You don’t put the pen on the company Inc. it will make it awkward for you and those around you. I’ve seen it over and over again and trust me it rarely ends in a love story

Did you pull the trigger?

Kind of.... we hooked up a little at the beginning of busy season but now it seems like there is no time and we haven’t hung out outside of work

I’m currently Fwb with an another associate on the team and it’s fine as long as you don’t openly flirt in front of everyone else and just remain respectful of each and COMMUNICATE

It can work. Maybe you need to find a different FWB

I learned that someone we just hired, in the same team, 1 level lower, came in making 20k more than me. This role is based in SF, and I'm in the midwest.

I have my master's, two years with the company, and was recently promoted last quarter.

I feel some way about this, and I'm wondering if I should bring this up with my manager? I'm grateful for the raise they gave me and the promotion last quarter, but I don't understand how someone at a lower level can be making more? I'm I being greedy?
