wanted.

5% isn’t really much in the grand scheme of things. I’d just stay quiet and go on with my day.
