I just learned that a new coworker with less experience is making more than me, even though I’ve been the one training them. If you discovered a pay gap like this, would you confront management directly, quietly look for another job, or use it as leverage during review time?

If I somehow discovered that I wouldn't be surprised, that's a common occurrence. Companies often pay new hires more, it's how they attract new people. Confronting management over it probably won't work, most organizations won't entertain a conversation based on what someone else is earning. You could mention during review time that you're aware the pay scale for the position has moved upward, but the main focus should always be on your own work and value to the company.

I always ask my boss like hey I'm just wondering if I can have a 2 dollar raise or even 1.50 if you can . if not that's fine then . Usually I get it since I'm the one they always call or ask to come in or work FH or Dish . Also helps if your boss isn't a complete ass .

Document your contributions and bring them up at review time with data. If leadership doesn’t budge, start exploring outside options, you gain leverage by being willing to walk.

If I were you, I would wait until the review time and bring it to the management's attention. If they do not make any amendments, I would think about quitting the job.

Ugh, that’s frustrating. I’d probably take note and bring it up during my next review, hard to ignore when you’ve been the one training them! But I can see why some might quietly start looking elsewhere too.

Thoughts on “special” salary grades. I just found out the VP I was offered is not a grade 12 like most comparable roles (verified). Also not an 11, but an 11A. Slightly higher than an 11, a good bit lower than a 12. All due to the fact that it’s a leap from my current position. Why should that matter…..shouldn’t it pay what it should pay if I am selected, rather that curving down towards my current rate?
