If you discovered that a colleague with identical experience and performance was earning 20% more than you for the same role, would you confront your employer, negotiate quietly, or accept it as the cost of individual bargaining and what does your choice say about your views on workplace equity?

I wouldn't "confront" anyone, that usually doesn't go over well. I would negotiate quietly keeping in mind what I know, but never letting them in on what I know. And if you have to go elsewhere to get that, then that is what I would do. Gathering outside offers can't hurt.

That’s a smart approach; quiet, calculated, and zero drama. It will probably just put them on the defensive and makes me the “problem.” Keeping my cards close while I negotiate (or just straight-up job hunt) is way more effective. Thanks for the advice

Researching the job mkt & pay for nursing: It is so easy to set up a first interview esp. as a nurse. Set up a zoom meeting, in the zoom meeting ask abt job details and ask for the salary range. They will give it to you, and in my case it was the same range for both of the companies. (Hospice oncall nurse here👋). Then you fit in somewhere on that continuum based on education & experience—that where the negotiation comes in—they will make a case to place you as low as possible on the scale.
