💸 If you found out a coworker made significantly more than you for the same role, what would you do about it (if anything)?

Yes, I was training the new employees that made a lot more than I did and I had 9 years of experience. I talked to my manager. He said it was because they had a degree. I asked if I would get a raise if I got a degree and he said it didn't work that way. So I got a degree (company paid for it) and I found a new job that paid a lot more. It was an eye opener for me and a huge win.

Any worker earning significantly more than his or her co work shows he has a quality which served as edge above others . I once experienced of such but I took a wise response by getting closer to him learning such quality from him because I am a fast learner then build myself even more . Finally I was promoted to Deputy Inventory Manager with a reasonable salary.

Happened to me. I worked somewhere for 4 years. I opened, closed, trained and worked lots of OT when they had no one - literally three of us to run an 18 hour day. Management hired a "bartender" who came "with experience" but didnt seem to know anything behind the counter. I had trained her for 2 weeks without much progress. Found out she was making $4/hr MORE than me. Obviously, I wasn't appreciated that much and I had 2 jobs. I started looking for a new job that day.

It would depend. I know in my position I make significantly more than some of the other team members with the same role. But I have way more texture. In some cases more than 10 years more tenure. Also several years more experience in the role. I guess it would depend if it was purely apples to apples and everyone have the same time in, same level of experience, and the same performance on the job.

My coworker made $8 more an hour for working only hours with management on. I was working hours almost exclusively without any management, yet when I asked for any sort of pay increase- even AFTER having several guests verbally assault not only me, but my coworker, while management was clocked out and unavailable.

Then, when management clocked in- they catered to the guest’s complaints, didn’t check cameras, didn’t listen to our play by play account of what had occurred, just compensated the guest. Evening and night shift were constantly under paid, while also treated as though they were unreliable- despite operating in full view of cameras the entire shift.

Should I mention that day shift was young, beautiful, blonde haired and blue eyed? Night and Evening shift were mixed race, african american and elderly.

You should be okay and proud of your accomplishments regardless of any comparisons.

They should be proud of the work they do simply. If it’s not up to their standards? God forbid they’d stay and be doing something they aren’t comfortable with, but I hope anyone in that predicament has some sort of willpower when making said decisions.
