NEED ADVICE! I’m a marketing mgr. of a large firm

In my past I lived a life I wasn’t proud and moved to NYC to better myself. I was in bad company and tried to leave “that life” behind. But the past caught up with me last week. One of the guys I used to run with found me in NYC & PRESSED me. Said I owe him a “fee” for turning my back on him. I got upset & told him to KMA

Today I got an email from HR & Legal - one of my colleagues was confronted by two masked men asking for me IDK WHAT TO DO.

Find a lawyer immediately. This is well above fishbowl's pay grade. Take a different way home. Change patterns.

But most importantly, stay safe.

My agency has started planning Black History Month, and it got me thinking...

Whenever I got promoted to digital ACD a few years ago, I noticed my pay was much lower than I expected for the market I’m in, hard to find skillsets, performance, and visibility I’ve brought to the agency. I’ve brought this up a few times and was told HR would do research into salary equity, but the convo always fades. I put my foot down with my GCD, and she supports me, but I would like to come to the table with my own research. Where should I be looking for accuracy?

How long did it take you to receive your first promotion? I have 3 years of work experience, currently at my 3rd agency, and third associate position. Four people on my brand team have been promoted (across levels and departments, but none in PM). I'm getting sick of being pumped up with empty praise if others are actually being rewarded with accolades.
