‘You’re not getting a raise': Boss refuses to level employee's salary with other team members who are making $20,000 more than them

In most companies, you need to fight tooth and nail to get a good raise. You're not going to receive a big fat check inside a fancy envelope engraved with your initials, accompanied by a note that congratulates you on a job well done. No, managers aren't that nice.

Instead, you're going to have to come up to them with a list of metrics (which they already have) that prove you are worth something. Then you'll need to ramble a bit about how much you appreciate your job, how amazing they are, and then slip in how you've noticed that other companies are offering double what you make for the same role.

It's worse if you find out your team members are making more than you are. Especially if they're doing the exact same job. That's what happened to OP… They found out that their coworkers were making 20k more than them! Check out how they handled it below. Then, here is a story about a woman who demanded her friends leave their toddler at home after booking a friend group vacation. The parents in question didn't have a sitter… What were they to do?
