My male coworker and I do the exact same job, but he’s paid $12k more. I found out because we accidentally got cc’d on the same salary spreadsheet. I’m fuming, but also afraid that if I raise it, I’ll be labeled “difficult.” I work hard, get great reviews, and meet all my deadlines. But now I feel like a sucker for being loyal. What would you do in my shoes?

Blow it up. Use that spreadsheet as leverage and loop in HR and leadership. If they’re going to call you “difficult,” at least make it worth it.

Ask for more. But use the spreadsheet to open the convo and then actual job responsibilities/performance to support your ask. They will likely also be embarrassed of this goof - don’t make a huge deal of that just focus on what you want and why your work warrants it.

While the show was staged, there might be truth to the latter part.
