What would everyone do if you found out one of your direct reports is earning more than you? I was recently promoted and was going through the payroll and realized one of the more senior people are my team is earning several thousand dollars more a year than me and it's been bugging me all weekend. How should I address this?

And if “several thousand” is less than 10k, you basically make the same amount. And if they are a high level individual contributor who just has no desire for management… maybe it’s ok that they make more.

have you been at the company longer? if so, more recently hired folks will be coming in at market rate. everyone knows that the longer you stay at a company getting your 2-3% raise doesn't keep up with folks that job hop to make 20+% each time. do they have more experience? do they live in a higher COL area? do they have a grad degree? there are several factors that go into comp so it's not always a fair comparison. your job as a manager is to MANAGE and grow your team. if you excel at that, then you will be rewarded as a good manager.
