Thoughts: Managers and senior managers should intervene when project folks starts working more than 8 hours. It's sad that initially everybody talks about 8 hours work goal but employee forced or end up working more than 10 hours. Company is not asking you to work more than 8 hours, it's the pressure from peers and seniors and managers who do "a gentle request" to finish a task asap.
Also managers, Please teach new techies to hold the horses and not put there peer in pressure.

ABSOLUTELY!!! 8hrs of work is enough! Not unless it's really important to do overtime.

Yes absolutely. I am technical lead and I always ask my subordinates to work not more than 7 hours. Eventually at times it gets to nine hours but that's max. I don't like working for more than 7 hours and I also encourage my subordinates to do the same.
7 hours work is a lot of work. Most of the times we wind up within 6 hours / 6 and half hours

I agree but I also think managers and team leads are selfish - they are trying to fulfill their own requirements and look good, and that means putting the team in these positions in order to protect themselves

Not really and not everyone. See, everyone is selfish. And everyone wants growth. But that shouldn't be at the cost of compromising the teammates, whether senior or junior. There's always a way that can benifit all.

Hello everyone!
I recently found out that I was being paid less than everyone in the team (more than 25% gap to more expe teammates, around 15% less than new hires)
We all had the same responsibilities, I consider I even had a heavier workload (talking in past tense since I very recently made an internal move).
Things to consider:
On a work visa
Non-white
Non-male
What would you recommend doing?
Keeping it to myself?
Speaking up? How? With who?

-TIA
