Angry!!
I was minding my own business at work when I overheard a fellow coworker talking about how much they make. We are both salesmen at the same store, hired at basically the same time, and from what I heard he is making WAY MORE than me - not from commission, but in base pay. I know there could be other reasons but it’s hard not to think it’s because of race. I don’t know how to address the situation, but right now my heart is beating so fast as I type this because I am so angry. I feel betrayed. I thought I was respected at this job, but I guess I was wrong.
Luke, If you believe you are worthy, prove it. As it shows in the bible you get paid only that which you agreed to. Step up show them that you are invaluable to the operation of the company then speck up and ask to be evaluated for a raise. Going into your supervisor and telling him/her what you overheard only leaves you sounding petty. Good luck
Sometimes salaries are based solely on previous experience and different offers are made to different candidates. Also keep in mind, it is human nature for most folks to inflate things. I would not let this bother me too much. I do know that I make more than some of the people that were hired at the same time as me but it was not much. Sometimes it are issues like this that can cause drama in the workplace, drama that can get people fired. I would disregard what they said, as I believe the may have been embellishing. Aside from that I would drop it, you don't want to get on that "list" of troublemakers, I am sure the person you're referring to already may be...
I think you first should find out if what he said its true, Then if it go speak to your supervisor because i will be mad to
Unfortunately you have to suck it up and not mention it. The same thing happened to me. That is why most employers request your confidentiality so as to avoid these issues. He might have more than qualifications, was scouted, or was a great negotiator when applying for the job. Focus on your duties and your time to shine will eventually arrive. It might take a while and a new job but you'll get there.
No you're not wrong just keep it by yourself and pray about it
I would keep things to myself and pray about it
stop feeling this way your turn will come it might not be with that company you are with so keep doing your best .
I'm not sure if you resolved this issue, but as an HR Executive, I'd suggest to you to do NOTHING...for at least three days. That will allow you to 1) cool down and 2) collect your thoughts. It is impossible to know why the other person is making more than you, but you have to ask yourself, "Am I fairly compensated for the work and job I'm doing?" If the answer is yes...issue resolved. Sometimes people with more or specific industry-related experience are paid more in their base salary. However, I would let that motivate me to over-achieve on the commission plan and discuss your total compensation with your boss at your 1-year review.
Sometimes the best email or conversation you can ever write or have, is the one that never takes place. Work is like golf...your're not playing against everyone else, you need to focus on your ball...your shot...and your score. Hope that helps. Good luck.
