In spite of stellar performance, my request to reprice my role was denied. They're $20k off on base salary for market, our asset size, and experience but say they’re on target. I found out that one of my new hires, who has half my experience and 1/4 of my responsibility is earning just 4k less than I am. They justify this with the 10k bonus I receive. My job reports to the board and is critical at the juncture we’re at as a company. They rave about me but can't pay fairly, and they won't budge.
