Recently I found out a colleague earns more than I do for the same job role and work. It’s really changed how I see my company and has made me question other things about the company. Have you ever tried to raise the conversation about pay and did leadership take it seriously or shut it down and tell everyone not to talk about it?

i mean you’re unlikely to make the same as anyone else lol just bounce if u get a better offer and you’ll be the guy making more than peers. That’s what everyone does until stability is a higher priority

only time it’s totally predictable like that is if working for the gov, and even then they can tweak it with signup bonuses. The game is just the market, in the end still comes down to demand and supply of labor in this case. They’ll understand if u hop and would do the same in ur shoes.

You are legally protected when talking about salary amongst staff in the US. You can talk to your manager and just say you know you make less than x and you are wondering why there is a discrepancy. I’m pretty sure there’s some act that requires employees doing the same job get paid similarly with differentiation only due to skills and experience. Is it possible this person has an educational background, skill set, or experience that would cause a company to pay more to attain them? On the flip side I’ve often see that if you’ve worked at the company longer it is very likely you you are paid less since your make maybe 2% raise per year but moving to a new company can gain you 20% pay raise

I think in the UK we have a similar thing but most companies shy away from discussing pay openly. I do agree it’s probably worth me checking my options for moving elsewhere because there may be better pay opportunities outside of my company

Has anyone else had a mentor (assigned to them by the Company) who seemed to have it out for you? I mean downright sabotage to make you look bad left and right. I didn’t realize it at first. She was fake friendly, but she was discrete too. Some of the executives thought she was amazing, but I had to clean up her work all the time. She wasn’t above me either on the chain of command. Later I found out she had tried for the exec assistant role and they didn’t choose her, they wanted me instead.
