I make a lot more than a coworker along with a higher title all because I have an awesome boss who cares and he has a selfish one. Should I say something to my boss or HR?

You’re a nice person. But it’s not your problem. I’ve seen people stick their necks out for friends and get their heads chopped off.

Agree with ACD1. The best you can do is tell your friend to fight harder for what he deserves but there may be different scenarios here like how his account may be different than yours. I still think he needs to either go after what he deserves or leave if it’s not worth the fight. if it’s drastically different and/or really unfair, I’ll just leave assuming there’s major bias and it’s deep in the culture.

Well you already have a higher title, that’s harder to justify or pinpoint his boss’s selfishness as the reason. What your friend needs to do is leave and find another job or maybe double check that it’s a unique situation where only you are paid a lot more than usual.

we came in at same title...he should have been a higher title if not then, now for sure. Not that I'm putting my work down, but he does higher level work than I, more direct reports, etc. I dont want to see him leave but would rather try and fix the problem as I think it will continue to happen.

How do you deal with a manager / junior partner who is always nitpicking and questioning why you did what you did, or telling you what you did is the wrong way to do things? It’s generally prefaced with them only doing this to help you grow, but has the exact opposite effect on me. And then when you try to explain your POV, you’re tagged as being defensive. Generally ends me with saying I’m sorry. No other partners at the firm have ever raised any concerns on my communications or work product.

Completely and totally miserable at my firm and just need a space to vent because my friends are tired of hearing about it. I wish the worst part about it was the amount of work, rather than the completely toxic culture, lack of appreciation, arbitrary and back/breaking deadlines, lack of mentorship/feedback/training, and the fact that the associates act like they don’t even know each other. I cry every day and constantly am made to feel stupid for not understanding the highly technical (cont.)

There’s no reason you have to put up with a job you hate. I spent many years working in a toxic environment with a boss who gossiped and lead through fear. He wasn’t really much of a leader but basically a foreman. And he could make my existence miserable. I admit that it wasn’t easy to find another job but the bottom line is: trust your guts. If you feel something is wrong it’s because it probably is. Don’t second guess yourself. Look for options and and fight for your mental health.
