If you were Lori and found out what she did, would you have spoken up?👇

Lori, a marketing manager, felt cheated when she discovered that a new, inexperienced employee was earning the same salary as her. This revelation led her to confront her boss.

As a result, not only did Lori get a raise, but the company was compelled to adjust the salaries of multiple employees to prevent unrest.

This week on TLO, “Lori's” true story inspires an important convo around salary transparency & fair pay. 💰

We had an 'all hands' meeting for our engineering team years ago. The director displayed a chart with the different titles available to the team (engineer I, III, III, Staff Engineer, etc) ranked by salary top to bottom (without dollar amounts). My then-title was at the bottom of the chart (thanks for that since I was the only one in the room with said title). I had been trying for a couple of years to get a title change to reflect my duties at the time with no help other than being moved to a different manager and keeping my title. Seeing this chart was enough to get me to look elsewhere for my next job.
