I recently found out that someone a level below me is making $20k more than me.What is the best way to go about asking for more money without throwing them under the bus for telling me what they make?

I think it only helps all employees to know what everyone is making. Only people benefitting off you not knowing, is owner. You can say that you know folks in x job are making x and you’d like to be making at least x+y because you bring (day what you bring) to the table. Show how your work brings in revenue, adds to culture and energy of the place, is unique thought partner etc

Question: are you compensated appropriately for your experience/position regardless of what the other employee makes? It may be that you are not underpaid, but they are over paid. It happens. Otherwise, I suggest you tread lightly.

make sure you are tactfully ready to approach gender and age bias
