I just found out that a new hire with less experience than me is making $20k more than my current salary. When I brought this up to my director, he said pay transparency isn't professional and implied I should be happy with what I have. I’ve been here for three years, stayed late, and hit every KPI, yet they’re paying the new guy a premium just to get him in the door. It’s the ultimate slap in the face and a clear sign that loyalty means nothing to this company. Would you start job hunting immediately?

This is the unfortunate norm, unless you are constantly moving companies you are leaving money on the table. I have accepted this in exchange for stability.

No company is going to give you a raise because someone else is making more than you. They will give you a raise because they need you, and will lose you without it. That doesn't sound like leverage you have at this company. You deserve to be paid fair market value and it sounds like the only way for you to do that is to start job hunting.
