I recently found out the new starter in my team is on a higher salary than me, we do the same job. I've had a raise maybe 2 years ago, and that felt like pulling teeth to get. Has anyone had the experience of discussing pay increases with their manager in situations like this? I don't know if I should say I know that I'm being paid less or better to approach it neutrally.

First, just because you do the same job doesn't mean that you have the same experience, and they may have been a better negotiator than you. That's simply the case. With my current employer I negotiated another 9k on top of their offer.

Second, do not tell your manager that you know about anyone's salary. Your co-worker shouldn't have been talking about, and if you found out in any other manner, then that may start looking a little suspicious about what data you have access to, or if you access something you weren't supposed to.

Negotiate only on your merits. It will help if you know the salary scale, and where you are in that scale. You will need to justify the merit based increase based on your achievements. Do you volunteer first when there is extra work presented to your team? Those sorts of things. Are you performing highly? What's the metric you're using to justify that.

I hope this helps.

It is legally protected for employees to discuss salary. While many consider it poor form to discuss compensation, it's not advisable (nor legal) for a senior colleague (especially leadership) to counsel another colleague not to discuss compensation

We have sales people in Canada and the US, the Canadians make 150K CAD and down here it’s 150K USD, the Canadians argue they should be making 30% more than the US colleagues to be equal bc of the exchange! I explain the salary is dependent on the market data for them in Canada, WHERE THEY LIVE, and you can’t compare it to the US employees and the market data down here. Overall they are both in the 75th% for total comp. for their industry. Am I wrong?
