Were you hired together or got paired up after both were already at the agency? If hired together I think it’s worth a discussion, if the latter then the male thing may not be the reason - it could just be how they negotiated when they came to the agency etc.

If y’all got hired together though that’s fucked. But sadly, advertising is still such a boys club. And the best way to combat it is to have a discussion with your manager and don’t make it a comparison to him and more about the value you add - bring your receipts and examples of how you deserve x-amount more.

Most people negotiate male or female. Others accept the first offer male or female. Unless you were apart of the conversation. You have no context. If you found out you made more than another woman. You probably won’t bring it up.

Unfortunately this question comes up a lot! Here are a couple threads you can check out:

I've done so well in this new role within the company that they are hiring another person to assist with what I do.

Is it wrong for me to expect either a promotion or to be paid to train this person?

Comforting others:
When someone tells me bad news regarding their health, I say everything I am supposed to say (I’m sorry to hear that, I’m here for you, etc) EXCEPT “everything is going to be ok”. Because I can’t guarantee that and I really don’t know if everything is going to be ok. I was taken aback recently when a friend told me I am calloused and cold-hearted for not being able to say those words. Is she right? Should I start saying this for the purposes of providing comfort only??
